After days of contemplating and with recommendations from my friends I decided to give it a try of their food. I was recommended by a staff member to try theirPaella accompanied with roti. I guess I made the worst decision the paella was bland, it was watery and tasteless. The freshly made roti was soft and crispy. The only thing tasted well was the green chillies. The cucumber salad was equally made. The place was cramped and the decor was bad too.

We were very happy that we came here. Being from Bangladesh, we wanted to try Bangladeshi food in LAs Little Bangladesh area. This is the first restaurant that opened in this area and theyve been in business for ~ 20 years. The restaurant/dine-in area is separated from its grocery sections. Weve found every item to be delicious but one must try the Beef paya (with parata) and Rohu fry with Rice (add gravy items too). Parata is large enough for 2 people easily. Price was very decent too.Oh, dont forget to treat yourself with Bangladeshi sweets!

They only have the name Aladin but the quality of food does not represent the brand at all. The food taste is below average. I took some takeout and could not eat it as it went bad the same day. The sweets are also not up to the mark. Do yourself a favor and dine somewhere else.

This is place is one of the worst place I have ever been. The food are rotten. I think the LA health dept should investigate their kitchen and shut their place. I gotten sick having their food. Second, their behavior is extremely rude and unprofessional. They take their customers as granted and do whatever they like. Third, and most importantly, I think most of the five star reviews are fake. They create google account and give fake review, so they can fool the customers. I think if you talk about food quality to anyone in person, 70% people will say about their rude behave and rotten food. Dont fall into their scam, choose another healthy place. And finally, if there is any option, I would give them -1000 star as this place is the worst restaurant in whole LA.

Very poor customer service. There is a guy in the counter who does not know how to talk to a customer. Rude behavior. Extremely disappointing.[Based on the response from the management. I could not find any option to reply. I just wanted to add some details. It happened recently.] The management guy was extremely rude when we wanted to make a big order and requested for a small courtesy discount. We were totally surprised, astonished and bewildered to see a management person in the US could behave like this. This was beyond our imagination. I hope they will correct themselves.

Best vegetarian meal at very good prices. will visit soon...highly recommended 👌

We came from other state where we could not get Bengali restaurant, here finally after 2 years we got authentic bengali food. The taste was so good, really liked. The owner is also very good, well behaved. I strongly recommend the restaurant.

First time to try this place. Ordered Mutton Curry ($5.99) + Fried Rice ($2.99) to go. The mutton curry is so good. It’s very oily but if you mix it well to get more of the good stuff in the sauce, it’s tastes so good. The portion is quite generous. I love that some portion of the mutton are the fatty parts. Spice level is mild. Perfect enough to make you want to eat more of their rice. I would get the regular steamed rice next time as the fried rice isn’t really fried rice. They just added a little amount if the orange stuff and some spices on top of the white rice and that’s it. $1 additional charge. All in all, it was a good meal. I would come back to try their biryani and other curry dishes.

I love there foods. I tried so many dishes like prawn vorta, kala vuna, fish fry, and so on. Everything tasted like authentic Bangladeshi foods. Also their frozen fish and beef are good. I would recommend to try their sweet items too.

I would never have chosen to come here had it not been for word of mouth. Its a typical southern Asian (mainly Bengali) grocery store. Not much to look at, so dont go by the looks. Parking is in the back. We came here when it was pouring so got parking spots but I doubt youd be able to find them on a regular day and it is supremely difficult to get the car out of that lot. Might as well park on the street if you can.Now onto the food. The fish curry was deliciousness personified. We ordered rohu which was cooked really well and had great flavor. I was warned that Bengali food may not live up to my expectations of spicy but this was very well-seasoned and made me happy. We ordered a white rice and a chapati to go with it. The chapati was huge and more like a laccha paratha. Decent when hot, difficult to break when it got colder.We ordered a chicken biryani too, which was just ok. Tasted better the next day when we had it for leftovers. But this place is not the place for biryani.The rasgulla we had for dessert was ok, a little too sweet for us. We had wanted the dessert that had a pink middle but didnt know the right name to get it across to the person.Definitely come here for the fish curry. Big thumbs up for that.

Aladin Sweets & Market Inc. is a Bangladeshi restaurant in downtown LA. We came here a couple of times. Their food is so good, with a few exceptions. I would recommend you to try their Biryani Chicken, Kachchi Biriyani, Tahari, Chicken Roast, Beef Curry, Chicken Puff, Chicken Samosa, Lassi, and Borhani. If you are a fan of Bangladeshi desserts, you can try their Roshgullah, Rasmalai, Laddu, and Doi. The price seems a little bit high. Their overall service is also pretty good. However, the parking to this place is tricky. There is a very narrow space through which you need to go behind the store.

Apart from the sandesh(A traditional bengali sweet) everything sucked big time at this place. They probably throw the meat from their deep freezers into their curries directly. Make sure to bring a board game over to this place so that you can use the mutton pieces as dice for the game. Its tougher than any mf in LA.

Super delicious and fresh food....feel like home....reasonable price...😊😊😊

GOOD.Bangladeshi Restaurant,BIG ELshA,MRigal/RuI..&Chana./Sweet..Buy

Thank you everyone for your support as we celebrate our 26th year.

The best Bangladeshi food I have eaten in the US. A gem. I wish they open more franchises in Northern California. All of us from North Calfornia have to drive almost 6 hours to have their fantastic food. Brilliant, and I wish I had more stars!

Awesome Bangladeshi food for a reasonable price. The chicken curry had a homemade vibe, one of the highlights of my trip to LA.

Love the paratha there also the paiya

The food was ecnomical, staff was good they should be more careful about the cleanliness.

One of the best Bangladeshi restaurants in LA. Everything Inexpensive and very tasty food😋. Highly recommend to shop from here ☺️

Delicious Bangladeshi food items and grocery! Love this place.

This place is easy to overlook, but...don’t. At minimum, waltz into the cramped market section and spend $2 on some sort of ready to go savory pastry. The chicken somosas and puffs are exquisite, as is the fried ground beef balls. The chicken bhoti kabab stole the show with its unbelievable flavor and tenderness and a proper kick of chili and spice. The doi is new for me, a sort of sweet yogurt dessert, but recommended. Whatever you get, make sure to order some fresh made paratha to go with it. Also, you wouldn’t know unless you venture deeper into the store but they have a fairly spacious dining area so you can enjoy a Bengali chai at the end of your meal. Can’t wait to go again.

Warm and friendly. Feels like home .

Love love love the food this one chef named Rozina best cookher food so good please tell her that her food is the bestthank you the food so so so good its yummyim not anha

Nice for Bengali people to have food.

Good place for Pakistani/Bengali halal food. Good service, great tasting good. I love their Beef Paya and Luddo. Their fish looked tasty but I have not tried it yet. Will try next time.

Love their food. But sweets are the best

Its called good quality food..

Best place for Bangladeshi food!

If you cannot behave well with your customers, then there is no reason for us to go back. Please learn how to behave well.

A great find for fans of authentic Bangla food and Mishti! I took a couple of friends and we tried a variety of dishes (Ilish, Chicken Roast, Muglai Paratha, Mutton) and were very satisfied. But the best part was certainly the sweets especially the Mishti Doi! The place is small, seating is limited and table service can be spotty but they definitely make it up with the flavor. Highly recommended!

They have very good yogurt, just like in bangladesh. They also have great Nehari.We were looking for authentic bengali Nehari for a while, even in NYC, but couldnt find it. Well, we found it now. Amazing customer service. The guys working there are very nice and helpful.

The beef was great. Not spicy but flavorful.

Food is good. But restuarant need to be renovated, very poor condition, I took my full family (13) persons none of them are happy with service and condition of the shop.Some suggestion1. If there is a broke table please repair it by yourself,no need to hire any body, it is matter of few pins2. Entrance is not welcoming, feels like going to a deshi moodi dukan (grocery shop)..people go for food, so they look for hygiene and proper cleaning.3.when people go for deshi food does not mean they have to see deshi grocery shops style. Our kids need to be happy to go there. If it is nice and clean lot of outsider customer will go and will create better impressions about the country too.All of us like those food, we tried 7/8 different menus.

Best place to eat very delicious bengali food.

Fish items smelled very bad, dont try Koi or Rohu fish. Hilsha was ok.

While giving the vouchers/bills against each purchase it would be better if unit rate and quantity of each items are shown. I could only see total price of each item in the voucher from where quanity and rate of each item could not be known..

Great workers delicious food

The staff was very kind and the restaurant is easy to get to with its location.

Buyers beware! Looks good but tastes rotten. When you call to make a complaint they mock you and tell you that you are lying.

Great Bangla food.

I really love this place. They have a great Alain Sweets & Market Inc and great service. Ive even got delivery before and it was great. Great value great people great food. Come for the lunch buffet. Champagne brunch on weekends.

Aladin is a Bengali grocery store i like. Everything has here whats i choose.. And sales man are very nice though good behaviour.

Restaurant and Grocery shop for Bangladeshi food and spices at center place of little Bangladesh.

This place was recommended by a friend to try their paya. Hands down the best paya breakfast I ever had. Omelette and paratha was really good too. Met two nicest ladies—-in the middle of LA with all kinds of people to deal with it would be very hard to be nice and courteous for me. I am very impressed by their service.

Vary good food

Best place to eat halal food with great prices 😋

Great food and staff.

Clean bathroom and nice food

I will never go Aladin again. They serve stale food.

Best Tehari in Los Angeles, The worst Kacchi also but loved their Roshgolla :)

Very very good service. Top quality Bengali Food at very cheap price. Serving size is very large too. They were open an extra hour just because we hadnt finished eating. The raw fish available is very fresh, cheap and tastes great after cooking! Hands down one of the best stores Ive ever been to.

What else would a girl want?? I live a block away and usually cook for two people. This place has everything I need, carry them in small packages and have awesome staff on top of it! And the quirky hipster packaged goods (organic drinks, nice alcohol selections, unusual sweets) they carry are always fun to try. Its like a Whole Foods and Jewel Osco combined in the size of a 7 Eleven. Its perfect, although yes the meat selection can be a bit limited.

Great Iftar and service.

They have really good home cooked food at amazingly low price, unheard of🙂🙂🙂

Very good Bengali food. There are many Bengali restaurants around this area but this one tops the others when it comes to flavors.

This place is a short 3 minute walk from my home and I frequent this small, yet extremely well stocked grocery weekly. Great deli, butcher, wine/beer and produce sections (I can get daikon here). Also a wide array of international selections like Thai, Indian and Mexican items. The prices are pretty decent as well.

I must say their sweets taste delicious than others similar places. Now this the only place I buy sweets, they are 40 min drive from my place but worth it. It reminds me of Pakistani sweets.

I bought two whole chicken from this store which was rotten. I realized it when I cooked one of them and couldn’t even eat it because it was smelling something wrong. So I just threw the food in the trash. Next week when I took out the other one from my refrigerator I realized it was rotten already. So I just trashed that one too.I will never shop again from them.

Best Indian food in the neighborhood. Great for delivery, even better to stay. Great ambiance -- super clean, mellow lighting, extremely friendly/happy staff.

Very very good service. Top quality Bengali Food at very cheap price. Serving size is very large too. They were open an extra hour just because we hadnt finished eating. The raw fish available is very fresh, cheap and tastes great after cooking! Hands down one of the best stores Ive ever been to.

Poor service and rude.

Nice food

Good,Bangladeshi Food/Grocery

Foods are little pricey but its worth it. Try the Lobster curry গলদা চিংড়ি, the taste is heavenly. The staffs are friendly and helpful. Sweets are okay!

Worst experience ever.

This grocery store is oldest in the community for south asian food and spice. Never knew that they sell expired items by scratching out the expiry date. Last time I bought around 10 blocks of different kinds of fish. I even didn’t think about checking the expiry date because I never thought they would sell any item without an expiry date. When I came home and surprisingly found that 7 out of those 10 blocks of fish had expiry date wiped out by scratching the date printed on it. I assume that those packets are actually expired. So disappointed after seeing that.

Not bad I would say this the first Bangladesh restaurant in that Area Build in 1989 not the Building Restaurant my younger Days we used come here a lot.Ronald Regan was the presedents of the United States of America Back then today I spend sometime here service was very good like the Family strle Back of Bangladesh.

My girlfriend is Bengali and this place reminds her so much of her mothers cooking, foods amazing honestly. Please support local business and check this spot out in little Bangladesh!

Their food is so bad,they always overcharged,quantity of food is little and when you order,they don’t give your food but they take your money.Haram eaters and thieves.stay away from this place.

Great place to have Bangladeshi style foods! They have kachchi biriyani with chutney which tastes very authentic! All other foods were tasty and fresh as well. The price is very reasonable except for the deserts. I wish they could make the sweets a little smaller in size and charge less. But overall it’s a very nice place to dine in and take away. Best wishes!

This place is great. Of course you get all the great produce and selection that come with all whole foods locations, but you get a bonus of great eye candy. If you want to see a beautiful woman, forget going to bars or gyms, go here! They are literally everywhere. I would give 5 stars but whole foods in general is overpriced. I only go here for fresh meat and seafood. People who come here to buy sandwich bags just make me laugh.

Tasty chicken curry lamb was just bones in oil.

Though not exactly a hole in the wall, this place will give you that impression the moment you enter. For the uninitiated, this is a Bengali style kitchen that is different from north/south Indian flavors.The spices are toned down and there is distinct sweetness in most items.The place also sells groceries and you can catch yourself a good exotic fish. The prices are on the super cheap side. If not for the restaurant, and if you live nearby, its a good place for ethnic grocery.

Its an all around good 10/10 restaurant. I love their food and they have wonderful customer service! Food was very good quality and place was clean. Dessert just excellent as well. It packed a lot off delicious food into a small restaurant, and I would recommend this restaurant to my friends. If you want delicious and original asian food, this is the place to go!!

Good Bangladeshi food. Clean than other Bangladeshi restaurant near by. Price is little bit higher than other than Bangladeshi restaurant. But quality is much better than other restaurants

Good shopping 🛍️

My review is regarding the cooked food. On the recommendation of my friends I went to try this place. The service was excellent. The chicken puff and Kachchi Biriyani was good. The chicken roast was just okay. The Rohu fish Fry was very bad. I took one bite and threw the rest away. The dish I was excited about was Shorisha Hilsha. It came with just one small piece of fish which was a big disappointment. The only thing I could taste was mustard and nothing else, not even the fish. If felt like the fish was cooked with mustard and nothing else.Next time I would go to Mayura for fish and Zam Zam market for biryani

My favorite place for Bengali delicacies. Whenever I miss my moms cooking, I come here. They have so many variety of fishes available here. And also Bengali sweets. I loved Golda chingri, loita sutki, pabda maach, Misti doi, fish roll and fresh vegetables.

Go here and get the pizza with chicken and ranch on it. DELICIOUS. Whenever someone wants Los Angeles food, I take them here. Its amazing, staff is super friendly, and their prices are very reasonable.

An excellent place for Bangladeshi food. The food tastes so good. Enjoyed a lot. They have wide varieties of sweets along with traditional meals. There is a good collection of groceries with both Indian and Bangladeshi brands.

The food here is awesome!!! Thank you for the hospitality and great food. If you are in the area and are looking for pastries or a delicious menu, check this place out.

The chicken shami kebabs are very good and the chicken karahi is excellent!!!

Simply unhealthy, oily & old foodI don’t wanna go there anymore. I will suggest to all of my friends don’t go there.Thanks . Really I’m not appreciate. . Also service quality is very bad

Great store, great service but expensive. They charge way more than other grocery stores.

This is one of the best places to eat in Lis Angeles. Always open, best fresh food, they can even make you a dish of your choice from scratch.Very hospitable and welcoming staff and owners.

Great service, great food and good price. Very traditional Indian family restaurant.They treat you like family and give very good recommendations and very friendly.A store and a restaurant mixed together is the best idea they made. A honest review by a ten year old.

The staff at this shop are thieves because when I ask for a price to buy a bottle of water case, a worker talks to his owner and then he brings the case and hides the cash register and set the price $8.99 crazy. It could be $ 2.99 or the maximum price would be $ 4.99.. When you go to the store beware those 2 people there is a light bread with the men (saiful) and the owners name is Johnny. They are rob you from restaurant to the grocery and you don’t understand that time after when reach your place than you realize that time it was late.. I referred don’t go Aladdin if you want bangali food there bounce of bangali food place in the Area..

The restaurant has good food, and they do catering prices. Have a good day.

Hands down the best Alain Sweets & Market Incon the east side. Quiet, peaceful atmosphere, super friendly and helpful staff, and clean.

Never been here before. The place looks like a dive, but the Bangladeshi food you get here is pretty good. The chicken kabobs were very flavorful with spices and tender. To my surprise they were one of the best places for kabobs. The sauces and the samosas were great too. I would be careful about some of the sauces because they can be spicy and have tiny bones in the meat. I dont remember everything I had but the food was good and inexpensive. The place is a hole in the wall and there is a market in the back. Service was kind of slow, but the food made up for it. It is very authentic. The decor is outdated and my seat came apart, no issue for me. 3.5 stars is my rating.The restaurant does have parking in the back. You gotta look out for it because you can miss it.

Vinces favorite Bangladeshi food place. He spends a lot there. If you like very spicy food and bones, its recommended. I am not a fan of food from this region of the world. Including Indian, Mediterranean, and such.

I used to love this place for Bangladeshi authentic food but now a day their food not like before. I have bad experience last two times . Food quality was bad .

I loved every bite. We ordered two dishes- paya and paratha. It was so heavenly and relishes. It was my first time to be there and has completely changed my palate forever as its remind me about my country (Pakistan) food. I enjoyed every bite and was so full that I took the left overs home. Definitely coming back again.

Fresh Fish and Bangladeshi curry available all throughout the year. Price and quality of fish is better than any other store. Best Hilsha is available here. I never was disappointed buying things here.

The food quality and the ambience all are complementing each other with decent stuff. Never found it empty.. Always filled with customers. Each and every items are most preferred and its sufficient for your hunger and not at all a pinch to your pocket.

What a terrible place to eat Bengali food. The food was stale. The fish was probably fried 10 days ago. They dont put salt in any of their items. On top of everything the food made us sick due to food poisoning. I am not sure why this place has such a high rating. This place should be closed down for serving food that can cause serious health issues.

Nice bangladeshi grocery store and restaurant. food is amazingly cheap. mouth watering sweet collection. I can just go to la to get some sweets from them.

Authentic Bangladeshi experience. Their Daal poori is to die for. Would definitely be going back when in LA again.

Good
