" This cafe was a delightful surprise! The moment I stepped in, I was welcomed with a warm smile from the owner, who instantly made me feel at home. I ordered the Nihari and it was simply divine! The spices reminded me of my grandmother’s cooking back in Bangladesh. The restaurant is very clean, which is a huge plus in my book. I’ll definitely make it a point to return to try more from their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Authentic Bangladeshi food at its best! I dined here with my family and we were thoroughly impressed with both the quality of the food and the service. I recommend the Beef Tehari, it was superbly seasoned. The atmosphere was cozy and had a homelike feel, which made our dining experience even better. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. Highly recommend for anyone craving real Bangladeshi flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Bornali Cafe after hearing great reviews and I was not disappointed. The Kacchi Biryani was absolutely phenomenal; just the right amount of spices and the meat was tender. I could tell it was cooked with passion. The owner was incredibly friendly as well, which added to the overall experience. However, I found the seating a bit cramped, which can be a downside if you’re going with a large group. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to my visit and it did not disappoint! The Kacchi Biryani was genuinely one of the best I've had in New Jersey. It’s clear they focus on authenticity and taste. The decor is simple, but that didn’t matter to us. The service was very accommodating. I’ll be back to try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had a wonderful meal at Bornali Cafe. We ordered the malai chop for dessert, and it was divine! The flavors were so balanced and it wasn't overly sweet like others we’ve had. The owner’s hospitality is a big bonus, making sure we were happy and comfortable throughout our meal. I can see us making this a regular spot for family dinners. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just average. The food was just alright, did not quite live up to the high expectations I had. I found the prices to be on the higher side for what I received. While the service was polite, I wouldn't rush back any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" This cafe exceeded my expectations! Not only was the food flavorful, but the ambiance was perfect for a family outing. The Malai Chop was light and pleasant. I had ordered some traditional sweets to take home, and they were delicious too. I appreciate the owner’s attention to detail. " (*Curated Review*)
