You know you're onto something good when a restaurant has been packing out the same spot for decades without needing to reinvent itself. Tucked into Quarry House near the city centre, this feels like the kind of place where three generations of the same family have their regular table, and the waiters remember exactly how you like your lamb karahi. The menu reads like a love letter to proper Pakistani cooking – forget the usual British curry house suspects and go straight for their signature karahi dishes, which arrive sizzling in proper cast iron pans. The naan bread alone is worth the trip, pillowy and charred in all the right places. It's the sort of dependable excellence that makes you wonder why you ever bother trying anywhere else.
