Khana Khazana East Ham

I had lunch today at Khana Khazana, Upton Park, and it was an excellent experience! The restaurant was very clean, and the food was absolutely delicious. The lamb curry and butter chicken were top class. The butter naan and garlic naan were soft and tasty, and the mango lassi was refreshing. The poppadoms were delicious as well. Highly recommended — one of the best places for authentic Indian/Pakistan/Bangladesh food in Upton Park!

Been here a couple of times. Always full. The last time I went, we ordered at the till where the owner I assume was teaching her kid how to handle the till. A young boy who was trying hard but did slow down in a sense. Food came prompt and even though they got a dish wrong we said nothing. We got chicken tikka biryani which was nice. Achari chicken which was delicious. Chana daal which was okay but had too much herbs in it. And we got vegetable curry which was also ok. Poppadum’s were crispy but left a slight weird after taste. Garlic nana was also good as most are. We managed to share between three people and still had leftovers to take. Overall the food and place is not bad but the waiters do purposely have tunnel vision and tend to forget if you ask for anything like salt or tissues. Thats the reason for a lower rating. Toilets were ok and clean but slightly cramped but not a big issue.

The food is incredible, particularly the Lamb Bhaditarka. I have nothing to fault with the food. I do however have an issue with not being able to get a glass of tap water, which is legally obligated under the licencing law. This certainly put a dampener on what is a decent restaurant. The restaurant needs to be reminded that under their licensing agreement, they have to serve free water upon the request of a customer.
