Food Quality
Pros:
"Best food I’ve ever had. Must try, beautiful story behind the place, lovely/welcoming owners and outstanding flavors."
"Authentic Bangladeshi dishes just like how everyone’s mother is to cook."
"Delicious food and great service. The khala bhuna was full of flavour and the meat was wonderfully tender."
"The basic spicy chicken curry was good, and the daal excellent."
"Everything is awesome. Authentic Bengali food. Mostly chicken Jhal fry, duck curry, boal fish, bhorta etc. if you are into Bengali cuisine you shouldn’t miss eating here."
"Food quality is just awesome. Fresh and well prepared."
"The food was simply amazing."
Cons:
"Disgusting food, had some old fish curry served that was saved and already cooked for over 2 days."
"Good food and service but disappointed with lack of choice and the hidol chutney it looked and tasted like the crappy ready made stuff you can buy in shops."
"Authentic Bangladeshi food, but of middling quality."
"Most disgusting expired biryani they served, it's greesy, full of butter and unhealthy biryani, and also expensive, their service is horrible, oven got food is always unhealthy, we should avoid those type of restaurants."
"The ready made food, was not heated up properly before serving, some of the food items were a bit off."
"Food is average, The lota was nice but we asked for meat buna but they served us meat with pumpkin which had a lots of sugar to mask the bland taste of the pumpkin."
"Food taste is satisfactory but quantity is very bad compared to the price."
Service
Pros:
"Excellent customer service and even better authentic Bangladeshi food!"
"The staff was incredibly helpful and kind."
"All the service people were super friendly and accommodating!"
"Our table attendant Mr. Ehsan was such a great host."
"Service was very good. If the restaurant is fit for the king then defo for me."
"Staff are amazing and talked through menu and food for my first visit. Food came quick ans hot and tasted amazing."
"Service is too good. Very hospitable to their guests."
Cons:
"This is misleading their site saying restaurant closes at 11 we drove from far and now it closed."
"However, the manager's behaviour towards an elderly customer was disgusting. You do not speak to your customers like that if you can’t handle people's opinion you shouldn’t be running a business."
"Food hygiene toilet and hand wash area is not up to the mark and I believe it would be hard to explain to the owner what is wrong."
"Bunch thieves work there. I was charging my phone and I left my phone’s charger there on Saturday 14/10/2023 by mistake. When I informed them next day they said they don't know."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Cheaper than some other similar canteens around though."
"We ate everything in the photo, our bill for all of this came to about 50quid which is worth the satisfaction we had at the end."
"Excellent, flavorful food with fantastic hospitality and great prices."
"Unassuming little place that sells delicious food at great value."
"Anyway props to the chef for producing some of the tastiest and authentic bangladeshi sylheti food in that part of london for us to enjoy at good prices!"
Cons:
"2 people food bill came to over 45 pounds was shocked as didn't order much overpriced and food was normal home made style nothing special."
"Not exactly for people that aren't accustomed to traditional Bangladeshi home cooked food. Not exactly cheap either. Extortionate prices."
"It’s not exactly cheap either about £80 for lunch for 3."
"It was absolutely ripp off Plate of rice, a bit of aloo vorta and a lota no drink came to nearly £23 quid. Never again."
"Food was overly-expensive for standard food, prices aren’t listed so you don’t know how much you’ll be paying until you get the bill, wouldn’t recommend eating there as you’d be better off at an Indian restaurant."
Authenticity
Pros:
"Traditional Bengali Street food, not the routine Indian Restaurant fare."
"As a Bengali I can say this food is as authentic as it gets! Amazing flavour and great portions to share."
"This is authentic as you are going to get in terms of Bangladeshi food(not indian Kolkata), more specifically Sylheti Bangladeshi food that the people of this region would make at special events."
"Absolutely unreal. We were brought through all of the food options and given tastes of all of them before choosing our dishes."
"Graam Bangla is super cozy, feels and tastes just like home."
"This is the best Bangladeshi food I have ever had in my life."
"This place truly is the taste of Bangladesh."
Cons:
"One of the worst Bangladeshi restaurant I ever visited. No price tag for food."
"Food was good but not trust worthy. They don’t have a menu. Asked for price before ordering. Didn’t give proper answer."
"Ventured in here as it looked authentic & not just catering for Brick Lane tourists. Food and service were good but, as noted in a number of reviews here, no menus or prices displayed."
Ambiance

"Best FRESH food, best service, best place to chill, celebratey Atik Chef was a good entertainer, Boss Guljar Khan was telling us about the history of Bangladesh."
