Theres a place around the corner opposite the mosque, quite funky, cant remember the name though, helpfully.

The Black Bull nearby on Whitechapel Road was a decent pub, but sadly shut down just over a year ago.

There is a mini-market that sells a reasonable range of beers on the north side of Whitechapel Road just along from Whitechapel Station, walking towards the direction of Tayyabs.

There's a Tesco's on the right hand side of Whitechapel Road as you head into the city, about 2 minutes walk from Tayyabs.

You are aware of the queues there - non?

I went there a couple of weeks ago and ended up having to wait 45 minutes for a table!

You were lucky. It can be well over double that at popular times.

I happen to think it's a very short-term phenomena, and in 18 months time the place will be dead, or closed.

It's a good restaurant. But not the best I have been to. (It is also very good value, which is relevant to your 'Credit Crunch' comment). But I think it is the 'trendiness' which is making it popular. Give it another year and the trendy set will have found somewhere else to be seen to be, and Tayyabs will die a death.

A "short term phenomenon" thats been open and very busy for the last 35 years...

Why on earth would you think it'll be dead in 18 months time?? The place is a London institution.

yeah? Its one of the best Indians ive eaten at (and ive been taken around many of the 'highly regarded ones' in London and Bradford)..

and as you say, good value..

I cant see it going anywhere anytime soon.

Really? Has it really been around for 35 years? I thought it was a very dead east-end cafe about 2 years ago?

I certainly have only heard of it in the last two years or so, hence my cynicism.

If however, as you say, it has been around for 35 years then I'll agree - it being dead in 18 months seems pretty unlikely.

You want to try The Regency club over in Queensbury.
Not as cheap as Tayyabs but you won't be disappointed.

[sleep envy]

been there but prefer zanzibar in edgware and sheikhan in kingsbury which are on par with tayyabs IMO
