Where can you get any of these foods, fresh and within central London?

Anyone? I WANT halwa purri ![]()
Re: Urge for Siri Pai, Nihari, and Halwa Purri
I don't know any good places in Central London Gaia but you can get all of those in East London. I always find East London depressing for some reason but the food is always top notch in most Desi places there :) Try Ilford Lane.
Re: Urge for Siri Pai, Nihari, and Halwa Purri
I was going to write about all the great places here in Lahore before I realised you asked for London. Now I haven't had any of these particular dishes in London but Southall was usually good enough for my desi food needs.
Re: Urge for Siri Pai, Nihari, and Halwa Purri
Thank you both!! I'm going try out some places in East London and will also do some research on Southall.

Tooting, SW London - Dawat Restaurant for early morning halwa puri! Their nihari is not good. You can have good nihari and paya at Spice Village in Tooting.
Re: Urge for Siri Pai, Nihari, and Halwa Purri
Dude Dawat sucks. Its a pathetic excuse for a Desi restaurant.
Re: Urge for Siri Pai, Nihari, and Halwa Purri
Yes I can cook far better than them!
Re: Urge for Siri Pai, Nihari, and Halwa Purri
Haha I don’t doubt that! :k:
