Dilpasand Restaurant

We had a great experience at this Pakistani restaurant. We for 21:30 and were served immediately, which already set the tone for a smooth evening. One thing I genuinely appreciated was the big bottle of water a full litre and a half. Most places bring you a tiny bottle and call it a day, so this felt like a small but thoughtful gesture. The menu is extensive and full of tempting options. Portions aren’t huge, which actually works well because you can order a variety of dishes and try more things. I’d strongly recommend the pani puri and lamb which is fresh, punchy, and absolutely delicious and the grilled meats, which were beautifully cooked and full of flavour. We did have a minor issue with a cold draft inside the restaurant, but after moving to another table it was completely resolved. The staff were kind and attentive throughout, and the service was quick without feeling rushed. The food tasted fresh and vibrant, and the complimentary dessert at the end was a lovely touch.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, the staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive. The service was genuinely thoughtful — they took the time to explain the menu, gave us excellent recommendations, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the evening without ever being overbearing. The food was phenomenal — easily some of the best Pakistani cuisine I’ve had. Every dish was packed with flavour, beautifully cooked, and clearly made with care and authenticity. You can really tell the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. What really sets this place apart, though, is the hospitality. The team made us feel like guests rather than customers, which elevated the whole experience. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend to anyone looking for incredible Pakistani food paired with outstanding service.

It is a great place to eat authentic halal Pakistani food. Chicken Madrasi was the best among chicken biryani and sheesh kebab which we tried. Sheesh kebabs were a bit dry and really spicy so remember to mention if you don't eat much spices. Other than that everything was great. We were served very well by Mr. Ghufran :).

Absolutely loved the food! The Chicken 65 paired with Rumali Roti was a standout—flavorful, tender, and perfectly spiced. The Haleem was rich and comforting, and those ginger chunks added a delightful kick. My friend tried the Chana Masala with Lacha Paratha and was genuinely impressed—even though he rarely enjoys much food outside, he truly loved this meal. Hats off to the chef…. A big shoutout to Ruhaan and Murtuza for their exceptional service! They were warm, attentive, and made our dining experience truly memorable. Their friendly demeanour and thoughtful gestures added a personal touch that made us feel genuinely welcomed.

What a lovely resturant, the grills and somosa chat was amazing. The curries and biriani was definitely very tasty, lovely customer service. Karak chai was 10/10. We will definitely be back again!

An easy 10/10. I love everything about this place. It’s my first time in London, and I’m so happy I found it. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Special Lamb Nihari, both were beyond words. It was the best chicken tikka masala I’ve ever had (and I’ve had many), and the lamb was incredibly tender, literally falling off the bone. The spices were rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The service was exceptional. The owner was incredibly welcoming, invited us to come back again, and even treated us to their special dessert on the house. I was truly speechless. I will definitely be coming back and can only highly recommend this place.

I went to get a mixed grill, which was only £5 because the app neotaste subsidised the price. As usual, places like these also subsidise the size of the food. The food was very good and had great flavour and the service was great too. They gave kheer complementary, but I noticed the hygiene level wasn't great.

Landed in London from Paris, watched few tiktok videos that highly recommended ‘Dilpasand’. Went straight to the restaurant - food, service and ambience were amazing! Akram served us with respect and professionalism and recommended Gola Kebab, Lahore Tikka, Lamb Nihari and Chicken Karahi! All the dishes were outstanding! We were offered complimentary Phirni by Murtuza! Overall great service, food and ambience! Will definitely be back before we head back home to Australia!
