The lamb vindaloo at Brick Lane Curry House Too could be your next bad habit. It’s not just the spiciness and tanginess that you should expect of any good vindaloo that makes it so great. It’s the overall flavor and texture of the sauce, which includes generous chopped fresh cilantro and a touch of fresh ginger, that makes this fiery concoction brisker than you might anticipate. This is no diet dish by any means. You’ll feel very full afterwards, but the fundamental flavor strains of hot, sour and fresh make it go down easily. Warning: They pull no punches on the heat with this dish, so this is only recommended for people who like — or need — spicy food.
