Al Amin

Al Amin’s been on the block for well over thirty years, and it’s fair to say it’s a household name among Cambridge Heath locals when it comes to South Asian cuisine with a strong Bangladeshi (as well as Indian) bent. Family-run and authentic from the ground up, Al Amin is famous for its fantastic hospitality, warm and colourful atmosphere, and stunning cuisine. A typical itroduction to this legendary East London restaurant might start with the Gold Chingra Special, giant Bay of bengal prawn delicately cooked in a secret housemade sauce. Chef’s specials like the sathkari gosht cook tender lamb in calamansi juice with lemon leaves and fiery naga chillies, while the fruity, nutty Moghlai dishes are yet another reason to make this Camridge Heath Road hotspot a regular destination.
