    Not appetizing. Mutton was hard.
    Sundeep S.

    Food was disgusting. Mutton biryani was terrible. Meat was over cooked and rubbery. Rice had odd flavor. If you charge $12 for a biryani, please make sure it's good. Khalil's biryani house's Saturday special Biryani is way better. Fists time I ate here. Probably won't eat here again. I finished it because I was hungry.

    please do not go to store for online pick up I wait 40 minutes for a pick up. I ordered online and I called them before I call they say they getting ready come when I arrive not ready ,

    Plastic stuffed inside the kebob

    Plastic Wrap was stuffed inside this chicken shammi kebob. Absolutely disgusting! If u eat from this place please do yourself a favor and inspect the food before biting in.

    Completely rotten

    Gave me rotten sweets. Friday I was craving sweets dessert so I went inside al aqsa restaurant at 2107 starling ave they gave me this, I came back home when I started to eat, it tasted sour & the liquid was like a syrup it was supposed to be like water, completely rotten. Disgusting.

    Always gotta have Bengali food whenever I come back to NY. I usually go to Jackson heights but My friends live in the Bronx now and they found a small Bengali neighborhood that satisfies my cravings. You can't go wrong with any dish at this restaurant. If you want to be a little adventurous try the liver samosa; for everyone else they will have the potato and veggie samosas as well as fried chicken rolls. We usually get some sort of biryani, a curry dish and kebabs. The portions are huge and prices are cheap. You can be really full for only $10 a head.

    The best Bangladesh food ever!!! My boyfriend took me and my kids here to eat, he's a regular customer and knows the owner and it was Devine! Authentic Bangladesh food, you can get anything and it's taste great. The waiter was amazing, he explained all the dishes to us, suggested the amount to get and share for our 4 party person! I mean what can I say, the portions are huge and cheap but not cheap tasting. I wanted to slap my own face, lol you will not be disappointed and please thank me later! Thanks for the amazing dining experience, we will be back again and I'm sure my boyfriend Anthony will beat us to it! I have a few pics of my boo and the owner, he's an amazing guy!

    As shown in the photo is the rice and chicken, with a bone on top that was hidden between the rice.

    A friend of mine just ordered some food for me. I typically get chicken biryani, samosas, and naan from here. When the food arrived home I noticed piece of chicken bone inside the rice. It looks as if someone ate parts of the chicken and placed it back in the rice to sell. I have been going here for years. It is sad to see bones appearing in the food.

    Such a great place! We were visiting a relative in Bronx from Montreal and having grown up in Bangladesh, got instantly mesmerized by the number of Bangladeshis in the neighborhood. We decided to stop by Al Aqsa to have breakfast in Bangladeshi style. They didn't disappoint us! The food was just like what I used to have back in Bangladesh! The omelet, paratha, sabji was so good and the kind waitress who was serving us stopped by couple of times to ensure everything is fine and if we need anything else. After reading about their malai chai on a paper clip hanged on their wall I wanted to try that out after breakfast but unfortunately they serve that only in the afternoon and evening. After trying their "normal" chai my wife and me literally became speechless and stared at each other! No kidding! It was the BEST chai I've had outside of Bangladesh. What a treat! The liquor was thick and the tea aroma was "intoxicating". We wondered if their "normal" chai is this good, what would be their "malai" chai. Since we were supposed to be leaving NY that night we decided to stop by again in the late afternoon/evening for their malai chai. Unfortunately they ran out of it when we went there in the evening and it usually takes around 2-3 hours of milk boiling to make a new batch of malai chai. We ended up having their normal chai again along with samosa and moglai paratha. They were all equally good! One last thing I want to mention is it's not only the food that made us fall in love with place. It was also the atmosphere. There were so many Bangladeshi people both in the morning and evening and their gossip (adda in Bangla) made us feel at home! I wish there were places like this in Montreal where we could visit once in a while to keep in touch with our root - Bangladesh

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. And if you are in the mood for Sweets, they have a variety of sweets, from Rosh Malai to shondash and so many others. Every sweets that I have tasted good. They also do catering for sweets, appetizers and main dishes.

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.
