    Food
    Sukhmani K.

    Second time visiting this restaurant... first time in their new space, which is now a full built out restaurant & bar. The service is amazing. Servers were pleasant & so so nice. It was such a genuine interaction! All the food was 10/10. I'm not from around here & this place will be a must visit every-time I'm in Long Island. The balance of flavors in every dish was perfect... not too spicy, not too sweet just right! My notable favorites were: Hakka Chilli Chicken Dry, Hot & Sour Soup, Hakka Noodles. Even as I'm writing this review my mouth is watering... it was just so good. I haven't had such good indo-Chinese/Hakka food ever. If you're violently craving Indo-Chinese/Hakka food... this is without a doubt the best place to visit!

    CAULIFLOWER MANCHURIAN DRY
    Cat C.

    First time here based on my friend's recommendation who has dined here several times. They offer Indian, Chinese and Thai dishes and we went with Indian. All the dishes we had were tasty. They were able to accommodate the spice level which was great. Service was friendly and efficient. There is a small parking lot in the back as well as street parking. There are several tables for seating. They have an extensive menu since they offer 3 cuisines. Give it a try!

    CHICKEN BIRYANI
    Elena Y.

    A small spot but good food. Saw a bunch of takeout orders while I was there. Really enjoyed the chicken biryani - favorite! The Hakka chicken was good too. We also got mango lassi which was delicious. Will definitely stop by again for a quick meal.

    We happened to be in the area and were looking for a highly rated restaurant and picked here. We were very happy with our choice. The Food was excellent and had so much flavor. All the dishes were really great. And we love spice, so when we asked for spicy it delivered!

    A drum of heaven!  Kaichi chicken wing
    Culture A.

    Go! especially If you want Hakka Go! It's small & 2 table takeout & nice people! Went for Hakka (not Chinese not Indian) & these were top notch 'Masala Wok' worthy excellent delicious Hakka dishes: this is not a review for those looking for Indian or Chinese dishes. I am only interested in the Hakka fusion: the Kai Chi wings are like the "Drums of Heaven!" from our long gone and sorely missed Masala Wok...:(. And the hot noodles, the coriander garlic chicken, and the hakka chili chicken done in the dry style without too much extra sauce both hardened back to the delicious flavors of Masala Wok. Hope the quality of food stays high. (It's a small take out so service & atmosphere don't apply but it's a nice clean place).

    Veg Samosas 2pcs/$4.99

    I don't get the 5 star reviews. Maybe it was what we ordered, but we were extremely underwhelmed with the food. Flavors were very very very mild, to the point of almost bland. There was absolutely no depth of flavor. We also ordered "medium spicy" and were warned that their medium is actually "very" spicy, which we were fine with. What we actually got was beyond mild; it was more like not spicy at all! The 5 Star ratings were what drew us to this restaurant but after this visit, I don't see a return visit. Our menu tonight: -- Veg Samosas (2/$4.99): these were on the small side and just ok; ironically, probably the best item we had this evening! SMH -- Chicken Korma ($15.99): I've never had Korma like this before. No flavor, no depth, no spice. -- Hakka Chilli Shrimp ($19.99): this dish was better than the Chix Korma, but still just ok. Shrimp was good but it had a thick batter. -- Basmati Rice: complimentary with each entree. -- Masala Chai Tea ($3): ok Warning: The restaurant is lacking of heat, so be prepared to dine-in with your coat on. What little heat there was, went right out of the front door with every customer who entered or exited.

    Definitely not what I expected. I'm more of a traditionalist when it comes to food. The papaya salad and garlic naan were excellent. The shrimp red curry was tasty. Chicken Biryani was my least favorite, didn't have much flavor except for the spicyness. The chicken was a bit dry and I didn't like the apricot seeds in my rice.

    Extra spicy for the deep fried red snapper
    Cher Y.

    Finally I made it to Kunga Kitchen after I bookmarked it a long while ago. I placed order through Uber Eats for pickup. Service:4 stars. The boss lady called on what type of fish I preferred and on my special request on spicy level (they put Prompt fish on Uber Eats menu rather than Red Snapper on the regular menu. Only medium spicy or mild as option on the Uber Eats menu). They owner lady was very humble. I picked up my order per scheduled. Beautiful! The fish: 4 stars. The huge PLUS for me were absolute freshness, not heavily coded, lightly fried, not salty, little sugar added (used sweet onion and bean paste in the sauce, and garlicky but not over powering. Also bean pasted used in the sauce which gave it extra flavor and texture. The only thing I would ask next time may be less starch in the sauce. The fish was small. And there were no broccolis with takeouts?! I saw others photos had broccolis. I wish had some in mine too. The restaurant was very tidy. For a severe OCD like me that was one Michelin Star. Lol! Over all, it was a positive experience.

    Onion Kulcha
    Scott S.

    Wow I really enjoyed my experience here. This is a whole in the wall kind of place with a lot of take out business but we ate inside. We shared the onion kulcha and garlic naan. We agreed the onion kulcha was superb here if you only could get one. I had the chicken Manchurian since I never tried it before. Wow it's so flavorful and cooked to perfection, the aroma before the food it the table was Devine. If you have the chance to dine here don't sleep on this place . Service was attentive and personable. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves

    CHILLI FISH DRY
    Tashi N.

    Wow, food and service was great. Thank you so much Kunga restaurant. I will visit again. My new fav spot in area. Space is small and cozy . Definitely worth trying their chilly fish dry.

    CHILLI PANEER DRY
    Rahul B.

    We have come here a few times. Twice as a party of 5; 2 kids age 8. Once as a party of 7; 2 kids age 8 and a toddler. Each time we have been met with nothing short of a fantastic dinning experience. The ambiance here is nice, and the service is top notch. What really shines here is the food. The first time we went full fusion, fried rice, papaya salad, vegetable dumplings, noodles, Manchurian. It was fantastic we wanted to come back to try the Indian section of the menu. Typically we expect fusion places to be only decent at Indian food because they have such a wide menu. We were pleasantly surprised at how phenomenal the Indian food here tasted. I can whole heartedly recommend the Palak Paneer and the Paneer tikka masala to anyone even the most voracious carnivore. They were beyond any of our expectations. We were so in shock we went back again with a huge party just to try it again. Honestly we have found a go-to place in NY. Which is great for us!

    This place looks like it's locally family owned (may not be). I love the location and the indo/thai cuisine mix. Food is always delicious when we do take out from here, the staff is also very kind. And big plus for left overs the next day as pictured :) their chili chicken and hot and sour soup is my favorite. The cauliflower manchurian is also delicious.

    Listen to me. Listen to this advice: Never, ever...ever! ask at an authentic asian restaurant to make your food extra spicy x2+. Unless you think you can tolerate it! I have happened to have walked in on their first day and ordered their Chicken Pad Thai...extra, extra, extra spicy. Although my mouth and stomach was on fire, I enjoyed every single bite! Everything was full of flavor and my food was absolutely delicious! Their service is amazing. I spoke with the manager briefly to find that he is a very pleasant man! Everyone is very friendly here. I always look at the cleanliness of a restaurant before ordering and they passed my test! You need to find parking on the street but I was fortunate enough to find it right in front. They're located in the former Kurrikitch location. I'm sure they're going to work on removing that sign soon. Will I be going back to try other menu items? You bet I will! Kunga Kitchen, you've gained a new regular customer!

    The food and service was great, particularly loved the chicken sekuwa (very flavorful, tender and…read moreexcellently grilled), the Kathmandu Poppers (what a fun experience, similar to a samosa filling), and that sauce on those wings--sweet, tangy and entirely satisfying. Would recommend and definitely plan to return.

    I'm a big fan of the WHILE IN KATHMANDU in Ridgewood, Queens, but have only been there once because…read moreparking is horrendous in that area. I was so happy to hear that they opened another restaurant in Glen Cove! Plenty of street parking is available, and they even have a shared parking lot in back of the restaurant! I parked in the back, and entered the restaurant via the backdoor! Note that there are stairs at the back entrance, so if you can't do stairs, it's best to park in front of the restaurant. This Glen Cove locations is lovely; beautiful murals and great vibes. I was shocked and sad to see it so empty on a Saturday evening! I hope more people give this place a chance because the food and service is great! This was our Shared Menu (plenty for 2ppl, and we had leftovers): -- Water Buffalo Momos w.Chili Sauce (8pcs/$18): the Momos were tasty; the meat was very lean. I would skip the Chili sauce next time. I didn't like the sweet and sour taste of the sauce, so next time I'd like to try the steamed Momos with Johl sauce instead. -- Choila Roti "Not a Taco" with Jackfruit (2pcs/$12): Not a Taco but similar to a taco. This was delicious and I'd get this again. We choice the Jackfruit version but they also have a chicken version. -- Masala Wings (Sauteed wet version) (4pcs/$11): I remember really liking the wings when I was at the Ridgewood location but couldn't recall which wings we had. On this visit, we had the wet version which was good but I realized that I like their dry version better. -- Grilled Lamb Chops w.Timur Sauce, Veggies & white rice (2pcs/$25): Surprisingly, this was my least fave dish of the night. I normally love lamb chops but these chops didn't really have a nice seared taste to them. The texture was a little off for me. Also, it was very boney with not much meat. I would try another entree next time. All in all, a good meal! I found the large selection of appetizers more interesting than the entrees, and would have been happy just sharing a bunch of appetizers and small plates. Customer service was welcoming and friendly! It was a pleasure to chat with the owner. Nice addition to the neighborhood!

    My only complaint? My stomach has a limit…read more My family and I have been coming to Diwan for years, and this is hands down our go-to spot for Indian all-you-can-eat. I used to frequent the Indian buffets in Jackson Heights, and honestly, Diwan is just as good, if not better! One thing I really appreciate is that they have their own parking lot, the dining room is spacious, and as a parent, I was thrilled to see they have baby high chairs. Those little details make a big difference. We stopped by for their weekday AYCE special at just $15 per adult, which is an incredible value! My plate always ends up looking the same because I can't resist the chicken biryani, palak paneer, and that rich, creamy butter chicken. Oh, and they mostly use chicken thighs! So tender and moist! I keep telling myself I'll try something different... then I walk back with the exact same favorites. No regrets. We also ordered the mango lassi, and it was fantastic! Just a little tip: it comes with ice by default, so if you prefer it without ice, just let them know when ordering. The food quality has been consistently excellent every time we've visited, and the service has always been warm and attentive. Another thing I enjoy is how peaceful the dining room is. It's not loud or chaotic. Everyone seems completely focused on the important business of enjoying their food. A couple of helpful tips: the buffet is dine-in only, so you can't pack up buffet food to take home. If you're ordering takeout, you'll need to order from the regular menu instead. They also offer children's pricing for the buffet, so if you're unsure about the details, just give them a quick call. If you're craving great Indian food without emptying your wallet, Diwan continues to be one of my favorite AYCE spots. Highly recommended!

    What a rare and beautifully hidden gem of a spot off the GCP. It was close to our gym and after a…read moregood workout comes the reward and it's an AYCE Indian buffet. Fresh puri and plenty of sauces, fresh rice and a very nice spread of Indian favorites. I really enjoyed everything they had to offer and especially the vegetarian options such as dhal and paneer. Great service and the only caveat is that any naan is purchased separately as it's not included in the ayce price. You can also just order fresh plates of any combination off their à la carte menu. We opted for the lunch buffet and were very satisfied and both price point and quality were excellent. The restaurant itself is nice with great ambiance and plenty of seating. There's also plenty of beverage options. We've been back twice already and anticipate many more visits.
