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 delicious 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 will only 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 and locals alike. Your name from roasts, pizzas, pasta, dumplings, curries, Paella, noodles etc. London has it all. There are more than 350 Michelin-starred restaurants in London.

If you are 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

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 worth more than what they ask for. Pindi Chole Channa can 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 it’s generous and made with a delicate combination of selected rich herbs and spices.

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, karahi chicken, and karahi 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.

Birthday Celebration Dinner Cruise on the Thames River

/////

We all gathered in London to celebrate my dad’s birthday celebration dinner cruise on the Thames River this July 2022. We heard a lot about it and wanted to celebrate this occasion on the Thames River cruise. It is a fantastic place to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries etc. I booked the tickets for 6 of us from Viator which was the London Dinner cruise on the Thames River. My wife and I travelled from Tallinn, Estonia and my mom, brother and his wife travelled from New Delhi, India.

It was a special occasion, as it is very rare that we are able to gather all in London after so long. Especially due to Covid restrictions lasting 2 years. It has been a rough time for friends and family to gather. So here we are at the Westminster Pier sharp by 6.30 pm. Even though our cruise will start by 7 pm. We wanted to make sure that we reach in time and in case of any issues with finding the cruise we have ample time to go to the right place.

Dinner Cruise Starting Point

We had to reach the departure point which was: Westminster Pier, Victoria Embankment, London SW1A 2JH, UK. See the map below.

At the entry which was the boarding point gate, we walked along and were greeted by the ticket checker. we had our London Dinner cruise on the Thames River in hand. Also, Viator sent us a mail where we can add the ticket to the Apple wallet as well.

We waited in the waiting area to post our ticket check. And we were called to get inside the cruise in like another 10 minutes or so. I was super excited to see the Thames River, Lastminute.com London Eye, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. We were asked to queue and we entered the cruise and were given a table for six next to the window. The fantastic view around, while the cruise was a little wobbly.

Finally, we reached the dessert and we got white, Dark And Milk Chocolate Truffle Cake (V) Served With A Raspberry Coulis. The dessert was too big for my wife, so we said we want only one. And my mother knowing diabetic, asked for tea for her instead.

14 Hills London, Fenchurch St

Dining at altitude is nothing new in the City of London, nor are restaurants aiming to appeal to a changing audience of diners and drinkers, better to appeal to a transient crowd of locals in search of kinship and tourists on the lookout for a new eyrie from which to enjoy the capital. That said, 14 Hills stands out. Here’s why: it sits directly below the new public garden atop 120 Fenchurch Street, a destination in its own right for which 14 Hills serves as the perfect accompaniment. Comprising a deli, bar and dining room, it offers food-to-go between 9-5 weekdays, lunch and dinner until 10.30 pm Monday to Saturday, with a bar that quietly rocks until the early hours. A spectacular spot for all those looking to celebrate in style, or simply gawp at London’s ever-changing skyline. Bill Prince 120 Fenchurch St, London EC3M 5BA. 14hills.co.uk

London Tourists Attractions and Restaurants are Opening – COVID-19

///

From 4th July London is opening its doors to tourists. Many see the move as caution. Many still think it’s the right move. We all need to make sure that we take all the right precautions while moving around within London or coming to London for holidays, tourism, and family meetings after more than 3 months of COVID-19 lockdown. London will never be the same, as some say. But we need to support our businesses and kick-start the tourism economy with caution.

London tourist Attractions Opened and opening up – 10th July 2020

London’s top attractions are allowed to open their gates to tourists from around the world and within the UK. Despite the new ruling, some of the attractions are still closed namely The British Museum, National History Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum and Science Museum.

The National Gallery opened on the 8th of July, the Tower of London on the 10th of July, and Tate Britain and Modern will open on the 27th of July. Each one of London’s attractions has to follow strict pandemic rules and make sure all the places are sanitised and every public entrant needs to be thermally tested before entering the premises.

Londoners are urged to become Tourists – Sadiq Khan

Londoners are urged by the government (Sadiq Khan) to become tourists in their own city to support COVID-19 recovery. The city has been massively hit by the pandemic. And everyone dreads a long painful recovery for local businesses. Experts are contemplating a slow tourism recovery, as many nations are still recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. European countries have somewhat recovered from the pandemic, but we all need to be cautious and start travelling responsibly. London locals are allowed to move around the city without any restrictions and are asked by the government to visit London’s beautiful sites.
