Great service, fantastic food, incredible value. Take your own drink means it's even better value. Book in advance and get 20% off! Couldn't believe how good it was.
Overall good but had to wait a while for the main course to arrive. Food/Menu was very good and the bill was extremely reasonable. would deffo come back
We had really great time. Service and food were great. A bit noisy but good if you want authentic indian cuisine with a group of friends.
Best curry I've had in a long time. Haven't been back to Brick Lane since the 80s but this restaurant still retains it charm and vibrancy. Service is quick & friendly considering how busy they are.
Genuinely the most delicious curry I have ever eaten, I would definitely recommend eating here, especially for the vegetarian dishes. Just remember to bring a bottle of something as they don't serve alcohol.
Very noisy and cramped space, food was ok but nothing special. Also felt rushed, in and out in less than an hour. Overall, not impressed.
Lovely food and staff. Great evening our definitely recommend easy to get to and wasn't left to wait for ages for food and drinks. Very good
Excellent place to dine in. Had a fantastic time here, fantastic service and fantastic food! The award winning dish lamb tikka blast was amazing! Had to take some home before we left.
Another good meal at Aladin. Heaving as usual on a Friday night but courteous service in any event. Food and plates were really hot and the curries were tasty and of reasonable size. As they are non licenced, the staff will even go to the neighbouring offie to pick you up your beer! Recommended.
Food average, service terrible, understaffed, table by the door that gets blasted by cold air every few seconds when its opened. Moved from one restaurant to another. Avoid!
food was good and waiter attendance was excellent - ive given a lower rating on the basis a waiter dropped a hot lamb chop in my lap while dishing up (which happens) however did not offer any cloth or tissue to assist cleaning my trousers, left the chop on the floor while serving other tables and made no apology. I eventually had to ask a different waiter to remove the chop from the floor. Its a shame as the overall experience was good but attention to detail like this can damage your perception, plus I had taken guests from abroad in with e so didn't look good as I had recommended the resteraunt.
The restaurant was in total chaos with the staff shouting at each other and the customers. The carpets were filthy and the tables/chairs/banisters were all sticky. We were unaware there is no drinks licence so we had to go to the nearest shop to buy some beer. We had tables in the basement and since there were 7 of us we had to eat at a table for only 6 people so we were very cramped. The food was good when it arrived but nothing special. A sizzling meal was brought out of the kitchen and the whole basement area was cloaked in smoke which was horrid. When we were leaving the waiter gave us a 'discount', then asked for a tip and blocked the stairs. The manager heard this and there was a huge row about the tip and they were shouting at each other which continued out in the street. By this time we just wanted to leave the place. Not somehwere we would go again.
Amazing food. Curry I have never even heard of before! The service was also very good. Staff were friendly and even gave us two drinks on the house
Great food - one of the best - and thoroughly deserving of all the awards. But have scored it down because we were in a party of 10 and the wait for food was a little past acceptable, even for a Saturday evening. I would definitely return, but only with smaller groups.
The food was ok but the service was slow, not very attentive. We sat with finished plates in front of us for ages whilst tables around us were cleared, paid and left.
Absolute amazed with this Restaurant! Had a party of 25 booked in and we were not dissapointed! Everyone loved what they ordered, we had to order more after for takeaway. Worlds Best Curry House
One of the best in London for sure!!! This Curry house is the greatest curry i had in ages.. reminded me of the way my mum use to cook for me back in them days! Brilliant!
Loved it - great food, great atmosphere. Had to work a bit to get the 20% online discount promised, but they came through. Good place for a big group.
Great fresh flavours, very generous portions with plenty for doggy bags and incredible value as we booked on line and ate at 5pm so were given 40% off. Will definitely return.
Didn't actually get to go into aladin even though we booked and had to sit in a different sister resturant which needed a little TLC. Also had to request for 20% off as they didn't put it on the bill automatically. Food was good though.
One of the best in London! The food was delicious. One of the best i had in a long time.. The chicken Naga had a great taste to it with a lovely decor. The service was fantastic, really enjoyed a great night at Aladin!
Good honest lovely food - lively atmosphere and you can bring your own booze! We went on a Wednesday night around 1930 - very wise to book a table in advance.
My experience was lovely first time visiting with my family. I found the waiters very friendly and welcoming and was always checking to see how we are. Food was good too.
We visited Aladin last night and had a truly amazing meal! The portions were massive - we should have shared. The staff were friendly and efficient and the restaurant had a really comfortable buzz about it. We will be returning - thank you!
This was a great night, the food was delicous and the service very quick. We also got 20% off with our reservation so was good value
Brick Lane was recommended to us for great Indian food but I choose Aladin Brick Lane based on other reviews. You never know what to expect but we loved it. The food was great and the service was great. Something for everyone from mild to really spicy.
Over rated and living on the fact that it once appeared on BBC! A bit pricey for the quality of the food. Beware of the expensive popadoms!
Very friendly, efficient staff and service. Great value meal with a huge range of dishes of different prices and ability to make to your wishes with respect to making them a little hotter or milder. All the food tasted great, large portions!! Would certainly recommend this unlicensed restaurant on Brick Lane and will be visiting again. Prawn special (the most expensive one!) was delicious, huge and plentiful prawns and I added some extra heat....lovely!!
The restaurant had really friendly staff, great food and It was bring your own booze. You can't get any better than that. Would recommend to anyone
We go here regularly and they know us now. We always take a couple of bottles of wine, and are quite happy to let us sit until we've finished. We always go outside of the busy times though. The food is always good and the portions are very generous. We keep taking more and more people back and have never been disappointed.
As we were visiting the Truman Brewery, we thought we would have an Indian lunch in Aladin. We were not disappointed. The staff were very welcoming & seated us as quickly as possible as the restaurant was full. We only had to wait 5 minutes for a table & the staff were very attentive with our order. We had to wait a while for our food but when it arrived the aroma & taste was absolutely delicious! I have never tasted such a fresh and flavoursome chicken tikka masala and probably never will again unless I come back to Aladin - which, without doubt, I will!
I been living on Brick Lane for about 30 years now and funnily enough I don't normally like curry. However my friends from Asia came over for a visit and they really wanted a curry so they could compare it to the curries they get back home. So we decided to walk along brick lane centre of indian and Bangladeshi food to find a slap up curry. Eventually we came across Aladin. It was amazing. It totally made me love curry and I have decided to make it a monthly thing. The staffs especially Bodz and Manna were really welcoming and charming which made the vibe really fun. I would recommend the sizzling dishes as well as the chicken moducash, Thank you Aladin :)
Very busy restaurant so a bit of a wait for food, however very friendly staff and food well worth the wait. We would certainly return.
Absolutely amazing restaurant. One of the best in London! The atmosphere, food and service were brilliant. We visited on Sunday lunchtime, the restaurant was full, good that we booked in advance. The food was delicious especially the royal dish Chicken Tikka Blast! The service from Manna and Bodz were top class. Will definitely return again!
The BEST Curry House I have ever been too in Brick Lane...! Always 10 OUT OF 10.I recently took a group of 30 People for my Birthday and reserved the Private Party Room (which is known as the Executive Lounge). What a SPECTACULAR EVENING that was. The service was FANTASTIC as always and the Curry was MIND BLOWING!!!!!!!. Everyone enjoyed the evening and they are still talking about THE GORGEOUS CURRY. "ALADIN - WE ARE COMING BACK".
Good food friendly people lovely place but they do try and kick u out the min u done eating so u feel really rushed but overall nice
Excellent food & service, good discount for booking online and discount for beer up the road, from doorman. Got nicely busy. Good atmosphere. Highly recommended.
I went to Aladin with a group of friends and simply loved it. The curry is great, I loved the Tikka Masala and all my mates also enjoyed their dishes. The service was dazzling and the price was even better. Overal a fantastic place for good curry at a great price with the top level of service around that area...
Went for my birthday food was great. Service was very good. Just be aware you need to bring your own alcohol but there is a shop and few minutes walk away. Overall definitely worth a visit
Heaving when we arrived Had booked for 11 but no table ready when we arrived, however they managed to squash us in! Friendly service, good food and very reasonable.
Always a nice experience at Aladin Brick Lane, the food is really good. The waiting time for the food etc. could be a little shorter and my dish was a tiny little bit better the previous time, but overall, I can recommend the restaurant. :-)
Great lambs curry! A bit too noisy for us, this particlar Wednesday evening. Service was polite and attentive. We had a nice visit, but will be earlier next time.
Food was good but wasn't made aware before booking that they didn't have an alcohol licence. Was a bit awkward to send across to the local off licence for a beer.
Very accommodating to our large and rowdy group. Forgot to bring out a meal or two (understandable with 30+ people sharing). Nice staff, fun environment.
We were seated quickly but food was average. Samosas were overly greasy, and lamb was extremely tough- which is strange, for lamb. Service was fairly decent.
Very tasty, good-sized servings. We had 10 dishes plus rice and naan for a family of 7 and left completely stuffed! Just watch out for the staff who continually try to "upsell".
Staff were quite pushy when ordering trying to get us to order other more expensive dishes. Service was slow. Starter came out with the main. Discount not added to bill so had to ask for it. Disappointed after all the hype.
Top notch.. Aladin is bang on!! The best id say in London!! The taste of the curry was on point, excellent flavours.. really enjoyed it. The butter chicken and tandoori king prawn sizzling were amazing. Highly recomended.
Good food and fast considerate and friendly service.Would certainly recommend this excellent restaurant in Brick lane to anyone who want's a good Indian meal with good service.
Amazing food, great atmosphere AND BYOB. We even got 20% our bill by booking through Quandoo. It's the perfect place to go with a large group of people in central London.
