Kolaphata in Tower Hamlets

Kolapata has amazing Bangladeshi food, connecting you to the culture of the Asian country. Food has wonderful taste and SPICE. The restaurant service is a little slow, yet manageable. Food doesn't cost much. The restaurant is hard to get to via public transport. A tip - their mix bhorta gives you a lot - making a great price-saver.

Went there with my friends. The food was top class. Then after when we had the finni, I have lost my words. The best ever finni I have ever had. We will be back again❤️ Thanks to the staffs

Am leaving 5star for now but if they charge hidden tax and service then I will remove 5star with zero star so give me good service I will be staying 7th Jan till 14th jan so don't charge extra or play tricks with vat tax service charge I had terrible experience in Bangladesh when I went fir holiday they looted me

Worst kachhi biriyani you can ever have. Food was definitely a day old. Lola pats food quality gone worst. I should have tried other biriyani places.

Lamb chops were nicely spiced (the edges were a bit burnt and one of the pieces was quite choey). Haleem was the star dish, it was absolutely delicious (a must to try). Bhorta plater consisted of 4 types of food. 3 of them tasted similar and the fourth one wasn’t for us (we just lift it). Fosca and mango lasi, garlic naan and rice pudding were all good. The spiciness of food was too much for me. Suitable prices and nice employees.

Khub bhalo ambience ekebare bangali mote,very cordial staff - Biriyani darun/ Bhorta amazing - jhurjhure bhat er songe darun khete bhuna very good aar bhorta platter is delicious- sobche boro kotha - Kolapata is very welcoming/ very good quality of authentic Bangladeshi cuisine and very reasonably priced and quite near to Whitechapel Station!

Food was cold not testy , Customer service was very poor , I was went to wash my hand to the wash room and I seen that Kolapata staff was washing Leg in to the hand bacin also staff was smoking in the kitchen.after this experiance I will never go there.

Been going there for few years know the food and service is always amazing and never disappointed. My favourite is the Kala Bhuna and haleem

Best Chaap in London! AMAZING❤️ Would recommend to everyone. Great service and staff. Clean environment.

I’ve heard about and seen Kolapata restaurant on many occasions so I finally decided to try it for myself with a friend joining me. We started off with a Kolapata mix grill which comes with lamb chops, chicken tikka and sheek kebab, the chops were average at best very lightly spiced and quite tough to chew on, the sheek kebabs were frozen supermarket kebabs and the chicken tikka had no spice at all. The chicken tikka was precooked and reheated in the microwave, it was rock solid and bone dry with zero flavour it was so bad in fact that we sent it back and replaced it for another piece of sheek kebab instead. We ordered a Kacchi biryani, Shoreesha Ilish and chicken roast for mains with a mix bhorta. The kacchi biryani was overloaded with raisins or sultanas, it came with two pieces of meat on the bone which had barely any meat on, the biryani was served with a egg korma which was hideous it had sour notes to it and tasted off again this was pre cooked and reheated. The chicken roast was average and the shoreesha ilish was average too these two products would get 3/5 but the mix grill would get 1/5 starts and the biryani 2/5. Service was ok 3/5. I would avoid this place and try somewhere else on Whitechapel road as there are so many Bengali restaurants in that vicinity, I would hazard a guess that this place was good in its heyday and it’s just surviving on its name now.

In 8 years of searching for a good and authentic Bangladeshi restaurant serving dishes and flavours that are actually like those in Bangladesh (instead of Indian/Pakistani/Western flavours and dishes), I’ve finally found Kolapata! Dishes are authentic and delicious. Highly recommend a visit if you want to try true Bangladeshi food. Meal deal is great value

Nice Bangladeshi food. Taste, portion, service, ambiance worth a try. Easily reachable, secure as its on main road. Good place to eat.

Authentic Bengali food which reminds you of dhaka restuarants 👻 The best dishes are bhuna khichuri and kacchi (unripe) biriyani. The staff are really friendly and the ambience is decent.

Great food and good service. Most of the dishes are authentic Bengali//Bangladeshi and the I actually come here for the Chitpoti and Fujka, THE best street food that’s hardly available anywhere. Highly recommended

It was our first visit to Kolapata, we had the Kacchi biriyani, grills, and puchka and bhuna beef. The Kacchi biriyani rice was very fluffy, with lovely tender pieces of lamb on the bone, the flavouring and textures were just right. The puchka was light and crispy on the outside with a very fresh, hot and flavoursome filling. All the grills and naan were very fresh too. The service was excellent, really nice to find an authentic Bengali restaurant in Whitechapel, we will definitely be visiting again.

Friendly atmosphere & delicious Bangladeshi foods. As a family, we always go there…specially for Fosca, Haleem, Lamb Biryani, Mixed Grill & Kacchi Biryani. This is an excellent place to enjoy Bangladeshi foods.

Great Bangladeshi Food. We always come for the Fuska. Delicious biriyani and mixed grill. Friendly service.

We went to eat here on a girls' night out. They charged for Kacchi Biriyani and then served a somewhat Tehari with mostly gristly sinewy pieces and chopped chunks of mutton fat. Kacchi tastes very flavourful and comes with a big piece of meat done...

Genuinely the worst food I’ve put in my mouth. Everything from the frozen section with the fridge right next to our table. Entire family had stomach issues after eating this.

Three of us went. We had street food starters, but they were bland. However owner said he was experimenting with a new flattened meat steak starter which was lovely. The rest of the food was good solid Bangladeshi food, fried fish, potato bhorta…all great and...

Small Bangladeshi restaurant We came for family meal while passing through London. We came on recommendation from a friend. The food was edible but nothing spectacular. Starters were warm and would have been better hot and the main meals were average again. Portions are a...

Have dined here many times, excellent food here, kichuri biriyani is one of the best, also their chotpotti is very decent.

I am from New York, have my fair share of good and questionable $$ Desi restaurants. Kolapata was great, while we were in London, we decided to go there couple of times. Kala vuna, Vuna Khichuri, Chicken roast were our favorite. Was not super impressed...

This restaurant should be a good choice for anyone intends to try authentic Bangladeshi food. They have a decent menu of typical Bangladeshi food including Hilsha fish, Bhuna Khichuri, and different types of Biriyani. The owner was probably the most honest restaurant owner I have...

I always come to this restaurant when I crave for Bangladeshi cuisine. Their food is always great! If you are willing to try something other than the usual chicken tikka masala and korma ( I think they have those dishes too probably) please visit this...

Nothing special but you always know what you're getting when you come here. Authentic Bengali foods. We only be here for their fuchka & chotpotti! Reasonable price. Friendly staff. Just the Quality of the food needs massive improvements.

After few weeks break came back to test the authentic Bangladeshi foods. Starter - Haleem then main course of shorisa Elisha, egg fried rice, dal, white rice, vegetables biryani. Service was excellent and prompt service

Very nice set meal selection for 2 people. Delicious foods , me and my friend was very happy and not very expensive.

Another delicious meal by Kolapta. We Bengali crave for Elish fish, very boney fish. Very good service.

Food cooked it to perfection delicious tasty and so much flavor .we order few items and all was melted in your mouth .

Cuando uno está acostumbrado a la comida en Bradford, en cualquier otro lugar no es lo suficientemente bueno para un curry. Sin embargo, Kolapata fue una elección decente para una familia hambrienta después de un día en Londres. Estábamos ansiosos de handi roti después de un largo día de comida rápida y bocadillos. . Pedimos lo siguiente:

Was looking for quick lunch. Popped into Kolapta, selected the Kachi biryani which was served within very short time. Taste was delicious. Try them if you want authentic Bangladeshi foods.

Vine aquí con amigos para una comida iftar, y el personal distribuía platos individualmente a todos los que estaban sentados. Solo ofrecieron una comida iftar (lo mismo) a todos los que hacen algunos restaurantes, así que está bien.

One of the best Bangali Restaurant in east london. Their staff is very friendly. Great environment. Lovely food with Deshi Music �. I like their Borhani’ it’s one of the best drink I like .Just superb . I most say if you don’t go Kolapata you miss something for sure �

Been couple of time kolapata in Whitechapel. Today I had haleem Take way with nan bread.it was very terrible test.good was cold .there is no meat in haleem. We lucky to found few meat it's taste like the old curry they mixed with lentils.whatever left over. It's really worst food I had from them.terrible.

Well, the restaurant serves bengali and Indian foods. Not bad at all if You go there for indian food.

I have visited tonight Kolapata restaurant After a long time and I have taken my best mate to this restaurent Unfortunately, the service was really bad as well as the food. They also do not have everytging I wanted.It is very unexpected because I have been going to this restautent since past more than 10 years. Probably the manager was the real Lier. I hope they will lookinto this issue seriously because We all love Kolapata.

kolapata is one of my all time favorite.if any one want to eat proper Bangladeshi food your first and last choice will be kolapata. Very friendly,feel like a small Bangladesh on UK.

Das Restaurant ist sehr take-away-mässig eingerichtet, aber das Essen ist nicht nur günstig sondern auch lecker. Es wird vor allem von Leuten aus Bangladesh besucht, der Kellner (Besitzer?) war gesprächig und freundlich.

Fue una gran experiencia culinaria en Londres esta vez en este restaurante. Alimentos muy sabrosos, limpio, sonriente los miembros del equipo de trabajo para el restaurante sirve comida - verdaderamente un sello de este gran restaurante.

This restaurant is ideal if one is craving home style cooked Bengali meal. My husband and I went with our Chacha and Chachi and had the best time.

Cuando en Londres por negocios, este es el lugar para entrar en comer, si te gusta la comida de Bangladesh, son rápidas y sí el servicio es bueno también, recomiendo este lugar ya que la comida es genial y es un buen lugar para reunirse con clientes y amigos, es un lugar conocido para la mayoría de la gente alrededor de la torre.

I have been coming here since 2005, but last night 24/07/2017 took my friend ( after telling highly about it ) but I was really really disappointed with the hardest lamb chop.

He cenado dos veces en este restaurante. El personal es muy amable, en particular, en la que mantiene Manik preguntando si todo está bien? Bien, la comida es deliciosa y muy bien preparado. El restaurante también está muy limpio. También debe pedir té bengalí, se prepara muy bien y es muy sabrosa. El personal sabe qué especias debería utilizar para darle un gran sabor. Debería sin duda recomiendo este lugar.

buena variedad de platos picantIsimos, sabrosos y atractivos, ademAs al no vender wellos alcohol permiten que uno lleve el suyo desde fuera lo que permite mitigar la agradable picazon, los precios son convenientes

A diferencia de la mayoría de mis amigos, estoy interesado en la comida de Bangladesh.

I had a bhuna kichuri which one is no taste at all.I have complain about it but they doesnt bothered.And very poor service

Das Essen war gut, allerdings nicht überragend. Die Atmosphäre im Lokal ist etwas kühl, vor allem wenn wenig Gäste da sind. Das Personal ist aufmerksam und freundlich. Alkohol wird dort nicht serviert.

Food are very tasty real taste of origional bangladeshi kitchen khichuri with Beef and bhorta are remarkable

We had Bangladeshi food after long long time, especially Kacchi biriyani. The food quality and service was really amazing. They also provide fresh salad and curries of different varieties.

We been in the same restaurant before. Many many times. Really really nice and tasty food this time, compare to before. Loved it and will be back soon.

Kolapata is an excellent Bangladeshi restaurant offering authentic Bangladeshi food and grilled food. The biryani is perfect and rich in taste.

simply the best restaurant,food is awesome.specially beef vuna,and Kachi Biriyani Shoirsha Elish,homely environment.

Posiblemente el mejor de Bangladesh/Restaurante bengalí en Londres. Venden auténticos platos utilizando ingredientes bengalí bengalí. Debe probar el pescado, para llegar y biryani haleem una idea de lo que ello comer para el almuerzo y la cena. También prueba la famosa calle fosca (panipuri comida), para empezar, nos encanta el lugar.

Today my colleague and his friend from Newcastle we are trio was in Kolapata for late lunch. I deeply regret to go there because of kachi biriany I had. With in hour stomach pain I had to run to home Whitechapel to all the way goodmayes. I think I am having food poison and feeling terrible. Sorry everyone if you wish to have desi good food honestly is not the place.

hank you so much kolapata restaurant for taking such wonderful care of ours during our visits.The food was absolutely wonderful and delicious,from preparation to presentation,very pleasing,we enjoyed kolapata traditional foods,there environment is so friendly.Once again thank you so much for everything,all kolapata staff helped to make our dinner that way,we will be back again and again specially for your food .i personally recommend all my friend and family to visit kolapata.,

La última experiencia no fue agradable, pero ayer fue excelente.

Not the way how used to be. Kacchi Biryani is very bad. It's not worthy to go there anymore .poor service.they only take cash .

Solía como ellos hasta mi reciente visita después de un año. Dios mío qué pérdida de tiempo y dinero. Sucio como el infierno, sólo en el buffet salsa izquierda; no hay carne o vegetales. Por favor no malgastes tu energía va allí. Estoy seguro de que hay mejores lugares alrededor

Mi amigo me llevó a este lugar mientras yo estaba de visita en Londres él. Un buen servicio al cliente, personal muy amable, me hizo sentir que estaba en algún lugar en Dhaka recibió hospitalidad dhakaiya. Comimos fuchka shorshe ilish, bhaat, taki maacher, bhorta bhorta daal - dim, y lassi. Fuchka y lassi estaban bien y la bhortas estaban deliciosos. El ilish maach no tenían ningún sabor de ilish. Pedí algunas kacchi biriyani, para llevar a cabo la comida y todo el camino de Londres a Aylesbury para disfrutar de kacchi biriyani al día siguiente con mi marido. Esperamos todo el día para disfrutar después de un largo día de trabajo. Al abrir la caja, que era tan decepcionante encontrar apenas había carne en el biriyani; sólo un par de huesos. En general, un buen servicio al cliente, pero los productos de mala calidad.

Después de ir de compras fuimos allí porque ha sido recomendado. La comida era insípido. Ellos no cambiaría la comida, aunque no tienen. La coca-cola era plana. No tenían latas. Tampoco tienen Fork. No había servicio de atención al cliente. Nunca jamás volvería allí de nuevo.

We went there with my family but we were very dissatisfied because of services .Food is okay but the management can improve the quality & services .....
