Curry Dude hits New York

It's been a while since I last posted, I was in New York for the past week with no Internet. However, I did get myself some curry. I was on the lower east side where I literally stumbled across Brick Lane Curry House.


So I go in with my girlfriend to try their cuisine. There were various curry houses on the street, but I went to Brick Lane for nostalgic purposes. As we were seated, the table next to us are all drinking milk. Weird I thought and when their dishes came out, they timed themselves and scarfed it down. Even more weird. This was then followed by sweating profusely but then are awarded a free beer and a certificate of accomplishing their task. I was utterly confused. Turns out Brick Lane Curry House offers the hottest curry in the U.S, and has been seen on Man vs. Food. I've included a clip so you all will have a better understanding of what goes down at this curry house.


Since I didn't feel like entering the world of pain, I ordered a lamb Bhuna. Which was the best curry dish I've ever had! The lamb was marinated in the sauce and extremely tender, went well with my water and my wine. My girlfriend ordered the chicken Madras, which she preferred to the Bhuna (at least the sauce) while I still couldn't help but love the Bhuna. However both were amazing with the naan bread. Overall Brick Lane is a top notch place, even better than the curry I got in the real Brick Lane area... shhhh, don't tell anyone I said that. If you're in the New York area, I definitely recommend checking it out. If you are wondering what Bhuna and Madras are, I'll explain what those dishes are in detail in my next post.

Until then,
Curry Dude
