  • A Great Indian Curry and a Colourful Walk from Liverpool St Station to Brick Lane E1.
    As I make my way to Sheba in Brick Lane for some Indian cuisine, I have a browse in Old Spitalfield Market to find a colourful walk. A group of people calling themselves The Colour Walk - who love having their picture taken and socialising with everyone. A very uplifting social event.
    Arriving at Sheba Indian restaurant Brick Lane for a great garlic chicken bhuna curry and the ever popular mushroom rice - followed by a deluge of food tasting experiences including lobster, garlic naan bread, sizzling chicken and lamb shank.
    An Indian and Bangladesh food sensation
    The Queen of Brick Lane which neighbours The King of Brick Lane (City Spice)

    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 😂😍

    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.

    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

    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! 🍲🍤🍗🍹

    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!

    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.

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.

    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

    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.

By the way, I didn’t want to say anything but as you mentioned your ‘bad hair day’, may I suggest that as you have short back and sides, the next time you have a haircut, get the barber to take a bit off the top so it doesn’t fly all over the place and you’d look way better!!!
