I'd be happy to help arrange a "Maseratis in London" event. It'd be hilarious to have a stream of us filing up Brick Lane....

Brick Lane and Commercial Road were our default Friday lunch destinations back in the late eighties. It's where I lost my curry cherry.

Brick Lane curry houses are massively over rated. The best curry house I know is in Commercial Road.
The Lahore Kebab House. Absolutely awesome. You have to get you beers from the shop over the road as its not licensed.
It's filled with Indians so it must be good.

Me+missues prefer Needoo's on New Road, off Commercial Road. Kebabs are better and their chops way better. Tayyab's overrated and now a tourist trap as is much of Brick Lane, although Brick Lane DOES have the beyond ironic Celeral Killer Cafe. We have a hipster infestation issue still in E1.

(And gven it's called Lahore, I'd suggest they're Pakistani, not Indian: just sayin'....)

That said, it is FUN driving the GT down Commercial Road, mostly as it's about the only road in E1 that's NOT got speed bumps. I live at the Limehouse end. Commercial Road - Commercial Street - Old Street - City Road - Goswell Road - Pentonville - Westway - A40 - M40 - M25 - A30 is my daily commute.

Mark - I don't think that having Indians in a curry house is automatically a sign of it being good. I've been served by Indians in lots of curry houses that were distinctly average.

Lol! The Indians in there were paying customers!

I'm glad you got the joke. After I pressed "post" I panicked that my message might have been misconstrued. Relief.

For a less multiculturally complex East End option, we could always just hoon around Canary Wharf....Or the Rotherhithe tunnel. Repeatedly.
