Good curry houses on Brick Lane

I couldn't eat somewhere that sounds like a sit-com...

Na. I think they just dislike western looking people. My friend Abdul from the mosque told me this. I dont belive its anything personal.

You sure it wasn't your mate Mohammed?

Check this place out. I work with a South African guy from Durban of Indian descent. He says the currys in this place are very like what his mum makes at home and are fantastic.

I'd love to try that bunny thing.

i just felt really uncomfortable, like they couldn't serve us and kick us out quick enough.

I had exactly that same experience at Tayyabs! And am never going to set foot in that place again, they were so rude. They handed us the menus whilst we still had our coats on when we arrived, and then noisily cleared up all our plates when we still hadn't finished.

Dreadful!

Sweet n spicy on brick lane (despite its name) is the most authentic one ive found outside india. Proper eat with your hand, metal jugs of tepid tap water on the table etc. Bones in ya food n all. Just like the real thing. Including the no-booze policy, which is a downside, but yeh most restaurants in india are dry.

Yeah there is a place like that in East Ham, with the metal jugs and metal trays etc, and kick-arse masala dosas just like in india for around 2 quid. It's basically a grubby cafe so not the sort of place to go on, say, a date, but it's a good lunch

Reviving this thread seven years on - has anyone got any recommendations for curries on Brick Lane?

I work nearby and have to book a team Christmas meal for 7/8 people so need good restaurant with broad ranging menu so that everyones happy- I have been recommended Monsoon, Standard, Pappadoms and Cinnamon but they all look fairly similar when I walk by - any opinions? Others?

Moon Light is by far the best I've been to there the last cpl of years, I've been a few times, not the best looking place, it's small, but I've always had a right good curry there.

If you prefer Thai - Rosa's is bang on the money, one of my fav places.
