My first Brick Lane curry

I cannot believe that I had never been to Brick Lane before! The Hokusai exhibition brought me here and I will definitely be back. It's such a vibrant and non-touristy area. We had a tea break in a little, cosy oriental cafe and then went for curry. There are so many curry houses and they all have their promoters outside, trying to lure you in. We settled for one that was quite empty. That usually makes me suspicious, but it was a good choice. The food was nice, the service friendly and fast and starter + main + side came to only £10 and because it wasn't so busy, it was nicely quiet and we were able to have a conversation without having to shout at each other: perfect!
