Lahori Tawa in Leicester

The Lahori Tawa is so easy to miss as the restaurant next door is 'Dawat' but the 'Dawat' wall facing you as you walk from the main road side has a large sign on the side of the wall displaying 'Lahori Tawa', so one can easily be confused. For Lahori Tawa you have to walk down the stairs and the establishment exists in the basement. We chose 'Mila Jula Tawa' (view photo). The food was really nice & tasty & even though we reached late and they were to about to close they accommodated our request.

Ordered x2 Tawa for 5 people potion was good! Everyone enjoyed their he food really pleased we visiedOnly thing that let them down is the basement deco out dated just needed a new face overall. But definitely food 10/10

Booked a table got one late then we waited for our food for 1 hour.After 1 hour half of our food arrived having been told the rest will follow in 10 mins. After half an hour we were told the order was incorrectly taken.Many people were complaining about the seating and we were also charged for the order which we didn't receive. We informed the staff who then deducted the missed order.Needs closing down.

This place failed in every category imaginable.1. Location.This is effectively a basement with no windows, proper ventilation or lighting. The tables and tawa holders were dirty with salan stains and were not clean. The entrance is like an alleyway and it does not feel like a proper restaurant. I would score 2/10.2. Seating.The upholstery is ripped and the tables and chairs seem to be mismatched with no uniformity. The waiters seem to be wearing casual clothes and we could not distinguish waiters from guests. We called ahead to accomodate a table of 10 people but it seemed two random tables were pulled together infront of us whilst we awkwardly waited on the side and it felt really unorganised. I would score 2/10.3. Name.I came here expecting lahori (punjabi) cuisine with some dishes from this region. I did not find any of this on the menu and the food tasted very bland with little to no spice. It seems rather misleading and there is nothing punjabi or lahori about it. I would score 2/10.4. Service.Our order was duly taken on arrival but they seemed to have missed half of our order. It was now 9.30pm so we decided to eat what was served. We finished half of the meal with some of our family members and children not eating properly or at all due to missing food. The drinks were also missing from the table. We chased for the remaining tawa and the waitress told us to allow them a further ten minutes. We asked the owner again after 30 minutes and she told us the chef had missed the tawa and we would have to wait another 25 minutes for it. We decided to give up and leave but we were charged for the tawa and drinks which we did not recieve. This was rectified. I am aware the other guests in the restaurant had similair issues as us. I would score 1/10.5. Food.The food is very overpriced with little to no flavour. It is served on a large tawa but the food itself is very less and is served on a large bed of uncooked white onions to give the impression it is abundant. The chips were around 20 single peices covered in ketchup and chilli powder. It could not be sufficient to satisfy 2 children. The tawa js said to feed 4 persons at a price of £46.00 but 2 people could finish it with ease. The seekh kebabs are the thickness of one's middle finger and the chicken has a rubbery texture and feel. The shish kebabs are the size of one's thumb and the tawa contained two peices.6. Overall.This place is not worth visiting. We only attended as other restaurants were too busy and it was getting late for the children. I will score 2/10.

Absolutely horrible! I went there for dinner with my family today . The place was not clean at all. The service was slow as many customers kept asking for the whereabouts of their order. We ordered the mila jula tawa which had no basic taste of salt and spices of any normal barbecue and curry. I would definitely advise not to visit this place .

Went for a wedding dinner. for starters were chicken tikka, seekh kebab and papri chaat. all were outstanding, the mains were lamb biryani, chicken tikka masala and lamb karahi. lamb karahi was one of the best I've had and the other dishes were very good too.for dessert there was kheer and that was great. service was a bit slow but the food made up for it big time.Lahori tawa is a hidden gem. definately would go to try out teh other dishes on future.

First time visiting.. didn't enjoy it unfortunately. The presentation is not good, maybe get a smaller tawa platter so it doesn't look like there isnt much food on there! Portion size adequate, the meat was mostly bone too. I enjoyed the rice and roti with chicken curry but just wasn't enough of it for the price not worth it.

I wanted to try mutton karahi... so I opted for Mila Jula Tawa ( recommended by the waiter ).. with this tawa... along with mutton karahi I got variety of 6 different dishes on 1 platter... amazing and tasty!!Mr. Asif the owner came along to enquire if everything was OK. So over all, I would highly recommend this place. So food lovers go ahead and enjoy the tawa.

It is the worst place to experience so far.food might looks good but taste aweful. They have charged £55 for drinks and 1 mixed tawa consisting of lamb karahi, chiken karahi, chiken seekh kebab,lamb chops , chicken sheesh , chiken wings, rice , chips and naan bread. Portion size was quite adequate and price is good but seriously if you are looking for some good tasty food place then i bet that you shouldn't have to go this place. Please don't look at the star ratings.its all lie. Best of luck with your food / resturant hunt.cheers

It is in the basement, so no windows- but it is nice enough. We ordered 1 tawa for 4. This includes lit of grilled meats. It was more than enough for 5 people. We ordered a chicken karahi which was again a very large portion, perfectly spiced however a little too much salt (me being too picky). The pilau rice were noce enough but they were a little plain and too much like boiled rice.
