The flavors here tell stories better than I ever could. Employees are reliably friendly and address all needs. The meal was better than expected. The experience satisfies completely. I respect this place and encourage others to try it! read more

We stopped by this place on our way upstate. It was quite hard to locate first as the name listed didn't quite match the storefront name, which I think it was Spice It Up. 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. read more

The Samosa is spicy but good. The fries are crispy but way too oily. The burger I got was burnt. The Mango Lassi is good. The place was way too busy when I went. Service was lacking cuz they had so many customers which is understandable. I had high hopes for this place after reading the other reviews but I was sadly disappointed. read more

This place is delicious! Authentic bengali food that tastes like it was made right in your moms kitchen. Our favorites were the freshly made appetizers. The service is excellent, they really treat all customers very well. read more

It was an interesting experience. There is a good choice of food and what is important for me that there were not-so-spicy not-so-hot options. Food is good even if it could have been warmed up better. It is not a restaurant but very simple clean place for a quick dinner/lunch. I would come back again. read more

Packsun Halal Chicken - Good, tasty, decent priced but a bit cold food - Halal Near Me - Bronx, New York

Delicious clean and healthy food! This place is an oasis in an area filled with sand. Everyone is welcoming and warm regardless of creed or color. Attentive service and although on some occasions there has been a language barrier, I leave satisfied, full and happier than before. 100% vouch for this place! If you are anywhere near here, please do yourself a favor and check out this south asian gem hidden in plain sight. read more

This was my first time going in there and I'm just blown away. First, let me say the hospitality is just so wholesome. I walked in, ordered my halal burger with fries and stood to wait for my food. The lady in charge legit looks like a sweet mother. She offered me free tea and a seat. I was so shocked because this was a new kind of service in a semi-fast eatery/small diner. The free tea was amazing warmed me and realize dhow cold it really was outside I felt at ease. She was such a sweet heart and so are the staff. Second,my food was freshly cooked and amazing. It takes a bit for orders not already in the heating window but for the quality and service it's beyond worth it. I truly regret walking past this place ... curiously and not walking in.This is definitely a fave eating spot now. read more

I will say that I didn't get to try much, stopped there to meet some friends whom were already done with dinner when i arrived but encouraged me to try some items on the menu. I got a couple of bits to try while we caught up and they were all great. I had the Tandoori Chicken leg (OMG juicy, fresh, tasty) so good I didn't need any yogurt with it. Had the Samosa, salad with spicy yogurt dressing (all available in fridge to use) and a dish that was boiled egg in breading, almost like a vegetarian Scotch egg. Delicious!! And the MANGO lassi (drink in fridge) to absolutely die for...Best I've ever tried, hands down. Go for just this if you have to. Not too heavy on the dairy, great taste of mango and not overly sweet. Amazing!! Huge display of curry's and traditional Bengali fare, all looking fantastic, if I wasn't with friends I would of grabbed a to go box, but that means I'll have to just go back instead. My friend paid so not sure of cost but all advertised as affordable. The space was very clean and the owner was nice and hospitable. It's right next to the Castle Hill stop on the 6. Go there, make it a thing, you won't regret it. Can't wait to go again soon!! read more

Excellent customer service and friendly staff . They offer traditional American food on the menu , as well as Bangladeshi food . I enjoyed everything I ordered --chili chicken with a mild spice , curry chicken (spicy), chicken kabobs, vegetable rice & garlic naan. Small cozy place , not the best looking but it does the job. I would go again read more

Packsun Halal Chicken - chili chicken, chicken kabobs with salad, garlic naan, vegetable rice & curry chicken - Halal Near Me - Bronx, New York

The food is always fresh. The staff is very friendly. They have special sweets on the weekends. The price is reasonable but it's a very busy area so finding parking is difficult. read more

Second time disappointment with take-away from this place: Goat Kacchi Biryani was awful: pasty and buttery, and goat pieces were unusually dark! Someone who boasts being from Dhaka should be mindful about authenticity, especially about Kacchi Biryani! Also tried Chicken Roast and Tandoori chicken and both items seemed not marinated/cooked right. Being familiar with Bangladeshi food, did not have happy experience on both occasions. read more

Excellent food. Excellent price. Soup is great. Ask for the vegetable soup. Careful, it's spicy.

The service was very friendly but the food left a lot to be desired. I ordered the chicken marsala, chicken biryani, saag paneer with a vegetable samosa. tasted very little of the garam marsala on the chicken, the samosa was good, but the rest of the food was kind of bland. I was disappointed especially after traveling a distance to reach this restaurant, I expected better. read more

Overpriced for no reason. Spent over $80 for 3 curries and naan's. Was told something was going to be included for free (dal) and during checkout was charged $8. Then got charged another $7 for tax but wasn't told when they added it to my credit card. When I said to void it and to pay in cash they refused. Do not go here. They will charge you extra and think you will not notice. read more

Fantastic food. Definitely will come back. Staff is very friendly. Inside the shop is nice and cozy.

Amazing selection. So many unique delicious options. Have never been disappointed with anything I got here. Reasonable prices also.

This restaurant is really good. I was on my way home and saw many people storming the restaurant. I went in and saw the specials. Then, I ordered chicken curry and Nan with some tea and rice and some soup with salad on the side. I really enjoyed it and the customer service was excellent. I'd highly recommend mend this place. It has a little something for everyone. read more

I have passed this place on multiple occasions often seeing many people savoring over the food. The owner & chef is named Islam. He's a friendly guy that also served us after taking the time to explain the dish contents and offering samples. If you like spicy-this is the spot. I rarely tip in the Bronx but had to when Chef Islam offered to "take care of us". #supportSMALLBUSINESS read more

Excellent service! I cannot praise this place enough for its outstanding, kind service. The sweet man at the counter brought me my food at the table I was sitting and even gave me sauces without me asking. I am very impressed with the quality of the food and the off the hook Chipotle sauce they have as well. Clean, spacious and outlets available for charging your phone or plugging in your laptop. This was the perfect place for a late night snack. A must try! read more

I was in the area searching for a quick snack before getting on the six train and decided to stop in. I had a chicken patty, a chicken roll and a man who I think is the owner threw in a fried vegetable thingy that was really yummy! The chicken patty was a flaky buttery type of patty and the chicken roll was packed with chicken and some corn and carrots. It's definitely a warm and inviting vibe going on there. I will definitely stop by again when I'm in the area read more

Had a great lunch today, goat curry from the window. The young woman serving me was lovely, and brought the food to the table. The meat was falling off the bone and the sauce was perfectly medium spicy. It was a big portion for $8 with plenty of rice and some lettuce/tomato/cucumber. The charming owner came to my table to make sure my food was OK, need I say more? read more

Friendly service, they will explain everything to you. The owner was very kind and asked us about the food. We ate Chili chicken, rice and some sweet fried dough that I cannot remember the name of. All excellent. We'll be back! read more

Packsun Halal Chicken - Can't remember the name but ask for this!!! - Halal Near Me - Bronx, New York

Packsun is another local favorite among the Bangladeshi community, the food is great and so are the portions, It WILL fill you up, guaranteed. The prices are about the same as other local restaurants so that's not a problem (it's cheap). The owner had owned another restaurant in the area that was a local favorite so when he opened this one the old staff transferred. This is a big plus for frequent customers of the previous restaurant. read more

*This restaurant is owned by the previous restaurant on starling known as Neroob. My husband I use to eat at neroob many times in the past and loved their services. Sadly we heard that Neroob was gone and changed into another restaurant that wasn't so pleasing. We ran into the owners a few times & got to know Packsun was his new restaurant. Owner is a very friendly guy as well as his family. We finally got to come here one Friday after work for dinner and felt welcomed and at home with the services neroob had given us in the past. Food is delicious and the people are very helpful in selecting dishes. Will definitely keep visiting. read more

Great service and great selection. The owner is extremely friendly. They are willing to answer any question and sometimes offer you a taste.

Good food and a great place. Had the rotisserie chicken and it was definitely flavorful and will go again for sure.

We stumbled on this place when we were in the neighborhood and were just thrilled with the friendliness of the staff and the delicious food. Although there's US of A fried chicken available, we went with the traditional Bengali food and it was the best I ever had! Don't expect atmosphere. Just warm friendly faces and yummy golab jamun and piping hot traditional bread read more

A little confusing place, combination of fast food with Bengali food from Bangladesh. I ordered a burger with fries and lamb gyro. Burger tasted decent but the fries were awful (soaked in oil). Gyro wasn't fresh either, tasted like it was frozen meat. Service was okay. Maybe I'll give them a second chance in the future. read more

Best bengali food in the area, starting from their biriyani to khichuri to all the curries. All of them are just too good

Ordered my entire meal for Thanksgiving, instead of just getting just a Turkey additionally added the Rotisserie Chicken didn't cook anything at home. Everything was amazing, my family truly enjoyed it and had a ton of leftovers because of the portions are huge. Most definitely go again and try the burger featured on the page. Support your local businesses everyone, the owner invested time and effort around this neighborhood for some time. read more

This is probably my best place to eat Mexican food. The food taste amazing and with affordable prices. The owner is really nice and everybody there tries to make you feel like family. read more

Unbelievable place. Had the lamb and goat biryani with fish and beef curry and chicken chili. Also tried the fried chicken. My favorite was the chicken chili but my boo liked the fish curry the most. But the black milk tea was the most amazing thing. My family is from Hong Kong and the hot milk tea tasted just like it does in HK, if not better. The lady that worked there told me that they brew the tea and milk separately to make it super concentrated; unlike most places that just give you a crappy tea bag. Great service and super friendly people. 5/5* read more

Nice little cozy place. A mixture of traditional Bangladeshi food meets American I guess, but not entirely! I like their samosas and chicken patty. The workers are nice and friendly! read more
