The butter chicken was excellent! I had higher expectations for the flavor of the chicken biryani, but it was still enjoyable. I'm looking forward to trying the pomfret to see how it tastes!

I was eager to savor some pomfret, so I picked this restaurant because it's known for its authentic Bangladeshi cuisine. I traveled 14 miles to get here, and the meal did not let me down at all. I absolutely loved the flavors of the pomfret paired with jasmine rice. The ambience is pleasant, and this spot is a paradise for meat and seafood enthusiasts.

As a Bengali and a Bangladeshi, I am truly proud and delighted to discover this Bengali restaurant in the heart of Dallas. I had their Special Beef Tehari and Dhakaia Biryani, and I was overwhelmed by the authenticity of their Bengali biryani dishes! It felt like I was transported back to Bangladesh! This is the highest praise I can give to a restaurant in the US. The food is simply amazing! I'm eager to try their kabab items next time! Their chai is also delicious, but one suggestion I would make is to serve it in traditional tea cups, like they do in Bangladesh. It would be a lovely touch! Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant.

We ordered several dishes for take out. The chicken lollipop or butterfly chicken was raw inside. It wasn’t undercooked. It was raw. I had already taken a bite, when I noticed, because the texture was so strange. We live 20 minutes away, but we’retold we needed to bring it back for a replacement. Why would I want a replacement? I called and told them that I didn’t wantanyone else to get sick, and was concerned about the well being of their restaurant. The managers (I spoke with more than one)were extraordinarily rude, and didn’t believe that their chicken could be raw. They refused a refund without seeing thechicken. While I understand why, I can’t believe the arrogance and the lack of concern about something that’s a big deal.Raw chicken is no joke. Additionally, the quality of their food has gone downhill. While it’s always been hit or miss, it’sgotten worse. *Response to owner -The managers didn’t understand me, and were patronizing from the beginning of ourconversations. I didn’t threaten to close the store. I said that I had called out of concern of what would happen if someonegot sick, as I wouldn’t want their store to be shut down. I said that after their responses, I no longer cared whether theirstore was shut down. His response to this was that I was threatening him. He told me I could bring the chicken back for areplacement. I told him I don’t want a replacement, this belongs in the toilet. He laughed at me and asked how I could bringit back if it was in the toilet. I’m sorry that he didn’t take the time to process what I said. I didn’t ask for a refundfor the whole meal, just the chicken. The managers’ said that they don’t know whether their people are being truthful, asthey have been cheated before. While I understand that they’ve had bad experiences, and I’m sorry about that. I think it’sunfortunate that they approach their customers with an assumption of dishonesty. It’s disrespectful to us.
