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.

    • Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
