We always go for the chicken roast, kebabs, chicken samosas, biryanis, chicken lollipops and bhartas (veg mashed). Their chai is one of the best, perfectly paired with either a vegetable or chicken samosa or roll. They're a family run business. The dishes and menu boards, are clearly displayed. Yes I'm biased, as we've been their loyal customers since their early days, but legitimately they are one of the best in all of NYC for authentic Bangladeshi food.

I'm from Silicon Valley and we're swimming in Indian restaurants from every region. We initially came in for a quick bite before dinner plans in the area. I got a chicken lollipop and samosa and was surprised by how much flavor it had. My expectations were low since they said they didn't have any chutney to come with the samosa and offered ketchup instead. However it definitely didn't need it and had so much flavor and moisture on its own. As we were munching on our two small items, we were consumed by the smell of the other dishes they had. We left to dinner at the other restaurant and were completely stuffed, but I HAD to swing back to this restaurant to get some of their curries togo. I got one of the fish curries which had some pickled vegetables and one of the goat curries. I've never had this much depth in a fish or goat curry before and it beat out any I've had before. I was literally sucking as much of the gravy as I could from the bones when I got back because I knew I wouldn't be able to have this level of depth and flavor in a curry when I get back to California. The service was so friendly. They were smiling and chatting with us while we ordered and were attentive in the beginning even though we got two small items for like 5 bucks. I'm definitely making my way back to Astoria to have this again.

I was excited to find a new Bangladeshi place and everything ordered was great the first time.

Gave them another chance but same problems -- three items were either spoiled or too greasy/not edible. Not sure I understand this business model of serving spoiled food to ensure customers never come back? It's too bad, I had high hopes.

Just two stops on the F-Train from 62nd/Lexington to 21st Queensbridge station is a HIDDEN GEM of East-Asian cuisine! A new Bangladeshi restaurant, DHAKAYA, opened in July in Queens near the corner of 21st and 40th Avenue. It's a charming, family-owned place where the owners genuinely care about the quality of their ingredients. Luckily, I work nearby, so I get to eat here on a regular basis. The food is fresh, aromatic, and downright tantalizing. They offer daily specials as well as an a-la-carte menu. I highly recommend trying the daily specials that are made fresh and hot each day and presented in their inviting display case. Their culinary talent truly shines in the bold, spicy blends they create. Here are a few examples of what I've tried there: Singara: These are similar to the better-known Indian Samosas, but here they are stuffed with a delectable mix of potatoes, cauliflower, vegetables, and exotic Bangladeshi spices. They are served piping hot, with a golden-crispy crust, and the savory ingredients burst with mouthwatering flavor. Garlic Naan: A beloved favorite with a unique twist, they bake these thin and crispy while slathering them in generous amounts of rich garlic butter. Goat Rezala: I have never had such tender, succulent goat in all my wanderings. This dish is a sublime mix of melt-in-your-mouth meat bathed in a flavorful REZALA (similar to curry) made with creamy yogurt, cashew, and poppy seed paste. This results in a rich, deeply satisfying taste with subtle notes of cardamom and nutmeg. Eggplant Puree: This was an unexpected delight served as a side dish. What a burst of flavor! The smoky taste of the pureed eggplant, infused with a medley of spices and garlic, created a creamy, smoky blend of absolute heaven. Stingray: It's incredibly rare to find this dish, and if you like seafood, you'll be overjoyed. This fish has a unique texture somewhere between tilapia and squid. Unlike regular fish, stingrays have no bones; their skeleton is made from cartilage, so most of the "bones" in the dish are crunchy and edible. The tender meat is bathed in a spicy, savory curry and served with aromatic basmati rice. Pulao: Obviously prepared with great care, this fragrant basmati rice is infused with aromatic whole spices, herbs, and a rich stock. They serve it with roast chicken or Goat Rezala. The food here is absolutely incredible! The owners are down-to-earth people who want to introduce the broad and flavorful tastes of Bangladesh. They have truly mastered the art of using multiple spices to magical effect. They create higher amplitudes of sweet, savory, spicy, aromatic masterpieces that you would expect in fine-dining establishments, but instead, they welcome all people to their humble restaurant in this little-explored corner of Queens -- a true hidden gem that all foodies dream of discovering as they wander. Absolutely delicious!

I discovered that a Bangladesh street food called fushka is very popular, so decided to try for my first time. Tong is highly rated and their menu is simple. I ordered the Doi Fuchka ($7), which comes as crispy, hollow puri shells stuffed with a savory mashed potato and chickpea mixture. The difference in the doi is that it is topped with a yogurt to balance the spice for a creamier texture. I liked this a lot, especially with the tamarind sauce too (though this got a bit messy). This is nothing like I've ever tasted with so many different textures going on. It hits you with spicy, sweet, savory, crunchy, creamy, chewy and everything all at once. It comes with 8 pieces, which is perfect to share with 2-3 people. Definitely something to check out!

The fuchka was the main event; I liked the original a bit more than the yogurt variety (doi fuchka); the latter was sweet and a little more creamy, while the original had a nice spice and crisp that stood out. Chotpoti was excellent, every bite was a medley of flavor. The mango dish was very interesting; not my favorite, but definitely a very unique take on mango. Sour with a bit of spice, but not in the same way as adding Tajin. Queens never disappoints when it comes to diverse cuisine!

And it was the great balance. Truly top notch curry for a lunch special. I was absolutely full, happy, and satisfied by the time my lunch break was over. Will certainly come back if im in the area.

Four stars because it was serviceable and I know it ~can~ be good, but hoping it improves!

When you're the only person who looks like you in the place and you're surrounded by brown people speaking other languages, you've likely found an authentic place with great food. Ittadi was definitely that place. They have a huge buffet of food, TONS of options, but you can also tell the food is fresh. And the place was so busy that you know the food didn't sit long and was refreshed often. We tried the coconut samosa, which was large in size. It was the perfect combo of savory and sweet. We also had the egg chop, which is a hard boiled egg covered in spicy mashed potatoes and fried in a crispy breadcrumb coating. It was super spicy (in a good way) and delish. It came with a side of onions and greenery. We also had the haleem, which is a comfort dish, made of lentils. It was so warm and filling. Absolutely delicious. The employees/owners were so kind. They were really invested in us liking our food. When we didn't eat everything, they were concerned, but we told them we were on a food crawl and had to save space, otherwise we would have devoured everything. Again, this was my favorite place of the whole crawl, and I would make the trek back over to Queens just for this food.

I often eat shingara, samosa, chicken patties, and piyaju from this restaurant. My family and I…read morelove eating them, and we've never had any complaints for the taste or quality. We did receive rotten sauce one time, but never again. During Ramadan, I was really craving an Iftar box meal. My dad bought me one from this place, and it came with biryani, fritters, and fruits. I was honestly scared to try the biryani because I usually dislike the ones outside because they smell, have too much oil, or just straight up taste bad. But honestly, the biryani was so good... I was really surprised, and definitely proven wrong. I would get it again! I did find one of the fritters in the Iftar box to be mid, but I cannot remember which one as it isn't something I have ordered often. My main reasons for giving this restaurant 4 stars is because I agree with one of the other reviews that mention the ambiance not being so good. I don't think this is somewhere you could sit down and have a meal in quiet without getting overstimulated as it is next to the train station on Diversity Plaza, where a lot of people just hang out. This is one of the to-go places where people often get tea or snacks from, so you'll see people going in and out A LOT. As for service, I'm not sure what to say because it's always been my dad who ordered and dealt with the staff, so I can't say much. But he usually tells us if any restaurant staff makes him mad, so as far as I recall, he never complained about the service. Also, I have never tried the main course food items, such as pulao and roast. So I cannot comment on how those taste, but reading the other views, it seems they weren't too good. And I'm seeing that people had complaints about cleanliness of the restaurant and how there is a lack of proper plumbing systems. I guess I never noticed this because I never actually sat in the restaurant.. Maybe I should eat from here less often?
