Experience authenticity with me in London | British Asian Food at its best | Bengali food

[@gemini1662]

About time, Bangladeshi food needs to highlighted to introduced to the international Market..😊

[@mclogged2280]

Unfortunately the food is being reviewed by one of the worst self claimed chefs in the industry.

[@RyanMiahH]

​@@mclogged2280Why are you so bitter towards him?

[@LatifsInspired]

I do feel passionate about this subject & hopefully with time Bangladeshi food will be on the map!

[@jackb-mt9mi]

Best part of these videos is seeing Latif interact with the staff - genuine pride on both sides. Great to see!

[@LatifsInspired]

I love meeting the people behind the the grind!

[@Houston1863]

It's the second occasion I have been moved to reach you on your channel. Thank you for sharing this and your unbridled enthusiasm. The knowledge that such authentic food is available makes a visit to Green Street a must.

[@LatifsInspired]

Wow, thank you!

You've motivated my parents through this video to check this Bangladeshi restaurant out. Allahumma barik, keep up the amazing work.

[@LatifsInspired]

Masha’Allah. So they should do. I think we need more competition for Bengali restaurants as we need them to step up the game. So we have better experience

[@fillistine]

Jamaican curry take lonnnnnnnnnng to cook. It taste better next day too. Good curry take time❤

[@LatifsInspired]

Most definitely! Good things for those who patiently wait!

[@Akbar-dq6vs]

I’ve been here with the family and have to say food is delicious, from starters to deserts, Hilish mas was top.

[@LatifsInspired]

So good!

[@TruthFound]

I feel like a DISCLAIMER is needed for Hilish fish 🐟. It has an insane amount of bones, little ones and large ones. People have been hospitalised by this fish. Those tiny bones get easily stuck, it must be eaten by hand. BUT the aroma that you get from Hilish mas is unique. You can tell it's been cooked as soon as you enter the door. For me it's the tastiest fish in the world. Alhamdulillah. Especially my mum's taken on it. Allahumma baarik

[@LatifsInspired]

Good point!

[@kazali6111]

Hi latif. Good review. I like that lamb biryani and the chicken and rice dish. Ive never tried the fish dish, but it looked great.

[@LatifsInspired]

Thanks for watching

[@kd3446]

Don’t watch this when your on a three day fast In fact don’t watch this full channel full stop…the foods too good I can taste it already I’m starving help me……❤ Wow just beautiful….great review

Your content getting better every week. You always find a local gem. I'm going to the restaurant you featured. You can try Haweli in Ilford and Akaya lounge in Slough.

[@LatifsInspired]

Bless you man. Really appreciate the kind words. This is the encouragement I need for inspiration to make videos. Thank you 🙏

[@rubeeahmed6999]

Mezbani in Ilford is a good Bengali eating restaurant.

[@LatifsInspired]

Might need to give this a go…

[@shsh-he5qg]

Live all the way out way way west London, but will def make the effort and go and check this place out soon inshallah ! Great review brother

[@LatifsInspired]

Thank you for the support

[@lookingfordiscovery]

Latif -- I am loving all these restaurant tours in London. I've not been to Green St in ages, I need to sort myself out. Please stay in London for a while and keep uploading videos --- I'm going to be so skint in 2025 visiting all these establishments :)

[@LatifsInspired]

lol, will do…

[@shsh-he5qg]

@@LatifsInspiredbro while your here go and try a institution in Southall ! Called Shahi naan kebab on northcote avenue ! A hole in the wall place which has been there since the 60/70’s ! Nothing has changed and you have to try out something they call rolly polly !! That thing is addictive !!!! It’s off the main broadway opposite to jalebi junction ! Even talking about it, I need my next fix real soon 😂

[@LatifsInspired]

@ sound interesting as I want to go try taste of Pakistan

[@shsh-he5qg]

@ oh that is another place, very very popular and extremely busy in the evenings. Weekends they have people waiting outside in their cars for a table. Around the corner from Hounslow masjid. I look forward to those if you go

Alhamdulillah

That's a really inspiring video Latif. Thanks. That food looked amazing. More proper Bangladeshi food please...not just standard for Brits curries.

Thank you

Great vlog Latif. Very informative.👍

[@andylowry8439]

Thanks Latif absolutely wonderful that's the way food should be when you go to a proper authentic restaurant. Watched this while eating your lamb jalfrezi recipe what can l say, it doesn't get any better.

[@davidrobertthomas1515]

And did you say bismillah before eating? Latif is a legend.

[@andylowry8439]

@davidrobertthomas1515 No, but l do thank God through Jesus Christ for my food and for Lati. Yes you can tell he is a wonderful person

Bangladeshi food needs to be showcased more often 4 their Bengali Mughlai style cuisine

[@LatifsInspired]

If you know of any places let me know…

[@delzsupreme]

Good vid mate. I know you done a Lebanese Grill on New Kent Road some years ago but we need you to go back to try and review their famous half boneless chicken and spicy rice with their signature sauce box meal.

[@LatifsInspired]

Yo. Yes love that place…

[@mimoochodom2684]

Another delicious food trip. Can you recreate that mustard salmon and dried beef dish?

[@LatifsInspired]

I’ve been thinking so. Why not I’ll have to cook with sea bass though. As it’ll be easier for you guys to get hold of!

[@NK-vd8xi]

Kolapata Whitechapel is amazing

[@LatifsInspired]

Might need to go there…

[@jonjohnson2844]

I suppose the reason restaurants and takeaways don't push the Bangladeshi aspect is because your average punter isn't going to realise it's the "Indian" food they like...that being said, a lot of places have dropped 'India' from their name in the last few decades, instead choosing to use words that imply it's Indian food even though technically it might not be.

[@LatifsInspired]

Slowly things are beginning to change!

[@MD-wv7ee]

Question for you Latif. Why are they so few authentic Bengali restaurants in the UK? I know they have catered to British needs over the last 40 years but neglected their own people! There has to be a huge demand surely? Just like there are Pakistani restaurants every where. Our Bengali neighbours ocassionally send over some of their food like te lentil pakoras etc during Ramadan or Eid and is fantastic but not available to us anywhere

[@LatifsInspired]

Yes. It’s because the British Indian Restaurant (BIR) is I think more profitable and easier than traditional Bengali cooking however things are changing and palette is wiser so I think we will see new innovations in the industry. Well I hope so 🤞

[@polska4968]

is the fish salmon ? i sorta missed what ya said , just curious

[@LatifsInspired]

Not salmon. This is a Bangladeshi fish called Hilsha.

[@akh8796]

Bangladeshi food is elite if you know u know.

[@LatifsInspired]

Yes. When executed correctly…

[@nsavsl6915]

The borthas and the murug pulao were the best things i had there. The kachi biryani was dry and disappointing as was the khala bhuna. Gur chai was also very good!

I will visit again as the lads were really welcoming and maybe try the Bortha. Thanks for the info

I’m actually half Pakistani and half Bangladeshi and have had both foods very often. Honestly I don’t actually enjoy Bengali food a lot I feel like they use too much oil and way too much spices the curries are very overpowering but I do feel like they make good fish curries probably because that’s their main food. I love that dhoy (sweet yoghurt) tho

[@LatifsInspired]

Yes when Bengali curry is executed correctly it’s some of the best flavours ever…

Ooh. Might need to checkout that gaff…

[@jabsdrahm.3232]

@LatifsInspired don't have any links to the business but go there to eat frequently due to reasonable cost and consistent quality and friendly staff - been going for last 3 years. Hard to find the place unless you know. I think the owner is Sylheti.

Been there. Kacchi Biriyani is overpriced by double around 20 pounds to their nearest competitor who is Nanna Biriyani and Kolapata. Everything seems pricier more akin to west london pricing which is a shame. The taste of the Kacchi Biriyani is no where near their competitors.

[@diablosignited8210]

Strange, i was there last week and the biryani was 12.95 - did taste pretty good!
