SHOLA

Shola is where Pakistani food dreams come true, and it’s serving them up spicy. Masuma couldn’t stop talking about the tender BBQ lamb shoulder that Aida whipped up just for her, which sounds like a proper culinary treat. Babar and Ayesha both agree this place hits the mark with its authentic flavors and cozy vibes. The bun kebabs and okra fries? Pure magic.

But don’t get too comfortable; Syd found the portion sizes lacking for the price, while Aakanksha was disappointed with her palak paneer bowl that came with more salad than substance. Still, when the food shines, it’s shining bright, making Shola a noteworthy contender in London’s food scene.
