    Aloo Chat (vegan)
    Matt B.

    I did a search for top-rated vegan-friendly Indian restaurants in London and this place popped up. I saw they had a separate all-vegan menu that looked excellent, so that was the clincher. It was four of us sharing, so we ordered a big feast to share. We got: -Aloo Chat (£3.95) to start -- nice tangy and spicy cooked potatoes. Maybe a little small but very nicely done. 4.5/5 -Shabji Garlic (£11.95) - dry, garlicky, immensely flavourful, with nice textures from the veggies used. The roasted garlic slices on top were awesome. I hadn't had anything quite like this in Indian food. Real nice. 5/5 -Bindi Daal Gatta (£10.95) -- I've had many okra dishes in Indian food but none quite like this that came with daal. Tangy, somewhat tomatoey, with nicely cooked okra that somehow combine well with the daal. Interesting, creative dish that worked very well. 5/5 -Mixed Vegetable Rogan Josh (£10.95) -- a very tomatoey veggie dish that was resultingly quite tangy and a touch sweet. The flavours were nice but I didn't realize this would be so tomato-dominant when we ordered - would've preferred a more even mix of veggies, but for what it was, it was very nice. 4/5 -Gunpowder 'Chicken' Dupiaza (£17.95) -- really lovely this dish. The 'chicken' they use (tindle) had a wonderful texture, was accompanied by perfectly cooked onions, and cooked in a rich red sauce. This was kickass but man, the price was absurd. 5/5 The service was top-notch, other than having to wait 45 minutes for all the mains to come out. Despite that, they treated us very well. Highly recommended vegan-friendly Indian place in the heart of Brick Lane.

    We were in the brick lane area when we were invited in with a 20% discount and free wine. I don't eat Indian food often and I was not disappointed. The waiter was very friendly and gave us multiple suggestions on food. We ended up ordering 3 different ones, liked all of them. It was pretty late at night that we were there and were the only customers in the restaurant, with that in mind it was a little awkward eating with 5 other people are just wondering around you. Other than that the food was on point. Would definitely recommend this place.

    Me and my husband having fun and great food at city spice .

    Ended up getting food poisoning from the duck tikka biryani. Not very fun experience.

    amazing indian food in London! my partner and i shared so many dishes and we cleaned all of the…read moreplates. we ordered the lamb tikka, king prawns tikka, garlic naan, butter chicken curry, and some rice. all of it was a 10/10

    Visiting London from Chicago and of COURSE we had to try some of the town's famous East…read moreIndian-Pakistani cuisine, but friends' recommendations were all for high-end and/or chain places. So we did some research. Somewhere along the line we found Meraz written up as one of the 12 best Indian restaurants in England. Okay, so we trek over to the East End (pretty wild neighborhood that we enjoyed) for dinner at Meraz. My husband was disappointed not to find a particular dish on the menu, but the waiter didn't hesitate to offer to have the kitchen whip it up special for him. My husband also went a little wild ordering all sorts of appetizers and side dishes. Now I don't like to deal in hyperbole. A five star rating should be sufficient praise. But I'm going to go overboard just this once: BEST INDIAN FOOD I'VE EVER EATEN IN A RESTAURANT. EVER. I've eaten in Indian restaurants at home in Chicago, in L.A., New York, St.Louis, Atlanta, San Francisco, etc., etc. etc. Many have been good, but none approached this. We ate every scrap of all the food we ordered, and only because we had a tight timeline and a busy itinerary for our brief visit to London did we not go back for at least a second meal.
