    Noodles
    ZOHAIB M.

    Good Indian eats here. We had their noodles which were cooked perfectly with a soft texture. Palak paneer which was delicious and not too salty. Mithai was sweet and colorful. Service was decent. Interior is plain and simple.

    Falooda Drink

    Finally had a chance to swing by Hicksville! Fresh mithai and nice classic chai. Loved our falooda! It is made to order and took some time.

    Grabbed an assortment of sweets and all were typical and well flavored. Definitely made fresh and soft! Would recommend grabbing a sweet treat if in the area!

    This is my go-to place for veg food and for when I'm visiting relatives to come and grab a box of sweets to take for them. :) Every time I crave veg food, this is where I get my fix. My favorites are: Chana Batura, Pav Bhaji, Samosa and Dahi Bhalla Chaat! As for sweets, my favorite is the pink one (not sure what it's called, I just point at it lol) and all the other ras-bhare ones, i.e. the ones soaked in sugar syrup. They're almost always packed but that doesn't affect their service. Love coming here.

    Ample amount of seating

    I came to this spot because it was highly recommended by various friends of mine for "Sweets" so I went and tried the Sweets and guess what ??? It was Actually GOOD :) However I made the mistake of ordering other hot items and Paan lol which If I had not done so I would have given an Easy 4 to 4.5 Rating but the Paan was OLD and no good. The Samosa was Undercooked - not a good experience. I would go again and give them another try until than I will stand with my 3 Star Rating.

    The stellar samosas - triangular savory pastries filled with love plus potatoes and peas!!

    Bengali Sweet Shop is serving authentic and delicious Indian food and sweets smack in the middle of Nassau County in the good old 11801. The staff is solid and on top of everything. The prices for this caliber of food and service are great. The atmosphere is chill. There is ample seating per Covid distancing. The restaurant is immaculate. They really pay attention to detail when packing and ask for eg how a big order or pieces should be split item wise. Beautiful!! Hicksville( 11801) and the adjoining Plainview, Jericho, Syosset and the Brookvilles have seen a large influx of folks of Indian descent in the last two decades. It is just fantastic that there are a few restaurants and establishments that cater to these folks with love, care and the " real deal" - as in tasty and abundant food that takes one back to grandma's amazing fare. The name is Bengali but their menu is extensive and spans all delicacies from North, West and East India. The sweets and desserts are prepared fresh and I love that they have a sign that states to consume within 24 hours - fresh and lovely!! I had my mother's birthday get together in August catered by Bengali Sweet Shop and the 28 guests loved everything - the fantastic chick pea dish and soft, fluffy fried bread accompanying it( Chole Bhature), the lovely fried pastries filled with the potatoes, onions and peas( Samosas), the Papdi Chaat - street food with flat crackers, onions, potatoes, chick peas, yogurt and sauces( chutneys), steamed cake made from gram flour( Dhokla). No left overs, no doggy bags - everyone had thirds and more! They have amazing, really amazing stuffed paranthas ( wheat flour tortillas with some very creative stuffings). The displays of sweets and snacks are so inviting. Just picked up lunch for Mom and made her day!!!!!!

    Momos

    I regret not stopping by here before! I drove passed so many times but never got the chance but today I finally made up my mind to check our Bengali Sweets and I was truly impressed by the quality of their food. Customer service was great as well, the two ladies at the counter are very friendly. The ambiance is just like back home! Your typical chaat house with huge selections of Mithaa (sweets). So I started off by ordering their paneer and vegetable Momos. Both packed some great flavors. The paneer momo is probably my favorite one because I love paneer, so them being put inside this deep fried goodness is exactly what I needed! The good thing is, they aren't too expensive nor greasy. This restaurant definitely is budget friendly and hygienic. The vegetable Momos were delightful. A mixture of all of your greens inside of a fried dumpling hahaha! Especially when they both paired very well with the sweet chilli sauce it came with! Now for the main course I ordered the Halwa Puri platter or should I say THALI! I love that word, it comes with 2 Puris and a generous amount of chana masala, halwa and achar. The puris were made from wheat which was a healthy option andddd the puri themselves were not oily. The Chana masala itself packed so much flavor, I thought that it had the same taste as Sambr, the potato soup that comes with a Dosa. Mouth watering and delicious. I did not try out the halwa because I'm not a fan ahahaha! But my family did. Everything was amazing, definitely will be back. 10/10 must try again and again!

    Always a great paratha and chaat served with. Good place for giant "Parathas" - Aloo with onions, coriander, ginger, and green chilli is my favorite. Bengali has been the center of Indian snacks and foods for 20+ years. They have an amazing variety of delicious Indian foods. It's mouthwatering delicious. Geeta and Rajesh are amazing hosts and have put Hicksville Indian foods on the map.

    Fabulous food and service. Can't wait to be back for the chola Bhutara which is perfect-the sweets are to die for!!

    5++++ stars! I absolutely love this place. I've passed it a few times and kept saying that that I should stop in so today was the day! Honestly, I had no idea what to order but I recognized the samosas and the bhel poori right away so asked for those and spoke to the kindest gentleman who steered me in the right direction for the lunch special (thali) which was all absolutely delicious. We also ordered pani poori and aloo tikki, both amazing. You order at the counter and sit and they bring it to you on trays, nothing fancy but honestly, I'd pick this place over fancy any day. When we were finished eating we ordered some sweets and again, I didn't know what to order and the gentleman picked out some good ones for us to bring home. They were hauntingly delicious! I really don't have a point of reference for these pastries but I can't imagine anything better. As I was being rung up by the sweetest woman who asked if my children liked the food (yes, they loved it) I decided that I would definitely be back, and many times! The woman showed me the menu and pointed out some things to try next time so between the delicious food, and the welcoming hospitality, this place absolutely melted my heart and made me happy! My advice to anyone who is reading this review is to stop in and don't be intimidated by the unfamiliar. Just smile snd eat...

    Order at counter type. I think they have a buffet for lunch though. I've only been there for dinner and have never noticed buffet then.

Given the culinary brilliance here, if you order one of your favorites, it'll be done well, but you're better off trying something unique that might not be on the menu at your local Chinese, Indian or Thai spot. Chili tofu and basil ginger fish were two great showcases for the complex spices available here. (I'm a real American hero, I ate fourths since my parents preferred leftovers that didn't have the top spice levels). And if you're spice-adverse yet chili-curious, the honey chili potato is worth a shot. These are essentially fries. Our server, Ten, was amazing. He adeptly handled the multiple time frames of our orders and is ready to provide suggestions for those who didn't spend 40 minutes researching on Yelp. Part 2.

We had to park across the street and walk over to the restaurant. Having a dedicated parking area or establishing a better parking arrangement with the landlord would make the experience much more convenient for customers and could potentially encourage more people to visit. Unfortunately, the food was the biggest disappointment. The chicken in several of our dishes was noticeably overcooked, dry, and tough. The Butter Chicken, in particular, had very dry and overcooked chicken. The Drums of Heaven, which I remember being fresh, flavorful, and nicely glazed, were this time overly fried, dry, and lacking flavor. The cauliflower used to be crispy and well glazed, but on this visit it was mushy and unappetizing. We asked our server if they had a new chef, he said same chief for 15 years and the new owners are back. Well have new owners tasted the food? There's no way the Chef was back. Perhaps that was a lie. Overall, the food did not taste as fresh or well-prepared as I remembered. It also felt as though the restaurant has made several changes that have taken away from the overall dining experience. They previously offered a complimentary appetizer, whereas now everything is à la carte. Even the napkins felt unnecessarily limited--we were initially given only one and had to ask for additional napkins. The restaurant also used to have tablecloths with glass over the table, which gave the dining area a more polished, welcoming, and comfortable appearance. The bathroom was acceptable, but it could have been cleaner and better maintained. I'm sharing this feedback because I have visited this restaurant before and remember having a much better experience. The food, presentation, and overall atmosphere used to feel more inviting and higher quality. Unfortunately, this visit left me feeling that the overall quality has declined and that cost-cutting measures may be affecting the customer experience. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback constructively, because I would genuinely like to see the quality return to what it used to be. As things currently stand, however, I would reconsider returning.

We started with the popular and will venture out to the more creative. Sardines and octopus looked good but can wait until another day.
