\"Whitecross_St_curry.jpg\"<\/a>I’ve been meaning for some time to blog about the wonderful curry van in Whitecross Street market, EC2<\/a>. The guys I work with must pay this place a visit at least two or three times a week and have now started to get to know exactly what will be on the menu each day.<\/p>\n

The van is run by a husband and wife team and serves up delicious vegetarian-only meals every weekday. A personal favourite of mine is the sag and sweetcorn which I believe makes an appearance on Tuesdays. For under \u00a33.50 you can get one of the specials, which usually consists of three types of curry, a portion of rice, chutney of your choice and a side order of samosas and bhajis covered in yoghurt and other goodies. Fantastic!<\/p>\n

Apparently they are opening a shop somewhere in Soho soon, so there will be more places to sample their home-cooked delights.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
