Radhuni is a neighborhood staple serving Bangladeshi food to the diaspora for over a decade now. In…read moremy household, they are highly frequented due to "homecooked" nature of their dishes. They have staple every day dishes, and also offer rotating ones that add to their variety. We like the homecooked feel of their food. On busy days where we can't make time to cook, they come in clutch. Some special food recommendations: Lollipop chicken- a fried drumstick or wing, made to resemble a lollipop. It's coated in seasonings, and served with their version of boom boom sauce. Crowd favorite. Chicken biryani- flavored rice with chicken. Can eat this by itself. Beef teheri- flavored rice with beef. Chicken Roast- not roast chicken lol. In our cuisine, this is a smothered chicken in a creamy, oniony based sauce with spices. Not to be missed. Reshmi kebab- Chicken pieces, marinated in spices and smoked to perfection. Try this! it's a different take from the tandoori style you're always getting ;) I'd recommend fish curries with rice, as that's our specialty. However, they are bone in, and so it may not be everyone's cup of tea. Get the shrimp curry if it's available. The other items, such as beef curries, mixed vegetables, daal (lentils) are pretty standard. For a quick but delicious snack, get a vegetable or chicken samosa with chai. Can't be beat! They have other appetizer foods too- chicken rolls, and pakoras. Spice level tends to be medium. I've not found them to be very spicy hot, which works out for those of us who can't handle that. We always get take out from them. They package the food well (enough) so the oil does not leak. There is always a lot of oil on the top of the foods, but this is the case at every bengali/indian/pakistani restaurant anyways. We just dump it out when we get home. There are tables and indoor seating. However, we opt to bring it home. I do wish the ambiance was nicer to sit and eat, but it's not a big deal. During Ramadan and other holidays, they have specialty items which is another time to try them out.

Monkey King is easily a 10/10 experience and one of those rare restaurants where the food is…read moreincredible and the people behind it make you feel genuinely cared for. First, the owners are some of the kindest, most thoughtful hosts you could hope to meet. You can feel how much they care about their community the moment you walk in. They've also made real efforts to make the space accessible for different bodies, which is something that far too few restaurants consider. That level of intention and hospitality truly stands out. And then there's the food -- absolutely phenomenal. Every dish feels intentional, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Standouts for me: Shrimp Toast - the best I've ever had. Perfectly crisp, rich, and balanced. Duck - deeply flavorful and cooked to perfection. Ribs - tender, savory, and incredibly satisfying. Char Siu - sweet, smoky, and melt-in-your-mouth good. Eggplant - unbelievably delicious and a must-order. Monkey King is the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit. Amazing food, genuine hospitality, and a space that feels welcoming and thoughtful. Highly recommend supporting this gem.

Even the bathroom was impressively nice, which always says a lot about a restaurant's attention to detail. The food and drinks were on point. The crab fried rice, fried shrimp toast, rib lamb were all flavorful and well-prepared. One standout for me was the spring rolls--they were so good, crispy and packed with flavor. The drinks were also great, making the overall dining experience even better. Between the great food, nice atmosphere, and convenient location, it's definitely a place I'd go back to again. Alexa greeted us and took our order she's amazing! If you're planning a date night or a nice dinner out, Monkey King is a solid choice.

The vibe feels a bit more upscale and the menu has expanded, but the food and service are still wonderful. They now have a bunch of cocktails and mocktails. I opted for the classic lemonade with ginger and mint. It was lovely, refreshing and balanced. We started off with the Papdi Chaat which was an excellent version. It hits all the notes, crispy, creamy, tangy, spicy...so good. The Karahi Keema Paratha is Paratha bread stuffed with ground lamb and spices and it was excellent. So savory and flavorful. Butter Chicken is a wonderful version. Creamy with a hint of spice and tender, juicy chicken. Dal Tadka are yellow lentils with spices and packed with flavor. Just delicious. Paratha Wala was the perfect spot for some delicious comforting food on a cold night.

The mainstays here are combos, generally three vegetables or one meat-one vegetable. I've enjoyed everything but gravitate to the meat dishes which are spicer.
