$7 for a half a pint of chicken tikka masala. No rice. No naan or bread. Mostly sauce. 3 pieces of chicken. No thanks. Ive been wanting to try this place for awhile now and never have I been so disappointed with food to-go. They didn't even ask me if I wanted rice! I just assumed it came with it. Not returning.
Super clean place. The staff is friendly too. Everyone on here recommended the fish curry, which is good but I recommend the kacci biryani – the lamb is tender and has crispy pieces of fried onion to provide contrast. Muglai paratha is a new dish to me – fried paratha filled with egg and mince meat mixture. Almost like a panini in shape. It was very good as well but we just had too much food so couldn't finish it. Oh just as FYI, the wait time on the muglai paratha could be long.
I was hoping to try something different, so I opted to find the closest Bangladeshi restaurant to East Elmhurst. Dhaka Garden in Jackson Heights was the place.
I was very fortunate to find a parking space. Parking in this area is very difficult, don't expect to drop by on your lunch hour by car and get lucky.
The restaurant itself is nicely designed and doesn't at all look like a dive. The ambient music is also ok.
The waitress was nice enough. She even put my bread in a small bag after we left. She's busy which made the wait time up, but good and well-meaning.
My problem is that there seems to be a grand total of ONE item on the menu that could pass as a vegetarian entree.
When I asked the waitress about their vegetarian entrees she stares at me blankly and rattled on about chicken, beef, and goat. I felt like I was the first person to ever ask that question in this restaurant. So I got the vegetable curry with some nan bread.
The man bread was ok. The vegetable curry was also ok. The latter consisted of a few pieces of cauliflower, potato, and string beans. And the way it felt so hot temperature-wise, and dry, I suspect it was in the microwave. Mine cost $7.00.
My father is not a vegetarian, so he samples done of their lunch specials (goat) which cost $12.00. I thought that was significantly too much for food of this scale and quality, especially food which we suspected to be microwaved. I don't think he found it to be worth it.
On the way out we saw someone with a big fish platter and my father decided that's what he should have ordered.
Overall, service is nice and well meaning, food is overpriced and mediocre, and lacks sufficient vegetarian options. I wont be back. 2.5 stars is generous.
