Quick Facts
Meet Syed Bashar, our founder
A hospitality career that began in the 1980s, and the reason Jaflong still cooks the way it does. Syed learned the trade the long way — prep benches, tandoors and late-night service — before opening the doors of Jaflong Tandoori.
Today he still signs off every catering menu personally, from Richmond weddings to corporate events across the borough.
