Initial impression is good! Clean restaurant, good atmosphere, friendly and quick service, appetisers good too.



However, a couple of our party had massive reservations about the actual curry (watery and flavourless as well as tough meat in their opinion).



Bring it's cheap and you can bring your own booze.

Nazrul is perhaps the best Indian restaurant that I have tried in my life. The food was very tasty and the service was okay. Nazrul is not licensed but you can buy your alcoholic beverage in one of the stores in Brick Lane.

Nazrul was the worst food and eating experience I've had in dozens of visits to Brick Lane restaurants with cramped seating and jostling, surly waiters who had absolutely no knowledge of any of the dishes on the menu when asked for advice. Nazrul also have tasteless naan bread, uninspiring rice and watery and poorly spiced main dishes, almost devoid of meat. The dishes were almost dragged out of our hands before we had finished and we had to ask for the bill four times before it arrived - never again!

Nazrul serves possibly the worst curry ever. Terrible service, up there with Won Keys, with dishes being plucked from your grasp, half-eaten. All four dishes tasted identical, clearly all sauces from the same slop bucket. If you fancy a laugh, order the stuffed naan and try to work out what it is stuffed with (nothing whatsoever). So bad it deserves a round of applause.

Nazrul is a great introduction to Brick Lane food. The only place that didn't try to shill you from out in the street! They didn't need to. Great food and service in a full house. Coupons for 10% off at the corner wine shop were a plus. Worth the trip.
