In a new column FRESH. Faves owners, Sara Ford and Alice Loombe, shine a spotlight on Ely businesses. The first is Bengal Brunch, which they describe as a must-visit culinary gem.
Ely is home to many wonderful foodie spots, but one hidden treasure you absolutely can’t miss is Bengal Brunch.
Tucked in the centre of Market Street, Bengal Brunch is run by Zahid Ahmed, a local legend who previously ran the popular Sylhet Indian Restaurant in the same location.
In 2024, the restaurant evolved and was given a complete makeover turning it into the modern, cosy brunch spot that you can visit for your next weekend treat!
Bengal Brunch combines the best of traditional Bengali cuisine with a modern brunch twist – and it’s quickly becoming a local favourite.
