    SO MUCH FOOD
    Waheda I.

    I came here today with a friend. I'm of Bengali descent. So I usually will go to restaurants which had food that isn't spicy enough for me. Boy did this place blow me away. I asked for the food spicy and i sure as hell got it spicy. Staff was very sweet. As soon as the conversation switched over to Bangla, they began to relax. Everyone was accommodating. The best part I will say is the price matched with the portions. Omfg. For $16 I got rice, salad and PLATTER of meat. This makes me happy. Alas I couldn't finish it. But I did take it home. Very good food and great staff. Certainly a place to stop by. :P

    Came with a friend, I'd never had Bengali food before now. I ordered the morog polao and was blown away by the flavor. I can't speak for the authenticity, but it really hit the spot. The portion was massive and I couldn't finish it, plus it came with a small salad. Prices were good and the portions large, so if I'm ever in the area, would definitely stop by again.

    Breakfast!
    Sally A.

    Came here looking for bengali breakfast food. It did not disappoint. The space is open, sunny and clean. The staff (one young lady, really) served with a smile and wanted to make sure we were satisfied. Her smile was infectious. You order at the counter, and she brings you the food. It was all freshly made and yummy. We stuck to a vegetarian diet this time around. So, first out was the shiraga... basically a veggie samosa... the crust was delicious, moist, flaky and not oily. The filling, mostly potatoes, peas, and onion curry, was yummy. We then ordered the 3 veggie breakfast items.. curried potatoes, dal, and mixed veggies. The potatoes were awesome, perfectly cooked and seasoned, thinly sliced red potatoes. The mixed veggies was a good simple veggie curry. I wasn't the biggest fan of the dal, it wasn't seasoned enough for my tastes; my friend loved it. I requested hot sauce, they didn't have any, but she said they had fresh chilies, and brought them out on a bed of salad (a nice touch) We also ordered the partha, naan and roti... they were all good.. nothing to write home about, but good solid bread. The milk tea was very fragrant. We also ordered the dodhi pudding (a yogurt based pudding, supposedly made with a long gourd) it was delicious, a bit sour/ salty... but still sweet. Definitely worth trying.

    Fried rice
    Nazmus S.

    Maybe I'm just being emotional because the syliti guy made my tea hot. We took Morog polaw(chicken yogurt roasted with white rice) the chicken was hell fresh seriously I repeat hell fresh! Rice had the toasted onion properly sprinkled. My female friend was real happy. I had eye problems that's why I was wearing sun glass in restaurant though the guy with glass in cashier behavior was phenomenal. The roasted chicken yogurt gravy was on the point. Sorry I was so lost in the food and service both of us forgot to take pictures. Highly recommend this place. I should have given them some cash tips. Never mind I will go there more often to cover my inconvenience. ;)

    Shami Kabab

    Really disgusting, they burned both orders of shami kabab to a crisp all the way through. I ordered delivery and was sent food that you would throw out, not serve to actual human beings. This is my own cultural food so this isn't a cultural difference - this restaurant is serving inedible burned food. Go literally anywhere else in Jackson Heights.

    New dine in/take out Indian restaurant on 37th Avenue. Took the spot of the Chinese takeout joint. They did a great job with renovations and place so far seems very clean and aesthetically pleasing. I attempted to order the Fish Curry but was disappointed to find that they were out. I went with the Chicken curry which was good but I was hoping for a little more of a portion. The rice was a dollar extra but you get a ton of it. I'm sure I will be back since it is right around the corner.

    Semi-new Bangladeshi restaurant in Jackson heights is worth a try: good food and good service. They serve more traditional items like bhortas along with staples like biryani. Everything we ordered came out timely, fresh and tasty. The restaurant is clean and spacious. Lots of good Bangladeshi food in the area but if you want to try something different, this one might worth a look.

    So the first time I came here was during Ramadan and they had renovations which might be why I wasn't impressed with the food. The last time I came here my husband and I ordered the shrimp/chicken Thai soup and I swear it was the best thing I've had since our trip to Thailand! The spicy tomato daal base with lemon grass shoots, chunks of shrimp and chicken disappeared in no time despite being family sized. Probably one of my top 5 soups ever! We also ordered a side of chicken lollipop that tasted better than the last time I came. Not super battered, crunchy, although I feel like it could use more flavor. I like to use dipping sauces as a compliment to the flavors in the chicken rather than necessary for taste. Otherwise staff is exceptional and food is great

    The worst chicken lollipop ever. The inside was very raw and uncooked. Gave my brother and I food poisoning.

    I was in Jackson Heights and craving some good halal food so my brother and I decided to go to Dhaka Garden. Don't let this place fool you with its looks. The workers have horrible service and this place gave me FOOD POISONING. We ordered the chicken fried rice and chicken lollipop and it looked somewhat appetizing but turned out to be horrible. First of all those workers don't speak much English and screwed up my order. They gave me vegetable fried rice instead of chicken fried rice. The WORST PART of this experience was the RAW CHICKEN LOLLIPOP. It gave my brother and I horrible food poisoning. I'm so done with this place. If any of you want food poisoning please go to this restaurant. Horrible food, horrible service, and overall a terrible experience. I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS PLACE.

    Fish curries
    Dewan A.

    Best Bangladeshi restaurant in Little India. It is extremely affordable. The fish curries are the best around. This place has the best ambiance for a Bangladeshi restaurant.

The Malabar chicken was calling my name because of the black pepper, and OMG it did not disappoint!!! It was SO tasty!! It's a dry chicken dish instead of the usual curry/gravy. Super flavorful, peppery, crispy, and not oily or heavy at all! It wasn't particularly spicy to me either, but layered with different aromatics, a complete flavor explosion! I was actually a little confused because I saw the Malabar chicken on Seamless but couldn't find it on ChowNow/Toast, so I wasn't even sure if it was available. I'm SO glad I got it and really hope they keep it on the menu because I would 100% order it again! I also tried the dal with green mango and the tamarind rice from the South Indian menu, and both were delicious. The tamarind rice especially has so many different flavors going on and is so good!

We happened to be dining there during a World Cup game so there was a TV on in the back (not sure if that's their usual setup).

We did not have to wait too long for the food. My chicken tandoori came out on a sizzling plate with a side of rice. The chicken was so tender, juicy, and flavorful. I ate the slices of onion on the sizzling plate with the chicken and rice. The garlic naan was nice and hot, crisp on the outside, studded with plenty of garlic, and soft and chewy on the inside. It was good for sopping up the chicken tikka masala sauce.

The first time that I came here was about 3 years ago with a few friends and we liked the food - the beef tongue was different and super memorable and the jhol momos were just swimming in flavorful curry. Made me want to come back again. Fast-forward three years later, I feel like things have changed significantly. Or maybe I didn't catch them at their best, but I came with another group of friends and I just felt overall disappointed with the food, as did my friends who were excited to try Himalayan food for the first time. I had the goat dhat bhat and the small amount of meat served in aesthetically pleasing bowls to mask the portion was disappointing--and this was not a lunch special or anything. I mainly got a big bone and realistically got about 2-3 small bites of actual meat, while there was an overwhelming amount of rice and veggies. The momos also tasted like they were pre-made and heated or steamed up again because the dough was definitely a little rough. Overall, this experience was a meh for me. I think it is a social staple for many Nepalese and Tibetans in the area, and just for that.
