"Over the last six months, I've been eating here every single week, especially after prayer time in East London Masjid, and every time I went in, I had this strange feeling of being in East London before, and one day it just hit me like bang. I remember my dad used to take me there when I was probably like five or six years old, back in the days when East London was totally different. The old shops down Fashion Street, shopping with my dad, and then I remember he used to take me there for a kebab roll, and those memories just came flying back. First and foremost, I always tell my friends and family before I take them there, don't be put off by the appearance. It may look like a cafe out of the 1970s, but honestly the theme is needed. Even the menus, the boards, showing the prices, they look like it was put up there before I was born. But once again, this rustic theme is needed to preserve the traditional look and feel of this place. My favourite go-to dish, as always, is the kebab roll, with that beautiful green mint sauce. This is a place where people don't sit there for a long meal. It's a quick go-in order, the food comes super quick, within minutes you eat, and then you continue on your journey, going to wherever you were going to. The food is very affordable, not like inflated like the other places around the area. A kebab roll is £3.50, and there's plenty of tap water in jugs which are changed regularly. Once again, the place may look outdated, but it is very clean. The two brothers that work there, they have been there since day one. One thing that really brings a smile to my face is the friendship that they have between them, even though they're busy and they're colleagues, they're always quite cheerful with each other and the customers. And they don't have any silly policy of minimum spend by card. If you eat a kebab roll, just pay with card, no problem. I'm a victim of habit, I always stick to what I eat all the time. Whenever I take my younger son there, he loves the chicken curry and rice. He says it reminds him of Dadhi's house, chicken curry. It's a place where I often go and spend time on my own there, just reliving those moments from the past. Amazing."

The chicken tikka roll was quite ok, slightly spicy at the end, not many vegetables but great in taste.

Asked for fresh food and they proceeded to open up a microwave and tried to reheat (who knows how many days old) halwa. Cutlery was dirty.

Awful if you're rating this, it's clear you've not known authentic *Pakistani* food your whole life. The standard of food is actually embarrassing.. and this place has apparently been around for 30 years?! Sweet palak..greasy samoseh. Embarrassing. Give this a miss.

I love coming here as the food is awesome and so well priced. I’ve been eating here since I was a child (at least 34 years) and it’s always been fantastic and I’m so happy that the cafe is still running. My father grew up in Pakistan and comes here whenever he’s in Whitechapel! I’m going back tonight!
