" Authenticity at its finest! The Kacchi Biryani transported me back to Bangladesh. This is a hidden gem that I would recommend to anyone looking to indulge in true Bangladeshi cuisine. Service was prompt, and the owner truly cares about the customer experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not a fan! I really wanted to like this place, but the food didn't taste fresh; the fried rice was undercooked, and the chicken rolls were just sad. The only redeeming quality was the quick service. I wish I could give a better review after all the hype. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this restaurant due to the glowing reviews, but I left feeling somewhat letdown. The food, while decent, didn’t live up to the authenticity I was hoping for. The butter chicken tasted more bland than I expected. However, the owner was very accommodating and friendly, so the service was top notch. Maybe I'll give it another shot in the future for different dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a taste test at Bornali Cafe. This place was buzzing with locals enjoying the food. The Nihari was especially good, full of spices that made my taste buds dance! The service was a bit slow due to the busy atmosphere, but it was worth the wait. I left happy and satisfied! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful find! The atmosphere is casual, and the menu is reflective of authentic Bangladeshi food. The Seafood dishes here reminded me of my time living there. I highly recommend the Bhuna and the sweets! Can’t wait to return for more. " (*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*)
