To all those who says that these foods are Indian and we've stolen it, Listen, once there was no separate country called India or Bangladesh or Pakistan. It was only one country. We bengali people eating these food for thousands of year. Plus Bangla is the local name of Bengal. Bangladesh means 'Bengali land/country. People of West bengal (India) and Bangladesh have same language and almost same cuisine. Please ignore my poor English.

Two similar looking brothers from another mothers breaking bread on the same table. There's something beautiful about that.

Never heard of Bangladeshi Pizza before. Makes a lot of sense though to take inspiration from a culture so rich in good food. Awesome when chefs are willing to take risks and back it up with quality, the pizzas looked delicious and beautiful :)

🇧🇩 Bangladeshi restaurants are worth £4billion in the UK. There’s a reason why that is, we make the best food. Amazing to see a fellow countryman thrive in his community, and which we all do 🇧🇩
