We are out of towners and needed catered food for our son's event in Queens and reached out to a…read morebunch of Bangladeshi restaurants. Based on the menu we wanted, Khalil Biryani ended up being the one with the best rates per person. A few restaurants had cheaper fixed catering packages, but once we swapped in the dishes we actually wanted, their prices ended up being higher. We worked with Rubel at the Jamaica location and he was patient, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. On the event day, the food was delivered right on time. Everything was packaged well and they included clear instructions on how to handle the food so it stayed fresh until serving. For appetizers, we ordered 70 chicken samosas, but they gave us 80. In fact, they were generous with all the catering trays and gave us noticeably more food than we expected which we really appreciated. For the mains, the beef biryani was awesome. The taste actually reminded me more of a beef tehari than a traditional biryani but that wasn't a bad thing. The beef was cooked perfectly, tender, and very flavorful. The eggs for the biryani was given seperately so they didn't get soggy and broken. My only room for improvement here is the meat distribution between the trays. The overall amount of meat was perfect, but the first two trays had too much meat and not enough rice, while the last two trays were mostly rice. The chicken roast was another standout. The spices were well balanced, the chicken was fall off the bone tender and it received compliments from just about everyone. The shami kababs were probably the weakest item. They were okay. I've definitely had more flavorful versions elsewhere. There was also a simple salad that was included. For dessert, the gulab jamuns were the best we've had in NYC so far. Overall, the beef biryani, chicken roast, and gulab jamuns completely exceeded our expectations. We had several guests ask where the food was from, including people who live in the area and have plenty of access to Bangladeshi restaurants. That says a lot. Kudos to the Khalil Biryani team for helping make our event a success.

This is what I call a "Dhaba" type of spot, which you will find in Pakistan select areas that truly give you home cook style feeling. The people working here are very friendly :) They take care of you and once you become a regular they will know exactly what you want and set it up and sometimes even get free dessert :) which I Never say No to lol I highly recommend this spot too especially those who have not tried their Biryani.

Honestly, even if it isn't your normal go-to, I promise you should venture outside of your comfort zone and give it a try. As soon as I stepped in I was transported to a golden palace. The place is adorned with gold and bling, the chandelier caught my eye immediately! It's decorated with cultural trinkets and I truly felt transported a bit, it was simply beautiful and I had a strong feeling that whatever I was about to eat was going to be fire. I'm familiar with Indian cuisine and am a huge fan, but vegetarian?! I'm a strong carnivore but was excited to exit my norm and try something new. Why not right? AND BABY THEY DIDN'T DISAPPOINT! When feeling adventerous, and hungry, the best thing to do is have them bring out a few different standouts so you can really get a diverse range of offerings. And I'm so glad I did. Now, we're here for the food of course: Gobi Chilli -- Fried cauliflower in a sticky mild spicy chili sauce. Crispy on the outside, soft & tender on the inside, and absolutely addictive. I had to stop myself from licking the plate. Masala Fries -- Crispy, golden, and served with a tamarind sauce and a mint chutney that both deserve their own fan clubs. I need bottles of each in my house yesterday. Tandoori Mix Grill -- This one threw me. It's their version made with cottage cheese--and let me be clear, I don't even like cottage cheese. But somehow, this was smoky, juicy, and downright good. I was shocked and impressed. Shahi Paneer -- A curry where paneer is cooked in a creamy sauce made with onions, yogurt, nut and seeds. Rich, flavorful, and comforting. It gave "I've been simmering all day just waiting for you." Amritsari Kulcha -- Buttery, crispy, garlicky, and elite. Dipped in the chickpeas and yogurt? That bite was a moment. And the Vanilla Bubble Tea? I don't know what kind of magic was in there, but it tasted like a milkshake and might honestly be the best one I've ever had. See what happens when you venture out?! The staff was kind and the food came out hot and fast. Everything looked good, smelled good, and most importantly--tasted good. Queens got another winner on its hands. I'll be back. Probably soon.

Update : I heard…read morefrom my friends they are doing pretty good still now, good the service is great! Someone told me about this new Bangladeshi snack place in Jamaica. So on my way to meet my friends I decided to stop by. Upon searching on google it says opens at 1 pm, but they actually opens around 3/4 pm. I Gus's because it's a snack place, most desi people will come in the evening. Some young Bangladeshi friends decided to open a authentic Bangladeshi snack place, what an awesome thing to do! Rather then living on minimum wage at Dunkin' Donuts or McDonald's ! They decided they wanna try something different & make money for a better future! The owners are nice, very welcoming & super helpful. I ordered chatpati & lemonade! Both tasted great! Was full, so could not try out fuchka or faluda. Maybe after a month I will stop by again just to see how it's going. I hope this place does really well & have more Bangladeshisnacks in time, which we all Bangladeshis miss terribly I also wish I lived in Jamaica I would been their every day customer! I saw someone in google complaint about the price being high. I have to say this, so here it goes : 'We desi people will pay way more to an American food place without a single complaint! But don't wanna pay decent amount to our own kind! ' Really sad & disappointing! Please lets help our small desi restaurants to grow ! Don't be be so judgmental, they just opened. Give them some time so handle things! It's not that easy to open a business & make everything perfect in weeks! Btw , the food is actually pretty good. As long as their food is great & they keep the place nice & clean please don't complain! Instead encourage, so they do much better in future

What a hidden gem!! This place has the best Sri Lankan food I've tried in the states. The interior…read moreis clean and the staffs are friendly. I read their webpage on the story of the restaurant. It is own by a Sri Lankan couple - one Singhalese and one Tamil. Their love represents the union of the two groups of folks who had long lasting conflict and tension in the country. At this restaurant, you can experience the culinary fusion of the two distinct tradition. We ordered: - mutton roll 5/5 - calamari lamprais 6/5 AMAZING!! - deviled king fish 5/5 Their mutton roll is stuffed with filling - I love how thin the crust is, you really get a taste of the chunky juicy protein. The lamprais is infused with the aromantic banana leaf, along with the colorful and spiceful sides. They are so generous with their portions. It was my first time trying lamprais and I'm now addicted. I highly recommend getting this dish. One thing about Sri Lankan food is it tends to be on the spicer side (think Thai spicy). We were glad to see all items on the menu had a "mild" option. The lamprais is a safe option for those that can't eat spicy. The deviled king fish (mackerel) is a popular fish consumed in Sri Lanka. We got mild but it was still spicy. It was flavored so nicely so if you like spice and saucy dishes, this is the one for you! It was served with bell peppers and onions. We were so full we didn't get to try their desserts but they have many classic desserts options as well! We can't wait to be back to try their curry and other dishes. This place was such a nice hidden gem I really hope everyone will come give it a try!
