Taste of Peshawar

Ps. They run the promotion on the biryani every day with real compatible prices, that makes it daily eatery. This unassuming gem offers a genuinely authentic Pakistani-Afghan dining experience, and I can confidently say it serves the best Kabuli Pulao I’ve ever tasted in London. The rice itself was fragrant, each grain separate yet infused with rich spices and tender meat—just as it should be. The Chapli Kebab was equally excellent: crisp edges, juicy inside, and full of depth, with a balance of herbs and heat that felt both bold and carefully measured. What impressed me most was how everything felt freshly prepared. There was none of the “reheated special” taste that plagues many so-called “ethnic” restaurants. Instead, every bite conveyed the care of home cooking. In a city awash with fusion and oversimplified “South Asian” menus, Taste of Peshawar stands out as a place that genuinely honours Pakistani and Afghani culinary traditions. Service was warm and welcoming. The staff were attentive without being intrusive. Portions were generous, and in terms of value it held up well. If you’re in London and craving food that truly captures the spirit of Peshawar, skip the glitz and head straight here. I’ll be returning, and I can’t wait to try their full Tawa platter next time.

We had the Tawa for 3 Persons, it was piping hot when served to us, the variety was really good and tasty

Nice tasty food the staff and owner was very friendly and welcoming he really thinks about the customer 👍👍👍 Food was very nice tasty and fresh I cant find anything to complain about 😀 They give free complimentary daal as well 🙌🏼

I ordered Chapli kebab n lamb karahi food has authentic taste and customer service was good too. Don’t forget to try their Qahwa to neutralise your taste buds.

I was on vacation this week in London. Found this place on google maps and didn’t expect it to be so good. The food was amazing. The servers were excellent. They were so accommodating. Would recommend this place to friends and families any day! We had a variety of dishes. My favorite was their Tawa Speciall. Their biryani was a family favorite.

Whenever we have a booking in Wembley we always make sure we stop at this restaurant to eat. Have tried their tawa for 2 and kabuli pilau. The amazing taste is the reason we’ve visited 4+ times. Food is so flavourful and lovely customer service. 10/10

Delicious food - we had a combo platter for two (pictured). Came with various chicken, lamb and daal bits, chips, naan bread, and salad. All delicious, varied flavours - and lovely thick mango lassi! Staff very friendly. Made a great chilled out lunch before a match at Wembley. Would go again!

Visited Taste of Peshawar recently and was quite underwhelmed. The ventilation is a serious issue within minutes, my clothes and hair were saturated with the smell of grilled meat, which lingered long after the meal. Food-wise, the chicken curry was a highlight flavourful and well-cooked. However, the sauces lacked depth and tasted quite bland. The chapli kebab was unfortunately disappointing. Customer service was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated, but overall the experience was average at best. There’s definite room for improvement, especially with ventilation and consistency in food quality.
