I really liked the Papdi Chaat appetizer we got--very strong flavor and crispy. The Karachi Keema Paratha (bread stuffed with spiced ground lamb) was also very flavorful and spicier than I expected. We also tried both the Rose Lassi and Mango Lassi. I think I still prefer the classic Mango Lassi but I'm glad I tried the Rose Lassi too. It was just a little too floral for me to drink regularly. The restaurant is dimly lit and perfect for a date night. Great spot for some decent Indian food, especially since there's not many in the area.

The fuchka was the main event; I liked the original a bit more than the yogurt variety (doi fuchka); the latter was sweet and a little more creamy, while the original had a nice spice and crisp that stood out. Chotpoti was excellent, every bite was a medley of flavor. The mango dish was very interesting; not my favorite, but definitely a very unique take on mango. Sour with a bit of spice, but not in the same way as adding Tajin. Queens never disappoints when it comes to diverse cuisine!

I discovered that a Bangladesh street food called fushka is very popular, so decided to try for my first time. Tong is highly rated and their menu is simple. I ordered the Doi Fuchka ($7), which comes as crispy, hollow puri shells stuffed with a savory mashed potato and chickpea mixture. The difference in the doi is that it is topped with a yogurt to balance the spice for a creamier texture. I liked this a lot, especially with the tamarind sauce too (though this got a bit messy). This is nothing like I've ever tasted with so many different textures going on. It hits you with spicy, sweet, savory, crunchy, creamy, chewy and everything all at once. It comes with 8 pieces, which is perfect to share with 2-3 people. Definitely something to check out!

The service is always pleasant and top notch. Very much a home style energy and for me it always feels really inviting. Not gonna lie the ceiling design is also probably the best I've seen in the city lol, very unexpected. Lot of treats and sweet if you're into it Will definitely keep coming back here, congrats to the family running it!

Their hospitality and their consistency is what keeps me going back to them. I am a huge lover of fuchkas and pani puri and I always have to debate on which one to get, but at this cart, I always end up getting everything. I simply can't say no to a plate of pani puri. Their dahi puri is by far, my favorite. The dahi yogurt just adds this creaminess and the tanginess from the tamarind just ties everything together. It really reminds me of a famous fuchka shop back in Bangladesh. I have been craving that flavor and finding this cart made the long search end. I also love the authentic street food vibe of this cart. It's a cart in the busiest parts of Jackson Heights and they offer stools to sit on just like the spots back in Bangladesh. I honestly love coming here for a late night bite and it's even better during Chand Raat (the night before Eid) because it's extremely busy but the vibe is so fun and reminds you of street markets.

Run by a mom & daughter duo, Amma & Nur-E are truly so down-to-earth, full of positivity, and their energy is luminous. Amma is genuinely passionate about her craft and unbelievably humble! We arrived 10 minutes before 8pm and were greeted by Nur-E who literally shook our hands and welcomed us with open arms. The restaurant seats ~18 people so you can imagine how intimate, curated, and deeply rooted in tradition this dinner felt. Amma is from Dhaka, Bangladesh and with every course that came out, Nur-E described it to us in her expert storytelling ways! Everything we had was incredible. The Mango Lassi is blended by hand for that perfect consistency and refreshing, lightly sweet, homemade taste! After 5 whole courses came out, Nour-E came out and told us we had 7 more to go! So definitely come hungry and know you will leave beyond satisfied. My favorites were the Lau Chingri (Shrimp & Bottle Gourd Squash), the Rohu Fish Fried, the Murgir (Chicken) Roast & Palao, Beef Curry (Gorur Gostho) and Khashir (Goat) Biryani. Basically everything we had!! Each dish was balanced in depth, richness, and heat. The meats & fish were so tender, the rices were unbelievably fragrant, and the sauces were aromatic and layered rather than just spicy. The Rohu Fish Fried is imported from Bangladesh and lightly coated in spices and pan-fried until golden brown. This was my first time having this fish and it won't be my last! The Murgir (Chicken) Roast & Palao will live rent free in my head for a long time. It's richly caramelized, light yet aromatic, and deliciously comforting. I can see why this is usually a celebratory dish and is the only dish that Amma will serve at every Dawat Dinner! This dish is so popular that you can now find the recipe on Food & Wine. Speaking of accomplishments, the Lau Chingri (Shrimp & Bottle Gourd Squash) was named one of The New York Times' Best Dishes of 2025. We were also so lucky that Amma made her Mishti Doi for dessert! It's a sweet yogurt that has a custard-like creaminess and was the perfect way to end the meal after all those incredible flavors. We were so grateful to get a special one in a traditional clay pot. Also, there's tons of food but the staff will package any leftovers for you to take with you! They've literally thought of everything to make this an exceptional experience. Nur-E closed our dinner saying "food is life's greatest connector" and I couldn't agree more! Amma is truly an inspiration for opening Korai Kitchen at 61 years old, becoming a James Beard Nominee at 67 and getting 3 Stars from New York Times, and now signing her first cook book deal at 69. This is definitely in my top 10 meals of 2026 and is one of the most memorable meals I've ever had. I can't recommend Korai Kitchen enough.

I went back and…read moreforth about whether to leave an honest review, but ultimately felt that my experience was worth sharing. For context, my friend and I are both brown and were on the younger side compared with the average age of the other patrons that evening. The host/owner was genuinely lovely and welcoming, so unfortunately the service was especially disappointing by comparison. Throughout the dinner, we were repeatedly overlooked by our assigned server. Toward the end of the meal, while other servers were going around asking guests if they wanted a second helping of dessert, we had to flag down a different server because ours never came by. The most frustrating part came at the end. As the restaurant emptied out around us, everyone else was given to-go bags for their leftovers and had their bills brought to them. We received neither. Our server, who had largely ignored us throughout the meal, continued to walk past us without checking in. We ultimately had to wait while the restaurant essentially cleared out around us. We didn't leave until around midnight, after spending roughly half an hour sitting there waiting to be given our bill and leftovers. I really wanted to root for a brown-owned restaurant and hoped this would be a place I could come back to, which made the experience particularly disappointing. I understand that restaurants can have an off night, but being consistently overlooked throughout an expensive dinner--and then essentially forgotten at the end--left a very bad taste in my mouth. Unfortunately, I don't plan to return.
