“ I am going here since 2019. We tried many dishes, except biryani all of them we liked. Our choice always their starters - chapli kebab, lamb chops, rolls. Plenty of seating area. Only complaint I have , not easy to find someone to order foods. Few parking are available, luckily got it every time I went in the evening. They allow outside alcohol or any other drinks. ”
“ I've eaten here several times before and have always been impressed by the standard of food. The Lahori Korahi serves Indian, Pakistani and other Asian food and is well known for, among other things, its delicious lamb chops. However, on my last couple of visits here, I've noticed that while the flavouring is still fabulous, the quality of the meat is not what they used to be, and can be rather chewy, which is a shame. The restaurant doesn't have a licence to serve alcohol, but it does allow its customers to consume alcohol that has been purchased elsewhere. Spicy poppadoms are served gratis, along with a side salad and two types of relish, one of which has a nice fiery bite to it. In addition to the lamb chops starter, we ordered butter chicken, lamb korahi, chicken tikka with sides of tarka dahl and bombay aloo. We also had garlic and plain naans. The lamb korahi was fabulous and really full of spicy flavours. The tarka dahl and bombay aloo were also very nicely cooked and really hit the spot. The chicken tikka portion size was very generous and, again, was a culinary delight. The butter chicken was so, so, and rather oily, but I'm not a big fan of this dish anyway (my partner ordered it). The plain naan was delicious while the garlic naan was nice, but again, a little oily. If you love authentic and delicious Indian food at a very reasonable price then the Hounslow Lahori Korahi is well worth a visit. ”
