curry houses

Spiced cuisine eateries

Curry houses are restaurants serving Indian, Pakistani, or Bangladeshi cuisine, particularly in Britain where the term originated.

The phrase evokes a specific type of establishment—often modestly decorated, serving anglicized versions of South Asian dishes like tikka masala and vindaloo: We grabbed a late-night curry at one of the curry houses on Brick Lane.
