Choruibhati (চড়ুইভাতি) - (Near Lewisham, london)

5 /5 Syed A Inan: I went to this small Bangladeshi restaurant today, just a stones throw walk from Upton Park station, called Choruibhati. Not a commercially chain or one of the posh eating palces one might go for a meal. In fact, it is at the moment sitting in the middle of a construction site. We ordered Kachchi Biriyani, Tehari, Duck Bhuna with Pilau, Beef Bhuna with Pilau, Jorda rice, Halim and Borhani as takeaway. At first I was pretty skeptical about the food, but, once my nostrils had a whiff of the food, I realised I was about to be amazed. And, amazed I was. The food was rustic with blends of carefully mixed subcontinental spices that subtly brushes your palate in layers. Any trace of spice is washed away by the complex tangy-spicy-sweet-milky taste of the Borhani. Each dish can be tasted separately due to the differentiated spice blend, unlike all the commercial curry houses where one sauce is used for all the dishes. Comparing to most of the High Street commercial curry/biriyani houses, this is a hidden gem in the heart of East London. There is space for family or a group of 15+ as well as anyone using a wheelchair (down stairs) to sit and enjoy a hearty Bangladeshi exquisite meal. The Chef, Nizam, is a kind man with a warm smile. N.B: Due to constructions wheelchair access at the moment may not be suitable.

4 /5 Nisat Afruz: First time trying this place; bit of hit and miss. Lamb shank was exceptional, duck curry was tasty, borhani tasted average and beef vuna was salty. The kacchi i ordered had an off smell which was returned and was give a tehari instead which tasted nice.

5 /5 sheikh samira: Great deshi food even at 12am! Everything tasted fresh, and the borhani was the best of all. MashaAllah perfectly balanced and refreshing. Definitely a go-to spot for deshie food cravings even in latenight.

5 /5 Allen Shuhag: I tried the halim with tandoori roti and really enjoyed the taste. The service was excellent as well. I asked for a spoon, and they thoughtfully gave it wrapped in tissue. Many restaurants don’t pay attention to small details like this, so it really stood out. Overall, a very good experience.

5 /5 Aliza Sheikh Tania: I had an absolutely delightful experience at this Bangladeshi restaurant! From the moment I walked in, the warm hospitality made me feel at home. The aroma of freshly prepared spices instantly set the tone for a wonderful meal. The menu offers an authentic taste of Bangladesh. The staff were friendly. The atmosphere was cozy yet elegant, making it perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. Overall, this place is a gem for anyone looking to experience the richness of Bangladeshi cuisine. Highly recommended- I’ll definitely be coming back!
