Hospitality is very much felt here. Inside has a few tables that seat 2 each. Not very large inside. There are some restrooms for customers.

We always go for the chicken roast, kebabs, chicken samosas, biryanis, chicken lollipops and bhartas (veg mashed). Their chai is one of the best, perfectly paired with either a vegetable or chicken samosa or roll. They're a family run business. The dishes and menu boards, are clearly displayed. Yes I'm biased, as we've been their loyal customers since their early days, but legitimately they are one of the best in all of NYC for authentic Bangladeshi food.

You will not only eat delicious food, but learn so much about Bangladeshi culture and cuisine. This is truly a labor of love and I cannot recommend highly enough!

The ambiance is largely due to daughter Nure whose incredible passion and enthusiasm throughout the night in describing Bengali culture, history and food was incredible! Mom and daughter combine to create an unforgettable dining experience that for me is unmatched and never to be forgotten. They are such gracious hosts and make everyone feel like family. As delicious as the food is, be prepared to take a lot home. You enter Korai Kitchen hungry, curious and with great anticipation. You leave full, satisfied and part of the family! Sorry for the lack of pics. I just went in as soon as the dishes started arriving, eager to savor the meal rather than to record it. My advice: Just go! Its a culinary adventure!

I'm from Silicon Valley and we're swimming in Indian restaurants from every region. We initially came in for a quick bite before dinner plans in the area. I got a chicken lollipop and samosa and was surprised by how much flavor it had. My expectations were low since they said they didn't have any chutney to come with the samosa and offered ketchup instead. However it definitely didn't need it and had so much flavor and moisture on its own. As we were munching on our two small items, we were consumed by the smell of the other dishes they had. We left to dinner at the other restaurant and were completely stuffed, but I HAD to swing back to this restaurant to get some of their curries togo. I got one of the fish curries which had some pickled vegetables and one of the goat curries. I've never had this much depth in a fish or goat curry before and it beat out any I've had before. I was literally sucking as much of the gravy as I could from the bones when I got back because I knew I wouldn't be able to have this level of depth and flavor in a curry when I get back to California. The service was so friendly. They were smiling and chatting with us while we ordered and were attentive in the beginning even though we got two small items for like 5 bucks. I'm definitely making my way back to Astoria to have this again.

The vibe feels a bit more upscale and the menu has expanded, but the food and service are still wonderful. They now have a bunch of cocktails and mocktails. I opted for the classic lemonade with ginger and mint. It was lovely, refreshing and balanced. We started off with the Papdi Chaat which was an excellent version. It hits all the notes, crispy, creamy, tangy, spicy...so good. The Karahi Keema Paratha is Paratha bread stuffed with ground lamb and spices and it was excellent. So savory and flavorful. Butter Chicken is a wonderful version. Creamy with a hint of spice and tender, juicy chicken. Dal Tadka are yellow lentils with spices and packed with flavor. Just delicious. Paratha Wala was the perfect spot for some delicious comforting food on a cold night.

There was a huge variety of items, over 30 of them. They had the special like haleem, jilapi, fried items like beguni, peyaju, and kababs like jali and shikh. The sitting area was used for putting the items on display. The restaurant itself is showing signs of age. It doesn't look very clean. I bought two full platters of items, and three biryani trays. The staff was really patient with me, as I was shopping over 20 minutes. Got a small discount for paying by cash. Among the food I tried, the goat and chicken biryani were excellent. Loved the keema kabab and aloo chop. Fried items were not good at all. Chotpoti and haleem were also not up to the standard. But jilapi and misti doi were very tasty. We were sort of disappointed with such mix quality of the food.

I grt the 3 vegs + rice. Ask for the spicy green sauce too if you are brave. Great ambiance with a lot of locals and families stopping by. Open pretty late too, it's the kind of spot you can tell is aunthetic because the community supports it a lot which I love. Really into the Parathas and Samosas as well. The service is always pleasant and top notch. Very much a home style energy and for me it always feels really inviting. Not gonna lie the ceiling design is also probably the best I've seen in the city lol, very unexpected. Lot of treats and sweet if you're into it Will definitely keep coming back here, congrats to the family running it!

I'm back in NYC and was craving bihari kabab so ordered that from here. Once it arrived, it didn't look too appetizing. The color was off, it had no "burn marks" on it but the taste was ok, like a 6/10. Nothing to write home about. A few days later, a relative ordered the same thing from Boishakhi Restaurant and it completely blew away Ghoroa's version. It was better in every way - looks, texture and most importantly, taste. So based on that, I'm rating Ghoroa as average. 3/5.
