Brick Lane is a great multicultural area, and a fantastic place to go if you love curries. In the heart of Brick Lane is Taj Stores. It was founded in 1936, making it one of the oldest international grocers in the UK. If you're interested in the history of the shop read this post in Spitalfields Life.
They sell authentic Bangladeshi foods, like Kala Jeera rice. As you would expect, there's a particularly good selection of spices, and a good turnover helps keep the spices fresh.
The fresh produce is flown in daily from Bangladesh and other foods coming from countries like India, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Japan, Greece, Lebanon, and Jamaica.
They are open 7 days a week from 9am - 9pm and all public holidays!
