What happened after Food Paradise? 2 episodes

Food Paradise, Season 3, Episode 3

On Food Paradise's "Hot & Spicy Paradise" (S3E3), the show featured Brick Lane Curry House, an English-style curry house on East 6th Street in Manhattan's East Village, part of the strip known as Curry Row, according to Tripadvisor and Wikipedia. The restaurant served British-Indian dishes such as chicken tikka masala and aloo gobi and was known for phaal, a curry advertised as extremely hot, according to Tripadvisor. A Yelp listing updated 2026-06 marks the restaurant as permanently closed. (Note: an initial Google Places 'LOCATED' match pointed to a similarly named Jersey City, NJ business at 136 Newark Ave; that is a different business and was disregarded — a 2026-09-08 web search confirmed the featured restaurant is the East Village, NYC original.)

Man v. Food, Season 1, Episode 09 Aired

Man v. Food's "New York, NY" episode (S1E09), which aired 2009-01-21, featured Brick Lane Curry House's British-style Indian curry menu at the restaurant's East Village, Manhattan location. Brick Lane Curry House operated from several East Village storefronts over roughly 23 years, including addresses on East 6th Street, Second Avenue, and eventually 79 Second Avenue, according to EV Grieve (2025-01-14). That report said the 79 Second Avenue location had closed, and co-owner Sati Sharma told the outlet the brand's Jersey City, New Jersey location remains open, with a new outpost planned for Montclair, New Jersey, while any return to Manhattan remained undecided. No dated source confirms which specific East Village address the restaurant occupied at the time of the January 2009 broadcast.
