Found this reviewed online and decided to try as was staying in this area and seemed a good place for dinner. It was very busy (even on Monday night), but we were found a table for 2 within 5 minutes or so. Not over-friendly service, but courteous and efficient. All our courses tended to overlap, making it the kind of... more

just totally crazy....the best Indian food I've ever had ...very cheap...very very good...but very very spicy...be careful with your stomac...lol more

Spend the last 6 months in London due to work - which is down Brick Lane. So I would say I have had my share of currys and other Indian food. But today I had my girlfriend over and visiting me, went online to try and find something new (as Brick Lane can be so extremely busy on Sundays due... more

A foodie friend of mine recommended Tayyabs, and it did not disappoint. I lived in London for three years and love Indian/Pakistani food, and this was one of the best spots I've found food-wise. We got there early (6-ish) as we were unable to secure a reservation, and the line to get in can be loooooong. We waited for just... more

We've been to many but this is the best South Asian restaurant in London. The first thing you will notice (as you queue out of the door) is the bustling atmosphere - all London is here.

The problem is that every time it dissapoints. The food can be a little on the greasy side, and every time we've come here (ok only 4 times), some one has had a... more

Went to Tayyabs restaurant yesterday (5/6/2009) with a friend. It is quite a large establishment, located behind a mosque in East London, possibly created by knocking three houses into one, providing ground floor dining space for about 100, with some little rooms off the main eating area. The restaurant does not have a licence and so we took our own... more

I've been to hundreds of indian restaurants, and been to Tayyabs a couple of times recently. The lamb chop starter is amazing. But before your bum hits the seat, there are poppadums on the table and then less than a minute later you are press ganged into ordering. All food arrives quickly and at the same time, and then it's... more

We went for lunch on the weekend and had no wait. It is crowded inside but the food was fantastic and full of flavor. more
