Pakistani street food on Gran Via from the Alam brothers (Fish & Chips Shop). Named after their mother. Punjabi home cooking, natural wines, younger crowd.
The Delekta Review
The Alam brothers — Mani, Majid and their brother-in-law Bilal — had been running Fish and Chips Shops around Barcelona for years before, in 2019, they finally turned to the food they actually grew up eating. Baby Jalebi is the result: Pakistani home cooking named for Mani's mother, nicknamed as a child after the fried dough spiral she couldn't stop eating. The Punjabi DNA is clear in the karahi-style chicken, the palak paneer, the dahi bale yogurt salad and the fried okra with tamarind that has become a local cult dish. The chicken tikka shawarma durum is a smart Barcelona adaptation. Finish with jalebis and gulab jamun. The room is young and loose — graphic art, alcohol on the list, a lunch menu that undercuts almost anything in Sant Antoni. Not fine dining and all the better for it.
