I'll start by saying that I love everything about this restaurant. From the food, the general…read moreatmosphere, and the impeccable service. The owner and staff couldn't be nicer people. They care about their patrons and do everything in their power to make you feel welcome. The decor is simple and uncluttered. Just the right amount of art and adornments, without feeling suffocated. My waiter, Khalil, is a fine gentleman and very personable. He would be welcome at my table anytime. Now for the food: We had the appetizer combo, which consisted of a spinach dish, hummus and pitas, and samosas. Best hummus I've ever had. Spinach was spicy and delicious. Samosa was excellent. For the main course we ordered a kebab platter for 4 people. Three kabobs of your choice, served with white or green (dill) rice. The kabobs here are the best I've ever had (I've been here many times, but this is my first review). This is one of my favorite restaurants in the five boroughs. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.

They have pretty much everything you can imagine here to eat, from breakfast to dinner, including smoothies. The woman behind the register with the hijab was incredibly sweet and kind, and seems to be a friendly face to so many. She was striking convos with people that seem to be regulars. She made smoothies and even walked over and gave my bf and I the leftovers while we waited. What a kind gesture. It seems like a homey mom & pop ran type business, with an older gentleman on the grill. It was cozy in there and I love it. I would give them my money any day. Exceptional food, exceptional service, and you get to support their small business definitely coming back here when I'm in the area again!

You get two tender thighs and a drumstick, all seasoned and spiced perfectly. The long grain rice is delicious, and the portions are genuinely massive for the price. The side salad and vegetables balance everything out nicely so the meal doesn't feel heavy. They include three sauces on the side, but honestly the chicken is flavorful enough on its own that I haven't really needed them. When I went in person to pick up my order, the place was really clean and well-kept, which I always appreciate. I also noticed they have desserts, so I'll definitely be trying those next time. I'd recommend ordering in person if you can -- you'll skip the extra Uber Eats fees and get the same great food for less. Hidden gem on Northern Blvd.

So this time one of my friend took me there saying they renovated the place. So I decided to give it a try, like always place is very busy. But it did look much better & cleaner. It's an authentic Bangladeshi restaurant, also share the space with a Tibet restaurant on the corner! Food is 100% halal & service is always great. I love their sweets too. We tried traditional Bangladeshi polau, beef bhuna( curry), chicken shikh kabab. Curry was pretty good but too sweet for my test. The beef curry reminded me of wedding food. I definitely wished the curry was spicy tho! While I was eating my food I saw they put coriander leaves on beef tehary, never in my widest dream I thought I would seen something like this! Improvising is one thing but ruining your own traditional food this way is just not except-able ! I was very upset..!

The area is swamped with Bangladeshi, Nepalese, Pakistani and indian food and shops, and if you are out with a family, this may not be the place to go as there is absolutely no seating in there. This is strictly a take out place. The food is delicious, specially the chicken kababs. Their Haleem and Nihari also is probably the best in the area. The first time, I just walked in by accident just to see what this place was. After having a conversation with their main chef, he tempted me to try their Haleem as a taste test and the rest is history. From there on, whenever I am in Jackson heights, I pick up food from here. The cuisine and style is mostly from Karachi, the spice level is a bit on the higher side, but if you really want to exercise your taste buds, this is the place to go. Downside: Parking is tough in that neighborhood as it is so crowded. You may have to circle around to find parking at a bit distant.

The meal was seamless from start to finish, the food, the service, the atmosphere was all great. Food came out quick and our waiter Kais took care of our group effotlessly. I really enjoyed my meal overall, I would say the apps and mains were both delicious but I would give an edge to the mains. The food: Borani Banjan- This was the highlight app for me with some freshly made Afghai Naan. Man this was so good and a must order. The eggplant was cooked perfectly. Bamia- This was like a stewed Okra and I loved this dish, the okra was cooked down but the flavor was so damn good. Mantu- This was a nice delicate dumpling, it was made well but because of the cumin I couldn't help think it reminded me of Tex Mex food. Aushuk- This was OK, it was kinda strange because there was this fermented flavor to it that kinda bothered me. Chicken Afghani Kabab- I am shocked to say this but the chicken was my favorite protein. It was perfection, it was perfectly juicy with a nice smokey outer char, this was amazing. Uzbeki Qabuli Pulao- This was a braised lamb shank and was no teeth required tender. It so incredibly delicate and so delicious. Salmon- Fat slabs of salmon cooked to perfection with a nice outer smokey char. So good. Lamb Kabab- This was fine but not as exciting as the above. The lamb was chewier than I was hoping but the flavor was nice. Beef Kofta- It was like a ground meat patty. It was ok, it was a bit chewy and a bit dry but it was alright. The two I want to try on my next visit is the shrimp and the lamb chops, can't wait for a second visit.

Chicken tikka was ok. Rice was good, salad was a big soggy and pita could have been bigger considering this is meant to be shareable. Best part was the lamb chop. Wish it had one piece more. All in all it's ok.

Jackson Heights has no shortage of great Southeast Asian food, so I was excited to give this spot a try. They have dine-in option and plenty of seating upstairs while the downstairs is just for takeout and was much busier. The Steamed Chicken Momos were satisfying, warm, and well-seasoned. There was a bit too much dough for my liking but I did enjoy the flavors. The Tandoori Mix was a nice assortment of various cuts of chicken & beef. Many of the pieces were on the dry side but again, the flavor was there. The Goat Shinwari Karahi is definitely worth getting. The goat was super tender and aromatic and the karahi is fragrant and made well. It's super greasy which I didn't like, and it wasn't served with anything. If you want rice/naan on the side, you need to add that on yourself. Nonetheless, for ~$20, it's still a great deal. The Chicken Biryani was fluffy, aromatic & fragrant, and filled with a good portion of chicken. This was the base for the other dishes we got and truly paired well with everything. The portion was perfect for 4 people and at ~$14, that's an unbeatable price! I also loved the Sesame Naan which scooped up the karahi sauce so well! The Kashmiri Tea here is so good! The pistachios are well incorporated so you don't feel like you're chewing so much while sipping, and the tea is rich & soothing. It's definitely cheap comfort food and we left feeling fill & satisfied but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. Solid try!

However, recently when my uncle was in town and staying close to LaGuardia, it only made sense to pay an old friend a visit and take a trip down memory lane. Not much has changed here since the decades have passed us by other than perhaps the sighting of more and more non-brown people in the family dining hall as Mayor Mamdani has put this Jackson Heights institution on the map. We weren't really in the mood for a lot of food so our order was pretty simple - a single order of goat karahi, seekh kabab and some naan. Goat karahi came out fresh and hot. I will say it was more on the greasier side, lots of oil to fish through, and the goat couldve been a bit more tender but the flavor was on point. Naan was warm and fluffy, and the kabab were spiced just right although I feel they need to be a little juicier. We washed this down with chai which was really good but more on the milkier side. I can't wait to return and re-familiarize myself with their menu offerings. Maybe I'll give the biryani a try next time, I've heard it's pretty good here!

As for the food, I've tried the lamb, chicken, and squid skewers. The lamb and chicken were both succulent, perfectly cooked, and really well-balanced in flavor. The squid was tasty too, though the seasoning comes through more strongly since squid itself is milder. For the amount of protein you get, the prices are very reasonable, even cheap. A solid spot all around. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
