Curry Leaf East

Determined to stand out from the crowd, Curry Leaf East makes an immediate impact with its high ceilings & suave, elegant design – note the imposing wooden ‘gateway’ arch that leads to the rear of the restaurant. Don’t expect the standard line-up of curry house staples, either: the menu deals in the likes of mussels masala, lamb sula (with an Indian rum sauce) & machli amritsari (deep-fried fish), before moving into the realms of salmon tikka, roast lamb laziz or xacuti chicken (with poppy seeds & Kashmiri chillis), all backed by the usual veggie sides, breads & a functional drinks selection. Dedicated fans continue to be impressed, & Curry Leaf East’s air-con must surely be one of the most powerful in London – perfect for that Indian summer…
