    It is really difficult to true ethnic food outside few major US cities. The one that are found are Americanized ethnic restaurants serving to generic American palate. It is more evident for restaurants/places representing small countries like Bangladesh. So, when we were visiting St. Louis and found this restaurant in Yelp, we were really on the fence to visit here wondering if it would be worth visiting there,especially this place quite a detour from our route to home. Small and unassuming place in a small strip mall; seating arrangements for a very few people and open kitchen. The interior could use a major makeover; no worries about cleanliness though. Open kitchen and the person cooking is the host's grandmother wearing traditional Bengali attire, Saree. The host, Sajal is extremely nice and accommodating. By the way, the restaurant has limited opening hours during the weekdays, the weekend hours are more generous. The menu is not big; probably less than ten items but we all recognized most of them. The items that we know are well loved dishes in Bangladesh and decide to try a few. We were blown away by finding one of most authentic Bangladeshi foods within 500 miles around St. Louis. The price is surprisingly affordable as well. If you are driving by St. Louis and open try Bangladeshi food, visit this place; you will love it.

    What an absolutely amazing experience. Never tried food from Bangladesh before and I was not disappointed. I had the goat biriyani and the flavors were amazing, perfect balance between spice and flavor. Alongside the amazing food, the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. If you have the opportunity to come here, I would highly recommend it! Definitely will be coming back!

    Chicken biriyani- well seasoned & delicious!

    TLDR summation: FOOD IS INCREDIBLE. OWNERS ARE WONDERFUL. PLEASE GO TRY THIS RESTAURANT. THANK YOU! While looking for something new & local for dinner, we discovered this absolute treasure. Although very unassuming in appearance, Sulaiman's Cafe was a fantastic dining experience. Nothing "fancy" about the location, which hopefully meant all the attention is on & about the food. This would turn out to be a safe & resplendent assumption! We were treated to an homey & cozy 3 table dining area. It's definitely intimate, so hopefully it will be available for your visit. A small table was available out front, should weather & preference permit. You can smell & hear the sounds of your food being prepared by the most welcoming & friendly chef I've experienced in a while. Our requests for food not on the menu were fulfilled graciously & expeditiously. Our food, the requested samosas, beef teheri & lamb over rice, were all stellar. Although I can't speak to the authenticity, having no prior Bangladeshi food experience, the smell & taste were every bit as good as anything Indian I could compare it to. We ate too fast, out of joy & gluttony, so pictures will have to come next time! And my daughter was so disappointed I forgot to order her a mango or any other flavor of lassi, so there's that too! Service was relatively quick & quality was on point. The food was all outstanding, flavorful, indulgent & THE VALUE of the food IS incomparable & almost unbelievable!!! Not even forgetting the friendly home-style environment we were treated to, which was also immeasurably welcoming. We ended up being the only customers left in the small space when we dined & it added to everything about our experience, absolutely. We totally felt as if a new friend was having us over for a first dinner. If you miss the love cooked in the food, I'm not sure you were looking. The chef's wife was jovial, warm and extremely polite & we absolutely enjoyed our conversation & interactions. My daughter & I believe their little one ( who the cafe is named after) might be the cutest baby boy we've yet had the pleasure of meeting. He entertained us immensely & was a joy to behold! WE WILL BE BACK. WE WILL SHARE & SING THE PRAISES!!! THIS GEM IS A DIAMOND! Make sure you order from them too! Lots of take out while we dined. Enjoy the fantastic flavors in your home instead.

    I am not someone to just throw around 5-star reviews however this place gets all 5 stars from me, no questions asked. One of my favorite things about visiting NYC is the Chicken and Rice street food. I am not talking about Halal Guys I am talking about the legit street cart food that you find at places like 145th and Frederick Douglass. I have spent years trying to recreate these delights in my kitchen and I have scoured Saint Louis to find something comparable. Sulaiman's Café delivered on this, and to make this story even better I never expected it. I stumbled upon Sulaiman's Café on accident today. Originally, I was going to go to a different place that closed next door. I love trying new places, so I walked in here and looked at the menu. It is not often I see Chicken / Lamb over rice, so I immediately ordered that. It took about 10 minutes which I thought was fast, I would have waited even longer if needed. The people working were super nice as well which is always a plus. When I got home and opened the container, I might have teared up a bit. I excitedly called my fiancé in and was like "OMG OMG OMG OMG Look at this!!!!!!" While the white sauce was a bit different it was still closer than anything, I was able to make and everything about my lunch was fantastic. I really cannot wait to go back here to try some of the other items on the menu, however I can promise you it is going to be incredibly hard to not order the chicken or lamb over rice. Yes, it is a simple dish, but oh man does it make me happy. Update: For dinner I decided to go back here and try a few more dishes. Yes, I went to the same place twice in a 5/6 hour period. I thought the Beef Teheri was extremely flavorful and had an abundance of spices. The rice reminded me a lot of the rice used in the lamb over rice except the spices seemed a bit more intense and that really made the dish stand out. I thought the Morog Polao was incredibly unique. I am not sure exactly what combination of spices are used but I really thought the flavors were layered very nicely and loved how it had a bit of a sweet aftertaste. I am looking forward to ordering this dish again, because I think I might like it more than the lamb over rice. It should be noted that the chicken in this dish is on a bone so if you are in a situation where eating with your hands will be tough it might be best to skip this dish. If this is your first time trying Sulaiman's Cafe I would would recommend going with the Lamb Over Rice (or chicken if lamb is not your thing) and the Morog Polao.

    Beef teheri and chicken biryani is very delicious. I always want both when I go haha. I will warn you it's a little spicy but worth it. They recently added pizza to the menu. Thought it was odd but it's actually really good! I tried cheese and pepperoni and the cheese and the cheese on both were stretchy and so delicious.

    Large Cheese Pizza

    Pizza for kids and Chicken Tikka Masala for the adults! This restaurant just opened up but they already have their takeout game on point. We ordered a pizza, chicken tikka masala, chicken curry, and daal via yelp. Everything was ready at the estimated time and most importantly, everything was absolutely delicious. We love curries but often don't get them because there aren't good options that our kids will eat so we loved having that on the menu. Everyone was super friendly as well, we'll definitely be back.

    Is this restaurant still open?

    The hours have been sporadic. I normally call before driving there. I love the food but have been disappointed by them being closed a few times.

    Interesting business practice here in this location. I visited other locations in other states but…read morethis location surprised me. I had wanted to order the 30 wings for $30 and I entered the location ready to order and they told me they are only accepting online orders, which was odd since there are cashiers here. I sat down and took me some time to order it online. One issue I see is that was waiting in the lobby area for my food but since I ordered the food online, the packager of the food would not announce the order but put it on the rack for online, so I would constantly ask if that was the order and no one would check. After 30 minutes getting my online order which was sitting on the rack, I wanted to get a soda, no ice from machine and there was a bucket of ice on the counter. The food was nice and fresh but overly seasoned. I went with the lemon pepper and I was like eating salt.

    I got to say this location is just always a mess. They have messed my order up on numerous…read moreoccasions. Tonight they forgot to add my chicken strips to my order. I didn't listen to the wife and check the bag before I got home.. lessoned learned to always triple check the bags they make. Usually they forget the ranch. The place is always a mad house inside with people waiting around for orders because they usually run behind. I always order the frys well down and they still never come well done. The chicken is just wingstop chickenx

    This is some really great chicken!! Usually I get the chicken sandwich or the chicken tenders but I…read morethink from now on, I'm going to get the wings! The batter is nice and the mild is just enough for me! Just a little bit of spice. Big pieces of chicken and I'm forever thankful. There's no inside for customers. You either come up to the window and order, call in, or order online. Then there's a separate window to pick up. The person at the window was very nice! Cannot wait to come back and take it up a notch.

    I ordered the 5 piece chicken tenders with the medium spice level, and they were cooked perfectly…read more The medium heat was just right. It added plenty of flavor without overpowering the chicken, so you could still taste the quality of the meat. It was a great balance. I also ordered the 3 piece tender meal with no spice for my child. Unfortunately, she said it was too spicy for her to eat, so I would recommend they pay closer attention to orders requesting no spice. The signature Chuck's sauce that came with the meal tasted like a combination of barbecue sauce and honey mustard. It was actually pretty good and surprised me. I was a little disappointed that they don't offer regular honey mustard or barbecue sauce as separate dipping sauce options. I also ordered honey as a dipping sauce for both meals, but I only received one small packet of honey for all eight chicken tenders. One packet simply isn't enough for that much chicken. This location is next to Cecil Whittaker's, and both restaurants share the same front counter employee, although each has its own pickup window. There is no indoor seating, so this location is pickup and delivery only. Overall, I really enjoyed the chicken and would definitely order it again. Next time, though, I'll double-check that I receive enough honey and that a "no spice" order truly comes with no spice.
