Shalamar Kebab House is a longstanding Pakistani restaurant at 95 New Road in Whitechapel. The simple counter and dining tables keep attention on freshly cooked food, generous portions and accessible prices rather than elaborate surroundings. It welcomes local regulars, hospital visitors and diners travelling through East London for an informal lunch, dinner or takeaway.
Seekh kebabs, lamb kebab rolls and chicken tikka bring smoky grilled flavour to the centre of the menu. Meat can be wrapped in fresh roti or naan with salad and the house red sauce for a quick, satisfying meal. Samosas, onion bhaji and other crisp snacks add easy starters or smaller choices alongside the larger plates.
Curries cover chicken, lamb, goat, minced meat, potato, spinach and chickpeas, with recipes changing the balance of chilli, tomato, onion and aromatic spice. Chicken karahi and traditional chicken curry provide particularly popular choices, while daal offers a comforting lentil dish. Biryani combines seasoned rice with meat or vegetables for a complete plate in one order.
Garlic naan, plain naan, roti, paratha, rice and salad make it easy to build a shared meal from several curries and grilled dishes. Vegetarian and vegan options include chickpea, lentil and vegetable preparations, and the meat served is halal. Long daily opening hours and an unpretentious atmosphere reinforce Shalamar’s role as a reliable Whitechapel neighbourhood restaurant.
