Here's an idea, why not create a Bengali Thali day. Each vendor could serve directly from their shopfront door to create a buzz and with some bengali music blasting really promote the beautiful food. Would be easy enough to create a buzz on social especially with your great channel. Big family day, all welcome. Educate the masses and create new customers to make sure of tradition fruition! Love your work as always mate all the best from Scotland. P.S. tried shatkora for the first time after watching your vid. Unbelievably good!

[@emmanuelapac3315]

This is brilliant, thank you for giving me an idea. I'll be visiting Brick Lane. Gram Bangla is on my to visit list. I'll even try that Chai Tea. Keep up inspiring, sharing and informing us with your cooking. I love all foods especially curries. God bless.

I was born relatively close to Brick Lane but live in Ireland now. A couple of years ago I visited Brick Lane as a matter of urgency with my wife and son as I had heard the the restaurant numbers were dropping sadly. We ate in Graam Bangla. The waiter took our large and varied order without writing anything down. I was convinced he would get something wrong. He didn't! I was so impressed - but I continued to be impressed with the quality of the food and also the friendliness of the restaurant. There seemed to be conversations going on between all tables and the staff - and we were very much included. Lovely food and fantastic atmosphere - it was like a big family dinner gathering! Such a shame restaurant numbers are dropping - I just hope it can be a well managed transition into something even better (that's a tough one) as the Cllr suggested it will be. Thanks for all the videos - they are superb.

I worked at the brewery in Brick Lane all through the 80's. Your description of the kebabs in a puri with red sauce brought it all flooding back. We used to buy those for lunch for about 50p each. A favorite restaurant (well cafe really as had vinyl floor tiles and formica tables) was the 'Nazrul' because it was so cheap but the dishes were so authentic. I miss those days. Love your channel :

[@dronezoneessex5551]

Back in the late 80s and early 90s used to frequent the Lahore Kebab house on Commercial Road. Back then it was a small little place. We used to wait in our car to be called to a table. Loved the Lamb Kofte curry and enjoyed with plenty of roti bread and chappatis. Now the place has taken over the whole building.

[@JB-Thatisme]

Same thing is happening in Manchester, Latif. Our curry mile (Rusholme) was full of curry houses..it's mainly Middle Eastern/Shawarma restaurants now. I'd imagine with the younger generations going to college/University..they are going down different career paths and not wanting to take over the family businesses ? Leaves no option but to sell up. Great video..the food looks 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@betrousaltaweel]

Yep. Heard quite a few people from south Manchester say Curry Mile is now the Shisha Mile. Used to be little Punjab now it’s Kurdistan

[@hassymiia6267]

Whose to blame? Ok der gens mostly were arrogant af, not teaching the younger ones from 2000s well. The chefs are snobby af, inside the kitchen its full of bad talks and village mentality

[@hassymiia6267]

BAKCBITTING is the downfall of curry houses. Youngsters get scared how the mentality is inside. Hence why no new gens wants to go deep into it other than waiter job on weekends as work experience or pocket side money.

[@SamadPenCo.]

@@hassymiia6267 So true! Experienced this myself when i was a kitchen porter at my uncle's restaurant. There were regular arguments between the head chef and the tandoori chef. So much tension in the kitchen!

[@ventureroots]

Before I left Manchester in 2008 I could see the transition starting to happen. Going to Wilmslow road was amazing as a kid and one of the reasons I'm obsessed with Indian / Punjabi food now.

Someone needs to bring back them kebab rolls with the red onion sauce from sweet & spicy and make them exactly the same you would make a killing, when I think of brick lane that’s what I remember it by, childhood memories I’ve been wanting one since they closed and everyone else that tried to copy it just isn’t the same. Does anyone who’s tried one of these kebab rolls know where I can buy one from?

[@ShamusAli30]

Went down South for a football match all the way from Rochdale, we dined at Gram Bangla cooked by celebrity chef Attik. Gotta admit, it was the best food we ever tasted, every dish was out of this world especially the borthas.👌😋 👏👏

Dude,probably the best channel for the genre ESPECIALLY for BIR,which is important for me as I'm an Expat Sth Londoner living in Edmonton Canada and tbh it's not the same here,I'm not sure whether it's that they dont have the Chefs I'm really not sure.Having said that please keep up the good work as it's a link to my homeland of Brittania:0) And here's an idea for you to create more content.Try reaching out to places outside of the main cities.Before I emigrated I lived in a Leafy stock broker belt village called Lingfield in East Surrey nr Gatwick Airport.It has a superb restaurant called The Bengal Village,the owner was always complaining he couldn't get the Chefs from abroad eh

About 8 years ago I fulfilled an ambition to get some food on Brick Lane. Forty odd years of Bradford curries and my expectations were very high. I can’t remember the restaurant that we went to but it was such a disappointment. So bland. Dry fish, that weird bright red chicken and a couple of quid for a chapatti that looked suspiciously like the little sweet ones that supermarkets sell. The cost was outrageous too. Then you go outside and almost get mowed down by some tool with a massive beard on a unicycle.

I’m a Bengali and have been to a restaurant in Brick Lane with my wife, The restaurant looked well presented outside however the food was disgusting and the service was really really bad and I have never been to any restaurant in Brick lane ever since because of the awful experience!! Most of the restaurant owners did NOT improve their food, service and most annoyingly they did not STOP calling the customer into their restaurant so this is why they deserved to be out of the restaurant business for good honesty!!

Bro I loved to watch this vid lol you cook the way I do you just know what tastes good an throw it in like it's nothing my friends of old used to think I used to use store naught pastes an stuff till a group of friends saw how I cook then at some point it was let slip I was a chef for Marriott hotels but I never had any complaints although some of my English friends tend to think my Indian cooking and Caribbean food can be a bit too hot lol but I just cook normal like back home in Mauritius our cooking is quite spicy food there's a lot of curry influence and Caribbean cooking stems from the African desent of Caribbean people cos back home we cook the same way but it's great seeing propper curry being cooked not the typical balti and jalfraxi stuff designed for English people personally I like cooking a Madras but I always add chilli bay leaf cloves and pimento it kinda tastes like a vindaloo but way better an I do that too I use either hip bone or cos foot because the marrow is what makes the sauce thick an velvety but I only do that when I want to cream the sauce mostly I just reduce the liquid down so the spices are more paste like when it's cooked but you cooked that beef the way I cook curry goat only instead of foot I use the hip bone and leg bone marrow in the sauce same thing esentialy .. another way is to use the oxtail/ cow tail because of the marrow but also the jelly I've the spinal chord nerves when cooked down is very much like when u use cow foot or the hip bone for the marrow it just makes the sauce flavourfull and velvety
