So good I had to write a review.... - I have been here a great many times and on every occasion it never seems to disappoint. Located in the heart of the east end..to be more specific Whitechapel, the vibe is just that - east (y); edgy ; loud ; busy ; and has all the markings of popularity. Celebrating my dad's 62 n'd birthday, a man who's taste buds are particularly fussy when it comes to Indian was unusually happy after his dining experience. :) Dinner included kebabs, chicken tikka, lamb chops, karahi gosh and karahi prawns, with naan. Washed down with a bottle of ultra cold coke, our meal was worth the hour long drive. Here I am 10 lbs heavier, feeling compelled to write this down, and offer you (the reader)a few words of advice.
- book a table in advance
- be nice to the waiters
- order the lamb chops
Admittedly, my review may have been swayed by the particularly good looking waiter.

Best curry I have ever tasted - This place is fantastic, we went as a large group and the staff were very accommodating. I couldn't believe what good value it was too (helped by the BYOB factor). I have tried to go a couple of times since, but it is always packed to the rafters.

The tap water was free... - ...and that Lizzie M. person bagged the entire text of what I was going say. Travesty ;(

Eat on the cheap - I love Tayyabs. The lamb chops are delicious, worth the trip out east alone, but on my last visit we tried the Tindi Masala, pumpkin curry. The pumpkin pieces were juicy and bursting with flavour, with just a hint of sweetness. I've been thinking about it ever since.
The rather unappetisingly named 'dry meat' is anything but - amazingly tender pieces of lamb cooked down to a gorgeously rich and unctuous dish.
This is also the first time I've tried their desserts. The pistachio kulfi was a lovely palate cleanser, and pistachio milk lollies were a favourite.

Curry Favour-ite - Tayyabs is simply the best food of its kind anywhere (except maybe Lahore which I think is equally good). Kind being Pakistani, though it works for anyone that loves Indian or Bangladeshi. In any case, this place is damn good. You should probably make a reservation right now without bothering to read on. But before you go, heed these three simple tips:
1. Order the mixed kebab to start and err on the side of extra lamb cutlets.
2. Order a range of the dry meats: lamb, chicken, fish ought a do it.
3. It’s BYO so go to Utobeer or The City Beverage Co before hand and get some ‘real’ IPA’s to go with your meal.

Amazing lamb chops! - Those grilled lamb chops make the long waits worth it! It's always buzzing, even on a midweek night at 9pm, we had to wait at least half an hour even though we 'made reservations'.
The mango lassi was sublime, and everything else we ordered was very, very good.
Go when you aren't in a hurry and remember to BYOB.

Makes me lick my plate - I have nothing else but praise for this place - on my knees, licking the plate - my own plate and then all other plates left on the tables next to mine.
All is just perfect and if not for the limited capacity of my stomache I would be ordering lamb chops, seesh kebabs and mango lassi endlessly,
And probably wouldn't even spend more than on any standard nigt out in some posh indian restaurants who dare to call themselves restaurants. After visiting Tayyab whenever I pass a place with 'the best indian food' on the door I only say - yeah, right and swallow saliva in rememberance of the gorgeous treats I had there...
Evenings - busy, we were queuing for 1 hour swearing and moaning and getting angry out of atavistic hunger, rediscovering a wild animal inside, a prehistoric beasts with fur on their back.
Sunday Lunch - surprisingly much more relaxed, no-one with killer-gaze at us, waiting for us to leave the table; which was great cause I couldn't move for a while after I had only a tiny bit of this universe of flavour.
I saw stars and indian belly dancers around me. Genuine Gastro-High.
* Highlights: Saag Gosht( succulent beef in spinach paste)
* Mango lassi - not too sweet as it often happens
* Lamb Chops - lean (the sheep must have been fit and active), soft and juicy
*BYO alco:)

Book! - I don't have much to add - great food, bustling atmosphere, bargain prices. I went for dinner last week (my friend lives right next door) but since talking to other friends they've said how you always have to queue for ages.
My tip is book! I don't think you used to be able to, but if you don't then whatever night of the week it is you'll have to queue (possibly outta the door).
Also, don't expect it to be a leisurely affair. You get in, eat and leave your table to the hounds nibbling at your table.

Attention Curry Lovers! AMAZING! - Just experienced Tayyab's last night and it was one of the best currys i've ever had and at such a reasonable cost. First off, it's BYOB so don't forget to bring some with you. Second of all, try to get a reservation as the waiting line was about 50 people and continued to be a steady pace the entire evening. It's well worth the wait as the food is fresh, not greasy, and quick. Try the mixed grill starters for sure! I can't wait to go back!

Cheapest and Tastiest - This place is legendary and on a Saturday night the queue for a table snakes around the restaurant, but don't be put off the wait is worth it. And no matter how long the queue you'll be seated quickly.
The staff are always really friendly and welcoming and the food is a great example of Pakistani food. In fact I spent about a month living off the chicken tikka and karahi chicken. I live nowhere near there anymore but its worth the journey across town.
And where else can two people stuff themselves with great food for under £15.

How to curry favour with your pals - This place is amazing. Food is fresh and alive with flavour. Ask them if the poppadoms are free- go on I dares ya.

It's fantastic - do not miss - This you must not miss. Book if you do not want to queue. The food is amazingly good ad cheap. You can take your own drink ( there is a Tesco just 5 mins from the restaurant)- Service is quick and you are in and out really quickly - not a place to go if you want to languish over a meal - if you want top food it mustn't be missed.
Give the masala fish a try!!!
