The food was absolutely amazing. I appreciate that the restaurant made a substitution for one of the items instead of just refunding me. The fish was tender and flavorful. The bones are large and easy to pick out. The bhorta was good and spicy. It came with 3 types and all were good. I loved the Ruhi, Koi, or Pangas, Any Two Bhorta, Daal or Mixed Vegetable meal. It's such a good deal and I'll definitely be ordering it again. The Singara/Vegetable Samosa 1 pc and Chicken Samosa 1 pc were great. I don't usually eat Chicken Samosa but my item was out of stock. The Cup doi was delicious and creamy in middle, kind of like a mixture of flan and condensed milk.

Their store is just the best! It's super clean and hygienic, and the food is made with so much love. Plus, it's not oily or greasy at all - it's perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. You have to try their chicken roast and egg omelette, they're just perfection!

I've never reviewed a place before, but this was so good I had to leave a review. I went basic with my first order, Butter Chicken, Cheese Naan, and Chicken Samosa 1 pc. All three were really delicious, taste was nice and fresh. Nothing was too oily either. I ordered this at like 10:45pm, when a lot of places wouldn't put effort still. Will for sure be having this place again. Damn. One of the best restaurants in the 518

Everything was hot and fresh when it arrived. I was expecting rice to come with the Butter Chicken but nonetheless it was good a hint of sweetness threw the taste off for me but everyone has different taste buds. The Garlic Naan was good but only comes with 1 giant piece which is nice but definitely feel like it should be cheaper price. The Gulab Jamun 6pcs was amazing and had the perfect amount of syrup would definitely order again.

TLDR: order from here If you like authentic spicy Desi food
Firstly, I want you all to know that this is my first ever written review.
I am not your average white guy. I have many friends from the subcontinent and surrounding countries, and not only have I eaten home cooked Desi food often, but I don't think there's any main restaurant in the area that I have not tried.
This food was SUPERB. It has the home cooked feel, and is authentic I can assure you. It is Bangladeshi food, so may be slightly different to what you're used to, but it's excellent. It is definitely on the spicy side (which should be expected from authentic food) but it's worth every burning sensation I can assure you.
Portions were decent, nothing crazy on either end. I would skip the Mango Lassi next time around, but that's the only critique I could give.
Please give this a try if you are looking for authentic Desi food
