Lahori Mehak (Hounslow)

• Lahori Mehak (Hounslow) opened in the spring of 2014 and started out as a takeaway but is gradually morphing into a restaurant
• When we visited there were just four tables
• No alcohol is served here
• Tawa fish was a dish in which pieces of fish were marinated with ginger and garlic and shallow fried in batter
• Fried shrimps and spring rolls were simple but fine as well (12/20)
• Chicken tikka was tender and had absorbed its spicy marinade nicely (13/20)
• While a lamb kebab was a touch dry (11/20)
• Chicken biryani was the best of the main dishes tried
• Supple when in restaurants it is so often hard due to being left lying around for too long before serving (13/20)
• Aloo gobi could have been hotter when served (11/20) and a potato curry side dish seemed rather oily (11/20) but overall the cooking was of a good standard
• A realistic cost for a meal with soft drinks would be perhaps £
• This is very fair indeed for a quality of cooking that is well above most high street Indian restaurants
