Light coverage. Worth knowing, but not heavily written about.

A cavernous Brick Lane curry house defined by aggressive touting and gaudy decor rather than culinary quality.

Ordering Strategy

Focus entirely on the breads (nans and chapattis), as the curries and rice were heavily criticized for poor quality and execution.

What to order

Safe first

Sabzi Nan

Described as a 'hallelujah!' moment in an otherwise dismal review, this nan is noted for being large, hot, and well-made.

Hungry

Chapattis

One of the few redeemable items, described as 'good and hot' thanks to a bread chef who is clearly 'doing his best.'

Wildcard

Dal Tarka

Though the critic noted it lacked enough garlic, it was still deemed 'sound enough,' making it one of the few items that wasn't outright rejected.

What to skip

Skip
Sonargaon Special— A starter consisting of a prawn covered in a 'thick slick' of glutinous, sharp, tomatoey sauce with a 'gratuitous kick of raw spice.'
Skip
Sonargaon Gosht— This 'signature' dish is an oily curry heavy on tomato with 'fierce chilli heat' and 'chunks of chewy lamb.'
Skip
Malai Chops— Criticized for being served cold, tiny, and 'wizened and gnarled into the bargain.'
Skip
Boiled Rice— Described as 'shocking,' it uses cheap rice with many broken grains and arrives at the table in clumps.

Good to know

Located at the start of Brick Lane, the venue is huge and deals are often pushed by aggressive touts outside; expect slow service during busy times.
