What Marlene L doesn't like about East is East Chai Lounge:
We've been long standing diners at East is East but no longer. We recently picked up some take out: a lamb roti roll and a squash eggplant roll. They both tasted the same of salt, to the exclusion of any other flavour. True of the soup also. If we had been dining in person, we would have sent it all back. Very disappointing.

Great atmosphere and beautiful interior! I always get the all you can eat Silk Road feast which smacks every time. Awesome deals if you go for lunch instead of dinner. There’s live music for some nights. And the complimentary soy chai milk is just perfect. My fav is the Mystic soup, it’s spicy and warm. So delicious!!!!
