Just about sums it up, I hope you didn’t have to sit next to the toilets, and hopefully you didn’t see any of the unhygeinic things going on. Obviously the excellent tasting food, BYOB and reasonable prices that keeps the popularity.

Excellent place. The food is delicious, interesting and somehow weird. However, the recipes are from a completely different culture and the dishes tend to contain a lot of meat and steamed vegetables. Which is great, as I am always open to new experiences.

Wow! By 12:15pm on a Sunday this place was packed. Once we were seated and ordered, the food came out fast. We were in and out of this place within an hour.
We tried a variety of dishes and everything was really flavorful and tender. The only complaint we had was one of the samosas we ordered was a bit cold. The chicken tikka was oozing with smokey flavor and the sauce for it was very different than what we have tried at other restaurants in London.
Samosa
Our homemade pastry triangles either contain lamb, or vegetables, each is spiced with green chilli whilst mixed with potato and onions "
Chicken Biriyani
"Chicken marinated in ginger, Tayyab’s spices, chilli and onion, and mixed into rice."
Karahi Chicken Tikka Masala
"Marinated Chicken Tikka, karahi masala, coriander, chopped tomato, sliced onions and chillis."
Karahi Tarka Dhal
"Originally from North India, and spiced with turmeric, garlic and, green chillis, this lentil dish is perfect for those looking for pure flavours."
Garlic Nan
"If garlic is your spice of choice this is not to be missed. Mixing garlic spices into our dough and served draped in butter for a rich and soft flavour."

This was the worst restaurant i've been to in my intire life. The food was below average. The waiters were very rude, non attentive and did not bring the food we asked for.
I would NEVER recommend going here unless you want fast food in a cattle market atomosphere.

Good tasty but not over spiced Punjabi Indian food at resonable prices especially if you do BYOB. The lamb curry and puri were very good if not the best I have ever tasted. A well known place in Whitechapel and a real alternative to Bangladeshi cuisine style in nearby Brick Lane, with a colourful decor upstaire and downstairs, it is always busy and yet you don't usually need to book though you're likely to be packed in close to your neighbouring tables; quite OK for the sociable.
BUT - I have been there twice and this time the service was particularly abysmal. They hurry you up all the way through, despite the space they have and income they must be raking in, the waiters don't know much about the dishes they serve ("well it's just a lamb curry") and you have to help youself to glasses etc when you feel you have bothered them enough already. Worst of all the bill included a service charge but they still asked whether we really wanted the change!

Great food and authentic, however customer service could be better. Staff are not so attentive but the food made up for it. Good value as well.

Probably the most famous fast food restauraunt in the area. In my opinion too busy. Good fast sizzling food, no doubt about it but a little impersonal and you always get the feeling they are in a rush to get you out so they can move on to the next punter.

While good curry isn't hard to come by in London, this place exceeds all expectations. The chickpea is incredible, as are the lamb chops. Naans are amazing as well. Absolutely will be returning. Definitely call to make a reservation as it's always rammed here.

Great tasting lamb chops, keema nan and kebabs which is reasonably priced. Only issue is that it is cramped and the service is poor due to being rushed to eat quickly so that they can serve other punters waiting.

Tayyabs is a quick-eat, casual Pakistani restaurant and can be found a stones throw from the Royal London hospital in Whitechapel (near Shoreditch, worth venturing to).Prepare to queue unless you go at odd hours eg 5pm or earlier and fill your boots with some of the best and freshest Pakistani food in London at v. reasonable prices. Once in, order hot,buttery,fluffy naans, anything from the sizzling grill (Tandoori chicken and lamb chops are a must for carnivores), daal begum (spicy mini aubergines and daal) and spicy keema are the highlights. The hot sauce with the poppadums should be marketed on its own, its that good. PS BYO alcohol or slurp on mango lassis and they have a takeaway service for your other half. (Monikasays.com)

What a great place!!!! I always enjoy going there! You can bring your own drinks, since they have no licence to serve alcoholic drinks. If you don’t book a table you end up queuing for at least an hour while chatting with your friends and enjoying a glass of wine.. Definetly a must-go!!!

Was in the area and decided to try Tayyabs tonight with my boyfriend after reading all the good reviews online. We got a bottle of wine for the BYOB policy. We arrived at 7pm and were sent to queue as we hadn’t booked a table and it was already pretty busy. We waited for about 20 min. People in the queue seemed quite happy to wait so we decided to stick with it. When we finally got to seat the whole experience was definitely worthwhile. Despite the occasional ‘sharpness’ of the waiting staff, the food arrived quickly and everything tasted fantastic. The chicken tandoori starter was moist and flavorsome, the tikka paneer was extra tasty. My highlight has to be the dish of the day (they change depending on the day of the week) we had the Karahi Prawn and it was cooked with fresh tomatoes. The mango lassi we ended up sharing (it was quite big) was delicious. I think the house speciality are lamb dishes but not being too much into lamb we didn’t try them. Still we agreed that what we ordered was probably one of the best curries we’ve had in a long time. The bustly atmosphere was fun and the bill came to a very respectable amount which was a great way to end our meal. On our way out I have to say the air was getting a bit spicy and a little hard to breathe and the queue a lot busier but I’m pretty confident we will be back for sure (with a reservation!) and recommend.

Service is a bit choppy sometimes but I would rate it in the top 10 places in Tower Hamlets.
If you have reserved and turned up on time, you should be seated straight away. I would make a fuss if I wasn’t!

It was a year ago we went there with friends visiting London who were adamant they wanted to go on a busy sat night. We waited over 3hrs, yes 3hrs to get in the door! It was obvious that if you openly bride the staff, or speak Urdu, you move up the queue quicker!
Once in, the food was ok, but not outstanding. Very noisy with tables & chairs jammed in every corner. Staff rude & orders forgotten. They brought meals we hadnt asked for & tried charging us for them.Maybe on a quieter time, the food & ambience is better, but I’m not in a hurry to return.
