" Wonderful ambiance and truly authentic Bengali dishes! I particularly loved the Biyebarir Fish Fry—so flaky and seasoned perfectly. Service was welcoming and efficient, although it did take some time for our orders to arrive. The restaurant was busy which made the atmosphere vibrant. I am glad I took the time to dine here! Will return for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" This has been a favorite spot for me and my friends. The service is always spot on, the food is what I’d call comfort food and authentic Bengali at that! I often get the thali to share—I find it the best way to experience various dishes. The atmosphere is lively and fun, perfect for a casual dinner night. Can’t recommend it enough!
