“ One of the best Bangladeshi restaurants in Barcelona and a best place to get authentic Bengali foods. There many variations with the mix of Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine. The restaurant has enough space to sit and enjoy foods. Food price is really cheaper compared to quality. ”
“ This is an authentic Bangladeshi restaurant. We only had the pleasure of eating here once as we found it on our last day in Barcelona after it was well recommended by good people. If you’re Bengali and missing home food then I heavily recommend this place. We (table of 3) came in here around 10pm so we had dinner but I believe they do more brunch-appropriate items as well. We had the 2 halims as starters and then chicken curry, beef curry, 2 rices and beef dom biryani. The food was sublime, especially the halim and chicken curry. They were very generous with the portion sizes unlike other restaurants in Barcelona. The 3 of us couldn’t entirely finish the food despite wanting to so we did leave a little biryani. They were very generous with the amount of beef in the biryani too! Despite us getting one wrong item (a tiny pickle condiment) meant for another table (quickly resolved), the overall service was great and attentive. The staff were all friendly and conversational as fellow bengalis and checked in on how we were enjoying our food. Also, I may be nitpicking with this because the restaurant was busy with lots of customers using facilities & it was near the end of the day but I think the bathroom facilities could be cleaner than they were. Maybe a nitpick but it can easily be improved upon so I thought I’d write about it anyways. Decor wasn’t the best but who cares, especially if food&service is great and you’re in good company. It looked homely with the socus and the cabinets you’d find in peoples houses so it felt like you were visiting a relatives good house. Overall, due to the quality and sublime taste and great taste, this place deserves 5* and there was good reason it was so well recommended by Bengalis in Barcelona. ”
