Authentic Bangladeshi cuisine is finger licking delicious as well as super healthy! I’m so happy to see her succeed at 60+. That’s inspiring.

Proud to feel Bangladeshi food represent in USA, Love from Bangladesh...

[@user-pj4lg2hh7x]

এই মা এবং মেয়ের জন্য গর্বিত। আমরা এটি খেয়েছি এবং এটি অত্যন্ত সুস্বাদু, বাংলাদেশী খাবার সত্যিই কম মূল্যের। অব্যাহত সমর্থনের জন্য টনিকে ধন্যবাদ। আবুধাবি.

Their dawat menu is priced at $90 per person for 8 items, it isn’t a fine dining place, how is that affordable? Their food is really good and the customer service is the best part about them, I usually do the take out from them but I do wish they worked on pricing for sit down menu so that more people feel encouraged to visit 😊

Finally the correct representation of our cuisines 🎉

[@safin13kamrul71]

Bangladeshi food is really underrated.

[@kuddusjajira8392]

Many Bangladeshi unique things overlapped and ultimately hidden by India and Indian culture. I am a Bangladeshi- American . when someone asked me where are you from, I say" Bangladesh" ...he / she react as if they never heard of this country. , I am not bothered by that reaction at all. I just think he or she just never went to school . Every middle school, high school taught Geography. BTW I am from Florida , I will visit this restaurant very soon.

[@sayandutta904]

Be bothered by that! :3

[@jesminakther4012]

[@Mmbmilon]

The reporter really great 👍

[@JaiPravu88]

I started to visit Korai Kitchen prior to Covid when they had the buffet and it was amazing, the price point was reasonable too. Since Covid hit, they returned on take out basis & I moved so now I just do the occasional takeout. As a Bangladeshi American I am really happy for this family and their achievement but the dawat menu at $90/pp is a bit steep for average people, I do wish the management would look into it and reconsider

What is the difference between Indian Bengali cuisine and “Bangladeshi” cuisine?🤔

[@hassanimtiaznadvee3164]

the use of onion and spices, totally different

[@1525boy]

@@hassanimtiaznadvee3164 Why would it be “totally different?” They are both Bengali. What you are saying makes no sense.

[@hellsehergauro5817]

In Bangladeshi cuisine, people use spices lightly. Unlike west Bengal cuisine, Bangladeshi people use onion in almost every dish. But I don't think, it is "totally different". The people of both places are basically the same ethnicity and culture (if you ignore religious part).

[@1525boy]

@@hellsehergauro5817 There are PLENTY of Muslims in West Bengal and Assam. How is “Bangladeshi” cuisine different than the Muslim cuisine of West Bengal?🤔

[@arijit020]

There’s nothing called Bangladeshi cuisine …

You got a part of Bengal does not mean you can claim its heritage, cultures, and foods as your own.

[@mridul7922]

Yes there is nothing called Bangladeshi cusine, but there is Chatgaiya cuisine, Dhakaiya Cuisine, Noakhaila Cuisine, Sylheti, North Bengal, Pahari existed.
