Serving traditional Punjab cuisine since 1972, Tayyabs is the home of the best tandoori lamb chop in Whitechapel. The lamb chop is sparingly spiced and cooked for a very short time in the tandoor so it becomes nicely charred from the outside and slightly pink near the bone. Served still sizzling from the grill, the chops are accompanied with yogurt and mint, mango and spicy tomato chutneys. An interesting side note: To promote the book “Meatspace” by Nikesh Shukla, filmmakers decided to launch the tandoori lamb chop from Tayyabs on a weather balloon from Upper Slaughter, Cotswolds, in June 2014. When the camera pod was found four months later, the story went viral and won the filmmakers a spot for their photograph on Tayyabs “Hall Of Fame,” right next to The Ramones.
