A Menu That Celebrates Authentic Lahori Flavors

Signature Dishes That Define Tradition

At the center of Lahori Nihaari’s menu lies its namesake — Nihari. This slow-cooked stew is a cornerstone of Pakistani cuisine, featuring tender beef bathed in a rich, spiced gravy that develops depth and warmth over hours of simmering. It’s a dish that embodies patience, tradition, and craftsmanship.

Other slow-cooked classics such as Haleem, Paya, and Lamb Karahi Gosht continue the theme of hearty, comforting meals layered with flavor. Each one tells a story of home-style cooking passed down through generations.

From the Grill – A Feast for the Senses

For those who prefer smoky, char-grilled delights, Lahori Nihaari offers a stellar range of Seekh Kebabs, Lamb Chops, Chicken Tikka, and Chicken Wings. These dishes deliver bold, aromatic flavors and tender textures that pair beautifully with freshly baked Naan, Paratha, or the ever-popular Kulcha Naan.

Fans of vibrant spice blends will enjoy Chicken Karahi and Keema Naan, while vegetarian guests can delight in Chana Masala or Chicken Cholley, accompanied by fresh chutneys and crisp salads for a balanced, refreshing contrast.

Review

What Customers Say

"I had the pleasure of visiting Lahori Nihaari in London yesterday, and what an incredible introduction it was to Pakistani cuisine! Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. We started with Bhindi Chicken, which was a delightful blend of spices and okra. The Chicken Haleem was rich, hearty, and comforting — a real highlight. The Chicken Karahi Lamb Biryani had the perfect balance of aroma and spice. The Lamb Chops were succulent and expertly grilled. To top it all off, we shared a jug of Mango Lassi — and it was pure heaven. Sweet, creamy, and refreshing — the perfect finish to a fantastic meal. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to explore authentic Pakistani flavors in the heart of London!"

Dhiya Dinesh

"I had an amazing dining experience at Lahori Nihari London! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the lahori chhole puri which was rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The halva was fresh and complemented the nihari perfectly. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a family dinner or a meal with friends. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Pakistani cuisine. I will definitely be coming back!"

Bhumika Gaudani

"The food was excellent. The only issue we had was that they accept cash only, which is inconvenient since most people don’t carry cash these days—blame COVID and mobile technology. Luckily, one member of our party had enough cash to cover all our meals. It’s a shame this restaurant is getting its ratings hammered just because of the ‘cash only’ policy. Remove that issue, and this place would probably be the best restaurant in the area by far."

Liakat Khan

"The food was delicious, and the customer service was outstanding. They took the time to explain the menu and guide us toward the right portion sizes. After we shared what we were looking for, they understood perfectly and made excellent recommendations. The only downside was that card payment wasn’t welcoming it would be great if that could be added in the future."

Amatunoor Raida Kazi

"The filet mignon was cooked flawlessly — medium rare, juicy, and full of flavor. The truffle butter on top added an earthy richness that made the dish unforgettable. Paired with roasted vegetables and a red wine reduction, it felt luxurious and indulgent, easily the highlight of the evening."
