Great food, good service, Value for Money. Its a nice cosy place and it really does deserve 5 stars. We went as a group from work for Xmas dinner and the menu had something for everyone and all enjoyed the food.

Legendary family restaurant serving Pakistani cuisine to a very high standard. I?m usually here every 2-3 months and is consistently incredible. Food is super quick and great service. Prices are reasonable but on the slight high side however, it?s clear to see the ingredients are good quality. They have specials here that are cheap fyi. Basic but as a great restaurant like this should be, absolutely no frills and intense flavours.

Stunning flavours, friendly caring service. Go go go! It's a BYO establishment with a very close Tesco if you want wine or ale. We had the recommended dishes - although I'd gladly go back and sample more. I want to try the Methi Chicken next time. The rice pudding was a revelation with delicate cardamon flavouring - like no rice pudding you ever tasted. Thank you Lahore One!

I?m a repeat reviewer. Been coming here 4-6 times per year for many years now. Gives me a certain insight particularly in matters of consistency, improvement and standards. Likely to be my last review of this wonderful, charming and cherished gaff for a while. I can only say the food was, as has always been, top-draw. The service was typically welcoming, familiar, and valued. Check out the pics. I can?t wait to return.

Amazing food. Absolutely delicious and so reasonably priced. Will be coming back again and again. The staff were brilliant too but the food stole the show

Excellent food, as usual and friendly staff. Have known this place since it first opened and am never disappointed. A wonderful evening - good food, BYO - friendly and helpful staff.

Great food, Lahore one is an old school no frills cafe serving tasty food, one of the best in E1. Slow cooked Chan (6 hours) and Rice Pudding (6 hours) are staples. Went last night with 5 friends. Service was fast and friendly and all the food was great.

We visited Lahore One Restaurant (218 Commercial Rd, Whitechapel, London E1 2JT opposite McDonalds) for the first time. We were pleasantly surprised with the service and tasty Punjabi style cuisine. We had lamb karahi, chicken karahi and channa dishes with tandoori nans and Mogo chips and finished off with kheer sweet dish; we toughly enjoyed all the dishes. It?s no frills restaurant serving excellent ?home cooked taste? food, we will visit Lahore One again soon.

Lahore One never disappoints! I love how many delicious vegetarian options is available there. The lovely people who work there are always super friendly. Would recommend!

I frequent this bastion of Pakistani Cuisine in the E1 area regularly. The food here is unique (albeit oily) and Lahore One has a proud ownership, proud family and well-informed staff who will try to accommodate you as best as they can. The food here is quite different from the other major Pakistani outlets (Lahore Kebab House, Tayyab), some would say it has an authenticity that cannot be matched. The Lamb Karahi, Chana, and Kheer are legendary. There's a rather good veg option which can vary daily. On the Biriyani question, L1 do what many restaurants do which is to add curry to rice & I find it remarkable that some on this review page expect more. If you want a genuine Biriyani go to Gymkhana in Mayfair! I am not surprised to read some scathing reviews on this page. I have witnessed some questionable customer behaviour, usually because some nubile's waltz in expecting a form of subservience from the minimal-sized staff in this small establishment & instead are greeted with the opposite. The staff here are excellent and offer a service worthy of a cafeteria. This is not really restaurant service. if you like Bangla music blaring in your ear during lunch/dinner then go to Tayyab. Lahore One is committed to its minimalism, but significant in its quality.

The food is oily and I discovered it's microwaved! You can see them do it when you're there. The glasses look and smell unclean. We thought it might be a one off and asked for replacement glasses and they were all the same. I think eating in at this restaurant is just a waste of time. It's quite unclean, the waiters are not very good (there's a bit of a language barrier!) and the food is average at best so that doesn't save it. Sorry but just don't bother.

i don?t know how this restaurant has good reveiws because the inside is unhygenic, cramped and dirty. the staff are not very friendly and they get really pissy when you ask questions. when we asked for the owner to get help with a bad item of food, he was aggressive and it was not a good lunch overall. i was with my husband and child. on top of that, they ask for cash only but you don?t know until you go inside. feels proper dodgy tbh how are they even open????????

Quite often I find refrigerated products that are months past their use-by date but still for sale. Gross!
