Who We Are
Food That Feels Like Home
Ranga Lounge was born in 2010 from a simple idea: that the food Bangladeshi families cook at home — the slow curries, the hand-rolled parathas, the saffron biryanis — deserved a proper home on Brick Lane.
Our founder Karim Chowdhury grew up between Sylhet and Stepney Green. He wanted to create a restaurant that felt honest — no shortcuts on spice blends, no compromises on sourcing, no pretending that a korma from a jar is the same as one made from scratch.
Fifteen years on, we still grind our own spice mixes each morning. We still use the same Hilsa supplier in Cardiff. And our head chef Rafiq still makes the Kacchi the way his grandmother taught him in Old Dhaka.
