Khushbu - best curry on Brick Lane 
Shining like a beacon of blue fluorescent light, Khushbu is more like a caff and takeaway joint than a restaurant. All the surfaces are white and there is a kebab shop-style counter where the food is ordered and dispensed. The fact that the tables and chairs are garden furniture gives you a hint that this isn't a place to go for a long drawn-out meal. If, however, what you want is a really good no-nonsense curry without the 20% off nonsense and other mysterious additions to the bill you get on Brick Lane, you can't go far wrong with Khushbu. There are usually about 5 curries available with a mixture of lamb, chicken and vegetarian options and a small selection of grilled meats. The quality of the curry is always excellent and for those nights when you're stumbling home after one too many they even do a decent chicken doner which comes served in a naan. Lamb curry, pilau rice and naan comes to about £8 or £9 which may seem expensive for a takeaway but when you consider that it's better food than pretty much anywhere on Brick lane it's not bad value. For the anoraks out there I know it's not actually on Brick Lane but it's close enough to be counted as part of that area.
