Standard Balti House (Spitalfields)

• While everyone else on the street was claiming their curries were so good they would induce labour before you've even done the dirty
• These guys were saying that they were just a humble
• Perhaps they were the Jonny Wilkinson of Brick Lane (modest
• Letting their food do the boasting) while their competitors were Chris Ashtons (pretending they're tough when a prop's fart could blow them over and swan diving their way into obscurity)
• Turns out they were pretty standard
• The service was minimalist I'm starting to wonder if it's only the UK and the US who do follow ups
• The restaurant was very quiet though so if we needed something it wasn't hard to get the staff's attention
• I guess most Brick Laners were visiting the Deluxe Balti Brothel next door
• As I was with two ladies and I wanted to pretend to be manly (and also because we were using a Taste Card for 50% off) I decided to attempt
• Now because I am as used to spice as Nigel Farage is used to integrity
• Anyway) and was pretty tasty
• Then came the vindaloo and what was surely to lead to an Elvis style death
• The weapon was well presented and the poppadoms came with an array of chutneys
• The spice built up in your throat and I was afraid to talk to my friend opposite in case I accidentally set her on fire
• The restaurant's name is about right (although I didn't have a balti so I can't say for sure) it was standard
• I love curry and this is the BEST along Brick Lane and Central London
• The food and service is outstanding my 8th visit
• I like the cheese spinach as it is quite soft and good
• There is no shortage of smiling faces grabbing your attention with promises of the best deal
• I normally go for the ones requiring the least sales effort and with bums on seats
• Overall food was ok not very great but my overall experience was not good as i felt that i was getting a very inferior reception from the restaurant
• I saw them saying thanks and being polite to other people whereas may be because i was the only asian there the treatment was very dull with me
• The famous set meal here was for 7.99 and fared quite well on the quality front
• The veg jalfrezi was spicy enough for me
