Taste Of Lahore Hammersmith and Shepherds Bush Branch

The food was spot on — the spice level and flavour were just right, and it was delicious. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed it. They have a great menu, and I’m excited to try more on my next visit. I highly recommend it.

I visited the restaurant today at 2pm with my Wife to take advantage of the Lunch time promotion (Everyday from Noon-3pm) I ordered a Quarter chicken, chips and a drink. The waitress asked me what level of spice did I want the chicken, I requested mild spice. The food arrived (picture attached) which clearly shows no seasoning, not even salt and pepper, I raised this matter with the waitress and she argued the point this is mild spice. I was repeatedly explaining there’s is no flavour on this chicken but she was persistent in her views that this is mild spice and that mild spice means no sauce/ flavour. ( No I’m not kidding, she actually said this. Wallah!) She then showed her iPad where orders take place and I explained to her that one of the spice options is “plain” which is what I received but she still had confidence in her views. Eventually I raised this with the chef who also has same views as the waitress but he mildly corrected the chicken to the desired flavour. Once we ate the food, I went to the toilet to wash my hands, I returned where I noticed the waitress rushed my Wife to pay for the bill before I had a chance to take a look. When I reviewed the bill, I realised the waitress charged full price for my Wife’s order when this was part of the lunch time offer. I questioned why did she charge full price, her response was “Because madam ordered food using the menu, not the lunch time offer menu”(a separate menu which is also printed on the front window of the restaurant). That was not true because my Wife ordered the food infront of me using the promotional menu. Lying in our face to defend her point is one thing, but the logic behind her defence is going too far now. I’d like to consider myself a patient man but honestly, Taste of Lahore Hammersmith, what is going on here?! I eventually got the difference refunded after 15 mins of arguing my point to all the staff in the restaurant at the time. I’ve been to taste of Lahore branches in Hounslow, Wembley, Harrow and Ealing for years and never had such issues or concerns, usually the staff are great and very generous. It’s a shame because this branch is the most aesthetically pleasing. I hate to sound like a Karen but I thought I was going insane or living in some parallel universe if that exists, I don’t even think a parallel universe will operate with such weird logic. I didn’t speak to the managers of the restaurant yet as there weren’t any present at the time so still waiting for their feedback. I have no problem with mistakes with my food or with staff, but I don’t appreciate when someone is clearly wrong yet trying to prove they are not. Also forgot to mention, when the chicken was “milded”, the chips became cold and they did not offer to make a fresh portion as a good will gesture. By the way, what is going on with that salad sauce thing. Finally my Wife would also like to mention, the rice dish She ordered was very starchy. She ordered the chicken option but somehow lamb also got into the dish. Might be a bonus but raises alot of questions judging from todays scene of event. Taste of Lahore, you are better than that. I’m waiting to hear from you.

Taste of Lahore is especially loved for its casual, no-frills atmosphere that lets the food shine. The service is fast and friendly, and the prices are affordable, making it a great spot for family dinners, group gatherings, or late-night meals. The restaurant’s popularity is a testament to its consistent quality and the comforting, nostalgic flavors it offers. Whether you’re craving a hearty meat curry or just want to enjoy a plate of chana masala with naan, Taste of Lahore in Hammersmith delivers a satisfying, authentic taste of Pakistan in the heart of London.

I really like the food. I have ordered seekh kebab, Charsi kharai, Paya and fish Grill. I highly recommend the place.

I order two chicken tikka and I have allergy of sauce, so I put note no any sauce please, but I receive my order with sauce and this is the second time it happened I don’t want to order from here again

Excellent food, sensational nihari. Karahi needs more tomato, and tandoori paratha needs to be more fluffy, but naan is excellent. Heavily recommend

Cannot fault the taste of lahore. The portions were big and the food was excellent. We were a group of 8 and had two mixed platters plus fried fish and naans to start. Then a chicken biriyani and a chicken curry and more naans to finish. Very good value and pleasant atmosphere. Our waitress was very attentive. Update - I have now eaten here three times. Each time the service and food are excellent. I really like the tikka and masala fish and chilli naans. Update - on my most recent visit this week the food was different, the chicken was dry and the food has started to come out on plates. The chef has started adding a massive blob of mayo and chilli sauce into every plate. I asked twice for no mayo but it kept coming. It ruined the meal as no one in our group wanted mayo. I've attached a new pic. Disappointing as this was a great restaurant. Not too sure what was going on as the front door has to keep being opened too because there was a gas smell. Update - we decided to try ToL again as it used to be so good. The food is back to the best. We ordered a few big mixed platters, naans and salad. I said a few times that we didn't want the mayo or sauce with the meats. I'm glad I said it otherwise I think it would have appeared.

I had the most delicious meal I'd tasted in years! Chicken, rice, meat and drinks were exquisite. I didn't have to wait much for the food and they let me take away the rest of my meal (they were about to close). They played some nice Indian music inside and I saw some Indian people sitting next to me, who seemed to be enjoying as well. I think that's something to say. I'm really happy I went there. Thanks, guys!
