We did a Queens food crawl of five restaurants and this was one of them. In fact, it was probably…read moremy favorite one. When you're the only person who looks like you in the place and you're surrounded by brown people speaking other languages, you've likely found an authentic place with great food. Ittadi was definitely that place. They have a huge buffet of food, TONS of options, but you can also tell the food is fresh. And the place was so busy that you know the food didn't sit long and was refreshed often. We tried the coconut samosa, which was large in size. It was the perfect combo of savory and sweet. We also had the egg chop, which is a hard boiled egg covered in spicy mashed potatoes and fried in a crispy breadcrumb coating. It was super spicy (in a good way) and delish. It came with a side of onions and greenery. We also had the haleem, which is a comfort dish, made of lentils. It was so warm and filling. Absolutely delicious. The employees/owners were so kind. They were really invested in us liking our food. When we didn't eat everything, they were concerned, but we told them we were on a food crawl and had to save space, otherwise we would have devoured everything. Again, this was my favorite place of the whole crawl, and I would make the trek back over to Queens just for this food.

When I first saw this restaurant , I thought it's the original popular brand from Bangladesh. But…read morethen 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.

The food is exceptionally delicious, with different levels of spice so you don't have to sacrifice flavor. Their biryani options are top notch, and not too dry! And their meat stews and curries are full flavored and nuanced. The tables and seating are spacious and comfortable and very clean. I cannot stress enough HOW RARE this is for Jackson Heights. You can not ask for a better location for a group dinner! We paid about $50 per person and had enough leftovers for 2 more meals. Would love to come back here again!

Just homely Bengali food. Not restaurant types... Don't go with so many expectations…read more I have heard about this from my Bengali friends, though I am not Bengali I just love Bengali food, much much variety which I never saw in other cuisines. Don't get me started on fish types and their various preparation. I knew it's not a proper restaurant so my expectation was not like that. We went there with 3 other Bengali friends. You have to go to counter to see all the food items and then you can choose whatever you want. We ordered so many things, alu-chokha-baigan bharta- alu bhaja- mutton curry- ilish mach-prawn curry- some fish with gobhi- fish fry Out table was not sufficient for keeping all the dishes. My fellow Bengali friends were really happy to see this and we liked the food. Yup, we liked it. As it was more like home food and not fancy Bengali restaurant type. Everything was bringing memories from Kolkata homes. And it is not even expensive. Every item was from $4-$12. We four were there and it was $72 only and we had 6-7 dishes. Only bad thing is that from Jersey City to Queens, we had to change 2 paths, so one person it is $11 for both ways. So we spent $44 to come here and have this food. Was it worth it? I would say NO. but yes, once in while you can come.

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.

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.

This has been my go to cart for years now. They usually give 8 per plate, but one time I came with…read moretwo other people and they gave us a 9th for no extra charge so that we wouldn't have to split any of them. Their hospitality and their consistency is what keeps me going back to them. I am a huge lover of fuchkas and pani puri and I always have to debate on which one to get, but at this cart, I always end up getting everything. I simply can't say no to a plate of pani puri. Their dahi puri is by far, my favorite. The dahi yogurt just adds this creaminess and the tanginess from the tamarind just ties everything together. It really reminds me of a famous fuchka shop back in Bangladesh. I have been craving that flavor and finding this cart made the long search end. I also love the authentic street food vibe of this cart. It's a cart in the busiest parts of Jackson Heights and they offer stools to sit on just like the spots back in Bangladesh. I honestly love coming here for a late night bite and it's even better during Chand Raat (the night before Eid) because it's extremely busy but the vibe is so fun and reminds you of street markets.

The area is swamped with Bangladeshi, Nepalese, Pakistani and indian food and shops, and if you are out with a family, this may not be the place to go as there is absolutely no seating in there. This is strictly a take out place. The food is delicious, specially the chicken kababs. Their Haleem and Nihari also is probably the best in the area. The first time, I just walked in by accident just to see what this place was. After having a conversation with their main chef, he tempted me to try their Haleem as a taste test and the rest is history. From there on, whenever I am in Jackson heights, I pick up food from here. The cuisine and style is mostly from Karachi, the spice level is a bit on the higher side, but if you really want to exercise your taste buds, this is the place to go. Downside: Parking is tough in that neighborhood as it is so crowded. You may have to circle around to find parking at a bit distant.

We initially tried a more "popular" restaurant but unfortunately there was no seating left. We tried to scramble and find another restaurant and found Dhaka Garden. For the iftar special you can select one of their premade boxes with channa, some fried vegetables (eggplant and cauliflower), a date, biryani, some pakoras and a jelabi. You can also select a la crate items from their buffet menu like kebabs, tandoor chicken etc. We ordered some naan, kebabs, haleem, and mango lassi. We loved the kebabs, naan and pakoras. We couldn't finish everything so we ended up taking most of it home. The service here was great throughout from everyone there especially as they were fasting as well. They always made sure we had everything from utensils and fresh toppings for the haleem. I would definitely come back here to support this business!
