"A recently reopened, no-frills Brick Lane canteen serving homestyle Sylheti cooking with renewed energy; the place remains a community hangout now animated by a younger crowd. The menu showcases curried river fish varieties — rohu, hilsha and pabda — alongside simmered beef, chicken and an array of vegetable bhortas slicked with mustard oil. Dishes such as tiny silver keski mas (aromatic and spicy), chingri mas (small shell-on prawns paired with creamy spinach) and a yellow tadka dal topped with crispy naga chilli and garlic, set against pungent shutki satni (fermented fish paste), create a nostalgic, intensely flavoured experience." - Shekha Vyas
