    This review is for Fan #110. This was my first guided experience with Bangladeshi food. My ambassador held a program here, showing us his Best Bangladeshi and Bangladeshi-Chinese restaurant in New York City. Lots of fish are served here, as the culture is heavily influenced by waterways throughout the country. It's different from Indian because most people from Bangladesh are Muslim, therefore have no problem eating beef and other meats (no pork). This is a special restaurant though. The kebabs are pretty ridiculous, showing up as gnarly looking things potentially scorching your insides. I loved the chicken samosas - these curried things had sooo much flavor. You'll find lots of vegetable dishes because fruits have a hard time growing in the terrain - that's okay, because as something I don't normally eat, I was a big fan of all the mixed vegetable dishes. I learned about a dessert here called Ghorer Sandesh. It's extremely rare, nearly like a fudge of the south (Asia). It's not too sweet like many indian sweets, and makes me feel like I'm in one of those touristy sweet shops in Pennsylvania, "How quaint." The steam table selection numbers around 16 options, and there's plenty of room. You'll know this place from the bicycled rickshaw in front. I never was blown away by Spicy Mina, I dig it here. Must go back for more fish.

    giant river prawn curry, mashed dried fish (shutki bhorta) and mashed smoked egg plant (begun bhorta), chicken biryani
    Harry C.

    I had the Gawlda Chingri (giant river prawns aka Macrobrachium rosenbergi) , Shutki Bhorta (mashed dried fish), Begun Bhorta (smoked mashed egg plant) and Chicken Biryani (curry chicken fried rice :) ) . The river prawn was fabulous, large claws, head and all :). The Shutki and Begun were good. The Chicken Biryani was average. The side complimentary salad was below average. I picked this over other places because it had the prawn the bhorta and was relatively clean and empty. The staff was friendly and helpful. The prawn was a tad expensive, but worth it :) There is convenient sink with warm water to wash hands after the messy claw eating.

    The restaurant environment.

    The place is nasty. Do not eat here. The food isn't clean. It took very long to get service and the tables were nasty. They had other people's food left on the table and the waiter told us to sit there before they cleaned up. Also when we got the food the food was frozen cold. When we received the bill they charged us for things that we never ordered. We ordered a naan but we never received it either.

    They're trying to tell me this is sesame chicken! Where is the sesame! This is 100% Szechwan chicken. I threw it away.

    We did a Queens food crawl of five restaurants and this was one of them. In fact, it was probably…read moremy favorite one. 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?

We initially tried a more "popular" restaurant but unfortunately there was no seating left. We tried to scramble and find another restaurant and found Dhaka Garden. For the iftar special you can select one of their premade boxes with channa, some fried vegetables (eggplant and cauliflower), a date, biryani, some pakoras and a jelabi. You can also select a la crate items from their buffet menu like kebabs, tandoor chicken etc. We ordered some naan, kebabs, haleem, and mango lassi. We loved the kebabs, naan and pakoras. We couldn't finish everything so we ended up taking most of it home. The service here was great throughout from everyone there especially as they were fasting as well. They always made sure we had everything from utensils and fresh toppings for the haleem. I would definitely come back here to support this business!

So this time one of my friend took me there saying they renovated the place. So I decided to give it a try, like always place is very busy. But it did look much better & cleaner. It's an authentic Bangladeshi restaurant, also share the space with a Tibet restaurant on the corner! Food is 100% halal & service is always great. I love their sweets too. We tried traditional Bangladeshi polau, beef bhuna( curry), chicken shikh kabab. Curry was pretty good but too sweet for my test. The beef curry reminded me of wedding food. I definitely wished the curry was spicy tho! While I was eating my food I saw they put coriander leaves on beef tehary, never in my widest dream I thought I would seen something like this! Improvising is one thing but ruining your own traditional food this way is just not except-able ! I was very upset..! I have always loved their food & hope this review reach the owners & they listen what I have to say. Thank you for everything, can't wait to come back .

Overall everything was 100/10 I will definitely come back and is open minded to try more food off the menu. Dominic was absolutely amazing 1000/10, I believe he knew it was my first time he was very patient with my girlfriend and myself. With an amazing smile and was just happy to help. He helped me pronounce the food items I couldn't get correct. Overall he gave me choices and options that were great that I really enjoyed. I don't remember the bartender names but he was great as well. His drinks were perfectly blended I felt like I was on vacation on a beach having them. But when I come back I definitely want to choose them! Ambiance was LUXURIOUS. Very clean, utensils were very clean as if it the a grand opening. I love the aesthetics and the color coordination and to the plates and silverware. Overall I recommend anyone especially if it's your first time. The people hear are amazing food is even better. 100/10 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    Unfortunately, this was not a great experience... However, I'm going to touch base on both the good…read moreand the bad, although at this point I do NOT plan to return here. Pros: seated quickly, ambiance was lovely, appetizers came out quickly, the Lasuni Gobi was delicious. CONS: My husband and I waited 40+ minutes for our main dishes (dal + rice and the Paneer Tikka dish) to arrive....... And we watched the people who were seated AFTER us receive their MEAT dishes before we got our ours and we most definitely ordered first. We asked our server MORE THAN ONCE what was taking so long and we got the same answer each time "I've told the kitchen to hurry, it'll be out soon" To make matters worse, the person who brought us our dishes (maybe the chef? Maybe the manager?) brought them without the naan that we ordered. When I asked, "where's our naan?" He had the audacity to rudely say "it'll be out in a few minutes", as if we hadn't already been waiting 40+ minutes for vegetarian food that I could've whipped up myself in 20 minutes. His attitude towards us was so unacceptable considering the circumstances. We have absolutely no idea what happened or why it took so long for our simple dishes to arrive. It's especially perplexing considering that the people who came in AFTER us got their meat dishes first. The server apologized and decided to bring us some kulfi (ice cream) to try to make up for it, but we try to avoid eating sugar so that was useless. I felt bad for the server because it wasn't his fault that our food took a ridiculous amount of time to make it to our table, and it's not cool that a manager never stepped in to try to reconcile. As someone who waited tables for 8+ years, I was shocked at the lack of support this server received from his management team. The dal and paneer tikka dishes were average tasting at best (and overpriced), making another trip here completely unfathomable, most especially considering how we were treated. Note to management: do better. Support your staff and step in to reconcile with unhappy guests if this happens again.
