Decided to try another Curry house on 6th St, hey why not. Again, we miss our curries from (no, not India itself) England. In London Brick Lane is famous for it's long row of curry houses, with everyone standing outside trying to entice people in to their particular restaurants. They keep adding more and more free "extras" to see if you'll bite... I was once out there for a girls dinner with about 9 or 10 girls, and wow was there a bidding war to see which restaurant would get to serve us... we ended up going to the one that offered 5 (yes 5!) free bottles of wine...
So anyway when we saw the restaurant aptly named "Brick Lane" on NYC's own curry-row, and it looked stylish, menu looked good, seemed to get good reviews, we decided we should check it out. We met up with some friends we went to school with in England, and the 5 of us took the round table by the window. On a weekday the place was empty, no trouble at all though we did make a reservation just in case. We had met the creator of Cobra beer during grad school, and some classmates even worked on a project for the company, so we've all become fans needless to say. I think they gave us all free beer at one point... but apparently they can't use the name "Cobra" beer in the US, so it's called "Krait" instead, which sounds a bit strange if you ask me. But hey we drank it anyway.
Great thing about 5 people is the potential of sharing curries. So we got 5 different options and shared, and overall they were very good curries.... chicken bhuna, lamb balti, chicken korma, saag, and chicken tikka masala (all were good, I think Bhuna was my fav!). Plenty of naan to go round, and some onion bhaji and samosas. Recommended!
