BYO curry house serving Pakistani cuisine. Established in 1995, Lahore Karahi is a family-run restaurant. Despite the complexity of our dishes, our recipe for a great evening is simple: mouth-watering food, a lively atmosphere and close friends. Because we don’t just want to make great curry, no – we want our food to bring people together. And we think it does. When you come to Lahore Karahi on any given evening, you’ll hear friends laughing, glasses clinking and food sizzling. For us, that’s mission accomplished. If that sounds like your kind of evening, then you know where to find us.When it comes to London curry houses, our name has been dropped in a number of top-ten lists (a top-five too, actually), but we don’t like to rest on our laurels – we’d rather you come and taste for yourself. We make food that’s quick, flavourful and affordable, so whether you want to stop by for a sit-down meal or grab a takeaway, we’re certain we’ll be seeing you again.
