A Great Indian Curry and a Colourful Walk

[@bigcee3338]

Oh this video takes me back to 1976, Soon as the Mercurial DJ mentioned Liverpool Street Station i knew i was in for a treat. Seeing the Wordly known ' Dirty Dicks' just brought back so many memories. Also seeing the wonderful buildings painted up was a nice surprise, and also one of my great friends from Kilkenny the Yorkshire Canary man namely Ollie Quinn has a shop named after him there too... Onto the fayre @ Sheba , God Almighty what a spread !! The Boy done well to be fair, all looked the bizz, you can always rely on the Dazzler to tuck into anything spicy. And as i write this im salivating at that lamb shank, superbly presented. Bad hair day or not the Boy comes up trumps everytime, all part and parcel of the DJ image. This was an Epic vlog i enjoyed it just as much as Darren filmed and edited it and a doggy bag to boot.. 10/10 Regards Big Cee Thailand

[@DarrenJohn]

Wind swept and all fooded out Charles, a crazy amount tried and tested A great area from Liverpool St station onto Old Spitalfield. A short walk but full of sights to behold. Stay safe

[@susanhinchcliffe8048]

On the bone more taste who remembers Cliftons brick lane 80s .?

[@susanhinchcliffe8048]

You remember fantastic restaurant

[@kezzacollinson621]

Omg, that all looked FANTASTIC, but Indian food is always number 1 in my book! Always makes my mouth water when you do Indian vlogs, defo need a trip to the barbers though Darren 😂😍

[@Nick-ed1ru]

Living the dream, my friend! Living the dream. You must pinch yourself at times. Where did it all go right! Good luck to you. You are having some sort of Indian summer. And long may it continue. Enjoy your content, and look forward to hopefully many more episodes into the future. Especially with your sidekick, Lee.😎👏🍷

[@mikewilliams4499]

My word, extra naan, lamb shank, chicken, pilau rice, Bengal lobster. If those are a couple of small dish tasters, then I’m a yak. I was certain Darren would go for the Bollywood Blast. Congrats on hitting 20k subs👍👏

[@DarrenJohn]

Nice one Mike

[@emmarogerson]

Ha … we forget don’t we that our stomachs are an actual physical space for food and once full the desire to eat what you still think you want and see in front of you quickly becomes an impossible … and very frustrating task!! Still … they gave you a goody bag … thank goodness we can do it all over again … and again … cos food is such a pleasure Darren! 🍲🍤🍗🍹

[@northbankgooner6126]

Lamb on the bone is the most flavourful curry you can eat, we always cook it that way at home. The marrow adds a real depth to the taste.

[@reedsfromleeds6347]

Oh my god Darren I couldn’t believe all that food came after you’d eaten the meal you ordered, it looked like a banquet fit for a king never mind a Queen

[@brianterry8317]

Yep; its defo a....'' jeez or oh my Lord''. Top class fodder

That meal looked fabulous Darren.👍👍👍

[@lawro04]

Yeah, pretty exceptional food & fantastic hospitality as well it seems. 👍

[@trudyjohnson7893]

Couldn’t face all that food, how good of them to pack it up to take home. Looked good but the lamb tikka seemed a bit tough to cut. Another superb video Darren you are such a winner

[@albertboulderwardthe3rd590]

Wow, that Lamb Shank looked awesome.

[@crawfordmartin5958]

Used to stay in old montague street years ago. Nice to to see good Indian restaurants again on Brick Lane again.

[@kenwright4201]

Looked lush mate. Will definitely be in brick lane to sample the delicious Indian food very soon.

[@phillipconway]

Watched you for a long time Darren and you love your spice as I live in Thailand you certainly spice my life up I watch you everyday and your reviews are brilliant keep it up mate phil conway

[@samhenwood5746]

Wow 😮

[@anthonyobersteller1556]

Darren the food looked out of this world off the charts.

[@leviddesign4537]

Looks spot on.

[@MrRea112]

Love the way you give sufficient time showing the excellent menu so one can see everything on offer

[@colinrattray816]

Wow, I am well impressed and need to visit both the Queen and King of Brick Lane, very impressive!

[@kizzyfarrell9340]

Very nice review darren

[@lesliecarter8322]

Nice little walking tour first up...Big menu, reasonable prices, good service. You had a heap of food, to me it all looked colourful, nice presentation and quality ingredients. Enough tucker in the doggy bag to last a while, stick some in the freezer. then put in Chef Mike to re heat. From me a 8.5.

[@garycadle5487]

Great vlog daz

Great video Darren what a feast the food spot on. I don't know how you manage to eat so many meals

[@DarrenJohn]

Me neither

[@MikeFarrell1962]

Next time I in London I will visit here and when I do I will invite you along…great food and vlog!!!!!

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

Oh Darren, it’s like torture mate. It’s teatime and I’ve starving now and we have to go to the supermarket before we can think about tea. That looked splendid food.

[@toopoos]

Blimey fella what a great load of scran you had there, I was starting to get worried that they'd held you hostage and was about to send a team in to rescue you. 😂

[@lynneseaward1315]

Gosh Darren, that was a lot of food! I was feeling bloated watching you!😂😂😂

[@krissymarklewis1793]

I was helping out with my mate's art installation just down the road from Shoreditch once. Everyone left and there were all their glasses of wine on the tables so I helped myself. I was a bit twisted by then so went to Whitechapel screaming at people to tell me the identity of Jack the ripper. God only knows how I got back to the hostel I was staying in that night hahaha!

[@krissymarklewis1793]

The whole place just has a vibe of it's own.

[@keiranhyre750]

Food looks delicious

[@hawkinsn31]

You will go "POP" Darren !!

[@billmagowan1492]

Some amazing dishes on that menu, the naga ones especially! And the portions were generous too, all looked so well prepared, tasty etc, I was salivating sitting here….especially when the taster dishes arrived!

[@christopherwarner6590]

My wife's birthday today. Getting to Shoreditch for midday. Couple of cocktails then off for a curry! Looking likely to be City Spice. Thanks for the video DJ.

[@DarrenJohn]

Have a great day 👍🙂

[@sarahchilds279]

Very colourful vlog coming to big smoke 💨 this weekend my friends taken me to moulin rouge

[@DarrenJohn]

Awesome, have fun

[@barneyshamrock1]

After you had your food I thought you were filming someone else's table, that was mad. The lamb shank looked great as did the chicken, but more than the great review on the restaurant your enthusiasm for London comes through more and more, and the Colour walkers were great, mad as a box of frogs, but great. Where next?

[@smithyc2051]

Absolutely love lamb tikka. Food looked banging DJ

[@861ally]

Loved the look on the waiters face when I ordered the Bollywood blast with xtra chillis. First class food & service

I spent nearly 20 years working on Bishopsgate, and many of the Brick Lane restaurants you have reviewed, have been part of my lunch/dinner during that time. Awesome video, love it!

[@DarrenJohn]

Thanks for sharing John

[@geourgiou]

Oh wow, food looks absolutely amazing. Generous massive portions, they certainly didn't go stingy with the portions.

[@LeeJohn70]

Darren back in the 70's and 80's whilst living in "Straty" Stratford to everyone. Trains to Clacton etc would not stop at Stratford so you would have to get a train in to Liverpool Street and then get a Train that passed Stratford to Clacton etc The same use to apply on the way home, the train would go past Stratford to Liverpool Street then we would have to catch a train to Stratford (A right Kurfuffle thosedays" Trains Stop at Stratford nowadays. Your Curry looked nice. It was great seeing Spitalfields as well Look forward to your next stream Darren Best wishes Lee 👍🏻👍🏻😁

[@tonyinit8488]

Sheba looks a good spot... after seeing this I'll have to get an Indian this weekend. Great vlog Darren 👍

18.11 the bloke walks past and sticks his tong out ha ha cheeky bugger. Great video and that food looks perfectly cooked. You can tell the difference when the chef has a real passion for the food he serves. Bet you did not eat for a few hours after that.

[@DarrenJohn]

The rest of the day without eating Mark - crazy amount

[@kevinhoughton9134]

Fantastic vlog Darren on my favourite food, Curry! Nice gesture from them with the taster menu, glad to see you took it home in a doggy bag. Just wondering which restaurant you prefer out of the two? On looks alone it would be City Spice for me although Sheba's offerings did look good. Love the walkabout bits beforehand you're doing now.

[@DarrenJohn]

The King of Brick Lane for me Kevin

[@chloewilletts9193]

Brilliant curry

[@kjm5155]

Darren mate…that lamb looked top notch……Proper scran!…..and btw….my old man never left the house without a good helping of Brylcream…those locks of yours deserve the same 😂…all the best, Kenny.

Darren , I have just completed the glass facade at 135 ,155 Bishopsgate , it would be great if you could show What Eataly have to offer with there amazing food hall and restaurant.

[@DarrenJohn]

It's a great place Andrew - however, it is mainly snacks and deli. Not sure it's vloggable. I was involved with 100 Bishopsgate a while ago

Another great vid m8 i seem to allways watch your vids when im drunk wich is a big mistake as i m craving a curry but its 3am there all shut

[@andrewlaw]

Food looked great Darren but you didn't seem as enthused about Sheba as you do when in City Spice? It's difficult I know because certain restaurants do a better version of some dishes than others and vice versa. City Spice mushroom rice looks better to me tbh but Sheba bigger portion so swings & roundabouts.

[@pennyharrison536]

Wow Darren that food looked amazing,alot better than the salad I had lol, London has so much to offer it's an amazing place, I usually use tower bridge as the starting point and I can get to so many amazing places from there,

[@karengalley3669]

Seriously I can’t believe how much food you had on your table. As for tasters, they’re like big meals. Looked so good but I think you prefer City Spice. When I lived in Poplar I used to get it delivered from a place called The Gaylord which was on the IOD. It was delicious, don’t know if it’s still there.

[@DarrenJohn]

Correct Karen. 👍😊

The starter looks like a meal in itself 😋

[@depechem0demusic]

That lamb starter looked a tad tough when you were cutting into it-and slightly chewy??

[@thelmabrindley2369]

That was a LOT of food to bring you after you had already eaten your starter and main. I didnt think a taster was the whole dish. No wonder you had a bag full to take home.

I think it was Dr Johnson who said " If your bored of London. You're bored of Life". I've been away since 1989 but gotta agree there.
