My Nawaab

You'll spot the fairy lights and marble tables before you even sit down – this isn't your average curry house. The kitchen takes Pakistani classics seriously here, with karahi dishes that arrive still bubbling and naan that's properly blistered from the tandoor. The lamb chops are what regulars order without looking at the menu, and the biryani comes layered with the kind of precision that makes you wonder why you ever settled for takeaway versions. The dining room strikes that tricky balance between elegant and welcoming, with enough ambient lighting to make date night work but not so precious that you can't bring the extended family for Sunday lunch. Service moves at a decent clip even when it's rammed, which it usually is at weekends.
