Lahori Nihaari is a Pakistani restaurant at 50 Plashet Grove in East Ham. Its casual dining room and broad menu are built around the hearty, richly spiced dishes associated with Lahore, making it a natural choice for family meals and group dining.
Nihari is the defining speciality, using slow cooking to develop a deep, savoury gravy around tender meat. Haleem and paya continue that traditional direction, while chicken karahi offers the brighter flavour of tomato, ginger, chilli and spices cooked together in the pan.
Seekh kebabs, lamb chops, chicken tikka and mixed grills bring char and smoke to the table. Rice dishes, chana, vegetable curries and freshly baked naan or kulcha make it easy to assemble a varied meal for sharing across several diners.
Traditional desserts such as kheer, jalebi and halwa provide a sweet finish after the restaurant’s robust savoury cooking. Lahori Nihaari is best approached with a group, allowing the slow cooked specialities, grills, breads and side dishes to be enjoyed together.
