That would be the Agra, 135 Whitfield Street. It is darn good.

I agree about Drummond street - it was one of the first areas of Indian immigration in London back in the 50s. It's the thinking man's Brick Lane and right by your area. I haven't actually dined there but hear Masala Hut is nice - the others probably are too.

Another vote for Drummond street from me, much better than brick lane, and a short walk from where you are staying.

BRick lane has gone downhill in recent years. It's aimed at tourists these days with barkers outside the restaraunts trying to tempt people inside.

Used to go there regularly as a student as the Union Bar was a 2 minute walk away. Some of the best food I had there was in the transport cafe style places. Formical tables and flourescent lighting. This was 20 years ago now though

You must have gone to the same uni as me then

I hear very good things about Thattukada in East Ham though it might be a bit of a trek!

rooburoo in Islington. Nice food. May be a bit out of the way though.

If only a curry breakfast was socially acceptable...

Not had much luck at Brick Lane, most places Bangladeshi and pretty mediocre.

Don't think I've ever been there sober

Me too. And I've got a microwaveable Chicken Balti in the fridge. Must resist!

There are some truly god-awful curry houses around the Kings Cross/St Pancras area.

However there is a great little place tucked behind Warren Street tube. I think it's Whitfield Place. I know some contractors who swear by it.

Try Benares Michelin star, 3 stops on the Victoria line.

There is a great collection of South Indian curry houses on Drumond St just behind (north) of Euston Square Tube. They have been there for years and get good reviews.

Bear in mind though that they are vegetarian, though no less tasty for it!

Saturday night (played in band once with Terry and have met Nik a few times)

Friday night (this'll bring back some memories, Who Killed Bambi as well Sounds Of The Suburbs)
