My first experience of getting a few dishes were amazing. It really reminded me of home food. The second time around I didn't get the same taste unfortunately. I am happy to try again because the first time was really too good for me to forget. It's a grocery store + food pick up place (I don't think there is sit down service here but I may be wrong). The service was not too long but not super fast either. The grocery store has different types of fish and I enjoyed taking some Hilsa home. The quality was great - they also scaled it for me which was amazing. The ambience is tight and a lot of things fit into a small place but it's manageable. read more

I buy fish only from the shop because they provide the fishes which I like to buy it for my home. The service is pretty good before cutting the fish or a meat every time they do ask my preference and they do it very well. You can buy a lot of Bengali sweet also. Earlier this shop was known as Bangla Bazar which was located at Wolf Road. read more

I needed a few things and this place was close to where I was already shopping in Sunnyvale. It is a South Asian grocery store. 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. read more

I like their rohu fish, ilish fish is not up to the standard. Both times they were disappointing

I ordered a chicken roast, butter chicken, and beef curry. Every item was almost inedibly sweet. The butter chicken and beef curry both didn't have the depth and umph I expect from Indian food. I said it prior, but the dishes were really sweet and I couldn't finish them all. On the plus side, the meats were cooked well. The chicken was slow cooked and had a shredded texture while the beef was pretty tender and not dry. Add less sugar and cook down the curry more and they got a star dish. read more

Food is yumm. A take away place. Service is great!!! I love ruhu, ilish, Murg pulao, shutki with Baingan, etc.. nice supermarket where I can get most of my Bengali and Bihari items read more

The food is delicious and very authentically Bengali. The staff is also very kind and will offer to make you specific authentic Bengali dishes if there are things you want that are not on the menu if you ask and they have the supplies on hand. This is inside of a grocery store so there is no seating, only takeout. During Ramadan they also offer delicious Bengali iftar boxes. Would highly recommend getting the iftar box with pakora, boot, muri, fried eggplant, an aloo chop, and a date. read more

Not sure if this review will be filtered but I'm posting to inform that I bought an item on June 22 2020 (6/22/2020) and the expiration date on three item was September 18 2019 (9/18/2019). We are in the middle of a pandemic and the owner needs to realize to check his inventory instead of profits. I've attached a picture just so that this review is not disputed buy the owner saying this was a false review. The owner refunded the amount charged for the item when I called him back to inform what he's been selling in his store but as a customer I'd advice everybody shopping here to check the dates on their items. I've been shopping for regional grocery in this store for years even when they were at their old location at El Camino Real. Somehow the quality has gone down over the years. read more

The best and the most authentic Bangladeshi cuisine in the Bay Area. Order any of the dishes these expert cooks prepare, and your taste buds will be amply rewarded. Even the snacks are out of this world! Try the fish cutlets, chicken roasts, goat biryani and other dishes, and you will become a permanent customer, guaranteed. Prices are extremely reasonable, service is superb and people are among the friendliest you will meet. Order ahead to avoid waiting in line, because there are ALWAYS customers waiting! Bon Appetit. -- Hasan Zillur Rahim, San Jose, CA read more

Food is extremely oily & unhealthy. There's no seating option also. Service is fast & good. Overall ambience is slightly beaten down.

Wow! What a treasure trove of a place; especially for those who long for Bengali cuisine; provided they are willing to expend some elbow grease in the kitchen. I dropped in twice today. They had a huge freezer-load of full Hilsa and Rohu fish and are more than happy to clean and cut it for you if you ask them. Just make sure you ask to them to clean it too since I asked them to only cut it thinking the fish had been scaled already. On getting to my friend's place, they told me this place also had mishti doi, the sweet Bengali yogurt set in a clay pot. So I *had* to go back and there I was, on my way back home, dropping in to pick up two of those little pots of gold (ok, yogurt). I haven't tried it yet but I can't wait. They kept it frozen so I gotta let it thaw out and let it get to the right texture. We also had some chicken rolls and the "chicken kebab roll" was really good. Not Kolkatta "Kati Roll" good, but still pretty darn good! Damn, I wish this place wasn't a 90 minutes' drive away! read more

I was looking to cater Bengali food for my son's birthday party. Have tried every restaurant that caters Bengali food here in the bay area but this has been the best so far. Food was simply outstanding and made it slightly customized to to my needs to taste more like Assamese/Bengali fusion. Non veg main courses I ordered- Goat Curry, Iislih Pulao, Rohu Curry, Egg Curry( It was simply delicious ). Appetizers : Tandoori Chicken, Samosa Chat etc was nothing unique. Tasted like any restaurant food. Thanks to the chef (forgot her name), she was very friendly and yes thank you for the delicious food ! read more

I ordered some vegetarian dishes along with 2 pieces of Rohu fish. The size of the fish was really small. When I asked the lady serving the food if it was only half a piece as it was too small for the price charged, she casually replied "I know some pieces are really small." Super!! read more

Was SUPER excited initially to visit here cause I've never been to a Bangladeshi market and restaurant before. I got reprimanded for looking around and taking photos of things I found unique and cool. I told them I was I waiting for my Bangladeshi friends to have dinner there and they were ok. 5 minutes later, I started to get followed and questioned if I was indeed there for what I said I was there for. They told me to sit down and didn't let me walk and look around anymore. My friends showed up a few minutes later and I was so shook and bothered by then. The food they served was good and were flavors I've never had before. Still, I don't dare to come back to this place alone again. It was sad and obvious that I was not wanted and welcomed there. I apologize for being a pest and nuisance. read more

This is the best Bangladeshi grocery + food place in the Bay Area. I drive from San Ramon to get food from there... the food is that good!!!

Poor substandard, unhygienic and lazy owner. The shop opens at 11 which is pretty late by all standards. Several items in the store are expired. The food taken from the store doesn't smell fresh. This is purely a place for Bangladeshi immigrants craving for Bengali food and spices. Since there aren't any stores around their quality is substandard read more

Catered Bengali desserts for one of our events and our guests loved every single bit of it! Owners are very easy to communicate with and items were priced reasonably. I will definitely be back and highly recommend them! read more

Very good food and reasonable price ! There are some pics I attached. I didn't like their beet chop (too thick coating) . But overall good .. read more

This is my dose of Bangladesh every time I need one! Their goat biriyani is simply amazing. I think the meat is marinated by magical elves! I'm not exaggerating when I say they know what they are doing because the taste is spot on for most of their items. Very hardworking people and humble service. I hate how close this place is because they are responsible for the extra pounds I have gained in the last one year! Wish them the best! read more

Excellent place to get Bangladeshi grocery, fish and pre cooked food item. My only complaint is occasional long wait to get my fish cleaned and cut. read more

Walked in to buy some meat. Noticed a "fishy" smell. Ignored better sense and got some "fresh" fish cooked to order to go. Waited 45 minutes for my order to be prepared. Got home, ate my meal and exactly 7 hours later (in the middle of Sunday night) I WAS PUKING MY GUTS OUT !!! I never had a more miserable Monday at work. NEVER going there again! read more

I always liked Bangla Bazar but my recent few visits were not so good. The store smells really bad, sickening and unhygienic. They don't even turn on the air conditioner. Earlier they used to put a sign of one organic firm from where they used to get chicken and other meat. But they have removed that label. Seems they are getting it from somewhere else. read more

Good place for Bengali cuisine. They have limited but good options. The place is good to order from, although I found it not very attractive when I visited in person. The fish options are good. Veggie options are not great. The food is a tad too greasy as well. They can do better. read more

I ordered Goat Biriani, Beef Curry, Pakora, Vegetable Shingara and Chicken Liver Shingara. Beef Shingara & Vegetable Shingara: I couldn't eat more than a bite either because it was so horrible. Goat Biriani & Beef Curry: Both the items were piping hot which means that they were pre-cooked and microwaved before serving. Why on earth it took them more than 30 minutes to serve me microwaved food is beyond me. Not good food and horrible service. I have never experienced service as horrible as this in my life! read more

I love their Goat biryani. To me, it is so good that I cannot eat biryani from any other restaurant now. Found this place by chance through Grubhub three years ago and have been a regular ever since. Two thumbs up for the Goat biryani read more

Overall it is ok. Too much ghee in their goat korma. Very nice service by the owners.

Tried their bhuna kichari with egg curry. Awesome. Love their tandoori chicken. Goat sami kabab. Pretty much all the stuffs I order. The lady in the counter is really nice, polite and helpful. Cant wait to go back again :) read more

They moved to a new location over by Wolf road and selling tradition Bengoli food on the side . Save your money and go somewhere else. Food was disgusting, I don't know where they got their recipe. Goat biriany was super dry , disgusting Murighonto , Halim - they literately picked up some pre cooked chunks of goat meat from another nasty goat curry he had it out there for sale and mixed it with " Halim". Completely deferent recipe and he came up with own disgusting fusion. This is the 2nd time I had this experience . Only reason I giving them one star because the staff was polite. read more

Never buy fish from this place. The same rohu n hilsha other places $1 cheaper than this place. This is a crappy place and crappy management charging more for everything. read more

Best place to get Bengali fish in Bay Area - Hilsa and Rohu. Mr Tipu runs this place for many years and he is extremely honest and reliable in providing the right feedback on what to buy. The entire staff is friendly and helpful, always willing to come by and show the choices and provide suggestions. They carry all kinds of meat, fish which is of high quality. read more

So, I went back a few times and tried different items. Food remain very authentic, great price and generous portion. Food: Chicken puloi (chicken rice): simply delicious. This isn't exactly my highlight but the taste was good. Biryani: my search maybe over. Biryani is tough to compare simply because it has so many variations. I liked theirs because it was mild and not overpowering. Generous portions of chicken. Although, just a heads up, there are pieces of green chilies. Avoid those and you'll live. Hilsha fish in mustard sauce: super tasty and spot on. Although, eating that fish is an art itself. Zillion tiny/sharp pieces of bone. It had to be eaten in the privacy of home at own leisure. Piajo: the best way to describe it would be a cross between flour fritters and opinion rings. Taste wise, mind own. I think the base is made with yellow lentil. OMG. My taste buds broke into happy dance. It's crunchy and delicious appetizer. Veg pakora: I bit into large chunk of real veggies. There were cauliflower, potato and other veg, I think. And many more dishes that will take a month to jot down. Extensive menu and each item is available at all time. Which other desi restaurant has that? Um, not many. Just go try. As for their pricing inconsistency, it's all good now. They figured it all out and have HUGE menu on the wall. Honestly, that menu itself is an art! So, there are no more surprises about pricing - very consistent. Maybe, was a little harsh earlier, given they were new. Service remain very good. The people are super nice. Don't forget, complimentary tea too and tons of parking. Thanks for all the yumminess, Desi! :) read more

If I could take out some stars from the already written reviews, then I would have certainly done it for this crappy place. I would never ever return to but meat from here. Bought lamb and chicken from this place last Saturday and kept it as packed in the freezer. When I took it out yesterday to cook, it was completely stale and had a rotten smell coming from the chicken. I would recommend going to this place to buy spices but never for meat. The fishes they have is over 6 months old. Please be careful unless you dont care about the health of your family read more

Authentic Bengali/Odiya food. Samosa has fried cut potato stuffing rather than mashed potatoes is an example of how authentic it is. We liked fish curry and butter chicken. Chicken pulao is slightly sweet which I didn't like. I will definitely try their goat curry next time. read more

With this whole pandemic going on Bangla Bazar ended up having many items that I needed to stock up on. They still have a fairly good amount of products for sale. Most other places are selling out real quick in anticipation of quarantine. Grab your items before it is too late! read more

Not sure how someone can give 4 or 5 stars to this place. dirty. floor was dirty and also things were thrown all over. and lot of smell in the store disappointing experience read more

I had a good experience. The goat meat I purchased was fresh and clean. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good goat meat.

They have good Bangladeshi product such as my fav Ilish mas. Kochu , kaski mas Nd more thanks again keep up good work...... Thank you read more

The food is good,the price is not because portions are small. The tray is small 9"x 7" and the main course they put in a small section of the tray. Large section of tray filled with rice. $13 dollars (With tax) for combo and does not come with drink. I would rate it 2.5 stars but cannot so I go to 3 so I am being generous. I suggest Restaurant inside Bahrat Bazar. Food is fresh and delicious. Portions larger. They make fresh paratha bread. read more

We go there mainly for fresh meat. Definately not vegetables. You get goat, beef, chicken all fresh with bone, bone less, kheema and frozen fish of various kind. A must for goat meat lovers. read more

It has improved from the time its started. Liked the taste. Curry and rice can give the almost authentic taste of Bengal
