Anthony Bourdain called the Club a ‘must visit when in London’ in his hit Netflix travel show, The Layover. The Club recently ‘stole the show’ on 2022’s The Apprentice, when the winning team were treated to an unforgettable cabaret chosen by Lord Alan Sugar himself. The Phoenix Arts Club was voted ‘London’s Most-Loved Late Night Venue’ by Time Out, ‘London’s Best Secret Bars’ list by Harper’s Bazaar and ‘London’s Best Bars for a touch of Theatrics’ by The Handbook. Secret London said The Phoenix Arts Club’s “artistic programme is one of the most diverse in London and aims to bring the best new and emerging artists to the West End.”

Secreted away down the same little side street used in the opening sequence of Harry Potter and tucked beneath The Phoenix Theatre lies our charming escape from the London norm. Our lively and nostalgic theatre bar & Restaurant is located in the original dressing and rehearsal rooms of The Phoenix Theatre where Laurence Olivier made his debut on stage in the 1930s in “Private Lives” with Noel Coward and Gertrude Lawrence.

Lahore One Serves the best Pindi Chole Channa in Town

//

It may sound hard to believe. But Lahore One Serves the best Pindi Chole Channa in Town. If you are a food lover you are up for a treat. You have to check this place out for its scrumptious Pindi Chole Channa a chickpea dish made with Indian/Pakistani herbs and spices.

Are you a foodie? Trust me when it comes to good food, London has so many good places to visit. And if you like Asian food, especially Indian and Pakistani. Your taste buds only going to savour the delicacies London city has to offer.

London Food Scene

London has a fabulous mix of cultures. And the London Food scene is a must-try for tourists as well as locals alike. You name from roasts, pizzas, pasta, dumplings, curries, Paella, noodles etc. London has it all. While there are more than 350 plus Michelin-star restaurants in London.

If you are really looking for the best of the best Michelin-star restaurants will have you covered while you are in London be it breakfast, lunch, tea time or dinner. London has more than 30 Indian cuisine Michelin star restaurants. As we are on the topic of talking Indian/Pakistani cuisine in London Lahore one may not be that posh, or will have the greatest of the services. But what makes Lahore one at a commercial road stand out is the quality of the food and the famous Pindi Chole Channa.

Pindi Chole Channa and Lamb Kebabs
Pindi Chole Channa and Lamb Kebabs

Lahore One Restaurant

I have been to Lahore One Restaurant many times when I lived in London and whenever I visited London. Lahore One serves the best Pindi Chloe Channa and Methi Chicken in town without a shadow of a doubt. The dishes prepared by them have been unchanged ever since they started operating in London 37 years ago.

Lahore One is always the place I would surely go for lunch at least once when I am in London. The restaurant itself is not very big and not very fancy. All it offers is genuine good food. Not all dishes served are groundbreaking either. Sometimes the service may also be average. But all you have to consider is that the food made and served here is made with love and some dishes are really worth more than what they ask for. Pindi Chole channa can really give Michelin-star Indian hotels there a run for their money. The best part is that the food prepared in Lahore One is not made with tonnes of spices its generous and made with a delicate combination of selected rich herbs and spices.

Lahore One Restaurant commercial Road London

Lahore One Restaurant Menu

The menu of Lahore One restaurant is pretty generous and focuses on Charcoal Tandoor dishes. They have various other good dishes as well like seek kebabs, lamb tikka, karahai chicken, karahai gosht to name some of the mouth-watering dishes they make. They have delicious Indian kheer as well which is made of rice and milk.

To check the detailed Lahore One restaurant menu you check it here.

What makes Pindi Chole Channa so tasty?

The pindi Chole or Channa are made every day at Lahore one restaurant. Pindi Chole or Channa are made of Chickpeas cooked with Indian herbs and spices. And garnished with fresh ginger and coriander leaves. The Channa is cooked so well that when you bite on them they simply melt in your mouth. You must try them with Roti (Indian bread) or with Garlic Naan.

You can also have the pindi chole channa with chicken tikka or lamb tikka roll. Simply add delicious flavour to the rolls. Wanted to highlight that Pindi Chole channa is not for people who are cautious about ghee and butter. Because the Pindi Chole channa are almost fried in desi ghee butter to give that intense delicious flavour.

I would suggest you order Pindi Chole Channa with Roti/Garlic Naan and Methi Chicken Karahai. For starters, you can have lip-smacking lamb kebabs too. The combination of Pindi chole channa with mint raitha they serve with onion and lettuce salad is heavenly.
