Tayyabs is a family owned Punjabi restaurant on Fieldgate Street in Whitechapel, founded in 1972 and still run with a strong connection to London’s East End. Its lively dining rooms are known for a bustling atmosphere and traditional food served from midday until late every day of the week.
The grill is central to the Tayyabs experience, led by the restaurant’s famous marinated lamb chops. Chicken tikka, mutton tikka, seekh kebabs, tandoori chicken, masala fish, paneer tikka and mixed grills provide a broad selection of smoky starters for sharing.
Karahi dishes form the heart of the main menu, with lamb, chicken, minced meat, prawns and fish cooked with spices in the traditional pan. Chef specialities include chicken saag, chicken tikka masala and lamb chop masala, while dhal, chickpeas, okra, spinach and mixed vegetables offer a substantial vegetarian selection.
Fresh naan, roti, paratha and pilau rice accompany the grills and curries, with mango lassi, kheer, rasmalai and kulfi available to finish. Diners may bring their own bottle, and the combination of eat in service, direct delivery and daily opening keeps the longstanding Fieldgate Street restaurant accessible for many kinds of visit.
