An area rich in the true sense of the word, with a tribute to all those who made Brick Lane and its surrounding area culturally rich for generations before them too.

I remember they did a really good vegetarian mixed thali that was cheap for students and a very good lamb or chicken saag (my favourite). One of my mature student friends was a Jewish lady, after eating we’d go to the Beigel Bake for plain bagels to take home and she’d buy some cakes for her elderly mum. I spent some very happy times in the Brick Lane curry houses back then, also in the late 90s when I worked at Spital Square and Brick Lane was a stone’s throw away.
I live in Switzerland now, spicy foods are not so popular here, but when you find a good curry house and they realise you’re British the waiter will ask how hot you’d like it ?

It was a privilege to be allowed a glimpse into their precious and personal family stories and a wonderful insight into the hard work and professionalism of these ‘unsung and unseen heroes’.

It’s too easy to forget what dedication is involved when as a customer we can have a curry within just a few minutes.

I’ve only eaten the Balti at the Eastern Eye but it was so good!
