When I first saw this restaurant , I thought it's the original popular brand from Bangladesh. But then found out from my friend they just used their name to open up this place. Still the restaurant has nice interior, the sitting area looks really nice. Alongside Bangladeshi dishes, they also have huge variety of sweets and confectionery goods. We went early in the morning around 10am, so there was not much lunch items to order. Luckily they had the item my friend was craving for, beef nehari. We got a big box it. It had really good taste, bone pieces were large. I also got a mango lassi, but it was thin, almost seemed watery to me. Few staff members we interacted with were friendly. One of them told us upfront parathas were not ready and would take time if we had ordered. read more

Ate here today by myself for lunch. I had brought and ate the fish curry lunch combo and drank mango lassi that it had tasted really good and delicious. The service there was also attentive that I managed to eat with my hand to scoop out and one of the workers were surprised that I used my right hand to eat and I told them it's very good. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time. read more

We went as a big group of 8 and our Bengali friend ordered a bunch of dishes and it was so good! Everything was so flavorful and everything had different flavor profiles. My favorite were the dal and the Ramadan special that's a goat & dal curry, so delicious with lime. I'm just a huge fan of dal. The cha was heavier than what I'm used to, but I still enjoyed it a lot! read more

Whenever I am in Jackson Heights I have my own favorite places I go to eat or shop. Very rarely I come this side . The other day I came here with a new friend & that's his favorite place to eat . So I just followed my friend & give it a go. The food was good, service was great . I was just having fun with my friend & enjoying the food lol, I definitely forgot to take pictures of the food. I will come back just to try their food & let you guys know. read more

found a hair in the food, clear it was hair because it's jet black. entire family lost appetite, including me who had found it in my piece. service was not the best, as the food was cold and we had to ask for the food to get warmed up in a microwave. we also had no plates or utensils, which we had to ask for. tea was nice, but that was basically the only good thing i could experience here. read more

5 star service and food. Some of the best bangladesh I food I ever had. To top it off, the service and professionalism of this restaurant is unmatched! I highly recommend anyone that comes to Jackson Heights to come here and have a proper meal, it's a highlight when I'm in the area! read more

Premium Sweets & Restaurant - Vegetable Fried Rice - Bangladeshi Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

Been a regular since last decade so high time I wrote how I appreciate these small Bengali joints that remind me of home cooked food whenever I get nostalgic! The menu rotates based on season but there would be atleast 5-6 kinds of fish, several goat, chicken or beef dishes and then many vegetarian delicacies that is lip smacking. This is a typical diner where you could get samosa in the morning or fried fish early afternoon. There is a huge dessert section for Bengali sweet meats the place closes down like the neighborhood during Ramadan but has huge displays of fried food and other Ramadan fare! A must come if you are in the area and in mood for Bangladesh food. Overall not an amazing ambience or great service but food is exceptional with a very affordable price tag read more

Premium Sweets & Restaurant - Store front - Bangladeshi Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

3.5 stars. Meh, look it does the job. The food is pretty good and the place is spacious and clean. Can't speak for the bathrooms since I didn't use it. I usually always come here for some samosas and Bengali chai, which are definitely a go to favorite of mine. I decided to have breakfast here in the morning (9 ish) with my friend and the restaurant was pretty much empty. I had their Naan, which in comparison to the naan I've had at Kabib King (which is like a stones throw away from the restaurant), tasted hard. I prefer the softness of the Naan at Kabab King. I also ordered their chicken curry and Aloo Bhaji (potato stir fry) , which were really good though. For dessert, we ordered 'Bhapa pitha' , which is a rice cake with molasses filling. It was OK but I wish it was warmer and it definitely doesn't beat the homemade ones my mom makes that are piping hot right from the stove. One thing that I feel could use improvement is customer service. First of all, if you're sitting in, there's no menu. You have to make your choices from what you see in the buffet display at the front. Someone will take your order from there and then you proceed to finding yourselves a seat. While I'm familiar with all the food on display, I know that it definitely will be hard for someone unfamiliar with Bengali cuisine to know what they want (the staff will try their best to help). The 'waiters' that were serving us were also working at the front, handling to go orders. This made it difficult to get their attention and I had to get up from my seat when I wanted to request something. I appreciate that they do accept debit cards here (they will charge tax, as they should). Overall, I recommend just order takeout from here. read more

Clean looking place but absolute blah food. We ordered chicken samosa, chicken Shami kabob, and onion pakora none of which we could even finish and the chicken tikka was as average as any other no name place and I couldn't even finish it. Quite disappointing. The waiter basically smacked down the paper plates on the steel and wood table. No one bothered to ask or bring us water. To be avoided. read more

Instead of the heavy meals (biryani/rice dishes), I would go for snacks and tea here. The portions are huge for the snacks, so we just had them for dinner. We got chicken samosas, shingara, piyaju/bora, and cha. Took some sweets to go, and they were good. read more

Shawarma tasted pretty bad I'll eat it if I had to. The food was really dry and there's no sauce besides ketchup. Who the hell wants ketchup with shawarma. It was 6$ for a Shawarma that tasted really mid. read more

Only came here for the sweets, so can't vouch for the other food. It was ~$16 for eight sweets + a chai and we ate in, so thought that was a pretty decent price. I'd never had Bengali sweets before, I knew that they have a big sweet tooth, but some of the sweets were, well, too sweet. The table we sat at wasn't clean, but not too mad about that. The women's restroom also was out of order so had to wait for the men's, but there was no toilet paper in there so had to use paper towels. Very crowded though on a Saturday night, the place was popping. Had cricket games on the television and got the chance to practice my Bangla in the process. read more

Premium Sweets & Restaurant - The sweets - Bangladeshi Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

The restaurant owner or manager and his friends got into a violent confrontation with a elderly man. Fortunately the elderly man was not assaulted physically. After the elderly man was able to escape the owner/manager accosted his dining customers because they were not minding their own business. The owner/manager is the one with the white cap and one of the friends who wanted to beat up the elderly man is wearing the white pants. A customer said the elderly man was upset that he was charged the incorrect price. Many customers left because they believed they would be at risk of their safety. Another customer said they are acting like this because they are from the village of Bangladesh thus they have no manners. I wished they handled the situation in. A professional manner and didn't involve their custoemrs The food is good. The Goat Biryani and Beef Curry is a must try. The desserts are delicious. There are plenty of seating for large parties and table booths. If you decide to dine here do not question the prices because they will get upset and violent. read more

Hi! I was a customer from this restaurant and the service was amazing. The waitress Sumia was asking questions, very polite, and was asking if we needed anything else and was very kind! I hope the person running this place will give her a raise or much more. Also the food was really good! But overall I think the waitress was the best worker at this restaurant. I hope she gets a raise InshAllah!!! read more

As far as Bengali joints are concerned, I'm not mad at Premium Sweets. They've done a far better job than most previous reviews would have indicated (at least food wise) and the fact they are a destination for quite a number of local families makes this place A-Ok as far as I'm concerned. They should very much be a revered desserts destination. The selection goes a bit further than burfis and cashew / almond based desserts, but what I find impressive is their array of cake slices ranging from black forest to red velvet. They also serve a mean tiramisu, though I would always argue a little more booze in the batch wouldn't hurt. Traditional desserts include a number of desi donut holes, i.e. galub jamun, laddoo, rasqullah, which are as sinful as they are sweet. On the hot food front, they have a number of items that merit plenty of attention, namely the biriyani, samosas, and various curries. A few things I didn't really dig so much aren't worth much of a mention (goat and kebabs?) but the food on a whole is really not that bad. I think I'd find a few more items to enjoy if I didn't come here but once or twice a year at best. Where they can fall flat sometimes is the service. I'm not saying the folks behind the counter are slow, but they can be, especially when there is no one else around customer wise. Also, it has been a tough deal whenever I've called in to confirm if certain items are available or not, sometimes I just get hung up on after one too many inquiries. That can get frustrating and I can see the hangups people have when the wait staff isn't doing their job because they're too busy socializing. All in all, one could do far worse than Premium Sweets. As some folks would say in a cliché: not the worst, but certainly not the best. Hence, 3 stars. read more

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. My 80 year old grandmother went to here today. The stairs are a hazard. She saw an elderly woman struggle to get down the stairs. My grandma herself struggled herself to go up the stairs. When she finally got inside, she told the staff "there was an elderly lady who was struggling to get up the stairs, I struggled too you guys should look into your stairs." A cashier then told her "The elderly shouldn't come here." David, who introduced himself as the "owner of the restaurant" then came and told my grandma that this restaurant isn't meant for elderly people and that if she should go buy Samosas outside on the street because they're "cheaper." My grandma didn't even mention the price of the food, all she said was that the stairs were difficult to get up. David then went next door and got a guy from next door to come and intimidate my grandma. Their behavior was extremely rude and discriminatory. read more

Premium Sweets & Restaurant - a bowl of rice with a spoon - Bangladeshi Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

Chicken Samosas and sweets! These Chicken Samosas that Premium Sweets sells will be the end of me. I'm dead serious. Every time I come here it's guaranteed that I chow down four of them. They are sooooo addictive. They are filling, spicy, and crispy all wrapped in a triangle shaped treat. The sweets here are equally addictive, hence the name of the restaurant. Between the Samosas and the sweets, this covers my basic needs. To be honest I not quite fond of the other stuff on the menu and thus can't recommend. The customer service also may be a little lacking but get your stuff to go and it won't matter. read more

The one star is for the food only. The food is actually pretty good! This review is all about the service. If I could give them triple zeroes for service quality, I would. I ordered a week in advance. On the day of, they told me to come by 12:30pm. You would think they'd feel lucky I arrived thirty minutes late. You would think they'd have things ready by then. But oh boy the cost of expectations! They were extra 15 minutes late. They packaged a pretty greasy dish in the most leak friendly of ways. I had to carry this on an Uber and some of the oil leaked into the car seat. The driver was unbelievably nice about everything and helped spray and wipe everything off. Lesson learned: I'm never ordering from them again! read more

Thoughts on my order today. Ordered beef bone marrow curry (paya in bangla). Price for each order is $12 which is not that low so you would expect a good balanced amount. I couldn't be more wrong. All bones with nothing on it. Like nothing to chew or anything. Just plain bones. I am taking time out of being a very busy mom to come on here and write this review to help others to not make this mistake. I made 2 orders of this curry ($24) and believe me when I say not good enough for 2 people even. I am so disappointed. I got deceived big time! Never going back. But I warned you all. So atleast no one else has to feel this way. Saturday night ruined. read more

We came here for tea and dessert after we had lunch at another place. They had a fair share of options, but seeing as its called Premium Sweets I thought they'd have more options - specifically Roshgolla or Rasmalai (some very traditional bengali sweets). Still we got a couple to share between the two of us and each got a cup of tea, which was delicious. We did notice the food options they had as we walked and they all looked appetizing. Hopefully next time we're in NY we can find time to stop by and have a meal there. read more

Despite all the negative reviews, my friends and I had an excellent meal at Premium Sweets! We were impressed by the large variety of entrees, especially the number of fish options (~20 we were told!) My friend who brought us is Bengali, and gave her assurance on its authenticity. My favorites were the samosa & egg appetizer, as well as the okra curry. The food was extremely affordable & filled us up on our road trip! I ate some of the leftovers the next day and did not encounter any Gi problems, of note! read more

The only reason this place gets a star because of their daal. The daal was average. Customer service at this restaurant really needs a lot of improvement. Also they need to know how to clean the tables and the floors. How can they place new customers when there is filth on the tables? I have a picture of an example.... a cup stain after they so-call cleaned the table... Food is a concern here... This is first time I detested Goat curry from all the goat curries I have tried in Jackson Heights and Manhattan ... Also this location serves more bones than the actual meat... we tried to talk to several of the workers how this is a concern, but they looked at us and ignored us. I couldn't even finish the meat... It was too tough and the curry is full of oil... Who wants to buy a mango lassi for 5 dollars, when can you go across the street for 2.50 or 3 dollars! The lassi is below average,I have tasted better. Overall please try to skip this restaurant; its better off going to MacDonald, Wendy's or anything else... read more

Premium Sweets & Restaurant - No thanks. Too dry.. bad tudes if you're white. - Bangladeshi Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

We ordered 3 different desserts and chai. The deserts were nothing to brag about. I didn't take more than 2 bites because they didn't taste fresh. They have a lot of food and desserts to choose from. However it was not to my liking read more

To sum up, sweets were absolutely horrible and more importantly STALE! We came to the store because it was close to the restaurant we had just had dinner at. Came in and had to wait a few minutes for service. Just looking at the stand the sweets look questionable and stale (especially the rosogola) but ordered anyway. One bite and I knew how stale and horrible it tasted. Rasmalai was STALE AND SLIMY, and couldn't even return. Jalebi was extremly ordinary and way overpriced ($15). From what I saw food was AT LEAST 2 weeks old. if you dont want your day to be ruined, don't come here..... It's definitely not "PREMIUM" read more

This place has excellent authentic Bengali food. It is no frills but highly recommend the food.

One of the best way to finish an evening of eating in the 74 St. Jackson Heights area is a visit to the sweet shops. There are dozens of them! My peeps and I got adventurous and wondered into a Premium Sweets on 73 St. for dessert and tea. This place was previously called Alauddin Sweets & Restaurant. You know you walked into an authentic Middle Eastern & West Asian place when everyone stares at you (well, just me). Probably everyone in the place had an Indian, Pakistani, Bangladesh or Sri Lanka background. The restaurant is really setup like a cafeteria-style eatery. Pick your food and the waitress will put it on a tray and you grab a table. There is a buffet-style hot food setup on the left when you enter where some the food looks familiar to me; fried fish, fried rice, mix noodles. There are many stuff that I have never seen but we are here for sweets. We ordered desserts- Gulab jarmun (brown dough balls in sugar syrup) $3 (tasty and sweet) Laddoo- white sugary - mini balls $3 (overdosed on sugar) Rasgullah- white dough balls with condensed milk $3 (my favorite; milky, doughy and not too sweet) Tea with milk $1 (I really needed this to stabilize myself with all the sugar) I was sugar high for hours!!! Tip- there is no menu! Cash only. The patrons are mostly locals. (You'll feel out of place but foodies don't care.) Are you feeling adventurous? read more

Being born in Bangladesh, I have high expectations when it comes to BD food. PS&R falls short...way short. I came here with the my wife who like me, will eat anything. We hardly come to the JH area but since we were there, we decided to give these guys a try. It was Ramadan, so I guess they had more food than usual - funny how that works! Besides having a regular hot bar they had another open buffet style table with Iftaar food + a bunch of kebabs and biryani dishes. The food on this buffet table had no cover and who knows how long it had just been sitting out there gathering dust. However, it wasn't an actual buffet. You had to order the food by plate. The whole thing was a bit haphazard and chaotic which made me feel I was back in BD. As my luck would have it, they didn't have Kachchi Biryani so I decided to go with the Goat Biryani instead. I also saw a few things that I liked so we went all out and tried a bunch of other stuff: Goat Biryani: Not bad but poor meat to rice ratio. I was done with the meat with half the rice still on my plate. 3/5 Golda Chingri (Large Prawn in curry): The curry wasn't bad but the prawn was overcooked and rubbery. Either that or it wasn't fresh. At $15 per prawn, this was a rip off. Good thing I only got one. 2/5 Jhura Gosh: My mom makes this dish really well. It's normally made with beef that's partially shredded and has very little sauce but a lot of flavor. Theirs had mostly fatty pieces and quite a bit of oil, but tasted okay. 2.5/5 Aloo Bhaji : Sliced Potatoes lightly fried in oil & spices. This is probably one of the easiest dishes to make in BD cuisine. They did an okay job but made me appreciate how much better the aloo bhaji was at home when I was growing up. 3.5/5 After trying these dishes, we were still hungry as the portions were small. So I went back up to the hot food bar and ordered two more meat dishes. Chicken tandoor: This is an Indian dish and not a traditional BD dish but I thought I would try theirs anyway. It tasted like card board. A very strong candidate for the worst chicken tandoor I've ever tasted. 1/5 Bihari Kebab: This isn't a traditional BD dish either but it's popular in BD and served in many restaurants. The flavor was okay but the beef had the texture of mashed potatoes. It was inedible. 1/5 After the meal, I had the unfortunate experience of having to use one of their restrooms. It literally smelled like shit. The meal was about $55 with tips (thankfully no tax was added). For a BD meal, that's a ridiculous amount of money to be spending for two people. We had to order a lot of food to make up for the small portions and almost none of it was good. I felt I paid a premium to have a low quality meal so I guess you could say Premium lived up to its name! read more

This was my first experience at a Bengali restaurant and I was very happy that a waitress walked up to offer help as I blankly stared at an unmarked buffet table. She happily pointed out all of the vegetarian items (lentil dal, okra, mixed veggies, potatoes, and eggplant when I visited) and the prices. The large eggplant slices were $2 each and each other item was $3 for half a serving and $5 for a full serving. I went with two eggplant slices (one for the road), and half servings of all the veggies, minus the lentils. The okra was very good and provided a light, healthy balance. The potatoes were good but not spectacular. The mixed veggies (recommended by the waitress) were also very flavorful and tasty. My favorite was the eggplant with fried onions, although it was impossibly greasy. I spooned off at least a tablespoon of oil from each slice of eggplant and blotted it down but it was still too greasy. I think if it were served over a bed of rice with some greens, it would be better balanced. The server seemed to imply that every dish came with rice. I told her I didn't want any rice and she seemed shocked. She offered roti instead. I hesitated but said I would try one. I didn't really want any bread but figured I might as well try it since it came with it. Wrong. It's $2. Not a ton of money, but annoying to pay for something I didn't really want in the first place. I told the server that she had implied rice or roti come with the dish and she didn't apologize or anything, just said everything is separate. I guess now I know. read more

I have many horror stories that I can share about Bengali restaurants​ and this is not one of them. The food here was great, I had the dhal (lentils) and the shrimp curry and they both hit it home with flavor. The shrimp tasted fresh and was not over cooked in any way. The spice level was spot on for me at least, it had a nice kick but it did not cause a sweat at all. read more

Sigh...we don't live closer to this gem. We visit a couple a times a year and ALWAYS make time to try a variety of Bengali dishes which usually includes different types of rice dishes, fish, veggies, beef curry, chicken roast, and my very favorite bhortas (smashed and spiced veggies or fish/shrimp)! So so good! You can also stroll in for some tea, fried appetizers, and sweets. Please don't feel intimidated if you don't speak Bangla, just take your time and they'll understand your requests. Also, I'd recommend take out on hot days since they don't have air conditioning which doesn't make for a comfortable environment to eat hot and spicy foods. *Tip: we requested a spoon of beef tehari (rice dish) to ensure we like the flavor before spending $9ish per plate. The lady was very kind and didn't hesitate in giving us a sample. read more
