As one of the most popular foodie spots in Brick Lane, Tayyabs restaurant in East London is a haven for delicious and affordable traditional Pakistani and Punjabi cuisine. Having first opened in 1974, Tayyabs has retained its star status and remains an inexpensive, casual and bustling destination. Open every day from noon to midnight, it’s easy to see why this out of the way restaurant is a consistent foodie favourite: lamb, seekh and chicken kebabs perfectly cooked to their juiciest at jaw droppingly low prices. Start your dinner with the mixed poppadoms accompanied by raw onion, tomato, cucumber and a few chutneys, along with one of their famous lassis to counter the spiciness of the food to come. Try their dry meat kheema (ground meat mixed with spices), their succulent lamb chops grilled in the traditional tandoor, or the exquisite fish masala. Fluffy naan made tandoor-fresh is also an essential accompaniment for any dish on the menu. Another highlight is that you can also bring your own bottle(s), free of corkage charge. This is a quintessential casual dining experience in East London’s popular Brick Lane district.
