What to order: Beef Rib dinner with Mac n Cheese and Collard Greens · Fried Whiting dinner · Fried Chicken (3 Pieces)Ate here several times. And have tried a myriad of items. The only thing I didn't like is that they pile everything into one box. So this last time ordering GrubHub I put in the comments to please seperate everything. IT WAS PERFECT. Thank you so much for separating all my items out!! Very good food have eaten the ox tails, pork ribs, lima beans, mashed taters, green beans, mac n cheese, chocolate cake (slice could have been bigger but it was good). And of course the cornbread is perfect.

What to order: kala buna · biryaniAmong the restaurants catering to the Bangladeshi community in Jamaica, Queens, Pansi stands out as one of the most prominent options. The quality of the food here is comparatively high; although some individuals—possibly due to business rivalry—have attempted to tarnish the establishment's reputation, we have been dining here for a long time and have yet to encounter any flaws in the food. If we ever do encounter an issue, we address it directly with the owner, who takes immediate action to res

What to order: 3 Pc Chicken w Biscuit · 10 Pc Fiery Wings · Classic Chicken SandwichFood is pretty good, but the service can be stagnant and slow. Slow enough for me to be slightly bothered by it. I still give the review a 4 star because the food is definitely on point. I'd advise ordering from the app ahead of time if time is something you can't afford to waste. Even though I can't fully guarantee that because I haven't used the app as of yet. I hope it works in your favor.

What to order: Achari chicken · Beef Bihari Kebab · Chicken Roast · Murog PolaoWaste of Money, Time and Bangladeshi reputation and feelings, NOT RECOMMENDED. Beef Bihari Kabab (20$): it was a somewhat tendered beef with a strange spice and very chili hot, not close to a normal beef Bihari at all. Waste of money. Naan (2$): it was half baked. Ruho Fish (9$): it was again not at all tasty, come-on, in Bangladeshi restaurant you expect at least a decent fish curry, a weird spice is used which does not belong to Bangladesh. Dal (2$): Dal was good in taste. Service: unprof
