And even if it wasn't made well, at least other places give you chicken breast. There were even bits of something else in it, perhaps gristle? I threw those pieces away and quickly disposed of the rest in the bin. I'm sorry, but if a restaurant can't get the simplest of dishes right, I won't be giving them a chance to try anything else. It's a shame.

The flavors were excellent. The biryani chicken was also a standout dish, with firm and separate long grain rice and flavorful chicken. There are many other enticing options on the menu, such as karahi, haleem, and Lahori channa. Overall, Bab e Khyber deserves five stars for its quality food and great value.

I was disappointed with the lack of flavor in the dish despite the large portion size. The pakora itself was fresh, but it lacked any real taste. It's a shame because the restaurant is visually appealing. I feel the recipe needs some adjustments as soon as possible. I probably won't be returning, as the chicken pakora was not spicy as advertised, but rather bland and lacking in both flavor and spice.

Lovely chicken tikka kebab. Highly recommended. Will try one of the main dishes next time. The Biryani and Chana daal looked great. read more Lovely chicken tikka kebab. Highly recommended. Will try one of the main dishes next time. The Biryani and Chana daal looked great.

Thinkng was that if a place can't get pakora right then that sends a clear message for more complex meals? I'm afraid it was a brutal experience and in all honesty the worst pakora I have ever tried and trust me, like a few, I have probably eaten my weight in pakora over the years. Other places cook and reheat too, I get it, but this was dry chicken pakora closer to rubber than chicken. And even if not made well at least other places give you chicken breast. A few bits were something else, gristle? Chucked those bits away, then quickly threw the rest in the bin. Sorry if you cant make the simplist of food, then no chance of trying anything else. Shame
