Everything you may have heard about the lamb chops is right - they were fantastic.
The chicken tikka comes without the usual flourescent glow - and is all the better for it.
The place is a phenomenon - in the wastelands of Whitechapel - probably the best Indian / Pakistani food I have ever had. There were queues out the door at 6:30 on a Friday evening - and now I know why!
None of the refinement of the Cinamon Club, and no celebrity chef like Cafe Spice Namaste, but the cooking is expert. A short menu executed perfectly.
The place is absolutely packed - below is picture the floor we were on empty - but you will never see it like that!!
The service is frenetic - and the place is loud - definitely go with a group. One of our party had a mixed grill and that was the best of a very good bunch.
The bill came in at just under £100.00 for 7 of us - and everyone was full........
It's BYO - so pick up the beer of your choice - and get stuck in!!
You won't regret it.
