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.

The channa masala was the star of the show, and so were the meats. Enjoy the food here, and then brag about how you can handle any kind of spice afterwards. We'll be back.

It was an ok experience for me and I'll dive into the details: Place - can't miss the corner spot that is colored red. Once inside you'll see that there is plenty of seats and tables for you to dine in. Plenty of parking around the area as well. I didn't think it was dirty but it does feel eh...probably because the interior is old. Service - the only lady I saw working was working hard. She took my order and told me what they had for the day but listen carefully because you'll be hearing thick accents. Very helpful! Food - ended up getting the lamb biryani rice with some chicken tikka masala. It was good! Not the best but did the job. I believe because I got the lamb ($9) and that I added a bit of the tikka, it ended up to be ($10). I think the chicken biryani is ($8) which is fairly priced. I also picked up a vegetable samosa for ($1). They also have plenty of options for vegetarians, as most places like this do. If you're in the area and want a fix, try it out but I wouldn't trek here if you're from afar.

Taking over for another desi-owned spot (#1) several years ago, they've done a much better job of capturing an audience by focusing on a niche of Goan inspired foods, along with a slew of classic Indian dishes that span from north to south. The interior is modest and quaint, and a one bright / memorable outdoor setup during the pandemic. The restaurant is not big, but they've managed to cram in a good number of tables to make it place for 30 folks. Takeout and delivery are also very popular, and I've been fortunate to have had all of the above. Some immediate standouts: goan fish curry, xacuti curry, and the caldeen curry are quite excellent and all come from the Indo-Portuguese side of the menu, which are all loaded with flavor. Additionally, the tandoori selection (especially the chicken malai, seekh kebab, and methi salmon) and variety of curries (rogan josh, korma, jalfrezi, makhani, etc.) are also very flavorful. As with many other Indian places, especially ones that cater to the southern palate, there is an excellent vegetarian selection. The saag chana is one of my go-tos, but the peeli dal, bhindi masala, gobi manchurian over their lemon or tomato rice all merit a big thumbs up. Ownership has likely changed since their initial start, which explains why the staff and "family owned" management has all gotten different looks before and after the pandemic. The other major issue has been pricing, which definitely feels premium at $21-23, for portions that sometimes feels like the size of a hockey puck. The product is still good and the pickins in Sunnyside (#2) are slim, so I realize that for some people, this is the only (Indian) game in town. ___________ (#1) Biriyani House: https://www.yelp.com/biz/biriyani-house-sunnyside (#2) Unless of course, we're counting all the Nepalese spots that also serve Indian cuisine.

Just two stops on the F-Train from 62nd/Lexington to 21st Queensbridge station is a HIDDEN GEM of East-Asian cuisine! A new Bangladeshi restaurant, DHAKAYA, opened in July in Queens near the corner of 21st and 40th Avenue. It's a charming, family-owned place where the owners genuinely care about the quality of their ingredients. Luckily, I work nearby, so I get to eat here on a regular basis. The food is fresh, aromatic, and downright tantalizing. They offer daily specials as well as an a-la-carte menu. I highly recommend trying the daily specials that are made fresh and hot each day and presented in their inviting display case. Their culinary talent truly shines in the bold, spicy blends they create. Here are a few examples of what I've tried there: Singara: These are similar to the better-known Indian Samosas, but here they are stuffed with a delectable mix of potatoes, cauliflower, vegetables, and exotic Bangladeshi spices. They are served piping hot, with a golden-crispy crust, and the savory ingredients burst with mouthwatering flavor. Garlic Naan: A beloved favorite with a unique twist, they bake these thin and crispy while slathering them in generous amounts of rich garlic butter. Goat Rezala: I have never had such tender, succulent goat in all my wanderings. This dish is a sublime mix of melt-in-your-mouth meat bathed in a flavorful REZALA (similar to curry) made with creamy yogurt, cashew, and poppy seed paste. This results in a rich, deeply satisfying taste with subtle notes of cardamom and nutmeg. Eggplant Puree: This was an unexpected delight served as a side dish. What a burst of flavor! The smoky taste of the pureed eggplant, infused with a medley of spices and garlic, created a creamy, smoky blend of absolute heaven. Stingray: It's incredibly rare to find this dish, and if you like seafood, you'll be overjoyed. This fish has a unique texture somewhere between tilapia and squid. Unlike regular fish, stingrays have no bones; their skeleton is made from cartilage, so most of the "bones" in the dish are crunchy and edible. The tender meat is bathed in a spicy, savory curry and served with aromatic basmati rice. Pulao: Obviously prepared with great care, this fragrant basmati rice is infused with aromatic whole spices, herbs, and a rich stock. They serve it with roast chicken or Goat Rezala. The food here is absolutely incredible! The owners are down-to-earth people who want to introduce the broad and flavorful tastes of Bangladesh. They have truly mastered the art of using multiple spices to magical effect. They create higher amplitudes of sweet, savory, spicy, aromatic masterpieces that you would expect in fine-dining establishments, but instead, they welcome all people to their humble restaurant in this little-explored corner of Queens -- a true hidden gem that all foodies dream of discovering as they wander. Absolutely delicious!

My mango lassi was really satiating. The waitress was friendly and inviting. The lady at the next table was sharing with me how legit the food is here. She told me how she feels transported to Nepal when she eats at Kanchanjunga Restaurant. I would totally revisit. The restaurant feels like someone's home kitchen and your grandparents are making dinner. There's a sink to wash your hands before you eat. A few concerns: It's cash only. It's a hole-in-the-wall joint, so there is like 5 tables that can fit about 15-20 people...and no bathroom. The space is small and a bit humid in there.
