Seating there me personally was getting irritating towards the customers actions but the stuff were still very nice & calm. I so appreciate that, what an excellent service I didn't use the restroom because while I was washing my hands before eating I can actually smell the bathroom from outside . Made me almost puke, that's why I took 1 star away ! Hopefully this will be fixed sooner & next time I come back I can add back that star . Because they do deserve all the stars !

I ordered the chicken Biryani, butter chicken, some naan, an Okra dish 4 wifey and finally some veggie loaded samosa's with huge pieces of potato and it was very greasy - cause the brown bag it was in the as soaked all over with oil! As I was walking back to the car, I at two samosas. I was particularly hungry and they tasted good. When. I arrived home I had shared the Biryani, one piece of buttered chicken & the naan with the life partner. Even while I was eating this food, I was thinking, something is not exactly right about the way this food is going down. It didn't taste fresh. The meat in particular. I found out why. Later that night I woke up at 5 am with very loose stool and I'm fouling up the bthroom! It's Not worth it. I wouldn't order again from here. I'd recommend TANDOOR PLACE just ONE half block near to this place on - 2146 STARLING AVE, if I were to get hungry for soma good Bengali dishes. TANDOORI PLACE IS a bit more expensive but the quality of the food was better and I had no gastrointestinal complaints later on. And one more thing. If you look at the picture I took this place has an A rating. Which rates restaurants based on how well they follow food safety regulations. This rating confounds me. It should be more like C rated. Happy hunting Yelpers!!

I placed an online catering order and followed up with an email, but never received a response. Following initial contact with the restaurant via landline, I was assured that they had indeed verified and received the order. Furthermore, they confirmed both the date and the scheduled pick-up time. However, when I arrived on the pick up date, the staff didn't know anything about the order. They scrambled to make it last minute, and the food was terrible. I regret to inform that the rice was rather bland, dry, and overcooked. Furthermore, the kebabs seemed dry and stale, as if they had been reheated. I have to mention that the number of kebabs I received was less than what I had ordered, by three. It was quite disappointing to serve this to my guests. The owner/ management team seems more focused on money than customer satisfaction. Their customer service is horrible, and there's no accountability. I noticed that while the owner or management team may respond to reviews, there appears to be a lack of improvement in the customer experience or resolution of reported issues.They didn't offer any solutions or compensation, and the staff member was only polite to me because they knew it was their fault. They also wouldn't let me speak to the owner or management team. So, for anyone placing a catering order, be very careful and stay on top of them, constantly reminding them, because they don't take customers seriously.

It was perfectly cooked Bangladeshi comfort food that included bhaat (white rice), daal (lentil soup), a mixed vegetable curry, a bhorta (spiced mashed potatoes basically), and salad!!

Weekends are usually busy. They have so many items on their menu. The menu seems to change very week. Some of my favorites are beef tehari, Polau Roast, tandoori chicken, and chicken roll.

Nonetheless, we walked in and there are tables and chairs and the hot foods are displayed behind glass. We got a goat curry large for $16 with a large plate of white rice which was $1. The goat curry was pretty good and hit the spice profile with it not too spicy. The curry had a good portion of meat and not all bones which was great. We really enjoyed this dish. We also got a small okra for $4 and that too was really tasty and not runny. My son got the chicken briyani for $10 and while it looked so good behind the glass, the taste was just average as the texture is a bit off. The staff asked if we wanted heated up our foods as he said it was just room temperature. Surprised it wouldn't be kept hot in the first place but anyway we said yes and he microwaved for a few which I'm glad we made that choice. Also got a mango lassi drink and we got some Indian sweet treats which he gave to us on the house so that was nice. All in all, it exceeded our initial expectation and would give this place high 3 stars.

The fuchka was the main event; I liked the original a bit more than the yogurt variety (doi fuchka); the latter was sweet and a little more creamy, while the original had a nice spice and crisp that stood out.

I discovered that a Bangladesh street food called fushka is very popular, so decided to try for my first time. Tong is highly rated and their menu is simple. I ordered the Doi Fuchka ($7), which comes as crispy, hollow puri shells stuffed with a savory mashed potato and chickpea mixture. The difference in the doi is that it is topped with a yogurt to balance the spice for a creamier texture. I liked this a lot, especially with the tamarind sauce too (though this got a bit messy). This is nothing like I've ever tasted with so many different textures going on. It hits you with spicy, sweet, savory, crunchy, creamy, chewy and everything all at once. It comes with 8 pieces, which is perfect to share with 2-3 people. Definitely something to check out!

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.
