The Jaflong Difference
Six Reasons Richmond Trusts Jaflong
Authentic, Not Adapted
Most Indian restaurants in London adapt their recipes to suit Western palates. Jaflong doesn't. Our dishes are rooted in the culinary traditions of Sylhet, Bangladesh — where spices are ground fresh, and recipes are passed down through generations. That's why our regulars say 'it tastes like home.'
47% of our customers visit at least twice a month.
40 Years of Culinary Knowledge
Our head chef has spent over 40 years mastering Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine — from street food stalls in Sylhet to catering for large gatherings in Richmond. That kind of knowledge doesn't come from a training course. It comes from decades of cooking for real people with real expectations.
Recipes perfected across 3 generations of family cooking.
Richmond's Most Trusted Halal Restaurant
Trusted halal sourcing isn't a menu option for us — it's a founding principle. Since opening in 2008, every protein we've served has been sourced from trusted halal suppliers. We can share supplier sourcing details on request. No exceptions, no grey areas.
Serving Richmond's halal-conscious community for 18 years without compromise.
A Community Staple, Not Just a Restaurant
We've fed children at Ham Village School, raised funds for cancer treatment, catered Eid and Diwali celebrations for hundreds of families, and fed NHS staff during the pandemic. Jaflong is part of Richmond's community fabric in a way no restaurant that opened in 2020 can claim to be.
