"Your average curry in Brick Lane these days is pretty poor. Generic dishes, overly fatty sauces etc. It all looks and tastes a bit 1970s. The world has moved on - but Brick Lane is now churning out bang average stuff that thoughtless tourists will buy to say they've eaten there. As people have said, you're better off heading to Gunpowder or somewhere like that. There are good places dotted about in the East End, just not generally on Brick Lane. Couple exceptions, of course."

"Brick Lane, like a lot of the UK is Bangladeshi food, not Indian. Get away from that tourist trap and get over to Gunpowder in Spitalfields. Class."

Gunpowder is only a short stroll away for something much nicer. On Brick Lane The Standard does what is says on the hoarding and is best of an average bunch

Brick Lane Brasserie. They claim the best lamb chops in Brick Lane and I've had them a few times and can confirm that is almost certainly true. Banging!

"You should try the Brick Lane Bagel place near the junction with Bethnal Green Road. It's gone down hill a little since the owners were murdered by their son, but still ok"

"I've eaten there a couple of times. Both were truly awful. Insipid and dull. If you can, go somewhere else, preferably somewhere that has South Asian people dining there."
