Lahore One Restaurant

You'll find yourself on Commercial Road in Whitechapel, where Lahore One sits among the neighbourhood's other brilliant Pakistani spots—but this one's got the loyal following for a reason. Walk in and you're met with the smell of charred meat and spiced butter, the kitchen doing proper work. The room's unpretentious: strip lighting, straightforward tables, everyone here for the food. Order the karahi chicken if you want to understand what the fuss is about—meat cooked in that distinctive wok with tomatoes and green chilli, served sizzling and begging for warm naan. The biryani's solid too, and the dhal makhani is the kind of thing you'll crave midweek.
