ALADIN BRICK LANE

Aladin Brick Lane is like stepping into a time machine — if that time machine was filled with spicy aromas and colorful decor. Ian Milne popped in for a birthday treat and found the food top-notch, while service was attentive and friendly. It’s not just a place to eat; it’s an experience. Rachel Tari was equally thrilled, thanks to Jack’s superb service and a menu that doesn’t mess around.

But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Some diners found the food mediocre at best. M.M.R. called it a tourist trap, and let’s face it, no one wants to be that sucker. The lamb samosas didn’t cut it, and the shrimp “blast” had a strong smell. So, if you’re looking for a vibrant atmosphere and a bit of spice, Aladin has you covered — just check your expectations at the door. ✅
