I got the tandoori chicken and was astonished to see EIGHT pieces in the box - gloriously spiced and covered with onions and peppers. The paneer tikka was also a huge spicy portion. The owner even offered me a free dessert. Definitely coming back inshaAllah!

My husband is Bangladeshi and has been on the hunt for some real Bengali food in Buffalo…read more Interestingly there are tons of restaurants that label themselves as Indian and Bengali but until now, we haven't found a reliable spot for Bengali food. We picked up goat biryani and chicken lollipops from here and they were both so good at an amazing price point! The flavors definitely erred on the Bengali side vs Indian, as is common in Buffalo. We will definitely be back to try other items. Would love to see some more traditional items on the menu!

AMAZING food and service. The atmosphere was lackluster. Very dated in the seating area but I…read moreunderstand most of their business is to-go. They had a very large doorbell that went off anytime someone opened the front door. So with people going in and out for their to-go order , it was extremely irritating and I couldn't wait to leave... BUT! The waiter was so friendly and offered to explain any dish we needed to know more about and gave us a warning anytime we chose something really spicy. Great selection on the menu between curries, noodles, soups and rice dishes. I ended up with the Shrimp Dopiaza which ranks in one of my top favorite 5 dishes I have ever had. The flavor was amazing and SPICY, served with long grain rice, curry and lots of huge shrimp! My husband got the Special Beef khichiri which was delicious, lots of bones in there though so be prepared if you aren't expecting it. We also ordered 2 garlic naan because we were expecting a small idk, 6 in diameter disc? NO. You get 4 huge pieces per naan, practically the size of a full pizza. We should have split one but if you like garlic, this has about 2 cloves per slice. Its delicious! For dessert we ordered Gulan Jamun and Rasgulla. Oh my, it's like spongy donuts in sugar syrup. So good! Will definitely get takeout again! P s. You have you pay $1 for a bottle water if sitting down.

While I was unable to get the dine in experience/take out... here's a quick hot take. Staff.. extremely welcoming and friendly. I was greeted when I walked in and my first impression was the place is very clean. Dated. But very clean. Food. A little disappointed in the Mongolian chicken. The photo shows all kind of peppers and vegetables, my dish was just chicken. Flavor was great though, not as spicy as I have hoped but good. Chicken w/ broccoli, great of amount flavor, spot on dish! Spring rolls... absolutely amazing! Huge flavor! Garlicky naan. Not pictured but again fantastic. I'll be back, for sure.

We began with a samosa appetizer, which is a pastry filled with a spiced blend of potato and peas. It was an excellent starter. I also ordered chai tea, which comes with milk and a little bit of spice. We also had chicken biryani, which is a chicken and rice dish for which we requested a medium level of spice, which was plenty for me. The chicken tikka masala was the spiciest dish we had which was at a hot wing level. The mixed meat platter was also a hit. For desert we enjoyed the gulab jamon, which is a fried cottage cheese ball in a sweet sauce. The servers were friendly and helpful. This was a fine introduction to south Asian cuisine.

We started with the lentil soup, boiling hot and full of lemon juice and black pepper. Mango lassis for both of us, and when we asked for tap water, we were given an entire pitcher of ice water for the table, with two cups. My husband ordered lamb handi, cubes of tender meat in a thick gravy with tomatoes, onions and green peppers. He had ordered it "Medium spicy", but I think the kitchen was grading on a curve: It was less punchy than the soup. Still, I wouldn't order "Hot" as I once did here: The chef takes pride in his liberal use of peppers at this level. (The menu warns you: "This is a dish for stronger constitutions"). My lamb shashlik was char grilled on a skewer (thoughtfully removed prior to serving) with slices of tomato, onions and green peppers, plated on a sizzling iron plate. The chunks of lamb had been marinated: They were so tender! The garlic naan? Fresh from a tandoor oven, with a little char, lots of butter and garlic, and a little parsley. It was so fresh and good! After the meal our waiter asked us if we would like tea, but I couldn't have eaten anything more (though I strongly recommend their creamy rice pudding!)

Not complimentary like most restaurants. No ice or glasses. Despite these quirks, I would absolutely return to try other items. Worth a stop!

I say seen because we couldn't dare to taste it as it was smelling so bad with bubbles popping out. Looked like they just reheated 4 days old chicken. The mere thought of it makes me throw up.

Desi has better curries and rice and Alibaba has better kebabs and naan. Both are great and in my opinion are the two best curry spots in Buffalo (way better than India Gate or Taj if you are okay with Pakistani style curries (generally have more oil than Indian curries). I highly recommend the chicken biryani and the chicken achari curry. The achari is my favorite curry in Buffalo. Portions are massive and the small curry is more than enough for one person. Note: if you order using Doordash they don't have bread listed on the app. Just order a mango lassi and put that you want naan in the instructions. They'll call you if there are any issues. They are very friendly and communicative. Bonus, the food always arrives quickly and piping hot.
