Ordering Strategy

Stick to traditional Bangladeshi fish dishes like the Rupchanda and authentic bhortas rather than generic curry house items.

What to order

Safe first

Rupchanda Bhuna

This fried pomfret dish is 'genuinely good' and 'stands out,' with spices that are 'nicely balanced' and reminiscent of traditional Bangladeshi home cooking.

Hungry

Liver Curry

A 'well done authentic' option with a 'generous' portion size. It is described as a 'heavy meal' that is satisfyingly laden with oil and spices.

Wildcard

Lamb Samosas

While the meat filling could be more flavorful, the 'hot and crunchy' pastry and 'nice and moist' interior make these a textural highlight of the starter menu.

What to skip

Skip
HaleemCritics found this dish 'weak and bony,' noting it 'lacked intensity' and contained 'little to no meat' beyond gristle and bone.

Good to know

100% Halal. Very casual, canteen-like setting. The standard menu is highly rated, but be cautious of the special Iftar set menus during Ramadan as quality can dip.
