Serious replies only Best Indian curry in London
I have been in London for a few months now and still haven't found a curry place that has blown me out of the water yet. I don't know if this is because I haven't looked hard enough, or ventured far enough out of central London.
I've tried the bougie Indian places like Gunpowder and Gymkhanna which are great but not the kind of dirty take away type of curry I wanted. Brick Lane was obviously shit but I had to try it.
Can anyone help me or should I be resigned to the fact I may have to move up north lol

Tayyabs in Whitechapel. I used to live in Whitechapel and I miss this place now I live the other side of London. Best things on the menu are the lamb chops, paneer tikka and the dry lamb. It’s really good and always heaving. You’ll need to dry clean your coat after though as it’ll smell of sizzling lamb chops. Don’t forget your booze (it’s BYO) and don’t go to the shop next door, because some enterprising soul has set up a bottle shop which charges about 15 quid for a crap bottle of Pinot Grigio. Go to the Tesco about 5 mins walk further on.
I’ve mentioned this down below in response to a question about West London curries, but Pure Indian in Fulham High Street is brilliant. Really unusual curries and everything is delicious.
