We will be in touch
Go on then let me have your recommendations, meeting the missus and friends near there and it would be rude not to!
Ta
Keep heading south for a few minutes and go to The Empress on Leman Street. http://www.theempress.co.uk/
Always used to like Muhib (I think), but that was years ago.
Sweet and Spicy, on the corner of Chicksand St and BL. Tatty, formica tables, very basic, but great food, and fantastic value for money. More a cafe than a restaurant, but it's the best place to go, if you just want to sit and eat, without waiters fawning all over you, and paying over the odds for mediocre food, which is what you'll find in some of the other places. Very tasty, and pretty bloody cheap, considering what else is around. Proper curry; no poncing about.
The Clifton, right at the end of Osborne St, has a good reputation, but I've never eaten there. You'd probbly want a reservation.
As you would at [url= http://www.tayyabs.co.uk/ ]Tayyabs[/url]. A couple of minutes walk from BL, behind the East London Mosque, on Fieldgate St. My personal fave, for a nice sit down evening meal. Been there for decades, and offers some of the best food you'll get in the East End. Cheaper than Brick Lane places, and better. You would be best off booking ahead, as it's very, very popular, and you'll have to queue otherwise, probbly.
The two best places, imo/ime. Simple as that.
In RudeBoy you can trust.
Enjoy!
is that Tayyabs place between Spittlefields and the hospital?
if it is then I'll second that
Cheers guys, its not till thursday I'm salivating already!
our local curry house has just been credit crunched 🙁
thank god Leicester is just up the road, otherwise i'd be looking at moving.
Not Brick Lane, but very near to it....Herb & Spice - 11 Whites Row.
Most excellent curry to be had there.
Other than that, i'll echo RudeBoy. Tayyabs or Sweet & Spicy (where the locals eat).
is that Tayyabs place between Spitalfields and the hospital?
That's the one. A family business; they've been there for over 50 years, in that street.
Not only that, but you've got the Whitechapel Bell Foundry on the corner, Aldgate End, and Tayyabs is next door to Tower House, where George Orwell stayed, to understand what life was really like for some of London's poorest people. And look out for the little Synagogue, right next to the big mosque!
Another for Tayyab's (if that's the one with the weird glassed-in private dining room).
Noooo! The first rule of Tayyabs is you do not talk about Tayyabs!
ahhh Tayabs tummy ache - usually strikes when you are halfway home on the tube...its the best!
Also,if you get chance pop in and buy some sweets from the shop next door to Tayabs - fantastic (although I label them as Diabetes-in-a-box)
Oops! You're right, you know, duntmatter! 😕
Mm, I'm sitting here craving one of their samosas...
Tayyabs has a funky website
Mums the word though!
Go to the alishan, bottom of Brick Lane and then onto Osborne street. Really good food and cheap as well
