Me & My spouse stayed in London from 1998 to 2001 with student status, I am from Korea and my wife from Taiwan, did have much information in London to stay make ending to stay in Brick lane.

We visited & shopped manay times there and always greeted by these brother( back then they were much younger and always parked their yello BMW coup in front shop~)

It was so touching to see them through google and hope we could make return journey soon!

A great service being provided by Taj Storesince early 1950 to the British Bangladeshi community in the UK particularly, in East London.
The three brothers Joynal, Junel and Jamal, together, are carrying the legacy set by their father Mr. Abdul Khaleque and uncles Mr. Abdul Jabbar and Mr. Abdul Rahman.

Whenever I visit Taj Store, atleast one of the three brothers are always to be found greeting customers with their natural smile, politeness, respect and salam. Humble in their nature, these three brothers have set themselves as a role model to many small business entrepreneurs not only in East London but also to many such grocery shops all over the UK.

I wish them well and a safe and happy life; to serve the British Bangldeshi Sylheti community for many years to come.

Dr. Hasanat Husain MBE,
Patron and Chairperson of the Founding Years of
Greater Sylhet Council in the UK

as the daughter of immigrants who lived and died in a foreign land, i’m always touched to read similar stories about other immigrants who left their homes and travelled to places that bore no resemblance to their own and left their mark in an unforgotten way in their new world

i also notice (but perhaps I’m wrong) a sense of novelty in the way that the gentle author describes the Taj wares on display – despite the long presence of the asian community in brick lane, there is still an element of foreignness about them

Truly a group of men/family to be respected. Not only keen and clever businessmen, they also protect the local community and remember the historical roots.

Truly amazing, and I wish them godspeed.
