And yes, it absolutely delivers on the food. We went here on a Friday evening for their special biryani and enjoyed it! The portions are generous, one biryani can easily feed two people. It a self serve place where they bring your food out to your table, but you pick up your own plates, silverware etc. The Kaachi mutton biryani was packed full of flavor and it was easy to see why they had a steady stream of pick up orders. We also got the kosha chicken which is spicy but not overpoweringly so. To end off our meal, we got the norer gul rosohogulla, a good flavor and mildly sweet. Overall, a solid place for take out and eating at home, since you will not want to move after you've indulged!

We stumbled upon Bongo's during my husband's ongoing quest to find the best Bengali food in the Bay…read moreArea. Bongo's serves authentic Bangladeshi cuisine, which is very close in flavor to Bengali/Kolkata-style food--so we were excited to try it. Our first impression, honestly, wasn't great. It's a very small place with just a few tables--I wouldn't even quite call it a full-fledged restaurant. But since it came highly recommended by several people, we decided to dine in anyway. We started with the fish chop (cutlet) and chicken Mughlai paratha, and both were amazing. The paratha does take a while to prepare, so be prepared to wait--but it's absolutely worth it. Freshly made, rich, and indulgent. For the mains, I tried their Kachi Biryani (available only on Fridays), and my husband ordered the fish dopiaza with polao. The biryani was hands down the best dish of the night--succulent goat pieces, fragrant and flavorful rice, mildly spiced, and perfectly balanced. It was pure comfort food. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the fish curry as well and said it was very delicious and authentic. Overall, the food was amazing, and the service was good too. That said, given the limited space and setup, next time I would probably opt for takeout instead of dining in. If you're craving authentic Bangladeshi/Bengali flavors in the Bay Area, Bongo's is definitely worth trying--just adjust your expectations about the ambience and focus on the food.

My review about this place is strictly for their meat butcher section and grocery section. I have…read morenot tried their cooked food, so I have no info on them yet. I have purchased goat meat and whole chicken from them couple of times, and I was always happy with the quality. I appreciate that they ask the purpose of the meat, based on which they make the cuts - e.g. Biryani will need bigger pieces, and a goat curry will need a bit small than that. The goat meat has been tender, chicken was fresh, and they give you all parts you want. I was also glad to find Palm Date Jaggery (Khejur er gur - for the Bengalis out there), and I liked the quality too. I learned from my mother early on, how to know the jaggery is of quality, and their product met that quality mark. Also, their grocery section has all the necessary products required for South Asian and Mediterranean cooking, which I find to be convenient.

However, I referenced photos from Yelp and Google Maps before coming and I was so excited to try the chicken biryani. I called in ahead and the entire process took 25 minutes. It was... uh... A bunch of lightly seasoned rice and some meat off the bone... I didn't check before I left the store, but I had a conversation with the cashier and she noticed I was buying something spicy. She warned me that the biryani wasn't spicy, to which I replied I knew. I don't know what was wrong with it that day or if it was supposed to be like this? Photos for reference.

Went in for some vegetables, the stock is very limited and they had no bags to put the produce in and no one around to help. Went up to the counter to pay and there was no one there. Called for someone and a woman peeked out of the kitchen and went right back in! She came back a few minutes later and was having a conversation over the phone. She started ringing me up and then right in the middle of doing so, she walked away! Didn't come back for a few more minutes. Rang me up but they charge for using anything other than cash. Produce was very limited, as well as the other packaged items. It is a very small place. They also have a kitchen but but it was not busy on a weekday evening. There are plenty of other Indian stores withing a few minutes driving distance and I will not be back here.

The fragrance from the kitchen wafted through the entire space made me want to try everything. It's a place where you order, pick up food and find a seat. I love that the pick up stations matches the type of food ordered. For example, I ordered the lunch special so I picked up my order under the special banner. Someone else ordered Tandoori, they picked up food under tandoori. I picked the chicken curry lunch special and I thought it was a basic choice, but the tray was anything but. So delicious! I love the lentil soup that came on the side. The table shared sev puri and the batata puri and both were really good. I think I liked the batata puri better. Its texture is similar to a hummus but with a lot more flavor. The cashier and the people at the pick up counter were all friendly. Patient especially with that many people waiting and asking if it's their dish or not. This was a new way to enjoy Indian food and I would come back to try more of the menu.
