Profile
If it’s exotic curries you crave, the adventurous proprietors of the Brick Lane Curry House, on the old Indian row down on East 6th St., will give you a free bottle of beer if you can finish a bowl of their famously punishing phaal curry, which has a foreboding, swampy color and the consistency of sand (I couldn’t). The suitably peppery lamb vindaloo tasted almost soothing by comparison. If you’ve ever dined at the curry houses along 6th Street, the thick, creamy, un-oily variety of chicken tikka masala served here has a disorienting, slightly jarring effect, like stumbling on fresh-baked cherry pie, say, at your local Burger King.
Lunch BuffetDaily, noon–4:30 p.m., $13

Bricklane makes one realize how good Indian food can be. Flavorful curries, well-baked Naan, creative dishes makes this a pleasing change from the ghee-soaked Indian food usually found in New York,

My friend and I just ordered from this and spent 50+ dollars on take out. That is insane!! 3 dollar for a CAN OF SODA?? And I thought 1.50 from Chinese Take Out places was ridiculous! 3 DOLLARS???!! Then my friend ordered a cranberry juice, which was basically from a bar tap and they charged 4 dollars for that. We are STILL trying to figure out what the other prices were because what is on the menu and what we paid does NOT add up. Additionally, when I asked for the total cost of my food on phone, I was told "I am away from the register but it should be well under 50 dollars." What the hell is that? Sounds like a rip off to me! And what burns the most, the delivery took an hour instead of 30 minutes as promised AND my bread was COLD. Honestly, I would pass. I could have amazing Thai for HALF the price in HALF the time.
