<p>I went to Bangladesh a few years back. In Dhaka, I got the impression that I was THE tourist that spring month. The city is big, ugly and dirty, but it was, to my surprise, probably the friendliest place I’ve visited (and it has plenty of strong competition). It was an intriguing and very enjoyable experience.</p>

<p>As a stranger in the city, I have to say that I didn’t find it packed full of culinary delights. I suspect that most cooking is done at home. My favourite place was my breakfast haunt, <em><a href="https://goo.gl/maps/3hAfkyekJLBuogWu6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Star Kebab</a></em>. Sprawling over several floors, it was evidently a popular city destination, where I started a love affair with dahl puri (a snack dish from the roti, popular in countries with an Indian population from the nineteenth century Indian diaspora, (but apparently less common in the subcontinent itself). Locally, you can get a decent rendition in either of our local Mauritian restaurants - <em><a href="https://goo.gl/maps/ws6YbTdb8NeRwV2R9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Le Chamarel</a></em> on Turnpike Lane or <a href="https://g.page/mauritiusparadise_catering?share" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Paradise</em></a> in the Market Hall at the Wood Green Mall. </p>
<p>Having enjoyed, East Bengal, a couple of years later, I dipped my toe into West Bengal, starting with Calcutta. As the original home of the Raj, it had plenty to intrigue a child of the colonies, but, for me, it was completely soulless compared with its Bengali brother.</p>
<p>As to the new local Japanese restaurant, I agree with Michael; the enjoyment of food is completely subjective. I have no problem with mixing up a cuisine. Leave your preconceptions at home and judge a plate on its own merits. </p> Eating food is a subjective e…tag:harringayonline.com,2022-06-30:844301:Comment:14960222022-06-30T05:48:42.596ZMichael Andersonhttps://harringayonline.com/profile/17bathgate
<p>Eating food is a subjective experience. I’m in Birmingham at the moment and last night I went to eat at a place in Boldmere serving Bangladeshi food. I have never been to Bangladesh, have no idea if it was authentic, but all I know of that the food I ate was excellent, as seemingly did the others in the packed restaurant. I was very happy to hand over my money at the end of the meal. Surely that’s all that matters?</p>

<p>With respect, 'excellent' is just an adjective, nothing else. Having started this chat, the more I hear about this Kinome place, the more dubious I am. Speaking as someone who's lived in Japan, which is surely the foodie capital of the world, if you want really good authentic sushi, it's almost always got to be made by Japanese people. You've got to be steeped in that culture and tradition, I think, rather than just someone coming along and tinkering around, trying to be clever and getting…</p>

<p>I don’t see any “haters”. People, including me are intrigued by the pop up. I am a bit surprised by the quick demise (?) of Kasbah, as I was seeing it pop up!</p>
<p>Did you know that those shops are still in the Tottenham Green conservation area and the shop fronts need planning permission?</p>

<p>We have a massive KFC opening up opposite Holcomb Mrkt. Just after German Doner. So yes this pop up is intriguing. They location is actually quite a good one if they know how to arrange it. Tottenham Green has no food places.

<p>For other haters out there, be happy that something new popps up here that is not a chicken shop (KFC are just opening on the high road...) <br/>Also don't get me wrong I really like SH and I shop there regularly both for food and the Japanese ingredients.</p>
<p>These guys are trying and I for one want to be supportive of new things in our area.</p>
