| Indian restaurant in [[Locale Whitechapel|Whitechapel]], just off Commercial Road. A sign in the window seen in November 2008 invited customers to bring their own booze (don't know if there's a corkage charge). |

Indian restaurant in Whitechapel, just off Commercial Road. Also does takeaway and delivery; deliveries can be ordered online from Just-Eat, from Hungry House, and from Urbanbite.
Note that it's on Cannon Street Road over in the East End, not Cannon Street in the City. It also has no connection with the Tiffinbites chain.
Kake and bob tried the takeaway option in September 2008. We started with a few poppadoms (50p each) and dips (£2 for a selection of four). The poppadoms were certainly better quality than average; shame they'd mostly shattered on the way to us. The dips/chutneys were also above-average; Kake's favourite was the very fresh-tasting tomato one. The yoghurt-based chutney was pretty runny, and ended up mostly being eaten mixed with rice.
Tandoori lamb chops (£4.30 for a starter portion of four chops) had good spicing, but one of them was rather overcooked. Generally fine, though.
A main dish of keski maach (£6) was advertised as "tiny freshwater fish from the Sylheti village region, slow-cooked with grated onions and orange peel" - the fish were indeed very tiny, only a centimetre or so long. Kake was underwhelmed by this dish (though I didn't try any until it had cooled down significantly - might have been better hot).
A side dish of brinjal bhaji (£3.75) was refreshingly different from the oil slick you normally get when you order this in a British curryhouse - the aubergines were julienned, and it wasn't oily at all. Similar to the aubergine curries Kake cooks at home, in fact.
Kake's verdict: Will order from here again, and will try more of the vegetable dishes next time; although from the menu they sound boring, the aubergine dish suggests they actually aren't.
