As you'd expect from the title, Indian favorite Brick Lane Curry House features a wide variety of curries such as tikka masala, vindaloo, korma and saag, in all ranges of spiciness. Successfully tackling the notoriously spicy Phaal curry (which requires that you verbally assume responsibility for any physical repercussions) will earn you a spot on the "Phaal of Fame." From the restaurant:
"Located on a block of Sixth Street inundated with Indian cuisine, Brick Lane Curry House differentiates itself from its neighbors with a bit more flash and an English-Indian menu. The bright purple fluorescent sign announcing the restaurant's name contrasts with the coolly elegant interior, and the whole enterprise is modeled not after U.S. Indian restaurants, but after the curry houses of Brick Lane in London, where curries have replaced crumpets as the national meal. The menu, therefore, is lighter on tandooris and khurmas and heavier on kebabs and robust curries."
