N1 Grill & Curry House

Head down Roman Road in Bethnal Green and you'll find N1 doing what it does best: turning out generous plates of tandoori and curry without any pretence. The kitchen knows its way around a grill, and the reviews speak for themselves—4.8 out of 5 from over 150 people suggests they're not messing about. It's the kind of place where locals keep coming back, not because it's Instagram-famous, but because the food is genuinely good and the prices won't bankrupt you. Order the grilled meats if you're there, but their curries are equally solid.
