Chaiiwala Brick Lane in Tower Hamlets

Please don't waste your time or money visiting here. Once upon a time this place was one of the best in London. Now, the food isn't fit for a dog. And that's before we get to the service. The lamb chops were this restaurant's signature dish. Now I wouldn't serve them to my worst enemy. They are thin, fatty, lifeless poor excuses for meat. The kebabs are made with an old, dry, musty mince. The masala fish comes in a batter where the powdered spices are raw and singe the palate. The naan is doughy, lacking even a hint of crispiness. The salad is stale, with mouldy tomatoes accompanying the limp cucumber.The curries are all served in the same slop of a sauce made by someone with a passing acquaintance with curries of the subcontinent. Service is atrocious. Are the staff racist? They need to remember they are in London, and some British people may make the mistake of gracing their doorways and that all customers of every hue should be treated with the same level of respect. And not be made to wait for 20 minutes while regulars are seated and served their food. Farewell to a fond establishment. Over the past decade I've spent many pounds in here, and made many more memories. But everything comes to an end. It's a shame it had to be this way.

Vivimos a cinco minutos a pie de este restaurante, pero esta fue nuestra primera visita. Empezamos con el dúo tandoori y las chuletas de cordero Adraki, ambas excelentes. Seguimos con el curry de langostino rey malabari (no es mi favorito, pero a mi esposa le encantó) , Punjabi bhindi, Saag bhaji, arroz pilau y naan. Lo disfruté mucho. El servicio fue excelente. Una carta de vinos muy pequeña pero suficiente

Good portions. Tasty food and great service.

I recently had masala dosa for lunch during the week. It was delicious. It will be my go to whenever I'm in the area from now on. The atmosphere was fine but the food was incredible and service very friendly.

Muy buen curry sabroso. Tengo celíacos y se sentaron y me explicaron lo que se me permitía que era sobre todo todo excepto panes que incluso se me permitían los Poppadoms. Esto es traer tu propio alcohol, no me di cuenta hasta que entré y el camarero me dio una tarjeta con un 20% de descuento con la Licencia Off the road 👍. Lo único negativo fue que estaba tan ocupado, pero eso debe probar lo bueno que es. Generosos tamaños de porciones y excelentes precios sin duda volverán cuando llegue Londres.
