We used to eat at Nazrul when we lived in Stepney 40 years ago. Some change is to be expected especially as Brick Lane has become a tourist destination , but we did enjoy the food, including some vegan dishes and it’s still BYO. However, in the excitement of sharing a meal with the 4 of us, I didn’t check the handwritten bill which disappeared after my payment. Only later did I realise that I paid £89 for what should have cost approximately £73. Not a huge deal but I should have checked, especially having left a tip.

The worst service I have ever had. The don’t even know how to talk with the custome. Specially the man with no hair😂

Really tasty food! I had the sweet chilli chicken and it has the perfect kick to it! If you like it spicier, the guy also offers chilli oil to add. Great sized portions also!

It has a good vibe and good drinks

A really decent and comfortable pub situated in Spitalfields market. We spent an enjoyable hour or so watching the world go by. Service was good as was the food

Great and all the staff are friends with customers and smiles.

Great service in a relaxed location. Food very delicious, with interesting and unusual flavours. Tasty refillable soft drinks and excellent bottled sauces that are free to use, ala Nando’s.

WOW! Popped in today for lunch and was genuinely amazed by the food. I had the boneless chicken jalfrezi, aubergine, and daal with plain rice and it was probably one of the best Indian restaurant dine in meal I've had in a very long time - very tasty, authentic, and quality ingredients used. I use to run my own Indian takeaway a few years ago, so I was seriously impressed with the food and service.

A cost-effective Chinese restaurant I have been going to for 10 years. If you go when it's busy, the quality will drop, so I recommend going as soon as it opens. I highly recommend the dry fried sweet and sour pork, lamb skewers, and cold beef.

Stopped here on Friday evening for some grub and a drink. Chicken fillet burger and fries, portions good, food tasty, nothing out of this world. Bar clean and well laid out. We sat outside the bar, in the covered area. Nice area, staff very friendly and helpful out here. Can play a selection of games inside such as football, air hockey variation etc, we didn't play as others there. Overall, a nice bar and location with friendly staff.

Amazing pub and great service from Jack. Great pint of Timothy Taylor too.

Amazing tandoori chicken, great bengal lamb chanks and naans. Very tasty and moist. Quick and nice service. Bollywood clips in bonus

DOESN’T EXIST !! Just spent 20 minutes looking for it and couldn’t find anything! Asked staff of Spitalfields markets and they had no clue either! If it is there it’s extremely misleading and unclear. We got the train half an hour to specifically go here, so a real let down.

Well well well, what a fantastic meal, start to finish, it left me smiling and satisfie. A delicious curry and naan! Watch out for the waiting staff, they'll get ya with their tricks ;)
