Tayyabs (Whitechapel) Restaurant

A very well-known Pakistani food institution in Whitechapel for decades, famous for grilled lamb; the restaurant itself isn't directly listed among certified HMC restaurants, but multiple sources note it uses meat from HMC-certified suppliers — halal options are available with a documented meat source, without a certification for the restaurant itself; asking directly at time of visit is recommended.
