The outside of the restaurant
Stacey-Ann M.

Ordered some apps to go. Needed a snack on my way home. I ordered chicken Samosas, chicken pakoras, and cheese Naan. The chicken pakoras were surprising. They were whole chicken breast chunks covered in a pakora batter. They also had a nice little kick. The cheese naan was nice and soft. The chicken samosas were spicy with a nice flavor but were so dry. The chicken filling inside was dry and crumbly which made it a mess to eat. I called ahead for pick up. However when I got to the restaurant I had to sit and wait an extra 35 minutes for my food. I almost missed my train. So make sure you're not in a rush when you order from here. The guy at the counter was nice and polite. I would definitely try something else from here, but I would try their dine-in experience next time.

Complementary bread

quite literally the best butter chicken I have ever had! Especially paired with the garlic naan.

3. Chicken Tikka

Honestly, had a great experience here. Really great food decent ambiance and amazing service. I will definitely be back and would order take out.

This is actually my second time here, so far I have not a single complaint to write about . And as a Bangladeshi I feel proud that a Bangladeshi owned business doing such an excellent job running this place. I came right after my son's graduation ceremony at Barclays. We were all so tired & real hungry. We got lucky that my parents are here to see my son graduation ceremony! And we have no other family here, so I wanted to make my son feel special with all of here together. Also took one of his closest friend with us ! The food was really great, Altho Bangladeshi food are spicy but because of the location I do understand why they have to changed it up a spices! The service was excellent. Very polite, helpful, informative; even my dad was happy with the service! Because the place is small I did call 10 min before just to make sure we have a seat for 5 people. And at first they were saying it will be tight but I told them it's raining and we had been here at Barclays all day on this heat & my family is tired & hungry. We need to seat down & eat lol. Because there were not much halal restaurants nearby where you actually can seat down . They did made the accommodation & we all much appreciated their efforts ! My son's friend is Mexican & he loved the food . Especially mango lassi, me personally love my regular lassi but I tried some from my son & I gotta say it was delicious. Btw, lol we were so hungry, even me that I forgot to take pictures of the food ! Sorry ..! We did met the owner & he was such a gentleman! My parents talked with him for a while & he answered all their questions. Much appreciated that! Btw I forgot to thank you guys for not ran with the flow like other halal restaurants in NY City which serves alcohol! You guys are loosing some money but you still respected our religion & keep it 100 percent Halal. And for that you guys earned our respect! Keep up the great work. If I am near the area I will definitely be here, rather then anywhere else.

the interior of a restaurant
Kathy X.

I had a good first impression of this place. The interior was lovely with brick walls and colorful decor. There was a nice, calm atmosphere. I tried the Garlic Naan, which was very tasty, full of strong garlic flavor, slightly crispy, and buttery. The Mango Lassi was also delicious with a cute presentation, complete with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles. The drink was refreshing, creamy smooth, as well as thick, with just the amount of sweetness. For my meal, I ordered the Lamb Chops with Spinach. The Lamb Chops had an impressive char to it, but was very tough. I had a really difficult time cutting it, as the restaurant only provided a butter knife, despite asking for a sharper knife multiple times. In addition, meat was on the dry side. I also wasn't a fan of the spinach. Others in my party seemed to enjoy their food much more. Service was pretty good, but I was definitely not satisfied with my dish, so I wouldn't return.

Vegetable Biryani
Karen M.

Second time ordering, first time wasn't good, a whole year after I decided to give it another try...... um still wasn't any better. I ordered vegetable biryani,! It definitely wasn't that it was brown rice the cooked up. As far as I know that was not how biryani looks, taste!!! Totally disappointed. This time it was the final nail for me, wouldn't be ordering from here again, I rather starve... I WANT A REFUND. Felt I was literally rob.

GET THE CHILI CHEESE TOAST ON A CROISSANT!…read more I'm still thinking about it. Their chai is also solid- a bit too sweet for me but very good. The space is also super cute! Will be back

We had dinner for two here last night and overall had a solid experience, with a few things that…read morecould be improved. We chose bar seating, which ended up being a bit of a tight squeeze facing the wall; not the most comfortable setup, but manageable for a short meal. To start, we had the pani puri, followed by the samosa chaat. The flavors were good, but the samosa chaat was a bit of a letdown. It wasn't served hot, and the samosa itself was soggy rather than crisp. That contrast in texture is really what makes the dish shine, so it felt like it may have sat a bit too long or was over-sauced. We also tried the vegetable pav, which was decent, and the cod, which was actually very good; nicely cooked with a flavorful sauce. I did find myself wishing we had an extra roti to soak up the rest. For drinks, I had the mango lassi, which I appreciated for not being overly sweet. Service was okay but could be more attentive. My water wasn't refilled after a couple of rounds, and we felt a bit rushed toward the end of the meal. We were given the check without being asked about dessert, which caught us off guard. We did ask afterward, but by then decided to go elsewhere. That said, the food overall is flavorful, and I can see why this place has appeal; especially if you're looking for something a little different in the neighborhood. Having met the owner before in Industry City, it's great to see her doing well in Carroll Gardens, and I wish the restaurant continued success.

This is our goto place for Indian food in Brooklyn. Being a Bengali I was dumbfounded when I found…read morean authentic Bengali restaurant walking distance from our place and the food quality is five stars!! I have not been disappointed once after eating more than 5 times. Below are items that I order regularly: 1. Chicken Biryani 2. Kosha Mangsho (Goat Curry) 3. Chilli Chicken - This is probably the best I have ever eaten! However I highly recommend eating this at the restaurant coz Togo will get soggy and not as much fun! There are couple of things which I am not a fan of: 1. They do not have a phone number on their website 2. Their Togo menu is different than their sit in menu. However, if you go there and ask them for items that are in their sit-in menu, they have never said no

I can't remember the rest but wanted to return to try the rest of the menu. It tasted like home and I loved it . I recently visited again and unfortunately they made the menu more mainstream I guess to attract more clientele. It was nothing like the original and I really miss the original menu. Even the spice level was so mild compared to the opening.

A few months ago, the longtime occupant of this space (a mediocre sushi place that we loved…read morenevertheless) shuttered, and Dastaan moved in. Since then, we've dined in, and taken out, and the food has been unfailingly delicious. If you can swing it, dining in is always the move. Unlike the aforementioned sushi joint, Dastaan has decorated to make the small space much more colorful, and infinitely more welcoming. It seems to be a family business, judging by the somewhat surly (teenage?) waitress, but she was still there for anything we needed. Plus, you'll get some complimentary papadum with homemade tamarind and green sauce. But either way, the food will be good. The naan is fresh and fluffy, the poori is delightful (this airy goodness is dine-in only, I'd imagine), the lasuni gobi starter is one of my favorite things, and the curries are all deeply rich and flavorful. We've had korma, bhuna, and saag, with seafood or chicken or paneer or lamb. We've of course had chicken tikka masala and butter chicken (I'd prefer dark meat in the latter for taste and juiciness, but I imagine I'm in the minority). All of it has been super, super tasty. One of my kids is coming around to the fact that Indian food can be amazing, the other will only eat rice and mango lassi. But Dastaan gives me hope that some day they'll crave it like I do. We're going to keep coming in, and taking out.

Wow. Restoring my faith in delivery and food that's delivered. This is my second time ordering. And…read moreI went with the classic tikka masala. The sauce was very good/great. It was sweet, but not overly so. And actually creamy (alot of places are watery). A few chicken pieces were tougher to chew. But overall a great dish. I also had my fave: aloo gobi. It was well seasoned, but some peas and cauliflower were slightly undercooked. The garlic naan was the highlight. Perfectly prepared, right amount of seasonings and butter. Prob the best I've had delivered. Cant wait to try other things from the menu.

We tried the Ghati Chicken, Szechuan Noodles, Basmati Rice, and Chapati (flatbread). The Ghati Chicken is very flavorful and quite spicy; the dark meat chicken is served in a stone bowl with a mixture of spices and spicy oil. It goes well with the basmati rice. The waitress recommended the Szechuan Noodles which was also very tasty and had a mixture of vegetables. The Chapati was good but nothing special - just a flat thin bread (similar to roti but less buttery). I would highly recommend the Ghati Chicken and Szechuan Noodles and can't wait to go back to try their other dishes. They offer a variety of appetizers, entrees (goat and vegetable biryani, paneer, butter chicken, fish), and sides. Service: The restaurant seemed a bit understaffed with only one waitress taking orders and seating customers and another waiter filling water and clearing empty dishes. It took a long time for us to get our order in, but the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Service was a bit slow because they were understaffed, but despite this, the two servers were excellent and did their best to get to everyone. Ambiance: The restaurant isn't big, but they are able to accommodate both large and small groups. Seating is tight but not too bad. I would make reservations because the place fills up quickly during peak dinner time. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant and can't wait to go back!

We ordered the sweet and sour eggplant as an appetizer and struggled over decision paralysis before settling on chicken tikka masala and a mango lassi for her and lamb vindaloo for me, plus a bread basket. Our waitress, seemingly oblivious to the notion of profit, warned us we were ordering too much bread before saying, "You could always bring some home," and explaining that the bread basket would consist of our choice of four different naan. More decision paralysis! We picked plain, garlic, onion, and peshwari naan. The eggplant was good, breaded and fried and served with cilantro and tamarind chutneys. Our entrees came out soon after we finished. My girlfriend enjoyed her chicken, and my lamb was tender and spicy without being overwhelmingly so. Each entree was accompanied by a portion of basmati jeera, and the rice was perfectly cooked. The naan were all good, and my girlfriend and I both agreed the peshwari naan was the winner of the pack. The sweet, nutty bread complimented and contrasted the spicy curry of my lamb vindaloo, and my "best bite" was mopping up some of the sauce with it. Sure enough, we had leftovers both of our entrees and 3/4 pieces of naan (two guesses as to which got eaten on the spot), and lunch the next day was delicious. Stumbling distance from the 7 Ave F/G.
