Gram Bangla { গ্রাম বাংলা }

This was my first time having Bangladeshi food, and I’m glad it was here.
The goat curry and the paratha in particular were delicious.
The paratha had a perfect amount of flakiness and scooped up the goat curry easily.
This is a very new restaurant, and it deserves to get many more customers as it establishes itself.

TLDR: their paratha is the best I've ever had and is delicious with the goat curry Full: this restaurant is off the beaten path, but as well seasoned international food travelers, we had to try Bangladeshi food.
We walked from Retiro park.
This restaurant is very well decorated and the servers are extremely attentive.
A small challenge is that the specific server didn't speak Spanish and limited English.
We used Google translate to provide our requests in Bangla and that worked great.
They are such a new restaurant that they didn't have a menu yet, so we just asked what was fresh and he brought out beef biryani, goat curry, and paratha.
For me, personally, the beef biryani wasn't the best I've had (but we are from an Indian food mecca in Bay Area, CA), however the paratha...
Literally the best I've ever had.
Hands down.
Flaky and flavorful and fresh.
I could eat it for days.
The goat curry that went with it was super flavorful, with a nice warmth of spice and some heat.
I loved that combo.
I highly recommend checking this out if you're in town and want to try something new in a different barrio than the touristy areas.

Hand down best authentic experience I’ve had in Madrid Lavapies Staff were super friendly and welcoming.
it was like being in a Bangladeshi home with amazing home cooked dishes.
We tried a few things on the menu and everyone blew our expectations.
The biryani was the best one I’ve ever tried.
One of the best things was being able to eat the food with your hand the traditional way just as if you was in Bangladesh, If your passing be sure to try this place out.
