Housed in Limehouse’s Mosaic development, Veranda deserves a big hand for offering consistently good service & food that’s a little different from the norm. The usual rundown of ‘curry house’ dishes is just the ticket for takeaways, but it’s worth trying something more unusual if you’re eating in. The waiters have been known to give ‘off-menu’ tips, but there’s always plenty more to tempt: duck is a good call (either grilled in the tandoor or cooked with coconut, chilli & orange zest), likewise precisely timed salmon fillet with fresh spinach & a gently spiced masala sauce. Veranda’s stylish interiors are a cut above the local competition, so you should expect to pay a little over Brick Lane prices. Service is ‘spot-on’ & fans also praise the eclectic wine list (from £14).
