Aladin Brick Lane

I love Aladin - mainly because they offer Thali! We go there every time we visit Brick Lane! The service is friendly and quick. Great!

Food was rushed and slightly undercooked and underwhelming. Nothing special about the food at all. So overrated. We were rushed out after 45 mins when they brought us our bill without us having requested it as they clearly wanted the table back and we were not even offered deserts or coffees. Poor service with no effort made to make us welcome. Overpriced and service charge added to bill.

Speedy service with a good atmosphere. The food was alright - our starters (onion bhajis and vegetable samosas) were very average but the mains were good.

Wonderful food but we were rushed from start to finish. We were even presented with the bill without requesting it and they cleared the tables before everyone had finished eating. Our party of 6 spent an hour in there which isnt in our view inconsiderate. Next time we will try one of the other restaurants in Brick Lane. This one has become greedy.

No alcohol sold on premises tables to close together food average more of a cafe than a restaurant only get 20 percent off bill in you ask after the bill is given to you

Really friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant is unlicensed but ask for a card and the location of the outdoor licence 4 doors down and you'll get 20% off the price of beer and wine. The food is good and excellent mural of London on wall. Brick Lane is busy and lots of callers on the street will try very hard to tempt you into another restaurant - but be determined and keep going to the Aladin.

Great restaurant with attentive staff. It’s good to see you can still get a fine curry 30 years after I left the East end. Thanks

Great restaurant, food was brilliant and service was perfect, very nice staff Would recommend Aladin to anyone who is looking for great indian food and a great experience

Fantastic birthday meal out! Great for a celebration! 10 out of 10 service!

Best curry house on the planet!! Such friendly staff and the food is out of this world!! The chicken tikka blast was unlike any other dish I’ve tried, and I have been to a lot of Indian Restaurants! 11/10!!

I honestly love this place. They are always happy to accommodate our large party, year after year, with great "table side" manners. The food is always on point and the prices are very good. The only reason they did not receive a "6" (and I would love to give them a 5.75 if I could!) is due to the tiny little quirky issue with having to bring in your own bottle... But my heart grows fonder for Aladdin, year after year and when I am in London, I do not eat anywhere else when I am craving Indian.

Always great food here and amazing value. Good atmosphere too as always busy!

Staff were amazingly friendly but the broke air conditioning unit let it down but it was ridiculously hot so can’t really blame them. Tandoori prawns were recommended after I asked for normal ones and they were a bit dry so a little disappointing. Everything else was nice, especially the chilli paneer that they agreed to make me as it wasn’t on the menu.

Wonderful food and friendly staff . Food was of a very high standard and the service was excellent even though it was a busy evening. Opportunity to try different flavours before you order and knowledgeable staff. We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be going back.

Service and the food was amazing, although we waited a good 45-50 minutes for it. It was worth waiting. Staff was extremely helpful. I want to go back soon

Great food, good size portions, friendly staff. Very busy but they coped well. Our party had booked, we had to wait about 5 minutes for a table. Not too bad considering how busy they were.Not keen the way staff approach people on the street, but lots of the restaurants do It to get the trade.

We came here with a group of 30 and we all enjoyed it to the max. The service was top class by Manna and the food was absolute delicious!

Always great food here. Very busy but service okay. BYOB

Great service, very helpful with the menu, great food, the atmosphere was buzzing and you can bring your own booze - fab night would definitely go again

Amazing food and at a really good price. We had a table for 9 for a team night out and with a good tip it only cost £30pp. Would really recommend going here!

Really nice food, affordable prices, byob which was a bonus and good service. Was extremely busy showing it’s a great spot to eat in! Will definitely be back

Great for a party of 25! It was chaotic but they did their best to take care of us. Appreciate the service and the fun atmosphere!

We were rushed out of the restaurant after only an hour. They were more Interested in getting more people in. Rude service. Average food. Wouldn’t go back.

Great food, great selection, great service and great vibe. My wife had chicken jalfrezi which was very spicy (which she loved). We had a delicious dinner. Highly recommend.

Really great customer service, staff were friendly and helpful as explained we were in a rush for a gig. Food is always delicious here and amazing value for money.

Vibrant busy restaurant, busy but very attentive waiting staff who advised on what to order. Great food, basic décor and great staff=would recommend very highly.

This was an extremely disappointing experience... despite reviews on some sites about the high quality of the food here, it was mediocre at best. We ordered several kinds of dishes, but they all tasted pretty similar... a remarkable culinary feat considering how sophisticated and complex Bangladeshi (Indian) cuisine is. There was not a single dish that wowed anyone. To make matters worse, there was an extraordinary level of noise. This is clearly a restaurant that welcomes large (very large) groups of diners who are more interested in having a good time than the food. One table in our small narrow room (the Jasmine partner of the Aladin chain on Brick Lane) had at last 30 people at it -- all men whose yelling and screaming made it impossible to talk to our own table partners. Even the 23-year old son of our friends described the scene as "chaotic". Groups like this should be given rooms to themselves so that people who are there for the food an enjoy themselves. When I mentioned this to one of the service personnel, he seemed surprised that this was an issue and simply replied "you know this is Aladin". Clearly, the restaurant is living off past successes and is simply going for large numbers and middling food. So, if you are really interested in good bangladeshi food in London, try another restaurant.

I booked Aladdin but they sat us next door, they said it is the same chef but they shouldn't do that. They rushed us through the meal. There were not desserts I gave 4 points because we liked the food. They charged £4 extra as a mistake plus service charge They are a bit of a disaster. We know this place for over 20 years. we decided we will not bring guests anymore too little time to enjoy it.

The restaurant team catered for 20 guest and they did this splendidly. The food was very well presented and tasted fantastic. Our American guests fully enjoyed themselves and the food that was served to them. All round great restaurant and great staff

Had a lovely meal, great food and the staff are very welcoming and helpful. Will definitely be going back and would recommend to any one.

Great atmosphere and quality of food thankyou -near the door was a bit draughty as people and staff entering & leaving but no major issue

Good, helpful, quick service. Nice food and a very good variety of dishes. Would definitely go there again and would recommend to other people and friends

The food was nice but service was grumpy and slow. I’d try somewhere else next time as there are plenty of places on brick lane.

Always great food and good value. Service goes downhill a bit when they're v busy (which is most of the time)

Awful service. There were 14 of us on my sisters hen do, it took 30 minutes for someone to take our order. We were then ignored by 5 waiting staff and food then came out 45 minutes later but that's only because I had to find the owner to complain. He apologised by giving us bottle of Tesco finest rose to share which was disgusting. I wouldn't recommend or go back.

Food poor Had king prawn dish it was Luke warm The veg side dishes were Luke warm and sugary Service not good We were asked to vacate the table soon after we paid

Service was good. Food described as “medium”heat had none at all and was lukewarm at best. Was hoping for a little better given the reviews.

Always love coming to Aladin on Brick Lane. Came with Wife got First class treatment. It's packed and loud but who can argue with popularity?

Quality of the food was ok but I was expecting something exceptional based on reviews. Very cramped and noisy. Had the feeling they wanted to hurry us out.

The award winning listing on the menu for the lamb tikka set my expectations pretty high. It was good, no doubt, but I expected a bit more. The naan parseme(?) was excellent. Overall a good experience.

Certainement un de nos restaurants favoris. Nous avons adorés. Nous avons pris l'entrée avec Le plat et c'était copieux. Le service était rapide et serviable.

Fantastic food. Basic restaurant like all others along Brick Lane but fabulous meal and and a buzzing atmosphere. Staff friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend. We will return.

Cela fait plusieurs fois que mon mari et moi venons dans ce restaurant et nous sommes toujours aussi bien accueillis. Le service est impeccable, La nourriture proposée l'est également.

Good atmosphere, friendly staff. Disappointed with the food, especially after reading the good reviews and awards that this restaurant supposedly had won. Have eaten better meals from my local takeaway.

Food rather disappointing, I expected it to be much more exciting, but it was little different from many other better indian restaurants in London which charge considerably less. Staff were OK but offered no help with selection from the menu. I think Brick Lane restaurants are over-rated and expensive.

Great night. Good food. Good value for money. Friendly staff. Will come back again. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Wonderful experience. Had a lovely time dining at Aladin. Very busy Restaurant, good that we booked in advance! Great atmosphere and the food was lovely

Good atmosphere. Friendly service. Food was OK but nothing special. Lamb chops were really chewy and too vinegary. Main was huge but nothing special. It says it was award winning. ...but so did every curry house on brick lane! !!

We love this place and had another great meal thanks to good advice from our wait staff. Enjoyed two of the chef's specialties--nice and spicy the way we like it. Thanks!

Crowded and noisy we got put in the restaurant next door Not great decor but the waiters were good Everyone got crammed into the top floor and the bottom floor was empty it would have been better to have given people more space
