Tayyab's
London, United Kingdom
Traditional English food can be great when done right, but it can also get a bit boring after a while. Spice up your trip to the Isles with a stop at Tayyab's. Family owned and operated since its opening in 1972, this Whitechapel spot was originally a complex of four eateries that have since been combined into one sophisticated space offering fantastic Punjabi cuisine. Highlights include the wonderfully spicy dry meat, lamb chops, and naan flatbread; also worthy of note is the fact that the place is unlicensed and doesn't charge a corkage fee, meaning you can enjoy a far better bottle of wine for far less money than if you had to order it off a house wine list.
