I visited Little Dhaka around 1:00 p.m. and tried the combo meals, including dry-fish chutney, beef shami kebab, and shrimp curry. I also tried the chicken biryani made with basmati rice. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I really enjoyed the authentic taste and variety of dishes. I'll definitely visit again! read more

I guess I didn't learn from my previous experience at this place. I had lunch there and started having stomach issues within an hour. I had Ocra Bhaji, Ruhi fish and dal. I have noticed that dal had no salt and that would not make your stomach upset. I think it was the fish that has made me to go to the the bathroom every half hour or so. I am still going to the bathroom even thou it has been almost 8 hours. I hope you change your business strategy and not keep expired food which would make people sick. I did not learn my lesson before but I definitely did this time. read more

Solid 3 star, no nonsense, hole in the wall type deal. Never gonna know if it's good or will give you food poisoning but $10 for a whole meal might entice you to take your chances. Food was good, especially the Rohu Curry. As this is a grocery store and food place combined in one, it was a bit confusing to order the food but I just went straight to the cashier and told them my picks and the guy promptly served me up. I would definitely go again. read more

While I was standing at the counter waiting for assistance, the staff ignored me and continued walking around instead of helping. There was no hospitality, no basic manners, and I felt completely unwelcome. This is not the first time I've experienced this at this location. Based on how I was treated, I felt discriminated against because of my appearance. I left feeling that the service was disrespectful and unprofessional. Management should ensure every customer is treated with respect and dignity. read more

The customer service is good. The employees are very welcoming. The food is ok. The prices are fair. It's a small hole in the wall place. It could improve. People outside smoke at the tables and the place fills up with cigarette smoke. There is a store within the restaurant, which is nice, but cluttered. Lots of Bangladeshi foods to choose from. Parking is ample. It's within a mini shopping center. We are glad to have tried this place, but it will not be a regular destination. read more

Little Dhaka - Lunch specials with added beverages - Indian Near Me - Artesia, California

We had a quick stop over at this place and end up buying some items. The store is big...the grocery and dining areas are separate, which I really liked. We tried (brought to our hotel room) their goat biriyani, daal puri, chaa (milk tea) and 3 different sweets. Everything was delicious. Was also impressed with how all the items on the shelves were so neatly organized. The staff were friendly and helpful. Will go back to try other items. read more

Always great taste south east Asian food. Gotta try their food. Friendly people. Of course not some fancy restaurant but if you like authentic Bangladeshi food then this must be the place to visit in OC. read more

I put the full court press on Bangladesh https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=hnAr60LhgavwgWYf1_2vLA&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Formerly Mehfil many moons ago, Little Dhaka is a Bangladeshi/Bengali market & restaurant. The restaurant section is currently undergoing renovations, so "pardon the mess". Looking forward to scratching off another ethnic cuisine to try, I stopped by Little Dhaka for some pre-gym sustenance. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ycoCijtoRqy4aZVSgcI4gQ&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=kBoiOf6dVUFVaf-EchXzew&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA The market has prepared food in chafing trays. The offerings mainly consisted of curry dishes. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=9-StXDg67u-USPz6n_vUKA&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA 2-item combo (masala chai included)- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ZQ5A2gS7ZIkuRGNl1eK-OQ&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Rohu kalia- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=D9ApIkA9G8X5oMx2IZjbiA&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA I've read Bangladeshi cuisine is known for their fish dishes, so I knew I had to have the rohu kalia. Reminding me a bit of escabeche, rohu kalia is made with carp. The firm, white fleshed fish is fried & cooked in a simmer sauce. I enjoyed this entree, having some heat to it. Goat curry- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=vfGGo7lghm_lNvM3bsSKZw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA The winner for me. With heat that caused my head to sweat profusely, w/o burning out my palate, the goat curry wasn't overcooked. Being a lean meat, it often is when prepared, incorrectly. The meaty portion had enough fat, the savory sauce heavily spiced & hearty. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=AA-PMwLJm2OF9JQpAYPU7g&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Service was fine. I paid for my food, which was quickly spooned onto the styrofoam plates, and I was promptly chowing down. Little Dhaka is located at the Artesia Towne Center, north of Jack in the Box. While the portions could've been more generous, I did enjoy my quick hot plate at Little Dhaka. For $10+, I had a satisfying meal of Bangladeshi/Bengali fare. The goat curry was the highlight for me, and I just might make Little Dhaka a regular stop for when I have designs for a meal to eat. read more

This was my first time trying Bengali food and it did not disappoint! We tried the beef curry and licked our plates clean.

The food is consistently excellent, with every visit delivering fresh flavors. This restaurant never disappoints -- the quality of the dishes is always outstanding. read more

Not a good experience with the food, sadly. Had purchased food from the buffet with great anticipation of having Bangladeshi food after a long time but it was pretty disappointing, I'm sorry to say. read more

I order 8 items online for delivery. At eta, pick up delivery driver called from inside restaurant to inform me that my order was incomplete & missing 3 items. Restaurant NEVER called. Driver was nice enough to inform me. Food was delivered missing those 3 items. They still have not adjust my receipt for the difference/minus those 3 items. Food was very GREASY! read more

A variety of stuff is available here since its a combination of groceries and their cooked food and authentic snacks. Food is delicious which includes vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The place seems a bit untidy and gets crowded, however, and a little bit of everything can be found here. Adding an additional check out counter will help. read more

This was my first time there and it did not disappoint. I had the goat curry and the chicken briyani. The goat was a little spicy, but I like spicy. It was my 2 year old that said it was spicy but yummy. She LOVED the chicken briyani. They didn't skimp on the portions. I have to thank my neighbor for the recommendation. I will definitely be back! read more

My daughter is half bengali so she craves the food at times. TBH i hesitate to come here. The registar person is either inexperienced or just a plain snob. The atomphere gives a strange vibe, not a welcoming place, but if that doesnt matter then ok ! Plus they serve the meat with too much fat on it, sauce is good but overall the food is great read more

LIttle Dhaka is a no-frills Bangladeshi grocery store and restaurant. They have 8-10 items ready made items available for you to choose and eat or take out. It includes vegetarian, fish and meat (chicken, beef and goat) options. I have tried many of the items and all of them have been delicious. read more

I was visiting yesterday from northern Ca. I have been in USA for over 20 years and never had so authentic Bangladeshi food before. Polau and biriani was fresh, porota was ready to order. Really good chef. Reminds me of bea bari food in Dhaka. It's a small grocery/ dining but on weekend food was great. I even carried some in flight over to NorCal. Hope to be back again! read more

So, this is not the cleanest or fanciest restaurant. It is rather unclean. It is a grocery store and a deli and a cantina and a social hangout place for bengalis. Sweets are ok, they dont make dudh chai like they used to make back in the days. You can find better biriyani in LA. But if you are a fish lover, they have probably 20+ different kind of fish. For me, rui kalia is a luxury, like a good rib-eye. When I get this huge piece of rui pety, i almost get into nirvana. I sit down on my couch, distance myself from surrounding and enjoy this piece to the bone. It needs to be plated well and it will be on par with Michelin star restaurants. read more

Little Dhaka - Rohu kalia - Indian Near Me - Artesia, California

The yogurt, beef curry, poori & samosas are great here! The service was good and fast as well. There is nothing to the ambiance as it is more of a take out place, so don't judge it by the looks. The minus one star is due to the portion. The portion is quite small for the $8.99 two item combo. I wish they would give you more sides even if it means less basmati rice. All said and done, I will come back to try their other dishes- Fish curry, dal, etc. read more

Recently went there with my wife. Food, service and ambiance were great! I highly recommend this place.

I should not have eaten there. It was not clean and the server was rude. I was doing take out so i was not as concerned about it. I ordered the goat curry and poori and was going to eat it as I drive to San Diego. The food was luke warm. I was hungry and started to eat it but took 2 bites and stopped and spit it out. It was BAD! it was old and should have been thrown out. The poori was stale. If I want already on the road I would have turned around and demanded a refund. I will not go back and wish I could post a negative star review but forced to give one star which is extremely generous read more

I love this hole in the wall place and it's the only place that sells singara (not samosa biff diff coming from India). They have great choices of curry and their beef curry is very tasty plus the price is great if you catch lunch special. I wished we knew this place 4 yrs ago since living here, but finally found it. Their mutton biryani is the bomb too and can't wait to go back read more

I cant say anything about the food, but the people the are rude and arrogant. We were visiting an adjacent restaurant and their staff interrupted our dinner asking us too our cars so their customers could park there. What a bunch of self important idiots. read more

Worst customer service possible. They don't care that people are in line, as they converse with and dawdle with others. It's just pathetic I saw an empty restaurant with no care for their customers. It's sad to see a good kitchen suffer because the front staff are lazy read more

Little Dhaka has the most authentic and amazing Bangladeshi food in OC! Head Chef Rafi makes the greatest desi food and leaves every customer happy! Please check this place out; you won't be disappointed! read more

We went for groceries and they have just the bare minimum spices, no veggies, lots of frozen fishes and I assume their cooked food at the restaurant is good. We didn't try the food. Was a little disappointed that I could get only 10-15% of my grocery list. Oh yes, they has sweet curd (misthi doi) available. read more

My family loves Bengali food, so since we go to Little India more than Little Bangladesh, this joint has become our go-to spot for Bengali food and fish. Their chicken biryani is tasty. My family members also swear by their fish curry. They are generous with the portions and the price is decent, as well. Food is pre-made and customer order fast-food style. It's a half grocery store, so you can even do a little shopping for your rahu fish, spices, and other Bengali/South Asian necessities all while dining here. Service is friendly. It has a very close-knit family vibes with an uncle serving you. Parking is fairly easy to find (a lot better than parking in Little Bangladesh). It is located in a plaza with other businesses and the times I have gone here, there have been plentiful parking. read more

Little Dhaka just upgraded with the new main chef, Rafi. Everything was delicious- beef curry, chicken roast, spicy chicken curry. We had it with the rice (pulau) and paratha. The food was flavorful, fresh, and on point! If you need that Bangali food fix, this is your spot. read more

The place has good Bangladeshi food(only food). Their catering service is acceptable.However, the environment is not clean and friendly. You need to be extra careful while doing Groceries from them. They keep EXPIRED ITEM mixed with the current items to trick you. Price is also relatively higher than comparable stores. read more

Wow this place has to be as authentic as it gets! And just when I thought all the little places in little bangalidash & ktown had the best Bengali food, nope wrong! They have biriani (goat and chicken) and it's super authentic and good Beef curry is super good here Goat curry was super authentic and the meat was so tender and good not gamey Best time to eat here is on Sundays If you come late they do warm your food up in the microwave ekkkk Roti is make homemade fresh and delishs read more

Oh little Dkaka wanted to like you ! Friend from Bangladeshi recommended this place for biryani. Have been there 3 x for it.. yesterday is the last time! The chicken biryani is mostly spicy rice with chicken bone parts yiu never knew a chicken had! You barely get any meat! The beef biryani last night was beef nuggets that were Rock hard! Terrible! They give lots of food but at $11.99 it's basically rice and very little meat. Tried the goat biryani few weeks back was just as tough. Here's a suggestion to the chef, cook the meat low and slow to tenderize. Got the chicken samosa $2.49 each was pretty good. But alas I will find a new biryani place ! read more

The tandoori chicken and chicken biryani are delicious! And less than half the price of comparable foods in West L.A. it's very much worth the time and gas ot takes to make the trip. read more

I purchased some fish from Little Dhaka but the receipt do not mention the weight of the fish i was charged . Iwas very surprised as every store put the price and the weight tags on the fish and meat . So i have no idea what i am paying for . I think you must mention the weight on the bags . read more

Great source for Bangladeshi food and groceries. They now deliver in San Diego. They bring it to a fixed location and you pick it up.

This place put me on to Bangladeshi food. I've tried their goat biryani, chicken biryani, goat curry, fish curry, beef curry, and balachao (not sure if that's how it's spelled?). I'm Burmese so you can imagine my surprised when I saw what looked like balachaung! The man behind the counter saw my face light up and gave me a sample to try. So good!! I ate the balachao/balachaung with my goat biryani and it was perfection. The goat curry with garlic naan is a great combo as well. I don't really shop at their market except to buy mango pickle, so can't really comment on the quality of their products. read more

Bought some goat meat from here which turned out to be very good quality. Later picked some to-go food from there. The fish curry was excellent and was closer to my taste There is not much dine in there and even the place doesn't seem clean and tidy for dining in. The service, especially the attitude of the person who manages the cash register, could be better. He seem rude and disinterested unless of course you converse in Bengali. read more

My husband and I come here often and food never fails!! We always get chicken biryani, dal, paralta, rohu fish, and chicken curry. All so delicious!!! read more

Great food. They are not selling their ambience decent service.............,,,,,,,.,.............. that's it

Summary based on 1 dinner: --pretty good Indian style food --all veg option available --friendly, helpful counter service with no language issue --cheap --easy parking --no air con --no wifi. $5.99 for a two veg + white rice combo. The counter guy gave me some raw green chillies after I asked for hot sauce, which I appreciated. The usual Bollywood clips were on a flat screen. Seemed clean, but really closest to a hole-in-the-wall I've seen lately. I don't know why this place doesn't get more business. It's not fine cuisine, but decent enough. For the record, plastic spoons/forks and a B Health rating, so maybe not suitable for that romantic date. read more
