<\/p>\n

We’re fond of a good curry and we’ve got a soft spot for London. What we don\u2019t like so much is that Brick Lane steals the limelight. So we thought we\u2019d shine the spotlight on some of the other great curry houses in East London. For years, we\u2019ve been recommending these places to friends and family, and now we\u2019re sharing our recommendations with the world. They are all within a 10-minute walk of Brick Lane, so you can easily squeeze in a stroll down the famous strip, before heading to one of these for a good feeding \u2014 just mind you don\u2019t get pulled in by the Brick Lane hawkers offering you a free drink!<\/p>\n

To see our travel guide in its entirety, click here<\/a> or head to the\u00a0Buggl website<\/a>, where you can download it free of charge. Alternatively, check out our recommendations below. If you have some travel advice of your own you\u2019d like to contribute on Buggl, you can sign up and create your own guidebooks here<\/a>. It\u2019s easy to do as the Buggl template takes care of the design for you, so you can just concentrate on sharing your nuggets of knowledge.<\/p>\n

Away From Brick Lane: The Best Curry Houses in East London<\/strong>
\nAlthough Brick Lane is famous for its curries, it\u2019s not the only hotspot in town. In fact, some of the best curries are found away from the strip. Brick Lane is synonymous with curry, but with so many near-identical restaurants on one stretch, it can be impossible to tell the good from the bad. What\u2019s more, the heavy rate of footfall on \u2018curry mile\u2019 means that the bad survives along with the good. My advice is, get off the beaten curry path, and try some of these cafes and restaurants, none of which are more than a 10-minute walk away from Brick Lane.<\/p>\n

Tayyabs<\/strong>
\nFrequently named one of the best Indians in town, Tayyabs is, unfortunately, no secret. Patient diners, both with and without reservations, are required to queue, while service is fast-paced and gruff. Fantastic dishes including sizzling hot, spice-rubbed lamb chops, dry meat (full-flavored and tender slow-cooked beef with garlic, chili and turmeric) and tinda masala (pumpkin curry). As an added bonus, it\u2019s BYOB.<\/p>\n

Lahore Kebab House<\/strong>
\nThis no-frills curry house may look a bit like a school cafeteria, but it\u2019s among the best in London. Its irresistible tandoori-style grilled meats rival those in nearby Tayyabs. For next to nothing, you can eat your way through an array of tasty grilled meats, curries, fluffy naan and rice. It\u2019s also BYOB.<\/p>\n

Needoo Grill <\/strong>
\nUp there with Whitechapel\u2019s finest curry houses, Needoo Grill is on par with neighboring Tayyabs and Lahore. It serves authentic Punjabi cuisine in a buzzing, neon-lit interior. If you can\u2019t get into Tayyabs, try coming here \u2014 it\u2019s usually marginally easier to nab a table. Needoo Grill is also BYOB.<\/p>\n

Dishoom <\/strong>
\nTrendier than your average Brick Lane joint, Dishoom bills itself as a Bombay Caf\u00e9 rather than a curry house. What\u2019s the difference? The dining room has been subject to hip styling \u2014 think vaguely Indian trinkets and Persian brick-a-brack \u2014 and the menu has also been dramatically widened to include Indian-fusion small plates and snacks. Authentic? No. Delicious? Absolutely.<\/p>\n

The Empress<\/strong>
\nThis longstanding curry house has been doling out traditional Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine since 1993. It never draws in the same numbers as its perma-packed Whitechapel brethren, but it has built up quite the loyal following. For good reason too. The fresh and tasty food combined with helpful service make it an understated winner.<\/p>\n

Cinnamon Kitchen<\/strong>
\nChic and stylish, the hip Cinnamon Kitchen serves up modern, refined Indian cuisine in an expansive space. Mains hit a slightly higher price point (between \u00a312.50 \u2013 \u00a332.00 at dinner), but the cooking is both innovative and sophisticated. The adjoining Anise cocktail bar is perfect for a pre-dinner cocktail.<\/p>\n

Meraz Caf\u00e9 <\/strong>
\nJust a stone\u2019s throw from the main Brick Lane thoroughfare, you\u2019ll find this cheap and satisfying Indian caf\u00e9. The spare interior may not promise much, but the food \u2014 a blend of classic Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani dishes \u2014 certainly delivers. It is also BYOB.<\/p>\n
