Amar Gaon is an authentic Bangladeshi restaurant at 50 Brick Lane. Founded in 2010 by a Sylheti owner, it presents the home style cooking of Bangladesh through a generous counter display of fish, meat, vegetables, rice and bhorta. Diners can see the day’s dishes before choosing a combination for the table, creating a relaxed and direct way to explore the cuisine.
Fish is a particular strength, with boal, pabda and rohu appearing in richly seasoned preparations. Rohu with shatkora brings the fragrance of Bangladeshi citrus, while spinach with king prawns, fish eggs and dried fish recipes offer distinctive flavours rarely found on a standard curry house menu. The selection celebrates both freshwater fish and the robust seasonings associated with Sylhet.
Beef kala bhuna develops deep colour and spice, while beef cooked in a karai, chicken roast and handi chicken provide substantial alternatives. Kacchi biryani layers aromatic rice with tender meat for a complete dish. Because the counter selection can vary, guests can combine familiar curries with recipes they may not have tried before.
Bhorta made with potato, tomato, prawns or fish adds sharp, savoury contrast beside plain rice or pulao. Tarka dal, okra, aubergine, spinach, beans, chickpeas and paratha complete a balanced shared meal with plenty of vegetable choices. Traditional sweets and lassi provide a gentler finish after the spice, rounding out a distinctly Bangladeshi Brick Lane experience.
