" Boishakhi Restaurant has built itself a reputation for serving authentic Bangladeshi dishes, and it certainly lives up to it. I ordered a range of foods for a mini feast on my last visit. The traditional beef kabab was juicy and flavorful, the fried egg rolls were crispy, and every item tasted fresh, as if it was made just for me. My only issue was the long wait for food on a busy evening, but the quality overshadowed this drawback. I will absolutely return to try more of their specialties!

" I recently visited Boishakhi Restaurant with high expectations due to the rave reviews I had heard. Upon entering, I was immediately immersed in the authentic ambiance. The menu was a delightful array of traditional Bangladeshi dishes, and I ordered the goat biryani and chicken curry. While the biryani was good, the chicken curry was simply divine, bursting with flavor while encapsulating the true essence of Bangladeshi cuisine. I also appreciated the freshness of the naan bread. While the service was a bit slow due to the dinner crowd, the staff were attentive and polite. I left the restaurant fully satisfied and eager to come back again, especially for the chicken curry. Overall, a lovely experience. My rating: Overall: 4, Authenticity: 5, Service: 3, Atmosphere: 4, Portion: 4. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had another great experience at Boishakhi Restaurant. The food is consistently delicious and authentic. My favorite was the spicy chicken curry, which was cooked just right, not overly spicy but still flavorful. The service tends to be quick; however, it can feel hectic during busy hours. Nevertheless, I always leave satisfied. This is definitely worth a visit for anyone seeking authentic Bangladeshi food! Overall: 5, Authenticity: 5, Service: 4, Atmosphere: 4. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch at Boishakhi last week, and I was quite satisfied with my experience. The cleanliness of the restaurant stood out, and the staff were helpful in guiding me through the menu. I tried the chicken dhansak along with some basmati rice, and it was lovely—a nice blend of spices and very tender chicken. However, it was a bit greasy for my liking. The naan was soft and freshly made. I recommend this place for anyone wanting casual yet delicious Bangladeshi fare, but just be ready for a possible wait if it’s busy. Overall: 4, Authenticity: 4, Service: 4, Atmosphere: 4. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time trying Bangladeshi food and I have to say, I was impressed! The staff at Boishakhi were incredibly friendly and helped me understand the variety of dishes on offer. I went for a mixed platter that included various curries alongside biryani. While some curries were a bit on the spicy side for my taste, they were well-made and fresh. I particularly loved the bhorta—the flavors were just spot on! It did take some time for the food to come out, but the wait was worth it. I would definitely recommend Boishakhi to anyone wanting to explore authentic Bangladeshi cuisine. Overall: 4, Authenticity: 4, Service: 3, Atmosphere: 4. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just recently discovered Boishakhi and I might have found my new favorite restaurant! I tried the chicken biryani based on a friend's recommendation, and it blew my mind. The spices were flavorful, and the portion was generous. I also had a taste of the shorshe ilish—so rich and luxurious! The service was friendly, though a little chaotic. Despite that, the overall experience was superb, and I’m planning to bring my family on my next visit. Overall: 5, Authenticity: 5, Service: 4, Atmosphere: 5. " (*Curated Review*)

" Frustrating service but great food sums up my experience at Boishakhi. I ordered the kacchi biryani, and it was sensational—the best I’ve had outside of Bangladesh! The spices were delightful, and the portion was hearty. The restaurant was packed, which might explain the delays. I would highly recommend this place just for the food alone, as the taste is unbeatable! Overall: 4, Authenticity: 5, Service: 3, Atmosphere: 4. " (*Curated Review*)
