    Latif, its wonderful to have a knowledgeable chef lke yourself, who knows what the dishes should taste like, and what is good cooking and what isn't, review these restaurants. Much more valuable than reading a random customer review in Tripadvisor. Zabeer is a good saleman and more importantly, a good manager, who will ensure that the customer gets what he/she paid for.

    What an amazing place! Many years ago I did some evening classes in Asian cooking. Our teacher was from Afghanistan and she showed us how to make Qabeli Pilau, Chapli Kebab, and Buloni with leek and potato. Our efforts obviously weren't anything close to what you had there though, which was next level! 🤤

    This is why London is so freaking amazing.. no other city in the UK has close to the sheer variety of cuisines that London does. You could probably eat out every night for a year and fjnd something new / different every single night in London.

      Northern food stands out because of its superior water quality, fresh produce, and a more personal touch. While London offers a wide variety of cuisines, the dining experience often feels rushed. Restaurants in London tend to prioritise turnover, making it more about quickly eating and leaving. In contrast, dining in the North is more relaxed and inviting. You’re encouraged to take your time, enjoy your meal, and even linger over a coffee afterward. Waiters engage with you, building a rapport that transforms the experience into something more than just eating, it’s about unwinding and truly enjoying your time.
      Latif Bai might not agree since he doesn't want to offend any owners. Clever man

    Good review - have to say though you need to go to Namak Mandi its smaller up the road, but the food is a class above Watan. Been to Watan several times - you have to pay extra for the fresh haandi curries and the other ones are not as tasty at all.
