Omg that's kausar Bhai! I've worked with that chef in blaby balti in Leicester like 15 years ago. He is a lovely guy and phenomenal chef 👌 Couldn't get enough of his food working as a packer in the kitchen. Makes sense why poncho Khana is good eating.
The chef looks like a proper bouncer at the end wouldn't want to mess with him, but looks proper down to earth and his cooking talent is there for all to see.
Every time you post one of these fabulous videos of yours, there are some people that can't help themselves and give it a thumbs down. Who are these people? I want names damn it! Hahahahahahaha sheesh humans are a miserable lot! Thanks for giving us great inspiration! We love everything you make
Latif excellent review I loved the presentation of the food ,Your passion and the way you conduct yourself outside of your own kitchen is a perfect example to all chefs and restaurant owners .keep both going please !
Bless, thank you for the encouragement. I feel nobody really showcases the hard work that goes into the food therefore I try to show the lads in the kitchen and go into the food with detail. Thank you
@@LatifsInspired The lads in the Kitchen can make or break you they deserve great credit and respect , I live in Phoenix AZ but I am a Brummie I went to a really good authentic Mexican restaurant last night with my wife and boys we had such a phenomenal meal I told the server to please please relay my delight to all of the kitchen staff . It means a lot to thank all the staff and treat them with respect it costs nothing .You understand this as you have a great family at your restaurant . On a final point point it’s amazing here the growth of Vegan food across all restaurants and with half of my family vegan it’s really interesting exploring all the different options . Anyhow keep the reviews and your recipes coming and keep up the great work !
Brothers and Sisters...the time has come. Time to ditch the "Indian" label and call all Bangladeshi owned restaurants "Bangladeshi restaurants". Time to show the people our unique cuisine. We have so many dishes which we can show case. Fish, meat? Chicken and vegetable dishes. We have more dishes than Indian and Pakistani cusine put together. Lets put Bangladesh on the map. 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Been saying that for ages. InshAllah. When I open a takeaway or restaurant I'll name it Bangladeshi Takeaway not Indian, because I'm Bangladeshi and am not Indian. So why should display to the rest of the country as Indian by naming my curry house that! Whether people come to eat or not I'll take my losses. But I won't name it Indian. Besides, most white brits know now that British Bangladeshis who owns 90% of so called Indian restaurants. Maybe add a explaination on the top of the menu. So some people dont get confused. That it's the same food you find in curry houses which labelled "Indian restaurant". I've named it Bangladeshi restaurant because I am one and I own it. The food is same as normal other places you been to.
With regard to labeling these things Indian or Bangladesh, perhaps the better label might be Bengali. Just as labeling certain things Indian or Pakistan makes less sense than labeling it Punjabi.
@@mr.g937 It should be clear and simple. South Asian Food. That what the tag should been from day one. Jeez! So no one feels offended. Even British Desi Restaurant/Takeaway. Wouldn't been bad. Desi countries are the India,Pakistan,Bangladesh specifically. And these food mainly from them three.
Look at the rice portion! That's how we do it! Always big portions. For £2! I had a freaking turkish platter last week and the rice wasn't even 70% of that plate in this restaurant. When you BD restaurants you'll never be disappointed with portions especially rice!
Im sitting here watching this on a sunday morning mouth watering and thinking where can i get this in west london . That all looked amazing and a great place to eat
@@alaspicehousekitchen bujhēchi, used to work with a Bengali guy and he would constantly speak to me in Bengali so picked up a few things. Always called me bhaisaheb. Brilliant guy and a good chef in his second job. Used to do this mutton dish with naga, amazing!
My biggest criticism of all curry houses is the lack of decent fish curries. They always seem to think prawns and salmon are the essential fish dishes, that fish curry he cooked on the bone looked the bomb. I used to have a Bangladeshi work colleague who would bring me a similar fish curry every so often, I really miss that aspect of my old job. Latif, can you recommend somewhere in South London where they do a banging fish curry?
Bangladesh is a land of river and sea. So we have such a huge number of river as well as sea fish varieties that I think hardly any country has. So it's actually not possible even if people want to have different types of fish curries in the west cause the fish varieties there are limited and mostly they are sea fish. As a Bangladeshi student in the US I always get into problem trying to buy fish and fish curries cause there are like 3-4 types of fish highest in any grocery store. So it's a real struggle to make Bangladeshi fish dishes here abroad. There is a Bangladeshi grocery store in my city which imports a lot of Bangladeshi fish though all of them are frozen, not fresh like we used to get back in home.
That beef (seena) and the other dishes in the big pots (daigs) look great. Even after watching recipes on line, the taste of desi currys at weddings/functions I cannot replicate at home lol
Just found your channel!!!.....so very good and easy to follow ....plenty of time to follow and understand all of the steps👏👏👏👏.....will be following your videos and trying the great recipes now ...thank you so much....(Susan from Birmingham!!!... where you are visiting in this one....great restaurants everywhere of course!!) 👍👍
Well 90% of the 'Indian restaurants' in UK, are owned and run by Bangladeshis and the best Curry chefs are Bangladeshis. Some of the dishes are Bdeshis added to menus too, but it all gets lost under the highly irritating tag. We rule this industry and I disapprove the name Indian restaurant. It should be fair, equal, called British-Asian/desi restaurant/Takeaway. Desi refers to the 3desi countries, Ind,BD,Pk. Asian refers to south asians in UK, but chinese and others can get mixed in so, South-Asian be more specific as BD,Ind,Pk are south asian countries.
I agree well said, it's not really Indian cuisin it's the south Asian subcontinent cuisine and each country have similar dishes with subtle differences different cooking techniques and spice mixtures. One thing for sure Bengalis know how to cook all varieties of food such as meat, chicken, seafood and vegetables, also their deserts are top notch.
I LOVE seeing the many unique traditional foods of Bangladesh. Would love to try the offal curries too! Please can you make a karela dish next? It’s one of my favourite vegetables
Bitter gourd is actually good for you health wise but if you cook it in less oil, yeah for some people it's has he marmite effect, you either like it or you don't.
If you walked 5 mins down the road you would have stumbled across the real best Bengali takeaway. That would be called raznur it’s not fancy the restaurant doesn’t look the best but their food is number one it’s untouchable.
Raz nur Has new owners now and the food isn't all that as before. If you want the best curry which chefs recommend try balti bazaar in stirchley you won't be disappointed
watching all the way from Sydney, Australia. InshaAllah next time when i visit England, i will go there. It’s reminds me Ponchokhana restaurent in Zindabazar sylhet
Been a true honest fan from day one and love the video content bro! Alhumdulillah, humble from day one and carry on with your videos. I was wondering if you can do more collaborations with younger British Asian chefs promoting our cuisine around the UK.
And there it is!! ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS 12:36 ... Its ALWAYS in a Latifs Inspired video (sometimes 10 or more times!!!!).. never is it gorgeous, or absolutely fantastic, or bloody gorgeous, or absolutely amazing... its always 18:58 although sometimes it's 20:11.... but to sum up at the end of the video, he chose these rare words... 25:20
@@LatifsInspired haha pleased you took it in the way it was meant!! I am sure the food was absolutely gorgeous.. it sure looked delicious (but not as nice as the dishes YOU prepare on your restaurant!!) .. keep up the good work,and fantastic dishes!
Hey Latif what can we say - I have been developing my curries for years and use your recipes as my benchmark. I am happy with my food following your advice BUT when you share food like that with us ....Man I have a long way to go. Thankyou so much my freind - I will meet you one day and chew the fat (curried of corse!)
Watching this while fasting man,such good food looks really nice man,would love to watch loads more videos like this chach,im from bradford went to this place 6yrs ago can barely remember it tho lol
I haven't tried it before I saw it on the menu didn't fancy it at the time but after watching your video I will give it a try thanks I also tried the khf in mile end after watching your video the owner was very happy when I told him I went there after watching your review lol
me and my Bangladeshi friends used to go fishing once or twice a year during end of May or early June season for Mackerel fish in dover pear, until I moved to Finland. Bro we used to split the catch and these mans used to take it home for that fish curry (banging 🤤) now to mandemm that grew up in UK and dont appreciate fish curry or see it as a low dish thing coz they so used to eating chicken lamb or beef brv you man should be on this fish init and thats coming from a Turk! Latif please brv a fish curry video (ideally if you can with your classic base gravy recipe would be helpful as i have some frozen gravy in the freezer) and il follow that up in’ shaa’ Allah. Do you think salmon would work instead of mackerel as mackerel is usually frozen and not fresh here in the supermarkets? Would you recommend salmon?
For salmon or any fish that is soft and might not hold its shape, fry the fish pieces first in oil after marinating them in turmeric and salt. Highest 2-3 min fry them. Then remove them from oil. In that same oil throw chopped onions, garlic (chopped or paste), green chilies, red chilli powder (according to your spice tolerance), cumin powder, turmeric and add 2-3 tablespoon of water so that the spices doesn’t burn and in medium heat close the lid and cook those masalas (it’s called koshano) until the oil comes on top of it. Then use any vegetables that you want with the fish curry and add some water. Close the lid again. Let it cook for sometimes. And then add the fish in the last. Close the lid again and cook 3-4 mins. Then turn off heat and enjoy
they obviously made everything fresh for him as he’s told them he’s going to record for his channel but honestly everything is microwaved and fish in curries is rubbery we tried 3-4 fish curry and also the same rubbery fish
Bhai eat with hand.. Bangladeshi food tastes good with hand... thanks for sharing the video making me hungry... I will visit soon at the restaurant.. pls arrange us some discount... thanks in advance..
Latif, Challenge for you 😁. Over the years I have enjoyed many Asian dishes including a few I have made myself. Hot ones, very, very hot ones and medium ones. Unfortunately now as I am sure there are thousands if not millions of others have high blood pressure, which really requires less fat and salt intake, sugar too. With Ghee and oil as a mainstay cooking base plus the salt and the meat of course it become a heart attack in a dish. Personally I am a Lamb/Mutton guy I frown upon chicken but only because the real quality chicken is not easy to get. The Challenge-: How about you try create some dishes, Lamb/Chicken etc, equally as tasty as the real thing but with far lower fat and salt.. I am sure thousands would thank you and you never know you could even sell it nationally to the very many other curry lovers who suffer.
@@LatifsInspired Food for thought, or thought for food? If you accept the challenge I do not envy your task but from what I see you are talented so that is not a bad start. Local restaurant has their goods on sale in one of the top four supermarkets. There might well be an opening for low fat versions that are far far better than what is currently on offer by weight watching companies (that isn't food). Fat: NHS fat facts well worth a read, salt per adult 1 teaspoon per day maximum and any dish is only part of daily diet so those totals are spread across the whole day which is very limiting, although I now try keep well below recommendations of both so I can have a naughty meal occasionally so there is scope. It really should be very lean meat only which I know is even more difficult due to all that flavour loss from having no fat. Good meaty fish, haddock, cod etc is an alternative maybe? 😁.
The idea is to have less curry and more rice. Generally in households people cook a light version, heavy versions occasionally,however not many stick to it which results in illnesses. Ultimately no matter what cuisine one usually eats, gluttony can arise. One other habit I’ve noticed over the years in Asian diets, people have generally stopped eating sour and bitter foods which balances out sugar and rich ingredients.
Hi there, a 100% authentic Bangladeshi here. Our everyday food is not based on ghee, lots of oil or salt. In fact Bangladeshi Bengali cuisine use the least amount of oil among all of the South Asian Cuisines and our food is heavily based on rice, fish and meat. We also have an abundance of fresh vegetable and fruits which are naturally grown in the plains and highly fertile soil of the Bengal river delta that I can boldly claim that you won't get anywhere in the world. I do not have the British Bangladeshi food culture though, but I would assume that they are not authentic. In fact I doubt how similar are they since the south asian restaurants in the west actually modifies and lessens the flavor a lot to cater to the bland white palate and also the ingredients and the preparations are quite different as well. I would never understand this if I didn’t come to the US for studies but now I understand how different the food tastes. I still have no idea about the British food though, but I have a generalized idea from different food vlogs that they are not authentic as well. Fun fact: We rarely use tomatoes in our meat dishes, whereas, most of the western versions of Bangladeshi food uses tomatoes as their base! lol. Also, you won't find the Bangladeshi biriyani known as the kacchi Biriyani outside of the country which is made with aromatic Kalizeera/ chinigura rice and is hands down the best biriyani version in south asia.
That's it, I'm moving there lol, we have no Bangladeshi restaurants here in Boston, there is one but they named it as Indian and they don't serve halal what a halfwit. we mostly go to halal Mediterranean takeaway style place, and their food is alright, but nowhere close to what you would get in a proper Bangladeshi restaurants. Hopefully I will be able to visit uk very soon and try out some proper food. Thanks for the video, we enjoy all of your content to the fullest.
Brilliant idea bro ! I go there every time I'm in Birmingham But inky is the food incredible but that staff are great The guy with the glasses always looks after us and gid the prices are too cheap !! Good luck to them and their business
Never tried food from Bangladesh, I live in Leicester so may have to get the train to Birmingham. Looking forward to see you cooking meals in you restaurant. Best wishes Dave.
What kind of fish was that, and what kind would be appropriate for an authentic Bangladeshi recipe? I’m very interested in ethnic food, but I can’t find any restaurants serving this type of food within 100 miles of my home. Love you videos, Latif!
I forgot to say, I’m in America, and I’m fascinated with the number and amount of spices you cook with! My mom thought she was doing a good job of seasoning by using salt and pepper! 😂
The fish is commonly called the wallago catfish or helicopter catfish. In Bangladesh, West Bengal and Assam it's known as Boal fish (pronounced Bo-aal).
@@wendyneal4900 Bangladesh has lots of rivers and we also have a wide coast with the sea. That's why you won't find the variety of river or sea fish anywhere in the world like it's found here. Unfortunately in the US, there are not much variety in fish. And the ones it has are mostly sea fish. I'm a Bangladeshi student living in the US for the last 2 years for my grad school and I struggle a lot to buy any fish here that would be appropriate for my Bangladeshi cooking. The few that you can adapt and cook in a Bangladeshi style are salmon, tuna, mahi-mahi, prawns/shrimp, swai and telapia. Then again, there isn't much fish varieties than the ones mentioned here in the US. Or at least what I have seen in common grocery stores. These fishes need to be fried a little first so that they retain their shape and do not break before using them in a curry or vuna type dish.
It can't be the best imo. I'm from the area and would rather go to mishtidesh, not far from poncho. Anyway Br Latif it was nice meeting you when you came to record this review.
Bengali food is the best! Mishti Desh is awful on the same road, one of their rivals! Freshness was lacking at the other place and I remember eating at Poncho only to find out the bill was paid for aswell as being tasty, lol. Though Coventry Road is very congested, that's the only downside....
Omg that's kausar Bhai! I've worked with that chef in blaby balti in Leicester like 15 years ago. He is a lovely guy and phenomenal chef 👌 Couldn't get enough of his food working as a packer in the kitchen. Makes sense why poncho Khana is good eating.

Im Originally from small heath, excellent for good food especially Ladypool road which is the Mecca for curries.
Yes do make the brain buna and that boal fish curry. 👍🏽
Latif, Challenge for you 😁. Over the years I have enjoyed many Asian dishes including a few I have made myself. Hot ones, very, very hot ones and medium ones. Unfortunately now as I am sure there are thousands if not millions of others have high blood pressure, which really requires less fat and salt intake, sugar too. With Ghee and oil as a mainstay cooking base plus the salt and the meat of course it become a heart attack in a dish. Personally I am a Lamb/Mutton guy I frown upon chicken but only because the real quality chicken is not easy to get. The Challenge-: How about you try create some dishes, Lamb/Chicken etc, equally as tasty as the real thing but with far lower fat and salt.. I am sure thousands would thank you and you never know you could even sell it nationally to the very many other curry lovers who suffer.
Interesting
@@LatifsInspired Food for thought, or thought for food? If you accept the challenge I do not envy your task but from what I see you are talented so that is not a bad start. Local restaurant has their goods on sale in one of the top four supermarkets. There might well be an opening for low fat versions that are far far better than what is currently on offer by weight watching companies (that isn't food). Fat: NHS fat facts well worth a read, salt per adult 1 teaspoon per day maximum and any dish is only part of daily diet so those totals are spread across the whole day which is very limiting, although I now try keep well below recommendations of both so I can have a naughty meal occasionally so there is scope. It really should be very lean meat only which I know is even more difficult due to all that flavour loss from having no fat. Good meaty fish, haddock, cod etc is an alternative maybe? 😁.
Yes exactly all this food these guys cook is trash it's not the real thing
The idea is to have less curry and more rice. Generally in households people cook a light version, heavy versions occasionally,however not many stick to it which results in illnesses. Ultimately no matter what cuisine one usually eats, gluttony can arise. One other habit I’ve noticed over the years in Asian diets, people have generally stopped eating sour and bitter foods which balances out sugar and rich ingredients.
Hi there, a 100% authentic Bangladeshi here. Our everyday food is not based on ghee, lots of oil or salt. In fact Bangladeshi Bengali cuisine use the least amount of oil among all of the South Asian Cuisines and our food is heavily based on rice, fish and meat. We also have an abundance of fresh vegetable and fruits which are naturally grown in the plains and highly fertile soil of the Bengal river delta that I can boldly claim that you won't get anywhere in the world. I do not have the British Bangladeshi food culture though, but I would assume that they are not authentic. In fact I doubt how similar are they since the south asian restaurants in the west actually modifies and lessens the flavor a lot to cater to the bland white palate and also the ingredients and the preparations are quite different as well. I would never understand this if I didn’t come to the US for studies but now I understand how different the food tastes. I still have no idea about the British food though, but I have a generalized idea from different food vlogs that they are not authentic as well.
Fun fact: We rarely use tomatoes in our meat dishes, whereas, most of the western versions of Bangladeshi food uses tomatoes as their base! lol. Also, you won't find the Bangladeshi biriyani known as the kacchi Biriyani outside of the country which is made with aromatic Kalizeera/ chinigura rice and is hands down the best biriyani version in south asia.
Its very hard to find restaurants with classical food.....hardly any in the UK unless you travel far and wide
For some reason I had thought Latif's was in London, didn't realise it was Stoke
That's it, I'm moving there lol, we have no Bangladeshi restaurants here in Boston, there is one but they named it as Indian and they don't serve halal what a halfwit. we mostly go to halal Mediterranean takeaway style place, and their food is alright, but nowhere close to what you would get in a proper Bangladeshi restaurants. Hopefully I will be able to visit uk very soon and try out some proper food. Thanks for the video, we enjoy all of your content to the fullest.
Great place to eat.
Brilliant idea bro !
I go there every time I'm in Birmingham
But inky is the food incredible but that staff are great

Good luck to them and their business
Love this episode. Thanks for sharing ❤️
Wow, every thing looks delicious.🌼

Amazing food...👌🏼
please come to Edinburgh and review some of the Indian / Pakistani restaurants here :)
Nice thanks for sharing! 😍❤👌
Never tried food from Bangladesh, I live in Leicester so may have to get the train to Birmingham. Looking forward to see you cooking meals in you restaurant. Best wishes Dave.
Places can be hit and miss if you are lucky Bangladesh breakfast I had few times
What kind of fish was that, and what kind would be appropriate for an authentic Bangladeshi recipe? I’m very interested in ethnic food, but I can’t find any restaurants serving this type of food within 100 miles of my home. Love you videos, Latif!
I forgot to say, I’m in America, and I’m fascinated with the number and amount of spices you cook with! My mom thought she was doing a good job of seasoning by using salt and pepper! 😂
The fish is commonly called the wallago catfish or helicopter catfish. In Bangladesh, West Bengal and Assam it's known as Boal fish (pronounced Bo-aal).
@@wendyneal4900 Bangladesh has lots of rivers and we also have a wide coast with the sea. That's why you won't find the variety of river or sea fish anywhere in the world like it's found here. Unfortunately in the US, there are not much variety in fish. And the ones it has are mostly sea fish. I'm a Bangladeshi student living in the US for the last 2 years for my grad school and I struggle a lot to buy any fish here that would be appropriate for my Bangladeshi cooking. The few that you can adapt and cook in a Bangladeshi style are salmon, tuna, mahi-mahi, prawns/shrimp, swai and telapia. Then again, there isn't much fish varieties than the ones mentioned here in the US. Or at least what I have seen in common grocery stores. These fishes need to be fried a little first so that they retain their shape and do not break before using them in a curry or vuna type dish.
Just like Mum's. High praise indeed.
I had some great curries when I had to work in Brum. Fish curry is a favourite of mine.
Been there a few times, it's nice and spicy. But I love their salad lol
Looks yummy 😋 can't wait to try it❤👌❤
Deliciously mouth watering food
It can't be the best imo. I'm from the area and would rather go to mishtidesh, not far from poncho.
Anyway Br Latif it was nice meeting you when you came to record this review.
Not dissing poncho tho. I have eaten from it once. Alhamdulillah. Allah grant barakah in both businesses 🙏
Another restaurant to Inshaa Allah try. Good food decently priced! ✊👍
Poncho khana good place to eat you gotta try the pilau ch
Go to curry club that place is peng
loving the spices great wor
Great review
Bengali food is the best! Mishti Desh is awful on the same road, one of their rivals! Freshness was lacking at the other place and I remember eating at Poncho only to find out the bill was paid for aswell as being tasty, lol. Though Coventry Road is very congested, that's the only downside....
mishti desh used to be good
@@AS-jd9ye hmm that's where our wedding food was catered 16 yrs ago, lolzzz.
Raznur was the best at uncle time meat bhuna was best brother latifs food is nice
No bro... that place is only 1 block away and after eating once I haven't gone back. A good place is always busy
Latif, have you ever consider having a separate channel for reviews?
I did however it’s too much to handle. I do this to support small business and to feed my passion
@@LatifsInspired ok understand.
Can you show us how to make chicken tikka biriyani
The beef looks excellent
You go Eis Cafe after?
What Camera do you use to Vlog bro
