Shalamar Kebab House - Tower Hamlets

Only dipped here to get out of the rain to be honest. To start with the guy behind the counter was extremely short with us while we were deciding what to get. Only two of three of us were getting food and he really seemed to have a problem with that. We sat down and the kebabs came out. No garlic sauce, no chilli sauce. Instead, a massive glob of cheap mayo on top staring up at me. A sad indicator of what was to come. If I was to use three words to describe the chicken it would be these. Dry, bland and grisly. I came across not less than three bones. The whole thing was thoroughly undersauced, the salad was limp. If you make one decision in your entire life, make it avoiding this absolute failure of a restaurant.

I visited this restaurant when I first moved to Whitechapel. It reminded me of a cheaper version of Dixie's with similar colors but a different name. They offer curries, kebabs, and fried chicken. Unfortunately, I was not impressed with anything I tried. The hygiene standards were very low and the chicken I ordered was soggy and pale instead of crispy and golden brown. I will not be returning to this establishment. The staff seemed indifferent towards customers, which was evident from their attitude.

Im partial to a kebab but this place serves the best and most generous servings of a delicious kebab in London hands down! Have not tried their curries but people seem to love their food with a mix of people eating fast food and curries.

For a quick grab and tasty food, one must visit this hidden gem. The puri is one to go for with any curry. Tarka daal was exquisite. Great value for money and a quick service. Experienced catering staff.

I've actually lost count to as how many times I've ate here lol.my husband took me here,on my first visit and since then we always go when we are near.food is very nice.if I would say anything more,it would be to ask the owner to think about the decor as its really old,and not nice to seat and eat in.would differently get more popular if the place looked more better.but still would recommend for food and price.
