Eastern Eye Balti House is an Indian and Bangladeshi restaurant at 63A Brick Lane in Spitalfields. Opened in 1992 and now under its current ownership, it occupies a prominent corner near Princelet Street and continues the long curry house tradition associated with this part of East London.
The kitchen draws on dishes from across the Indian subcontinent, with particular attention to flavours associated with the north east frontier. Balti preparations, familiar curries and contemporary house recipes can be adjusted for different preferences, allowing diners to choose both the style and intensity that suit them.
The tandoor produces chicken or lamb tikka, mixed grills, lamb chops, shashlik, paneer and marinated king prawns. Seafood choices include Bengali fish masala, tandoori salmon and king prawns cooked with coriander, mustard, coconut, fennel or fresh chilli, adding variety beyond meat based dishes.
Rice, naan, vegetable sides and chutneys make it easy to assemble a balanced shared table, while set menus and early dining offers provide a concise route through the selection. The restaurant also supports reservations, takeaway and late dining, making it a flexible Brick Lane choice for visitors and local groups.
