The Famous Curry Bazaar is an Indian and Bangladeshi restaurant at 77 Brick Lane in Spitalfields. Established in the 1990s, it belongs to the long curry house tradition that helped define this part of east London. The contemporary dining room opens for lunch and continues late into the evening, accommodating ordinary meals, group reservations and nights out in the surrounding neighbourhood.
Vegetable samosas, onion bhaji, pakora and lentil soup provide familiar starting points, while meat and seafood starters extend the choice. Tandoori grills bring high heat and char to marinated ingredients before the curries arrive. Poppadoms, chutneys and pickles give a table contrasting crisp, sweet, sour and spicy elements at the beginning of the meal.
The main menu moves through creamy dishes, hotter curries, biryanis and regional house choices. Chicken, lamb, king prawns and vegetables can be paired with sauces of different intensity, making shared ordering a useful way to explore. Rice and fresh breads complete the table, while a substantial vegetarian section supports diners who do not eat meat.
Beer, wine and alcohol free drinks accompany both casual dinners and later bookings. Takeaway offers another way to use the kitchen, but the Brick Lane setting and relaxed service are important parts of the experience. Guests with allergies should speak with staff before ordering because nuts, dairy, gluten and other allergens may appear across sauces, breads and fried dishes.
