The food, the sweets, the customer service was just too good. Tonight I took my coworkers to Jackson heights for to try some Bangladeshi food. It was too cold to continue but we did tried some desserts here & I gotta say it was excellent. Even my American friends loved the sweets. Thank you so much for the warm welcome & excellent food. We will be definitely coming soon after the weather gets better.

Many moons ago, I was told that Jackson Heights was becoming less of a Little India and more like a…read moreLittle Bangladesh. The latter holds true for Abdullah, which has been among the sleepier businesses on the block for a good number of years. It's not exactly a destination spot, but serves the neighborhood well as a locals only type establishment. Like many of the shops along 37th, the space is super tight with an old school exterior look. This is more of a takeout joint than anything, but I imagine coming in for some tea and a snack from the display is doable on a solo adventure. I haven't used the bathrooms yet and given the relatively grimy interior, I'm not sure I would want to. I initially came for the sweets and ended up getting their infamous fuchka and wasn't disappointed. They also serve a halfway decent bortha, which I prefer with potato over the shrimp and tomato. I had tried their beef teheri and the boneless version of their beef kalovuna and give it a thumbs up. The sweets (especially their burfi) were disappointing for how dry they were (both the coconut and gazar were like chalk). Star wise, I'd have to give them a 4 for the food I've tried, but the overall 3 is for the lackluster service. Despite having come here a number of times, it's never been the warmest of encounters. The prices are pretty decent and the flow of the crowd is steady throughout the week. While they take CC, cash is always king.

Indeed, the deeply rich (garishth) tandoori chai is the reason to visit this small dhaba on C.I. Avenue (I just wish they served it in a kulhad). It was breakfast time so we ordered halwa puris - the puris were extremely oily. The chole and halwa were both not bad, although I really just don't understand the need for food coloring in sooji halwa. Overall somewhere between 3 and 4 stars.

Then they seem to actively encourage said regulars to line the counter in conversation so you can't even pay. Everything was very tasty once we got out of there. Wish they had the variety they purport to have online. Mostly it was just pistachio and walnut baklava and similar variants. Such variety online did not exist in person.

Absolute Disgrace of a Business - Unacceptable Substitutions and Zero Customer Service!…read moreI am completely shocked and furious by the absolute lack of professionalism, basic courtesy, and competence at this place. I paid $12 for a Chocolate Soufflé (Lava Cake), which explicitly states on the menu that it is a hot baked item served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Instead of delivering what I paid for, the kitchen unilaterally decided to scoop plain chocolate ice cream into a regular, unlabeled plastic delivery cup, which arrived completely melted into a warm liquid. To make matters worse, they apparently were completely sold out of the savory cheese pastry I actually ordered, as well as the two bottles of Lemon Snapple I ordered for my friend's kids. Rather than picking up the phone to call me out of basic courtesy to offer a refund or an alternative, they silently threw a random spinach stick into the bag--an item that isn't even on their delivery menu. Even worse, instead of the Lemon Snapple, they substituted apple juice, which the children are extremely allergic to. The staff at this bakery carelessly endangered the health and well-being of children and completely wasted my money. They then tossed in a random chunk of chocolate cherry cake without my consent, clearly using a freebie to cover up the fact that they completely ripped me off on my actual order. Furthermore, packing hot food into delivery containers with completely fractured, smashed plastic lids is a major safety hazard. Sending random dairy and high-sugar items to a customer without checking is a serious liability. You do not treat paying customers like a dumping ground for whatever leftovers happen to be sitting in your display cases at the end of a Friday shift. I will never order from here again. If you cannot fulfill an order accurately, do the professional thing: cancel the item and issue a refund. This business takes customers' money and refuses to deliver what was paid for. DO NOT TRUST THIS DISHONEST ESTABLISHMENT WITH YOUR ORDER!

I tried the chicken and pork shawarma wrapped in lavash, and it was massive. For about $15, it left me completely stuffed. They press the sandwich on a grill, which gives the bread a nice crispy toast--definitely adds to the experience. I actually went back the very next day and just got the chicken, which I liked even more. That said, I really wish they offered lamb--if they added that to the menu and had a proper seating area, I'd bump this up to 5 stars. I get that space is limited, but there are two outdoor tables where you can stand and eat (though they are a bit wobbly). Service was excellent both times, friendly and efficient. Overall, a great little spot if you're craving shawarma and don't mind standing while you eat.
