I was thinking the same on another thread.


Anyway... none of them a great on Brick Lane, but Aladins is consistently OK.


Tayyabs is good but the queueing is ridiculous. Try Needoo grill round the corner for similar food without queues.

Along with an unexpected interest in finance and claiming Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance as the last book he'd read.


I agree with Jeremy re Tayyabs, it is very good but hardly a relaxing experience, even when the queueing is over and your finally inside. Better to leave a visit to the weekend in my experience.

I worked near Brick Lane 35 years ago ..


There were only 2 Indian Rests. back then and a handful of Indian / Bangladehi cafes.


There was Clifton and another next door whose name I cannot remember but Salmon Rushdie used to go there.


The Clifton back then consisted of long tables and benches.. Bit like a Pie & Mash shop.


12" Chappatti 5p


Steamed Rice 10p


Lamb Bhuna 40p


Chicken on the bone curry 60p


Chillies and onion salad FREE.

    • Europe, very much so, the whole of August is a write-off, if you want anything delivered from there, forget it, but there's no similar summer shutdown period in the UK as such, just people taking hols while kids off school etc. The nearest the UK construction sector has to a proper shut down is the Christmas/New Year period when, depending on when the Bank Holidays fall, there's an approx 10-14 day unofficial shutdown between Christmas and New Year... 
    • There's planning permission for 2 houses.  Southwark planning site is too slow today to use, but found this link from Savills to auction the site: https://auctions.savills.co.uk/auctions/19--26-november-2024-158/3335-hansler-road-east-dulwich-london-se22-9dj-13236   Edited to add that the inclusion of lower ground floor in the planning application description indicates that basements will be dug.  Looks like Fellbrigg/Hansler is up for some heavy construction traffic next year.
    • He looks like the human version of the 😡 emoji. I'm sure he's lovely in real life (whoever he is).
    • Absolutely, Insuflo I very much doubt that anyone other than football fans would have heard of Dyche, much less his views on false number nines, mobile centre halves  dropping into midfield or diamond formations. But all middle-aged, portly, bald, gruffly spoken football fans from north of the capital who eschew fancy Dan tactics for the traditional, English merits of 4-4-2 shall be deemed knuckle-dragging Neanderthals by the Wokerati and the Metropolitan Elite. They care not what his views are, only that he looks like the sort of person who may have them. It's political correctness gone mad. But they, unlike Dyche, won't have a pub named after them.
