Our story · Visit
A Bengali family store on Hillside Ave since 2008. We hand-pick everything we sell, check its quality, and keep one low, fixed price for everyone.
Before Al Hamra
Our family was among the early Bengali families to settle in Jamaica, Queens, long before the neighborhood grew into the Bengali community it is today. We are part of the Fatema family group, and our uncles owned Fatema Grocery, Jamaica’s first Bengali grocery.
2008
Al Hamra Collection has served the community since 2008. Today you’ll find us at 167-13 Hillside Ave, under the blue awning.
Quality first
We have the largest variety of inventory in New York City—there’s no other store like it. That’s why we call it Collection: hand-picked.
We hand-select our merchandise and check its quality before it comes into the store. Paying less should never mean settling for less: we want you to leave with better quality and better value.
Handpicked from Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai, Saudi Arabia and around the world.
Fair prices
We’d seen stores start with an inflated price and expect back-and-forth bargaining, the way it’s often done back home. We wanted a simpler, fairer way to shop. So our prices are low and fixed for everyone: no negotiating, and no wondering whether someone else got a better deal.
We keep our prices low by buying in bulk, in service of our community.
The neighborhood
Through local businesses, event sponsorships and giving back, our family has helped the Bengali business community here grow. You’ll see it on packed Eid shopping days.
Al Hamra shopping bags have become a neighborhood icon. All over Jamaica, you see them in people’s hands.
Eid & the holidays
Al Hamra is part of the lifeline of how families here celebrate Eid and the holidays. We’re the busiest store for Eid shopping in all of New York City. From outfits to the finishing touches, we help families get ready for the celebrations that bring us together.
Your milestones
From a baby’s first outfit to Eid mornings, wedding celebrations and growing children, families have trusted us with the moments that matter, and with ordinary days too.
Today
New items come in all the time, bringing the latest trends here first—from Kashmiri bangles to fresh finds for your next outfit. Familiar essentials sit alongside unexpected pieces, so there’s always a reason to come back.
Selected excerpts from Google Maps reviews. Individual experiences, not an overall rating.
“The quality of the clothes and prices are great!”
“The staff members are so kind and caring, and they definitely cater to your needs.”
“They have an elegant collection of traditional dresses that suit hijabis very well. Prices are reasonable.”
Context from the same review: she recommends extra care when hanging the dresses, describing delicate fabric and threads coming out easily.
In the press
BABSHA (Bangladeshi American Business Society of Hillside Ave), Instagram reel, Nov 6, 2025
Parvin, a long-time member of the Al Hamra team, spoke with BABSHA in Bengali. From the reel’s English subtitles:
I’ve been working for a long time, 15 years. I enjoy working here.
Working here, In sha Allah, I keep good relationships with my customers and we have good conversations so I enjoy working here.
You’ve welcomed us into your family’s celebrations, trusted us with your wedding outfits, and returned as your children have grown. Since 2008, it’s been our privilege to be part of your everyday lives and special moments. Thank you for making Al Hamra part of this community.
With thanks, The Al Hamra family
