Curry Houses & Boozers
With the move down to Dubai coming close, I need to find new eating and drinking establishments. Will be living at the back of IBN Battuta / Disco Gardens. I'm aware of the Jebel Ali Recreation Club thingy which is fine for an after work pint, but not really where I'd take the wife for drinks or food (although the food is fine there).
Closest boozers I can take the mrs too? How about for a curry? I'm a real fussy bastard and much prefer the British version of Indian grub rather than the the local/traditional incarnations. I've read that "Brick Lane" is supposed to be pretty good - any feedback from BErs? We also went to "Khazana" a couple of times and quite like it, however it's the other side of Dubai so not likely to be heading there very often. Any suggestions? Cheers, Brian |

Brick Lane is good for sure, as is Brit Balti.

Do you want a licensed curry place? I have never heard a decent word about Brick Lane though I haven't tried it myself. We used to use curry box for delivery until this week when Hungry Tiger opened in Al Barsha :thumbsup:

Preferably licensed, however we're used to separating the food from drink since being here, so providing it falls under the category of "British Indian Food", it's good.

Ibn Battuta gate hotel, plenty of lovely watering holes and bargain basement evening brunch on Thursday and Friday.

Interesting - where about though? I've been in once, and the only place I could see was ground floor and looked more like a cafe (we sat outside and had a beer). Are there other boozers in there?
