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 to Dawat earlier this summer and paid about $120 per person including tip. 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.

(Note - Despite being listed in the delivery apps as "Authentic Curry & Tandoori Place," there was a 2nd sign over the front also calling it Dhaka Karachi Curry & Kabab, which may be confusing.) Immediately across from Kalustyan's, the world-class gourmet food store in "Curry Hill" I was shopping in, decided to check it out. Glad I did! It's better to ask the people behind the counter to let you know those items they have ready - what appeared to be one to two options of different animal protein entrees or some vegetarian options. Interested in the lamb option, (the only lamb that time,) they couldn't describe how it was prepared, but that being said it was flavorful and delicious! You have the options of a full (my choice) or half portion, with rice or naan with your entree. A small salad and dal came with my meal. My large naan was memorably fantastic, hot and totally fresh, absolutely perfect to accompany the meal! There's seating and water at the table. Everyone, staff and customers, were extremely friendly - me, the only one speaking in English. Would recommend trying out Authentic Curry and Tandoori Place.
