5 /5 Valentin Fogoros: Javed’s place is a real hidden gem. It’s the only proper Pakistani spot I’ve come across all the way up until South London, and you won’t even find one in Brighton. From the outside it doesn’t look like the fanciest restaurant, but the food is something else.
I’ve had lamb biryani there, I’ve had lamb with spinach, and both were absolutely delicious. He makes this green sauce that’s just incredible, and the bread is sweet and fresh. Everything is seasoned perfectly, always filling, and I’ve never once felt heavy or unwell afterwards.
On top of that, Javed is such a friendly and welcoming guy. You can tell he really cares about the food he serves. The prices are very fair for the quality, and the whole experience is just a delight. I’ll honestly miss this place a lot.
