About

About Aladin

Aladin opened its doors on Brick Lane in 1979, making it one of the longest-standing curry houses on a street synonymous with South Asian cuisine. Its founders drew on the culinary traditions of Bangladesh, India and Pakistan to create a broad menu anchored by balti and tandoori cooking — two styles that have defined Brick Lane dining for generations.

The restaurant has outlasted dozens of competitors by keeping its kitchen focused on quality over gimmick. Dishes such as the Lamb Blast — a richly spiced house signature — and the fiery Lamb Naga have become regular orders for Londoners who know the area well. The unlicensed policy (patrons are welcome to bring their own wine or beer) has long been part of the charm, with a neighbouring off-licence even offering a 20% discount to diners.

By 2021 EasyJet Traveller magazine named Aladin one of the top three curry houses on Brick Lane, and Google reviewers have since awarded it a 4.8 rating across more than 16,000 reviews — placing it comfortably in the top 1,100 restaurants in a city of more than 35,000 listed venues. The restaurant is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner, and accepts collection and delivery orders through Uber Eats.
