Title: Visiting London in July, best BIR curry house?
Post by: BoneHoney on June 18, 2014, 01:43 PM

Hi everyone, I'm visiting London soon (from Brisneyland, Australia) and I absolutely love British Indian restaurant style curries. What I would like to know is, where is the best place for me to go to get a good curry? I'm talking standard fare, common or garden, good old Anglo-Indian curry. Nothing fancy, with good poppadoms, good mango chutney, good pilau, fantastic flavours, nice atmosphere, friendly staff and reasonable prices (although I don't mind paying a bit more for that extra touch of quality). I don't wanna go anywhere like the cinnamon club or tamarind or anywhere else like that. I just want an authentic Anglo-Indian curry experience. I think I've made my point.

I think may have found a place, it's called Indian Express. Here is the link http://www.indian-express.net/ (http://www.indian-express.net/)

Have any of you ever been here?

BoneHoney,

i've not had curry in london. the only place i would visit though given the chance is brick lane. i believe it was where the curry journey started out. it looks from TV as if it still has a good few restaurants there.

best wishes for the trip.

Brick Lane is more of a tourist trap now and probably best avoided, if you're in the area the best place for a curry is Tayyabs in Whitechaple or lahore in Stepney not BIR but really good food. If you must go to Brick Lane then Alladins is the place to go. It depends where you're staying as London is a very big city.

"London" has got it right there- it would be the equivalent of us asking you where to have a curry in a city NEARLY TWICE AS BIG as Sydney or Melbourne!!! lol

And some of the best BIRs are going to be found in the (otherwise pretty ordinary) suburbs- as is probably the case everywhere I guess.

So where you staying?
