    Mishti doi (large)
    Shristy A.

    Vegetarian reviewer: I got a delivery order of Roshogulla and mishti doi with a friend . Being from Kolkata and having eaten the actual mishti doi - this was a little disappointing. It was thick, which was great, but I felt like the orangish color was food-color. The yogurt was properly sour and had sugar in it but not jaggery, I think. My point either you make it with sugar and sell the white colored mishti doi or the naturally brownish colored mishti doi - with jaggery. The Roshogullas were big enough but not too soft to melt in mouth. My friend also liked the it better than the doi -pretty big and filling. You can control the sweetness as per your liking .. by squeezing out the syrup. Prices seem to be fair. NOTE: They care about their business and replied to this review. On the same day! Love that, they are definitely looking to take care of their customers!

    I would have given them 10 out of 5 if I could . Can't praise their gurer Rosogolla enough . Absolutely the best . In fact I think theirs is better than most of the gurer Rosogolla I had in Kolkata . Lil on the pricy side but totally worth it because of the taste and the size of each Rosogolla. I have ordered the sorshe ( mustard) fish curry and it was scrumptious too . It is not an upscale place but it definitely beats lots of upscale place when it comes to taste . Absolutely recommended!!!

    Our review for Bongo's Bangladeshi restaurant in Fremont - Price point: $ (~$15-20 pp) ***Pro tip: On Fridays, they serve Kachhi goat biriyani! - : Bangladeshi (Bengali) - : Interior is small and can accommodate upto 4 ppl per table. It is clean and service is good. They have Bengali folk music on most of the time, which really elevates the experience. We prefer to generally order to-go and eat at the comfort of our home! - : 1. : Try this if you are a Kolkata biriyani fan. Honestly we think this is better than most Kolkata biriyani (Arsalan, Aminia, Shiraj, Dada Boudi, etc). The goat is super tender, juicy and perfectly cooked. The portion size is huge (comes with an egg) and can be easily shared by 2 ppl (10/10). 2. : This is very similar to Kolkata chicken biriyani, but has a unique taste. It comes with a huge chicken leg piece and egg. This is the closest to Kolkata chicken biriyani you will get in bay area (9.5/10) 3. : A very specialized Bengali dessert, the rosogollas (cheeseballs soaked in sugar syrup) are soft, sweetness is perfectly well balanced and the flavor of gur (jaggery) is strong (9.5/10) 4. : Another classic Bengali dessert, mishti doi (caramelized yogurt) is not as good as rest of the items we have tried here, but if you are really craving for it, this is the one of the only options we know in bay area (9/10). Give them a try, if you are local and love Bengali Cuisine! OF COURSE, WE WILL BE BACK (Overall, 10/10)! Recommended for: Bengalis, Biriyani lovers

    they have such great bangladeshi and kolkata food and the taste & quality very solid.

    Sadly not many Bengali, bangladeshi restaurants in the Bay area. This one is definitely one of the consistent Bangladeshi food restaurants. We have probably been here 20 times in the last 5 years (if not more). There is a difference between west Bengal and Bangladeshi food and this one embodies bangladeshi food. If you want to explore new food and want genuine, flavorful food- this is your spot! Give it a try. In door dining is very limited and can get crowded depending on the time of the day and weekend. Other items to try are moghlai porotta, fish or mutton chop, chicken roast, any fish dish. You will not be disappointed, Put those knives, forks and spoons away and enjoy it with your hands. You will thank me later!

    Food: Authentic Bangladeshi food in the Bay Area. You find items like "Kacchi biryani", "Chicken Roast", and "Goat Rezala" which are very uncommon. IMO, Bangladeshi cuisine is more meat-heavy and somewhat less spicy compared to Indian cuisine. If that sounds good to you, you must check it out! Ambiance: You don't come here for the ambiance. The setup is very ad-hoc with 2-3 tables only. If that's not your vibe, order takeout. Service: Very fast, contactless payments. If you are ordering takeout, you will be in and out within a few minutes. Parking: Huge parking lot outside!

    A super chill spot with delicious + authentic dishes and great staff! Everything was a hit for me, including dessert!

    Shorshe Ilish Goat Rezala

    TLDR: Good food but really greasy! Chanced upon this Bengali food joint in Fremont. Known for their sweets Bengali fish is famous for their curries made in mustard oil. Not the fanciest joint and we decided to take the food to go. Tried their Fish in mustard oil -Sorshe Illish, Goat Rezalla and misthi doi! Absolutely loved the flavors and had the right amount of spice. Only concern was the amount of grease in the curries! Had to drain a good amount of grease before digging in.

It's just a little cold in there for some reason. We started with a watermelon spritz and the inji-puli lotus appetizer since we'd never tried anything like that, and it was very yummy and had such a nice crispy but soft texture. It was also a good portion for all four of us. We got the goat curry and the chettinad spice vegetables, and a few parathas to share. We were afraid it wouldn't be enough but the parathas are actually very filling, and also have a really great texture of both crispy and soft, and delicious flavor. The curries were good, could have used a bit more salt but good spice. The stars of the show were the desserts - this deserves its own section because omg I'm still thinking about the desserts!!! We got the gulab jamun brûlée - an amazingly well done take on creme brûlée with a perfect top, easy to crack and beautifully flavored. The filling was amazing and sweet and so so yummy. They also were kind enough to give us a complimentary chocolate cake which was absolutely amazing. I'm generally not too impressed by chocolate but the quality of this cake was phenomenal with perfect sweetness and richness. I need these two again !! Definitely recommend coming here for an occasion.

    Wow. I've never been to an Indian restaurant this posh before -- the moment I walked in I was like,…read more"woah." The space is absolutely beautiful, which explains why reservations are so hard to come by. I somehow snagged a last-minute outdoor reservation for four, but three more people joined us at the last minute. When we arrived, I asked a gentleman who looked like the manager if we could move indoors because it was cold. Even though they were very busy, he found us indoor seats in a perfect spot -- we definitely got lucky. We were a party of seven, half of us vegetarian. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share, and everything was great, but the vegetable biryani stole the show for me. I don't come from India, so take this from a non-native -- it was hands down the best veggie biryani I've ever had. The flavors were incredible, and it came with raita and a chutney that paired perfectly. I kept thinking about it even after trying everything else. Other highlights: the gunpowder idli was mind-blowing, and the lotus root appetizer (my first time trying lotus root) was a delightful surprise -- great texture and flavor. The dosa was soft and exactly how I like it (I'm not into crispy dosa), and the paratha with the vegetable curry was delicious too. The meat dishes my friends ordered got rave reviews from them as well, but I was still daydreaming about that biryani. Service was excellent -- the staff were kind, patient, and especially attentive to the kids in our party. When the restaurant is busy there can be a wait for food, but trust me: every bite is worth the wait. Highly recommend Anantara if you want a beautiful dining experience with outstanding food.

I loved the pan-tini ( non - alocoholic) it was not overly sweet, very fizzy refreshing drink with bits of pan leaf which was a delight when you bite into it. Mango chilli drink was awful though. Dahi puri was served quickly, it was very sweet for me. The 65 sizzler was flavourful, the chutney complimented the assortments of paneer, Gobi and veg pieces well. We had ordered garlic naan to eat with the sizzler but it was sent to us 15 min after we ate the starter. :/ Then we had to wait another 15 min munching on the cold bread while we waited for paneer balti and tandoori roti. The staff offered to take back the cold naan which was much appreciated. Paneer balti was very indulgent. It creamy and on the sweeter side. Garlic naan was delicious. I wish they served raw onion and lemon on the side though.. it would've elevated the experience for me. Will be returning to try the plethora of the options in the menu. Also, I'm very confused as the interior decoration screamed South Indian, but the menu is very mixed and focused on the sizzlers and indo Chinese , tandoor ..

It was sweet, flavorless, dry and lacking spice - four out of four people didn't like it. I definitely won't be trying it again. The Mutton Biryani, was flavorful and definitely many times better than chicken biryani. The Haleem was the absolute best item we ordered and a definite hit, making it worth trying again. Be warned about their 'Family Pack'. It's advertised as a family size but serves about two people, not definitely four, which is quite pricey for a 32oz bucket at $40. While the Haleem's quality justified the price as a seasonal item, the 'Family Pack' concept for biryani is poor value. I'd recommend the Haleem and Mutton Biryani, but steer clear of the Chicken Biryani and don't expect the "Family Pack" to feed more than two, 3 at best.

We ordered the Naga special chicken curry, the brinjal curry and the shrimp mango curry( that comes with rice), and roti and naan. Portions are ample , place is clean and service is satisfactory. Our sever Gopal took care of us in a timely and friendly fashion. The food itself, I mean , the flavors are all there. Each dish tastes unique and you get a sense you are eating out. No home style simple cooking here, the spices are intense and each dish has a bite. Isn't that why you go out to eat? Prices are really good, if you consider what other places charge for entrees. And everything comes out piping hot and fresh. So don't wait till the weekend to try it out, go today!

Server warned us that medium is super spicy so we went with mild which we did not think it was spicy at all. Naan and roti were good. Roti is a bit more dry than the naan. Would order the naan again.

I wish they'd leave a tray of napkins on the table instead of the need to repeatedly ask for more napkins (because some of us/some cultures can't stand the oiliness on their hands...). I also wish there was more variety on their menu especially regarding the veggie curries... what happened to palak paneer? :( ...also found it to be strange that their online menu was different especially regarding the apps portion. Plus I always order rice and when I saw multiple tables ordering rice, it was just a bowl of white basmati rice...wished they'd flavor it like multiple other establishments.
