Where have this restaurant been all my life. Well pretty much under my nose because I've been…read moreliving in this neighborhood for about 15 years and I didn't discover them until recently. Was starving late one night when I was coming home from work and decided to give them a try and my gosh, is this place GOOD! Came in for their chicken samosa ($1) and not only did it hit the spot but it also was very satisfying. The flavor was just right and it seems like they made everything from scratch including fresh herbs to bring out the right taste. I came back the next day for a proper meal and brought two more chicken samosa, pakora (2 for $1) and their chicken ross (I think that's how you spell it for $3 including an egg) and it was delicious. As for dining in, they only have two tables and eight seats total and they opened early (6am) and close late (11pm). I'm so glad I walked in and my only regret is wishing I would have step food in 15 years ago.

Radhuni is a neighborhood staple serving Bangladeshi food to the diaspora for over a decade now. In…read moremy household, they are highly frequented due to "homecooked" nature of their dishes. They have staple every day dishes, and also offer rotating ones that add to their variety. We like the homecooked feel of their food. On busy days where we can't make time to cook, they come in clutch. Some special food recommendations: Lollipop chicken- a fried drumstick or wing, made to resemble a lollipop. It's coated in seasonings, and served with their version of boom boom sauce. Crowd favorite. Chicken biryani- flavored rice with chicken. Can eat this by itself. Beef teheri- flavored rice with beef. Chicken Roast- not roast chicken lol. In our cuisine, this is a smothered chicken in a creamy, oniony based sauce with spices. Not to be missed. Reshmi kebab- Chicken pieces, marinated in spices and smoked to perfection. Try this! it's a different take from the tandoori style you're always getting ;) I'd recommend fish curries with rice, as that's our specialty. However, they are bone in, and so it may not be everyone's cup of tea. Get the shrimp curry if it's available. The other items, such as beef curries, mixed vegetables, daal (lentils) are pretty standard. For a quick but delicious snack, get a vegetable or chicken samosa with chai. Can't be beat! They have other appetizer foods too- chicken rolls, and pakoras. Spice level tends to be medium. I've not found them to be very spicy hot, which works out for those of us who can't handle that. We always get take out from them. They package the food well (enough) so the oil does not leak. There is always a lot of oil on the top of the foods, but this is the case at every bengali/indian/pakistani restaurant anyways. We just dump it out when we get home. There are tables and indoor seating. However, we opt to bring it home. I do wish the ambiance was nicer to sit and eat, but it's not a big deal. During Ramadan and other holidays, they have specialty items which is another time to try them out.

If you're looking for a great spot for date night, Monkey King is definitely worth checking out…read more The ambience was great--the space feels stylish, relaxed, and perfect for a night out. Even the bathroom was impressively nice, which always says a lot about a restaurant's attention to detail. The food and drinks were on point. The crab fried rice, fried shrimp toast, rib lamb were all flavorful and well-prepared. One standout for me was the spring rolls--they were so good, crispy and packed with flavor. The drinks were also great, making the overall dining experience even better. Between the great food, nice atmosphere, and convenient location, it's definitely a place I'd go back to again. Alexa greeted us and took our order she's amazing! If you're planning a date night or a nice dinner out, Monkey King is a solid choice.

First, the owners are some of the kindest, most thoughtful hosts you could hope to meet. You can feel how much they care about their community the moment you walk in. They've also made real efforts to make the space accessible for different bodies, which is something that far too few restaurants consider. That level of intention and hospitality truly stands out. And then there's the food -- absolutely phenomenal. Every dish feels intentional, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Standouts for me: Shrimp Toast - the best I've ever had. Perfectly crisp, rich, and balanced. Duck - deeply flavorful and cooked to perfection. Ribs - tender, savory, and incredibly satisfying. Char Siu - sweet, smoky, and melt-in-your-mouth good. Eggplant - unbelievably delicious and a must-order. Monkey King is the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit. Amazing food, genuine hospitality, and a space that feels welcoming and thoughtful. Highly recommend supporting this gem.

I really liked the Papdi Chaat appetizer we got--very strong flavor and crispy. The Karachi Keema Paratha (bread stuffed with spiced ground lamb) was also very flavorful and spicier than I expected. We also tried both the Rose Lassi and Mango Lassi. I think I still prefer the classic Mango Lassi but I'm glad I tried the Rose Lassi too. It was just a little too floral for me to drink regularly. The restaurant is dimly lit and perfect for a date night. Great spot for some decent Indian food, especially since there's not many in the area.
