Square Meal review of Tayyabs: ? Write your review

A high-quality, fast-turnaround eatery, Tayyabs is a nice change from the nearby Brick Lane curry houses & their tiresome touts. Queues form outside for the powerfully spiced sizzling grilled meats from the tandoor – chicken tikka, seekh kebab & the legendary deep-marinated lamb chops. Traditional Punjabi mains of dry-meat curries served in a karahi (small wok) receive praise too, & rather than rice, opt for a buttery naan or big freshly made roti from the open kitchen. The big portions are ‘cheap as chips’ & ‘always hit the spot’ & costs are further cut by the BYO policy. Service from rushed-off-their-feet waiters is hyper-efficient, most diners understanding that this isn’t a place for lingering, & thus not taking offence at the swift table-turning.

I was not impressed with the way in which you had to place your order, I would have preferred to have sat down, had a flick through the menu then ordered etc. Well to my surprise you had to queue, order, pay and finally eat. The food was on view. Had to keep askin what's in this etc (not labelled so not good for vegetarians). All food ordered was then brought to the table. By the way if you wanted to order more or even dessert you had to QUEUE again. Have to admit though the food was satisfactory.
Would I go again? hmmm only if wasn't so hungry.
