A heaving Whitechapel classic, Tayyabs has been a fave since its inception in 1972 – ask any restaurant-loving Londoner if they’ve been and their answer will be, “of course!” Among its many claims to fame are the lamb chops – they’re a contender for the capital’s best – and its BYOB policy (all week, with no corkage fee). The food menu is decently wallet-friendly too, making it great for massive group dinner.
