Had my lunch there today. Probably the best curry I've had. Without sounding poncy about it, the layers of flavours in the dishes just kept on coming. I've never reacted to food the way I did when I spooned some of the spinach dish into my fat face. "Oh wow.....mmmmm jesus... ah, mmmmm, christ thats unbelievable.... etc"
Between 2 of us we had 2 meat dishes and 2 veg dishes. Popadums, pickles rice and bread. £25. Almost beyond belief for the the quality of the food.
If you've not been go to this restaurant as soon as you can.

FAVOUR NEEDED PLEASE!!
Can anyone remember the name/exact location of the pub just behind the Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel (pub was in a street parallel to the High Street) which Urbanites assembled in prior to Sunray's farewell curry gathering a few months ago (the curry was in that very crowded/popular curry place in Fieldgate Street) ???

OK thanks for the narrowing down ... but I cant recall which street it was in so that's a hindrance too ...
ETA next day ... we're doing the Black Bull, 199 Whitechapel Rpad now, it's very near the tube and apparantly has 4 Nethergate ales, well remembered from Strawberry Fair last year.
It's also 2004's East London CAMRA pub of the year ...

Re: Bengal Clipper
I hope not or else I'm going blind.. I work right opposite on Curlew St and I've not noticed. I've thoroughly enjoyed it when I've been in and my boss who lives round the corner subsists on a mixture of food parcels from his Indian mother-in-law and Clipper takeaways, if that's any recommendation
I think the Sri Krisha was better in the early 90s. I last went there a couple of years ago and it while good, it wasn't the amazing taste experience I'd enjoyed previously. Maybe I should pop down again though. I think they own the pub next door too...
Motion seconded.

I haven't been to the Lahore for a good few years, some friends took me there and it was brilliant! So cheap and the food was good. I loved the way it was so basic cafe style with the wash hand basin in the dining area! I think it might have been refurbished since then.
As others have said, Jai Krishna in Stroud Green is good as is Ravi Shanker (sp?) in Drummond Street.

Depa Tandoori on Leigh Street WC1 is my fave. The curry is great, obviously, the ambience pleasant and the service excellent. There are others a little cheaper in the area (Russel Square/King's Cross) but this is the best. It's the main thing I'll miss in the area when I move in a couple of months.

One more...
Cafe Spice Namaste on Prescott Street E1, in an old courthouse. All fairly unique dishes - I think the style is termed "Pan Asian". They obviously think they're doing something right as they sell their own cookbooks too. Upmarket. Funky coloured high roomed place. Downside is proximity to city (i.e. suits / a bit formal)
There's a branch in Battersea too now - probably more relaxed than the original.

Very belatedly caught up with this ... ooops ..
YES, went there last Thursday prior to the Zion Train gig, the place was superb, highly recommended with some fine veggie choices as well as meat ones. And very reasonably priced.
I had an okra curry with some mushroom rice, behind the more powerful than expected hotness !!!
lay some very subtle and variegated spices and flavours ...And you can buy bottled Cobras from the offy just across Commercial Road.
Kept some of the curry to eat at home the next evening. Finish off yer curry while staying indoors on a Friday, it's traditional for St Patricks night innit

Going tonight - couldn't hold out until the weekend. Those who say curry is addictive are right!

I had lamb.They must cook it for about a week it’s so tender and flavoursome.
Also for a very good and very cheap curry don’t forget the Indian YMCA. It’s in Fitzroy Square just off Tottenham Court Road. Canteen self service set up. It’s open from about 12 -2.30pm lunch and about 6-8PM for dinner. No alcohol allowed.

Another vote for Mirch Masala been to both Tooting and Commercial Road and never had a duff meal. Masala Zone used to be good but have had a couple of dodgy dishes there recently (cheap chicken being used). Tayaab's pretty good for the tandoor dishes (lamb chops, tandoori chicken, breads), although their curries are not as good. Cafe Spice Namaste is losing it's way these days with complacency in the kitchen. Brick Lane is riddled with problems these days and is very hard to recommend an restaurant there.
For Vegetarian, good dosas both the Ravi Shankar and the other big one on Drummond Street, Camden are pretty good.
A new restauarant Imli in Wardour street is pretty good more Tapas style with small dishes but they were pretty consistent and the restaurant is quite trendy.
I would also recommend Masaladar on Tooting High Street, very good deals on delivery too, their food is much the same as the Bombay Bicycle club but half the price.

Is the Mirch Masaleh (note the different spelling) opposite Tulse Hill train station the same chain as the Mirch Masala that everyone goes on about?
