I was recommended this place but was nearly put off by some reviews, so glad we went no complaints at all the staff were lovely and the food amazing, I would definitely recommend it.
The best Indian take-away I have ever eaten at!. I would nearly fly back to London just to eat here again 5 stars
walked in on a busy saturday afternoon for a family lunch. the place is busy lacking the ambiance you would expect from a good reataurant. the order came pretty much fast. taste is perfect s we expected. presentation good. portion was ok. i loved the taste.
one thing i would have loved is not charging for the chutney tray for ordering the papad which i was not told that we will be charged. pretty weired as we did not ask but was presented. so thought chutney was complimentary as with other restaurants.
but overall my experience was good and i would recommend.
Much better than your average high street curry house but pretty average compared to the competition in the area. Some dishes tasted a little bland
Finally on the second day I was able to drop in to Lahore Karahi on a Sunday late around 11pm. Ordered butter and Garlic nans along with Chicken Butter Masala, Lamb curry and Aubergine Masala. The Chicken Butter Masala was awesome and this is a BYOB place. Nice place to have a good Pakistani meal.
Really nice food at good prices. Very local with friendly staff. Would definitely recommend if you wanted to get authentic good yummy food!!
Tried out Lahore karahi a few weeks ago and as with most places in tooting, the value and quality of food was brilliant. Rotis were huge and well cooked, chana masala beautifully spiced and in a well portioned dish and shikh kebabs nice too. Tandoori chicken was poor though- really lacked flavour. The service could do with a smile too!

We're slowly but surely making our way round our neighbourhood curry houses and finally paid a visit to Lahore Karahi- semi prompted by the new jazzier refurb and Eatlikeagirl's good looking lamb chops masala photo on Twitter!
We showed up around 6ish on a Friday night; it wasn't too busy but by the time we left the tables were fast filling up and they were also doing a roaring trade with the takeaways- of course this always inspires me with some confidence.
Lamb rogan josh- fragrant and tender, lamb masala karahi- great recommendation from the waiter, I loved the smokey flavour but the bones can be fiddly, chicken madras- spiciest of the three, good flavour but a little disappointed they used breast meat as some of the pieces were a little dry. All mopped up with sides of rice and garlic naan.
As usual we probably didn't need that third curry but it's so cheap, you're hardly going to bat an eyelid! We left ridiculously full, well dosed up on our spice, and with a new curry house on the leaderboard... though Dosa n Chutney is still the place to go for your dosa, the curries here were lovely and we weren't left with that salty thirsty feeling afterwards!
In my opinion, this is probably the best curry place in London. I have seen this place get popular over the years and can totally get why. Usually it's always very busy in the evenings and the queues can be long, but they do move quickly as the service is pretty quick and you would usually be seated in about 10-15 minutes.
Our standard order is the Chicken Tikka Karahi with roti or naan. I have tried most of the dishes here and here is what I would recommend:
Vegetarian
Starter - Paneer tikka
Main - Matar Paneer, Karahi Saag Paneer, Tarka dal
Non-vegetarian
Starter - Chicken Tikka, Seekh Kebab
Main - Chicken Tikka Karahi (not to be confused with the Chicken Tikka Masala, which is creamy), Masala Lamb Chop, Prawn Biryani, Meat Biryani
Dessert
Falooda Lahori
Basic cafe format, service friendly but erratic. Food pretty good though, my chicken ginger karahi v tasty. About a tenner a head. Not outstanding but will def go back.
My favourite place in tooting for curry. I always loved it now they have improved the ambiance aswell. After having such a nice curry at Lahore in tooting i cant stop myself going there twice a week.
With the clear glass shopfront it looks very trendy and modern. Hihly recommendable i worked all over the europe and to my experience this is the best curry i have ever....thumbs up for Lahore as they are the best.
Cheap and Tasty. This is our local curry stop. More of a cafe than a restaurant and always pretty full in the evenings. Its BYO, no alcohol is served but for me the lassi is the best to go with the curry - traditional or mango.
Try the mixed grill which is always spicy and tasty!
Prices are pretty low in line with the local other places along Tooting High Road.
The food at this place is excellent. It is halal. The mix grill was very delicious. The lamb curry and the chaat were also very nice. The mango lassi was also refreshing and it had the right level of sweetness. The decor at this place is simple but nice. This place is often very busy so getting a table may sometimes be difficult. I went a later in the day when it was less busy and the dining experience was better. Overall, a great place to dine out and worth visiting. The prices of the food is also reasonable.
Been coming here for years. Not a huge fan of the major makeover, but I suppose it has given them a huge influx of new customers.
Luckily, the food is still very straightforward and to the point. Simple Pakistani cooking served in generous portions. Great for sharing. I normally go for a karahi gosht, chicken biryani, and butter naan (which are all great).
Decided to get a daal, nihari, and rogni naan this time around. Nihari is one of the better ones I've had, but I wish it was slightly thicker and had a touch more salt. Rogni is by far the best I've had, hot and fluffy. Daal is very basic and simple - does the job.
Samosa chaat was nice but would've been made even better with some crispy bits.
Food was delicious and if you do go then the lamb chops on the grill are an absolute must and loads of people had the same. Vege samosas were really nice as well.
Food delivery was very quick and hot on arrival.
Would come here again.
The last time we had been to this place was during the 'Eat Out to Help Out' food scheme during lockdown, and that was a complete disaster for obvious reasons.
Gave it another shot anyway and was pleasantly surprised with the modern makeover of the place.
Food is slightly oily, quite typical for this to happen to restaurant food, but very lovely overall.
I like that you can take your own drinks in there for a surcharge of £2/person, which is not bad at all. (Especially that they don't sell alcohol and a spicy curry goes nice with a beer).
Maybe book a table beforehand as there is always a queue in there.
Very busy restaurant, we had to wait over 15 mins to be seated. However, it was worth it as the food was delicious. We been to this restaurant few times but always enjoyed the food. We ordered a number of dishes, and every one of them tasted exceptionally brilliant. The price seems reasonable but could have been cheaper in comparison to other high-end restaurants. Anyway, overall, everything was nice and had a wonderful evening.
Hugely busy, buzzy and lively restaurant. Queued without a booking and so glad we did. The food was absolutely first class and the staff attentive albeit rushed off their feet. The food, tables and general service was run like a military operation and really efficient. BYO meant we took a nice bottle which cost us £4 corkage rather than being charged twice the price for a cheap bottle. All round great experience and we will be back very soon!! Highly recommend a visit along with all the other people queueing out of the door for a table.
Really good food but service was slow. But we were not rushing so it was fine. The staff were all really friendly and hospitable. We got the mango lasso, meat karahi, saag paneer and chicken danshak.
The food was delicious and excellent quality, fantastic value and nice waiters. No complaints. I highly recommend this place. I especially liked the meat biryani. We dined in but they had so many takeaway orders coming through—proof that the food is delicious
Lahore Kadahi is one of the best Pakistani restaurant near my home. It's near Tooting Broadway station and right on the high street. Easily spotted too. I love their food. Ee order in quite frequently. But some of the items are best enjoyed hot and in the restaurant.
So we started our meal with Lahori Nasta. It's a platter of Chole, Puri and halwa. The quantity is usually quite large. So sharing could be a better option. I loved the chhole and I loved the halwa. The puri was a bit oily. It was followed by lamb kadahi and Tandoori roti. Quite nice both of them. Especially the Tandoori roti. No oil, no butter but still so soft that you can tear it with two fingers and moist inside. By this time we were so full but couldn't resist the sindhi biriyani served at the neighboring tables. So we ordered that. Undoubtedly the best sindhi biryani in town. Though we had to pack 90% of it and I enjoyed it at dinner.
**My recommendation goes to them.
A friendly family run place serving authentic Pakistani dishes.
We ordered a variety of dishes as it was our first time. The food was tasty but we found it very oily, and that's the reason for 4 stars .
All of the dishes had a lot of oil in it.
The service timing was less than 10 minutes for the mains to come out, customer service was also good and the atmosphere was really nice.
