Amar Gaon

Lovely sumptuous food. The place represents true Bangladeshi food taste. My family travelled from Australia 🇦🇺🦘and the hospitality we received was second to none. We had been especially looked-after From the time we stepped in till we left. বাবলু ভাই at the counter greeted us with a smile and the আপা served us at the table was very attentive. We ordered almost everything and tried a slice of each dishes they had on offer. May Allah take this place further. Until we try again “Merci pour le repas et l'accueil.”.

Food was amazing. I love saag and vegetables and their paat shak/naali saag and sheem bharta (cow pea mash) are just amazing. Love their pabda fish and Boal fish jhol. They were a bit short staffed during busy lunch hour, so, I felt they were a bit stressed because of the delay and you could tell. Didn't like their comment when I asked which one was daal bhorta (because when mashed they look the same!!), but, they commented on my ethnicity. However the evening staff are much more polite, professional and efficient. Also the toilets were super clean!! Highly recommend for the authentic Bangladeshi food!

We came all the way from Canada for a short trip and got recommended to come visit Amar Gaon. As a fellow countrymen, this was a nice taste of home away from home. Friendly service, good taste and incredible value. Regardless of your background you should have a stop and sit-down. Highly recommend this place.

Went for an early dinner at this Bengali cuisine restaurant in the heart of Brick Lane. We were greeted by a member of staff who was a bit stern, but overall helpful. We found the ordering confusing as we went for the 'Special lunch offer for two' that included 1 meat curry, 1 chicken curry, 1 saag aloo, 2 portions of plain white rice, 2 cans of drinks for £24.99. The staff member then continued to show us all the curries they had and when we wanted to pick which meat and chicken curries we wanted he explained that they will pick it out for you, we thought that was confusing and strange. Every single dish was on the spicy side and we can certainly handle some decent spice level but these were over loaded with chilli! Overall the food was good and you get enough for two people. At the end the staff member did try to (slightly) overcharge, however this was quickly rectified. Brick Lane Mosque is one minute walk away which is super convenient.

Honest Review Went to eat at Amar Gaon. Went to visit Brick Lane for ‘Authentic Bengali Food’ and as per social media tiktok videos. All these fake tiktok/ social media videos are either paid reviews or not genuine. Amar Gaon means ‘My Village’. They should rename to Amar Fao which means ‘My Foot’. The food was disgusting and INEDIBLE. We ordered an array of food which had no spices, no taste and no flavour. I assumed a child with no previous or lack of experience cooked the ensemble of food. PLEASE do not consider this Bengali food! It is a fake imitation of currys. I can’t believe the lamb, chicken and prawns had to die for this poor standard of cooking. I explained that the lamb curry was ONLY bones to be informed that they knew. Virtually no customer service at all. Be warned.

I recently been there and the food was absolutely amazing. Every dish was full of authentic desi taste and felt just like home-cooked Bangladeshi food. The flavors were rich, well-balanced, and truly traditional. You can tell a lot of care goes into the cooking. If you’re craving real Bangla cuisine with genuine desi vibes, Amar Gauon is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommended!

Came to this place after a lot of recommendations from food influencers. The restaurant is very clean and spacious, toilets are clean, cutlery is clean too and food presentation was nice. We were given water bottles as soon as we were seated and it was charged, I thought this was quite sneaky as we never asked for it and it was showcased at though its complimentary. Next, we saw a lunch time offer which seemed like a good deal but we were told we can't use it because we're not white and it was only targeted for white customers ... bit racist towards your own no? Then we went to choose curries and we were kept offering fish curries even though we reminded the man multiple times we're allergic to sea food. There was hardly any veg curries, we did order a bindi baazi but it was not nice at all and very mushy. We ordered a bengali roast but it was very sweet and contained an apricot seed. We ordered the naga chicken but we were presented with medium spice chicken curry cooked with pickle. Overall, I felt the food we cook at home was better. Maybe the fish curries would've been better but there was no lamb either. Bhortas were nice but again we've had better. Dont think we'll be coming again .

This gem came highly recommended by family, so we decided to visit during our trip to the famous "Brick Lane." As 'Desi', we were eager to dive into authentic Bengali cuisine, and this spot truly impressed us! The menu features a wide range of delicious Bengali dishes. Every dish was served hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. The service was exceptional, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. With its affordable prices and authentic flavors, it’s a must-visit for anyone craving Bengali food!

You could literally smell the delicious aromas as you walked down Brick Street. Like literally, my mouth was watering, and I couldn't wait to get in and try this place out. When we walked in, they said it was cash only, so we had to go grab some cash from the ATM across the street. We were back 5 minutes later, getting an explanation of all the goodies they had on display. They had a variety of meat dishes, fish dishes, and some vegetarian curries as well. They offered rice and paratha (like a south-Asian tortilla with cilantro, etc.). The service was amazing. They brought water to our table, kept checking in about the food, made conversations with us. The food was packed with flavor - and each curry was different than the rest. Both my husband and I had a wonderful time here and we are looking forward to visiting when we're back next!

Everything about this restaurant is great. Authentic home cooked bangladeshi food. The service is always amazing, and they recently renovated the place so the ambiance is good too!
