"On the 170m walk up Brick Lane from the Premier Hub, this critically acclaimed restaurant was the only curry house not to harass me to eat, convincing me that passing the other 22 curry houses was worth it. Was it? The window is adorned with reviews like a heavyweight boxer’s trophy room (See images) with the diners inside tucking in , but is it really The King of Brick Lane”? They have a dedicated vegan menu (1st in Brick Lane) with a mix of traditional vegan specialties and plenty of plant based meat substitute dishes too (see menu) with a Bangladeshi Indian influence. [hidden link] A good measure of a older style trad restaurant is the Thali and it was up there with the best of the best. I’ve read why folk want it to be 5 stars and I couldn’t agree more on flavour alone. Shahi Sahakari Thali £18.95 Shahi Sahakari loosely translates as The vegan king . A thali style platter containing a mixture of uribeeshi biran, bombay aloo, begun daal gatta, chowle achar, chappati and rice… The Bombay Aloo had a warming comforting flavour and the potatoes intact but fluffy and soft. The Begun Daal Gatta was a stunning dish of lentils and aubergine (begun) garnished with a fine selection of herbs. This medium spiced curry really did wow me and I’d like it as a main. The Uribeeshi Biran is the beans of a a runnerbean (uribeeshi) which have been fried (biran) with onions and a blend of spices. The beans have bite and work well with the rice although drier than I’d imagined. The Chowle Achar was a surprise as it’s not listed on the Thali menu! The kabali chickpeas are pan cooked with mixed garlic, ginger, punch poron and blended with spread pickle, accompanied by a delicious thin sauce. They were cooked to perfection and with the chapati were second only to the daal as my favourite. The rice and chapati were nice but I had to order an extra chapati so I could ensure every bowl was wiped clean and finished. Not a morsel left. If I’m to be critical, it was expensive and I’d have preferred the Thali on a Thali plate with a little more rice and 2 chapatis, but I couldn’t fault the cooking."

Been here A LOT and it never disappoints. They've just updated their vegan menu and it's even better than before. Really impressive. Now includes a vegan chicken which is very good.

Came here last Saturday and the place was HEAVING! thought I would go in because if it is busy there must be something special about it! Lamb shank was divine and the people there were so nice. Would recommend but maybe book a table or something i don't know.

I am a vegan and happycow does not let me give this five stars as it also sells meat. However, the food is amazing and they cater for vegans so well! They have their own menu, which is GORGEOUS and the staff are all trained for it. Had the vegan thali what a delight. Highly recommend.

great vegan cuisine and a visit worth when booking a vegan Indian restaurant! also serves meat as its great as it can accommodate for the whole group! my meal really loved as the vegan pfeffer and house style 'bhuna (made with vegan no-meat pieces) was an excellent dish! the staff was friendly and friendly! will come back!

THIS RESTAURANT ACTUALLY CARES FOR VEGANS! Came in, they explained they had an award winning vegan menu just for vegans, gave us special vegan chutney trays for the poppadums, and all waiters even in a time of staff shortage, were trained on what veganism and any allergies actually meant for food. And then the food! OH MY GOD! It is clear why it is an award winning restaurant! Amazing amazing amazing vegan thali just superb! Highly highly recommend this new gem I have found,
