    Best bengali / Bangladeshi food in the town. Must get kaccahi biryani and fish curry. ilish mach pilaf is delicious

    Ilish pulao
    Zara K.

    Oh! So Bangali. The mixed reviews say it all. While in Bangladesh, grocery stores are modernizing with prices that make $ prices look affordable; some places in Jackson Heights are a time capsule of the past. Haat Bazaar is one example. We went for Friday lunch, right after Jummah so the place was sparsely occupied and seemed to be starting for the day. Which also meant service was almost non-existent. I had to go up to the counter to ask for the meal, in spite of being seated. But after the wait on food, the food tasted authentic and so tasty, hence the 4 star rating. Ilish pulao and kalo bhuna are a rare treat. One, I don't know how to cook either to taste this good, two apparently those are not always available so we jumped at the chance. Ilish is a difficult fish to consume, small bones aplenty. It is also perhaps every Bengali's favorite fish. The flavor was rich in mustard oil, again a staple of bengali cuisine. The flavors were on point and we loved it. We paired it with kalo bhuna, a delicacy of Chittagong. You know how burning spices is a cooking faux pax, burnt spices are legitimately the foundation of this delicious dish. It's black from over-cooking. The test of a good kalo bhuna is whether the small pieces of beef can survive hardening through the over-cooking. And, this meat was deliciously black and ironically tender. So we didn't have an issue with cleanliness and ate with our hands, so overall our experience apart from the service was pretty good. But obviously, our expectation was really low. We went in knowing it would be sub-par standards of average dining experience. Fyi- Ilish maach is so expensive and availability is on the low in BD, and here the store had massive ones being sold in a cooler box on the floor.

    Hilsa fish curry
    Sho R.

    This is a reasonably priced Bangali food place. I went there to try Hilsa fish. It is very popular. I got only fish curry, and not fry. Curry had a good amount of fishy smell, and the fish had a ton of bones. But still the taste was good. Chicken biryani was good as well. The boiled egg in the chicken biryani, was fried after boiling. Beef fry was my favorite here. Beef was deep fried till it is charred.

    With gratitude to those who make the feast possible.

    When a place makes you go out of your structure of writing reviews since the usual "ambience/ service/ value" categories just wouldn't make sense, you have to pause and realize how rare the authenticity that you encounter in Haat Bazaar is. The food is so unapologetically real and unaffected by the country it is operating in as to transport you somewhere else in the space-time continuum. Somewhere very good. Somewhere delicious. Where everyone is using their fingers to lap up the bhaat (rice) with the assortment of maach jhol (fish curries) that exist in that time capsule. Where the aroma that infuses the mutton biryani wafts above the harsh existence that make the effort that goes into the dishes stand out even more. Be prepared to use your hands the way nature intended them to. Be prepared for a feast for the senses. Be ready to translocate.

    Beef tahari and I can't remember the name of the other one but 10/10

    The food at the restaurant is absolutely delicious, extremely consistent, and the staff makes me feel welcome every single time. I don't know what else someone could ask for. Every rice dish we ordered was 10/10 The samosas are huge and yummy. Be sure to get chai when you're finishing up Also my partner and I have never had Bangladeshi food before so we went in with no expectations. Super grateful we found this place and that we can continue to support small local businesses

    Best Authentic Bengali food. I couldn't keep my mouth from watering at all the selections they offered. My husband and I wanted to try a bit of everything as we had heard so much about it from our friends and make sure we got a full experience. We decided on daal bhorta, tomato bhorta, and aloo bhorta - they were all delicious. I preferred the tomato and aloo and my husband preferred the daal and tomato. Taste buds! We settled on the goru mongsho tehari which had an amazing fragrance to it and the spice level was perfect. We also had a chicken chop each, very delicious. Then we also decided to have chicken curry and keski mach. Both were superb. The spice level was on point for every piece. The waitstaff was nice, they're busy and down to business. Then we finished off the meal with a proper cha. It had excellent liquor, good taste, and perfectly sugared. We've gone back several times, each time we're in NY, and are never disappointed. Just so people know, if you're not familiar with Bengali or South Asian style eateries, this isn't your IHOP, Friendly's, or American style restaurant like that. It's a clean place! Don't be discouraged that it's joined with a market! The food is AMAZING! Also, it's best to pay cash if you can, they do take cards but, cash is best.

    Goat Haleem

    The BEST HALEEM in literally all of NYC. It's food meant to warm up your desi soul. I would recommend getting the bigger size (large for $15) bc it's more than twice the size of the small ($7)

Get the mixed meat one and you will not be disappointed. The melty, gooey cheese runs throughout the large hefty chunks of meat sandwiched within this rich, delicious bread that keeps it all together. I ate the whole thing myself in a day. Don't forget to throw on the hot and white sauce on it too!

    I was missing nyc halal food after moving to NC…read more I searched where I can get the best halal truck food in queens. Though this was t truck food it was a great choice. I've had a lot of halal in Queens and this is hands down my new favorite spot! Not only are the workers friendly but the clientele they attract are also nice and welcoming and chatty and really live this spot as well. I ordered the chicken platter as is with extra white sauce and a side of white sauce. Yes, that sauce is amazing!! You can eat there but i took my order to go. It did not disappoint! Flavor of rice chicken and fries were awesome! Fries held up even after taking it home and being covered in takeout container. My only gripe is the chicken to rice ratio. Wayyy more rice than chicken. I would love them to be more equal so I don't have so much rice to throw out/save after. The platter was a meal enough for two! And for a great price. Definitely coming back!

I love how reliable this spot is when I need some late night halal food. They listed their business hours from 9 am to 4 am or 5 am on weekends - these are some very long business hours! My go to orders is the combo platter with chicken and lamb over rice, fries, and salad with all the sauces and their lunch special buy one get one gyro (applicable to chicken, lamb, combo, or falafel only)! The chicken and lamb meats are well seasoned and not dry at all. The platters are huge which justifies the higher price point and food is much more fresh and delicious compared to most carts in Queens. Recently, I tried the fried fish rice platter and it was delicious - fish was nicely fried and crispy, and doesn't seem greasy. I would order this again when I need a break from my combo. The platter is usually big enough for my hubs and I to share! Otherwise, it's two meals for me!
