    Heard a lot about Khalil Biryani House and thought to check it out. Let's just say I will not be going back. Nobody was wearing a mask or gloves. People at the counter was touching everything and then touching the food. We went there to order biryani, but just ended up ordering just tea, which was ok. The staffs there are not the friendliest. There are so many restaurants on Starling Ave, that I will not be coming back to this one.

    Falooda- it was pretty okay

    I have been here before and Im not sure why this time it took such a long time for the waiter to come to us. I had to wave him over twice and it wasnt a great experience. The restaurant was also not packed at the time because it was a Monday evening. In terms of food, I wouldn't say this is anything great. We tried to eat more of the halal Chinese option so we had Thai soup, with chicken and shrimp, shrimp fried rice, and shrimp curry, lollipop chicken with gravy and for dessert, falooda. Unfortunately I did not get to take pictures of the food as we were very hungry since we had to wait for a while. I will say though if you need something halal and are fine with okays food, go here, otherwise there are alot more places for halal authentic food I would recommend.

    I've been on the HUNT for a good Indian restaurant in my neighborhood and I have finally found it! My dad was in the mood to order some Indian food and we decided to try this place out for delivery and I'm so glad we did. Not only was the food neatly and thoughtfully packed but the aroma brought into our home was so delightful...hahaha is that weird? Nevertheless, the food was so fresh, clean and delicious. My tastebuds have finally grown to appreciate spicy food and the chicken tikka Masala from here definitely has a kick...my parents ordered two of these for their dinner and I dipped my paratha into the sauce and my gosh, so good. Attached you'll see our massive order of two chicken tikka Masala entrees, one veggie samosa, four naan breads, two chicken patties, one veggie patty, one fried chicken piece, Chana masala, vegetable biryani and paratha. First time trying paratha and I love it..I've had my fair share of roti and naan and this bread lover was so glad to find yet another tasty carb but the naan was also fresh and great. I think my favorite thing was the vegetable patty and the samosa...the patty was just so perfectly flaky and the samosa was filled with potato/veggies and a good amount of mild spices. The serving sizes are great portions, we had so much left over. And there's so many great vegetarian options. I also enjoyed the Chana masala with the vegetable biryani...can't wait to try the shrimp biryani next! Found my go-to Indian food spot! Now it's time to hibernate.

    So I work approximately 10 mins from this Bengali restaurant. I ordered through the Yelp app…read more I had high hopes while ordering from here. A few Bengali co-workers had mentioned this place . I ordered the chicken Biryani, butter chicken, some naan, an Okra dish 4 wifey and finally some veggie loaded samosa's with huge pieces of potato and it was very greasy - cause the brown bag it was in the as soaked all over with oil! As I was walking back to the car, I at two samosas. I was particularly hungry and they tasted good. When. I arrived home I had shared the Biryani, one piece of buttered chicken & the naan with the life partner. Even while I was eating this food, I was thinking, something is not exactly right about the way this food is going down. It didn't taste fresh. The meat in particular. I found out why. Later that night I woke up at 5 am with very loose stool and I'm fouling up the bthroom! It's Not worth it. I wouldn't order again from here. I'd recommend TANDOOR PLACE just ONE half block near to this place on - 2146 STARLING AVE, if I were to get hungry for soma good Bengali dishes. TANDOORI PLACE IS a bit more expensive but the quality of the food was better and I had no gastrointestinal complaints later on. And one more thing. If you look at the picture I took this place has an A rating. Which rates restaurants based on how well they follow food safety regulations. This rating confounds me. It should be more like C rated. Happy hunting Yelpers!!

I placed an online catering order and followed up with an email, but never received a response. Following initial contact with the restaurant via landline, I was assured that they had indeed verified and received the order. Furthermore, they confirmed both the date and the scheduled pick-up time. However, when I arrived on the pick up date, the staff didn't know anything about the order. They scrambled to make it last minute, and the food was terrible. I regret to inform that the rice was rather bland, dry, and overcooked. Furthermore, the kebabs seemed dry and stale, as if they had been reheated. I have to mention that the number of kebabs I received was less than what I had ordered, by three. It was quite disappointing to serve this to my guests. The owner/ management team seems more focused on money than customer satisfaction. Their customer service is horrible, and there's no accountability. I noticed that while the owner or management team may respond to reviews, there appears to be a lack of improvement in the customer experience or resolution of reported issues.They didn't offer any solutions or compensation, and the staff member was only polite to me because they knew it was their fault. They also wouldn't let me speak to the owner or management team. So, for anyone placing a catering order, be very careful and stay on top of them, constantly reminding them, because they don't take customers seriously.

Nonetheless, we walked in and there are tables and chairs and the hot foods are displayed behind glass. We got a goat curry large for $16 with a large plate of white rice which was $1. The goat curry was pretty good and hit the spice profile with it not too spicy. The curry had a good portion of meat and not all bones which was great. We really enjoyed this dish. We also got a small okra for $4 and that too was really tasty and not runny. My son got the chicken briyani for $10 and while it looked so good behind the glass, the taste was just average as the texture is a bit off. The staff asked if we wanted heated up our foods as he said it was just room temperature. Surprised it wouldn't be kept hot in the first place but anyway we said yes and he microwaved for a few which I'm glad we made that choice. Also got a mango lassi drink and we got some Indian sweet treats which he gave to us on the house so that was nice. All in all, it exceeded our initial expectation and would give this place high 3 stars.

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.

Sour with a bit of spice, but not in the same way as adding Tajin. Queens never disappoints when it comes to diverse cuisine!

Khashir (Goat) Biryani 11. Tuna Kebab 12. Mishti Doi (sweet yogurt) Aya's take: I'm going to try to put into words what an incredible dining experience the Dawat Dinner is at Korai Kitchen. Run by a mom & daughter duo, Amma & Nur-E are truly so down-to-earth, full of positivity, and their energy is luminous. Amma is genuinely passionate about her craft and unbelievably humble! We arrived 10 minutes before 8pm and were greeted by Nur-E who literally shook our hands and welcomed us with open arms. The restaurant seats ~18 people so you can imagine how intimate, curated, and deeply rooted in tradition this dinner felt. Amma is from Dhaka, Bangladesh and with every course that came out, Nur-E described it to us in her expert storytelling ways! Everything we had was incredible. The Mango Lassi is blended by hand for that perfect consistency and refreshing, lightly sweet, homemade taste! After 5 whole courses came out, Nour-E came out and told us we had 7 more to go! So definitely come hungry and know you will leave beyond satisfied. My favorites were the Lau Chingri (Shrimp & Bottle Gourd Squash), the Rohu Fish Fried, the Murgir (Chicken) Roast & Palao, Beef Curry (Gorur Gostho) and Khashir (Goat) Biryani. Basically everything we had!! Each dish was balanced in depth, richness, and heat. The meats & fish were so tender, the rices were unbelievably fragrant, and the sauces were aromatic and layered rather than just spicy. The Rohu Fish Fried is imported from Bangladesh and lightly coated in spices and pan-fried until golden brown. This was my first time having this fish and it won't be my last! The Murgir (Chicken) Roast & Palao will live rent free in my head for a long time. It's richly caramelized, light yet aromatic, and deliciously comforting. I can see why this is usually a celebratory dish and is the only dish that Amma will serve at every Dawat Dinner! This dish is so popular that you can now find the recipe on Food & Wine. Speaking of accomplishments, the Lau Chingri (Shrimp & Bottle Gourd Squash) was named one of The New York Times' Best Dishes of 2025. We were also so lucky that Amma made her Mishti Doi for dessert! It's a sweet yogurt that has a custard-like creaminess and was the perfect way to end the meal after all those incredible flavors. We were so grateful to get a special one in a traditional clay pot. Also, there's tons of food but the staff will package any leftovers for you to take with you! They've literally thought of everything to make this an exceptional experience. Nur-E closed our dinner saying "food is life's greatest connector" and I couldn't agree more! Amma is truly an inspiration for opening Korai Kitchen at 61 years old, becoming a James Beard Nominee at 67 and getting 3 Stars from New York Times, and now signing her first cook book deal at 69. This is definitely in my top 10 meals of 2026 and is one of the most memorable meals I've ever had. I can't recommend Korai Kitchen enough.

    Food, service and ambiance are all 5 stars! The food is courtesy of mom Nure. The service is…read morecourtesy of an exceptional staff. The ambiance is largely due to daughter Nure whose incredible passion and enthusiasm throughout the night in describing Bengali culture, history and food was incredible! Mom and daughter combine to create an unforgettable dining experience that for me is unmatched and never to be forgotten. They are such gracious hosts and make everyone feel like family. As delicious as the food is, be prepared to take a lot home. You enter Korai Kitchen hungry, curious and with great anticipation. You leave full, satisfied and part of the family! Sorry for the lack of pics. I just went in as soon as the dishes started arriving, eager to savor the meal rather than to record it. My advice: Just go! Its a culinary adventure!
