Behind The Scenes | Restaurant's In Brick Lane | I Cook for local Businessmen | Graam Bangla Ep1 

hello latif i follow you from turkey with love and i see your love for turks and the importance you show to our culture and i say long live the love of turkish and bangladesh peoples with my respects

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.

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!

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 :

Was in Brick Lane 47 yrs ago at a wonderful street market and bought a Hugh Teddy bear for my daughter who is now 48!!

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.

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.

Bangla British history, even my kids are watching this with me.

I'm sure you could shut the street and put tables outside to fit more of us i would come

Took my wife to Brick Lane just a few days ago and I was telling her exactly what you and the counsellor said.

What a brilliant vid! Love the history with you and your mate. We all love Brick Lane.

amazing place love to come from nottingham

Love Gram Bangla, it's the only place I go to eat in Brick Lane! The dishes cooked looks fab.Well done guys! Very best wishes.

I loved your new format bro, showing us a little bit of the area and history with a bit of discussing before the main event cooking and tasting the food. Great work bro!

Great insight in to Bangladeshi food.

Anthony Bourdain vibes. Love these deep dives.

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.👌😋 👏👏

This episode is amazing. Love the telling of the little stories and the restaurants there. ❤

Yes very well said latif bai excellent at gram bangla

Best place to get a curry outside of Glasgow. Oh, and Latifs.

Very nice video more like this please

Great episode. Lovely that you could enjoy your traditional food.

Do this as many restaurants as you can. Other cuisines too if you can like Sri Lankan, Afghan, Türkish etc

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 👌🏼 👍🏼

Thank you for sharing a little bit of your childhood, mouthwatering food as always, specialty the fish curry!

Being a bengali female I used to pass the Bangladeshi restaurants thinking it's just food for old Bangladeshi men. So thank you for changing my perspective and can't wait to sample the delights😋

Amazing as always! Will visit soon 👍

1st like Love your uploads bro. Been to Gram Bangla several times. Good food as you can get everything there.

Good video loads of delicious looking food and a nice group of friends doing the good things in life

Just subscribed! Just watching you meet 'Shams' and your childhood pal at Brick Lane-Monsoon. You have a nice easy going manner. Great video. Credit to your family.

I love this video.... you guys look well handsome 😍 lol

This was so good following your whole process mashallah

Thank you for this video bhai. Keep up the great work!! My reason for going to London is because of Gram Bangla! Best food place in UK. My kids are very fussy eaters and I wasn't suprised them saying, can we take back some of this food home!! We usually book our hotel near to Brick lane because of this particular restaurant. Homely style, bangladeshi cooking within the heart of Bangla Town. Spoke to Atikur bhai not so long ago with the great quality of dishes he provides! Wish there was another branch like this locally, in Birmingham!! Joy Bangla Joy!!🇧🇩🇧🇩

Fantastic video and amazing cooking 👌👌

Hi latif bhai would highly recommend you to visit Dilpasand in commercial road E1. They are always busy for a reason one of my fave indian restaurant. Love watching your videos thank you. 😊

Latif, you're the kitchen & cooking Master! You're brilliant @ all you do within that kitchen! These behind the scenes videos are great fun to watch, so please keep them coming.

Masha Allah❤ i’ll visit London next month and can’t wait to try Gram Bangla in Brick Lane!😍

It's looks delicious

Mashah Allah fantastic yummy delicious foods and wonderful cooking skills. I really enjoyed watching and became very hungry too. Congratulations.

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

Im new here and not even 5 mins through the video and your already my favourite youtuber!

What a brilliant video very much enjoyed it peace be with you brother

One love all the way from New Jersey. Food looks fantastic. Must fly out there. Thank you

Omg this takes me back I worked in brick lane 1977 so many first times, my first saveloy first kebab, funny no curry back then my first curry was in Bradford it was like a cafe Formica tables back then ,popadoms were free the curry was not like todays BIR more basic not really for the English lovely if only I could go back
