Lahore Karahi

"Open since 1995, Lahore Karahi is an always-lively Pakistani spot in Tooting. You can depend on it for excellent creamy chicken tikka masala karahi, being a place to bring friends when one of them has a new-found obsession with samosa chaat, and for family meals where plates of steaming biryani are passed around and garlic naans are fought over." - rianne shlebak

"You can order Lahore specialties from this curry house in Tooting. Order here or here." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

"Chicken Tikka Masala Karahi dishes are a highlight at this Pakistani spot in Tooting, which has been open since 1995. From the rich and spicy king prawn karahi to the chicken tikka, to the zingy paneer number—this spot makes a top-notch curry. The chicken tikka masala is particularly good. The thin sauce (rather than a cream-heavy variation) is silky smooth and light, which makes it the perfect companion to a biryani. The king prawn version is also a winner." - rianne shlebak, jake missing

"The menu at Lahore is so extensive that Tolstoy might nod off before he gets to the aloo gobi. We’d advice against that though, as you’ll want to order lamb chops, pakoras, tandoori prawns, biriyani, curries, daal, and more from its Tooting location." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing

"Lahore Karahi is an always lively, never disappointing Pakistani spot, which has been open since 1995. You can depend on it for excellent creamy chicken tikka masala karahi, being a place to bring friends when one of them has a new-found obsession with samosa chaat, and for family meals where plates of steaming biryani are passed around and garlic naans are fought over. As for what’s good on the lengthy menu of Pakistani and North Indian classics, the clue is in the name of the restaurant. The karahi dishes, from the rich and spicy king prawn karahi to the zingy paneer number, are excellent." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager, sinead cranna
