Tajla is Bangladeshi flavour, made fast – for people who expect more from their food.It all began with a simple dream.To serve the most delicious food, built on authentic traditional spices and marinades, using modern fast techniques.We grew up with food that took time – spices toasted by instinct, marinades built patiently, flavours that stayed with you long after the meal ended. But modern life doesn’t always allow for slow kitchens and long waits.So we asked ourselves:What if we could keep the soul of traditional Bangladeshi cooking, but deliver it with the speed and consistency people expect today?That idea became Tajla.

Wonderful restaurant! The food is spectacular and authentically arabic. We tried a combination of the mixed dips, olives and caramelised halloumi. These were all beautifully flavoured and delicious. We topped it off with the slow cooked lamb shoulder, the lamb was perfectly cooked and the jus was magical. We will definitely go back. Staff were attentive and the venue is a great spot for dinner.

Frequent diner. The service and food never fails to deliver. We had a child in a high chair and the wait staff were very patient and helpful and even held him so the mother could eat in peace. Highly recommended and excellent value.
