Review of New Tayyab

31 Jul 07, 22:54

My favourite Indian (well really Pakistan origin) food 5*

I love the food here. Tucked behind Whitechapel High Street and right next to the Royal London Hospital it is a popular place so be prepared to queue. Have queued a couple of times for about 30-40 minutes. But even when I have booked in advance, have still had to wait for a short while until they have space.

The mango lassi is delightful here. Frothy, sweet and not too heavy. I also recommend the tandoori lamb and the kebabs for starters. The kebabs arrive sizzling on a hot dish, packed with spices and herbs which just makes a meal more exciting. I might be remembering this inaccurately, but they were around the 80p mark and worth more than every penny. And the lamb, so soft that it just slid off the bone and just melts in your mouth. It is however, quite spicy, so be prepared, the dishes may not be too suitable for timid tastebuds.

A meal here will generally cost around a tenner, and is definately worth the trek out Eastbound.

Best thing about where I live It's so central that I can walk everywhere and there's a lot of squares of grass dotted about.
Worst thing about where I live There are too many tourists and its always busy.
