It was so bad I want to give it a Zero, but that's not possible so I give it a One. Unfortunately, this meal was so far from decent. I'm glad I only got to order one thing. I had ordered the tandoori chicken sizzler With the naan and curry sauce to start with. It was not flavorful at all, no spice or flavor. Barely even had salt, just red food color. Coming from an Indian who often dines at Indian restaurants, this was the worst experience I've had. Highly disappointed. I even relayed my message to the server. Wish I got a refund, pricy for food that isn't upto par. read more

The lunch special is amazing! I ordered the chicken vindaloo (very spicy for those of you who don't know indian food well!) and it was AMAZING. It comes with rice and plain naan. Replaced the plain naan for the garlic (worth the additional cost!). It comes with a veggie of the day (creamed broccoli & potatoes) and lentils! Wasn't a fan of the included dessert- rice pudding (too creamy for me) but everything else was delicious! Cute space inside. Plenty of metered spots around the restaurant. Was my first time here but definitely will be back very soon! read more

I think the food here would cater to those unfamiliar with Indian food. I didnt like how the tikka masala was extremely tomatoey and sugary. The nan flour seemed bad and it wasnt soft at all. I think they forgot to update their prices on their online menu too bc the dishes were like a couple bucks extra each which is understandable with inflation. I would say, i wont eat here again however i do encourage those who are new to indian food to give it a try. As always i wish much continued success to all yelp businesses. Reviews are personal experiences and not inclusive of all's opinions obviously read more

Food is good. Prices are high. Place is small. But be careful, they try to sneak a tip on to your check and hope you double tip.

Tried for the first time. We are not Indian food expert but we really enjoyed the take out. Everything we had was so flavorful and spiced so nicely. The portion was good too. One entree can make at least 2 meals for me. It was an excellent meal for a cold day. We will definitely go back. I wish the price was a little lower. read more

Actually is the best Indian restaurant around these area is wonderful and food is always delicious ! From apps to meals !! Awesome place real authentic flavors of India !! read more

My girlfriend was feeling daring one night (she never really has Indian food and doesn't generally enjoy spicy things) so we decided to eat some Indian food, of which I am a huge fan of. We decided on Brick Lane. I was lucky enough to try brick lane curry house at their now closed location in ridgewood and I was pleasantly surprised to find out they were also in Montclair. It had been ages since I had gone to eat there, so trying the Montclair location was like trying the restaurant for the first time again. We ordered the Chana masala dish and the dal mahkni with a side of naan. The food was absolutely delicious! The Chana masala was a bit spicy for my girlfriend, so if you are someone who isn't into spicy things, make sure you let them know beforehand as they do add a bit of a kick in their dishes. Overall a great experience and I really can't wait to go back here! read more

Overcame the meh reviews and decided to order in. Had 3 curry dishes and 3 naans - all were delicious. The moilee with shrimp was mild but flavorful. The vegetarian korma was nutty and sweet - that was our favorite. The madras with chicken had fantastic heat but not over the top. 4 of 5 stars only because pricing of each dish is definitely a few dollars higher than your usual curry spot and the chicken in the madras was just a touch dry. Otherwise will definitely be back and can't wait to try more of the menu! read more

Came for lunch with the boyfriend. We were blown away at how amazing the food was! We came at lunch time and got the lunch special which includes a curry, rice, naan and desert. For 12 bucks we were both stuffed! I got the chicken tikka masala which was delicious and had the right amount of heat for me. Spicy with some burn but not sweating my butt off. The rice is your typical basmati rice. The naan is thin and crispy, perfect for picking up all the sauce and rice and chicken. The boy got the lamb Goan and holy coconut batman! Delicious and vinegary and coconut-y. The lamb was tender and delicious. They also served a side dish of green beans and potatoes along the lines of a korma taste, and a side of peeli daal. For dessert they gave us rice pudding. Cinnamon, sweet milk and cardamom dominated the pudding and it was AMAZING. To go box a must. The atmosphere is casually hip and the server prompt but not overbearing and very nice. Priced at 11.99 for the lunch special, I'll happily be coming back. Top notch food. read more

Had dinner here last night with a couple of friends. We ordered the chicken tikka masala and the vindaloo with white rice and garlic naan. The food was okay, not impressed. Not spicy at all which was maybe a good thing as I was worried it would be too spicy for my liking. I've had much better Indian food before, so maybe my expectations were higher, especially since the reviews were mostly good for this restaurant. I would have rated this place a solid 4 stars, but the reason why I'm dropping two is because the restaurant lacked cleanliness. The bathroom's garbage can was over piling with toilet paper and paper towels were scattered all over the floor. Additionally, as I was eating I noticed a roach crawling on the wall besides our table. I immediately felt disgusted, especially since we had already finished our dinner. My friends and I all froze and stared at it as it made its way to the table behind us. Then, before I could even say anything, one of the girls sitting at the table behind us grabbed their cloth napkin and squashed it. All I gotta say is gross.... I definitely won't be returning to a restaurant where roaches are crawling in the dining room. If one roach was spotted next to the wall of our table, just imagine how many of them are in the back where the food is being prepared. As far as prices, the food was reasonably priced. Each such is about $20 and it comes with rice. Naan is an extra $5 for three pieces. Samosas are $4.50 a piece, which we also tried but I did not like. They serve two sauces on the table, one tamarind, one mint. The mint one was really good, the tamarind I found it to be a bit too sweet for my taste but not bad though. Hopefully, they do a better job cleaning the establishment to prevent cockroaches from returning. read more

Formerly our favorite place for Indian cuisine in the area, but no more. Apparently under new management - food so-so, service slow. took 30 minutes to get our food; meanwhile 3 different customers came in to pick-up phone orders - all had to wait at least 10 minutes. Ambiance not good - LOUD music for a weekend lunch. Lunch special is no longer anything special: portions are smaller; no longer comes with lentils and a vegetable - now, 2 bites of iceberg lettuce. Rice pudding has fallen to very mediocre. To top it off, the meal is served on a metal tray - I felt like I was in a military mess hall [photo below] read more

Went for dinner and the food was soooo much better than when I went for lunch. Maybe they were having an off day? I dunno but the curry was super flavorful. Definitely going to be back read more

Just noted my last review of (and probably visit to) this place was in 2013, and i gave it 5 stars Perhaps it's changed hands since then. Takeout tonight was just ok: alo gobi was rather thin, and naan quite chewy. Biryani had a few chunks of potato in it .... why? Carelessness? read more

Our group of four came later in the evening on a Saturday night and we were seated right away. The food was brought out pretty quickly which was good because we were all starving. We ordered the chicken tikka masala, chicken madras, and meat sizzler. My favorite was definitely the chicken tikka - it wasn't too spicy with a hint of sweetness and the chicken was tender. The madras was good as well but didn't love it. The pieces of chicken were also on the bigger side for my liking. The meat sizzler was a let down - we mainly wanted it for the lamb chops but we only got one piece the size of my palm. The chicken was fine - nothing really outstanding so I would skip over the sizzler. Also, big plus that it's BYOB! I will also say that we lost track of time and were there well after they closed but not once did anyone say anything to us or give us the side eye. Would recommend! read more

It took a damn winter storm to finally get me in to this place. I always had it in the back of my mind to try Brick Lane, but for one reason or another it never seemed to materialize. But because every Indian restaurant seemed to be closed after winter storm Stella, my friend and I decided that this would be a nice place to keep up the tradition of going out after a blast of old-man winter. It's just our thing! Walking in to the restaurant we were the only two people dining for the evening. That wasn't a surprise of course and it made it even more intimate and dare I say romantic. The atmosphere, with its warm glow and elegant décor, is surely a hit for individuals that want a smaller, laid back destination to take their special someone. The food of course is why people keep coming back and I have to say that Brick Lane does not disappoint. My friend and I ordered an appetizer of vegetable pakoras--a mixed bag of vegetables fried with chickpea batter. The fritters were fried perfectly and more importantly was not so greasy that it would slip off your fingers like in other restaurants. For entrée we shared the vegetable korma and matar paneer with the quintessential garlic naan to soak up all that delicious sauce. The korma curry, with its delicate balance of almond gravy and saffron, was the perfect curry to warm the body and soul on such a wintery evening. The matar paneer lived up to my expectations with its creamy tomato and onion sauce. The evening couldn't have gone any better. I'm glad that my friend and I went out to keep the tradition alive. Winter storm, or not, nothing ever stops us from finding a good meal and good times. read more

I love the biryani spicy rice , vindaloo tastes great! I order the tikka masala as well. The tikka masala was sweet as I honestly don't like sweet food, so it wasn't something I like. If you the kinda who don't mind eating sweet dish. Try the tikka masala, because of its favor . Roti and Paratha was great!!!!! The waiter suggested I try the paratha, gl it was very delicious!! The restaurant looks great from the inside and the waiters very polite . I definitely recommend trying this place . read more

Went for Daily Lunch Special Food - 5/5. The madras sauce is strong and delicious. It goes really well with the prawns and all the other food items. Although described as "medium to hot", it really isn't that spicy so those with low spice tolerance shouldn't shy away from it. The naan and rice were fluffy, the prawn had a good bite and the tofu was solid. Rice pudding gave a sweet and cool finish. Service - 2/5. The waiter was constantly in the back kitchen helping with prep work which is not a bad thing but he seemed really distracted. He never came around and I had to go to the back to ask for my check. The dessert section of the lunch special was forgotten until mentioned. The restaurant seems to not have any form of air conditioning or it was purposely left off. Makes you feel a bit less valued when that happens to you. Value - 4/5. The lunch special gives a large variety for $12 and the food tastes really good. The portions are a bit small though with only three regular sized shrimps being offered. Although I understand pricing, getting only three pieces makes you feel a bit sad.

My experience was..... the food was good but the staff was not as pleasant (an attempt not to say rude) as I would have expected for the traffic in the restaurant (very light) we felt pressured and they seemed over worked or were just having a hard day. Was a huge disappointment as I did actually enjoy the food and it would've been a great experience otherwise. read more

Overall, 3.5 stars. I'm spoiled and live closer to jersey city and there is a plethora of delicious and cheaper Indian food there. Nonetheless this place delivers some quality dishes. Atmosphere: Tiny, they take reservations though. I've had to wait a few minutes for a table of about 7 during Sunday lunch but also was seated right away for a table of 3 around Sunday dinner. Food: tried the lasuni gobi app ($10) which is fried cauliflower drenched in citrusy sauce. Resembles Chinese cuisine. It was kind of cold and not as crispy as other gobi dishes I've tried at other Indian restaurants. I will commend them on their on point malai kofta and chicken korma. The korma is creamy and the malai kofta dumplings are soft and bursting with flavor. Their naan here is pretty pricy ($5) but they do give complimentary rice at dinner. Overall it's definitely a bit too expensive for my taste absent the lunch special. Service: can be slow to start, but the staff here is very friendly. read more

Came for a date night and had an amazing time. They have indoor and outdoor seating available and amazing service. Every single thing we ordered was amazing and above our expectations. We had vegetable pakora and aloo samosas to start and then split chicken Bhuna (mod spicy) & rice with extra garlic naan to dip in the sauce (a must!) We cannot wait to come back. read more

I came here with my bf last night for our date night at around 6:30 pm. It was both our first time at this establishment and possibly the worst we've encountered. I usually give people the benefit of the doubt especially when you can clearly see that the place was busy, but we had the most awful service. We were seated next to a table where we ordered at the exact same time. They received their food after 30-40 minutes and once they started grabbing containers after 60 min and we didn't even receive a single dish yet we called over the waitress. She came over and was shocked when we told her that we didn't have anything on our table and had waited a little over an hour, but she didn't even apologize at all. At this point we both agreed that it was unacceptable. Not once did a single person come over at our table and ask how we were doing or even reassure us that the food will come. The only thing was they kept refilling our water and really didn't acknowledge the lack of food. We were incredibly disappointed and walked out hungry. This was also both our first time ever walking out of a place. Even when my bf went up to them and said we were just going to leave, they didn't even apologize or seem remorseful. Won't be coming back again. read more

See picture to see what they called British Fish & Chips. It's an embarrassment. The curry was watered down as well. Not sure they know what a Korma is. The British Brick Lane would be running this establishment out of town. They should really stop using the name Brick Lane curry house, as there's an expectation which they fall short on (apart from the expensive price ) read more

This is my absolute favorite Indian restaurant (and I love Indian food). From where I live, it's a long drive, so I can only go for dinner about once a month. The restaurant is clean and classy. The service is excellent. The portions are generous. The vindaloo and the chicken and vegetarian tikka are amazing. I usually go with a friend who is a vegetarian. They have a wide range of vegetarian options, so we both have plenty of food to share. Best of all, if you like your food spicy, try their legendary "phaal." Seriously, it's insanely hot, but it's fun to try it with your friends. read more

New favorite spot alert !!! Ok so honestly I was always hesitant to try Indian food after my first bitter experience so I never gave it a second shot until now! Wow ! Game changer ! I love everything about Indian cuisine now , the variety of flavors in just one bite is just yum!! So into what I got here at the Brick Lane. For starters I got their traditional mango smoothie , the mango flavor was rich And i enjoyed how it complemented the food. What I ordered was the lamb lunch special, which comes with a side of rice and lentils (I believe , whatever it was , it was great ) . The lamb was marinated in this delicious spicy sauce that I enjoyed very much. It was crazy spicy but just right to tingle my taste buds. My friend got the chicken Takki and that was also very delicious, the chicken wasn't dry , rich in flavor and when you eat it with the salad , phenomenal! They bring you complimentary brews that goes great with the food! Also, got the Cauliflower , a heathy alternative to the fried stuff in the menu ! Overall this place has a nice subtle upscale feel to it. The food is almost served like family style, enjoyed that very much ! I truly can't wait to come back and take my taste buds on another flavorful trip ! read more

This place is insanely good and vegan friendly. I got the daal while the two other people in my party got curries that blew them away.

Brick Lane might be small but the food is a notch above. Lots of wonderful choices on the menu even for those not familiar with Indian food. I had the vegetable Jalfrezi. Wonderfully flavorful and not overly spicy. My friend ordered the Aloo Gobi and loved it, even though she never had Indian food before. The garlic naan was amazing too. read more

The only consistent Indian food I've experienced in Northern NJ. Better during the day than evening, but still delicious.

I have only tried this place once but the food was really good. The menu was pretty standard for Indian places and the prices were decent. The wife and I order the chicken tikka Masala with rice and garlic nan. Was not disappointed. I would probably come back. - street parking - small seating area read more

Best Indian restaurant in Montclair. Most people say it's overpriced but I say that it's worth the price. Of course it's best when you eat it right there, but if you have to do take out , it's still full of flavor. The staff is so friendly as well. Absolutely love it read more

My husband and I came here for dinner for my birthday on Tuesday. It was surprisingly busy considering that it was early in the week and the first snowy night of winter. I had the meat sizzler which was really very tasty. The lamb was particularly good, as was the chicken. All of the meat was tender and the portions were generous. I was surprised by some of the prior reviews that commented on the small portions. My husband had the Imli Ki Champe (lamb chops), and we shared an order of the yellow lentils which were creamy and delicious. We also had an order of the rosemary naan. They had other interesting choices as well such as basil, which I would like to try on my next visit. My husband also had a mango lassi, which was one of the better ones he ever had. Service was pretty good. They were very attentive to my food allergies, which is particularly challenging with Indian food but they dutifully ensured that we were able to have an event free evening. My only complaint is that after 20 minutes, we had to ask for our beverages again. Perhaps they thought we wanted them with our meal? Otherwise, service was attentive and we really enjoyed the food. They also appear to have a busy take out business. read more

Meh Indian food. Onion bhajias should be golf ball size crispy onion fritters served with mint or tamarind chutney. Theirs was a hockey puck that had been moulded too firmly and was thus stodgy. No accompanying sauces. Second gripe: vindaloo chicken looked watery but the sauce was its typical pungent-acidic red color. Not sure why potatoes were added to the curry - other than to boost profit. "Lamb" Biriani was no such thing - rather tough pieces of goat or mutton. Flavor of the rice was good. Service was slow as molasses. Chicken shish kebab and onion naan were good. Good place to order in from if high quality Indian cuisine is NOT a requirement. read more

I feel inclined to review this place since I'm here basically every other week. This is definitely my favorite Indian restaurant in Jersey, and I've been to quite a few. Highlights/notes: - Samosas are huge, perfectly fried, seasoned nicely, and served with a great little salad of lettuce and relish - Spicy here is actually spicy. The phaal is deadly (could barely finish a small taste). The vindaloo here is very spicy, but still tolerable. The vindaloo is the curry to get if you crave actual spice, and is the one I most often get - Favorite medium spiced curry is the jalfrezi, which comes with a ton of veggies - Favorite mild curry is the moilee. A perfect contrast to the vindaloo and pairs wonderfully with seafood - Tandoori catch of the day: A whole steamed fish, usually red snapper, that is served with a great spicy sauce and a ton of vegetables. When it comes out everything is still extremely hot and steaming. Just awesome - The lunch special is not buffet style, but I actually like it more because of that. Still a huge portion of food (rice, naan, choice of curry w/ choice of protein, two side veggies, and rice pudding) and at a great price of $10 - The food here is more expensive than your typical Indian restaurant: expect to pay around $30 per person on food alone. But it's oh so worth it. - Service is generally awesome, unless they're extremely busy. It's a tiny restaurant and the size of the staff is pretty small, so sometimes it is hard to get the attention of the waiters. - BYOB! read more

Food: I ordered the Lamb Saab (my favorite Indian dish). They did a good job on the dish overall but I wished it was a bit more creamy. Everything else I ordered was extremely flavorful without the super spicy. Price: The price is where I expected it to be. It came out to be around $28 per person. Decor: It's a small shop. There wasn't many people there that day but if it was busy I would of felt cramped. Parking & Finding the Place: I didn't drive there but there seems to be some street parking. read more

I wanted to love this place because I love Indian food, but I am underwhelmed. I ordered lunch. 12.00 for lunch is a bit much, but I was in the neighborhood and craving Indian, so I ordered the takeout box lunch. I ordered chicken tikka masala, and it said it would come with a vegetable, rice, naan and dessert. OK, sounds like a good deal but the plate was mostly rice. There were two large chicken chunks in the sauce and that was it. The vegetable, whatever it is, is inedible and tastes of onions. What struck me first was that everything was extremely salty, in an "I am craving water" way. I am used to Indian food standing on the merit of its spices, not an msg rush. I think there are better options in the area. I gave this place a go but I'm really not impressed. If I'm not happy with something as basic as chicken tikka masala, I'm not going to order something more spectacular. read more

Gotta love tikka masala! Ordered chicken tikka masala , served w/ basmati rice & onion naan. This was delicious but not as spicy as I had hoped it would be. In fact, our waiter didn't ask us the spice level desired, we thought this was odd. Anyways, came here for a quick dinner. We brought our own beer, Michelob light. P.S. I am trying to learn to appreciate beer so I'm starting light. =) Service was acceptable but you may want to bring your own bucket for cold drinks. Our waiter kindly took our beers and placed it in the kitchen's fridge. Cool. There was one flaw- not enough chicken for the price you are paying on the dish. Yes, there was plenty sauce you can use with rice and naan but I wanted more chicken! I will definitely come back and try other Indian dishes. read more

Food was delicious. We will definitely be going back again. The samosas were huge and fabulous.

Clean and casual Indian restaurant that's very popular in Montclair. This restaurant is always crowded and the seats are limited so be prepared to wait. The food is delicious and authentic but it's pricier than other typical Indian restaurants, with each curry price ranging around $20-23. Most tables are for 2-4 ppl, so not recommended for a large group. read more

OMGEEE!!! My bf and I absolutely LOVEEE this place!!! We are avid curry eaters (usually Caribbean-Trinidadian), but when he got word from someone (a self-proclaimed foodie) on his university's Alumni Club to come to Brick Lane Curry for lunch we were there the first chance we got! It was a Sunday and we were the first patrons in there that afternoon in late July. I honestly can't remember what kind of curry we ordered but everything was PHENOMENAL!!! The tofu appetizer; the lamb; the chicken masala; the dessert! EVERYTHING!!! Idk why we haven't gone back yet, but we will definitely make our way here again sometime soon! read more

Poor service for a pickup order. If you're going to give me an estimate, at least be up front. Long story short - I waited over an hour for an order I was originally told was 25 minutes. THEN I was handed the wrong order and they had to redo my order (additional wait). For the wait and quality of the food (which was average for Daal makhani and Aloo gobi), I would rather travel to the Indian restaurants in Edison/Iselin. read more

So good! Had a craving for Indian food and this was the recommendation. A little further out from Montclair's downtown but still in a good area. The shop was small and not too busy for an early dinner on the weekend. We got the veggie samosas, lamb saag, chicken biryani, garlic and toasted sesame naan, and lamb chops. Everything was SO delicious! Samosas were pretty big, we split each between two people and the chutneys they came with them were perfect. The lamb saag was flavorful with decent chunks of lamb in it. The naan was really tasty, especially a fan of the garlic naan. Chicken biryani was a quality rice dish with the perfect amount of nuts/raisins/meat/spices distributed through it and came with a delicious yogurt sauce. The lamb chops were also incredibly tasty, but quite expensive for only 4 pieces. I really liked the sauce that came with it and kept having that with my naan. Price and service was decent. Got quality Indian food at a reasonable price and enough food for some leftovers. Definitely recommended if you want a curry and naan fix. read more
