Boishakhi Restaurant Astoria

Food was great.Great location. Owner has to be little bit polite with their employees. Price is ok.100% halal.

Best place in Queens for Bangladeshi food! They have authentic Bangladeshi dishes and their service is amazing and fast. Many options for food and overall great atmosphere. Perfect place to get authentic Bangladeshi food and dining.

Awesome tasting paratha made fresh each order!! They have so much good food and the workers are very nice. Highly recommend

Got the opportunity to try their roti with omelet and stewed vegetables (my apology for not really knowing the dishes name Orz) and oh my I can't be more satisfied with this breakfast.<br><br>It reminded me ao much of my favorite Taiwanese breakfast 蔥油蛋餅 and was exactly what I needed.<br><br>Besides, the restaurant is very clean (both 1st floor and basement), the food is super fresh and flavorful (you can really be rejuvenated from a proper meal) and I love the owner Ms. Rimi who is like a sweet motherly figure to everyone coming to her restaurant.<br><br>Definitely recommend and definitely bringing friends here next time I get the chance!!!

Delicious food. Clean dining table & good coffee

Met my Bangladeshi friend for lunch. First time so I asked for recommendations and landed on the fish curry with rice and lentil soup. So good. Warned about the many bones but I didn’t mind. The curry was so flavorful, not too strong but warm and comforting. All the dishes I had tasted like hand made from mothers.<br>You order at the counter and then sit down. They bring you the food and then you pay after you’re done. All very casual. We lingered and had tea. It was a lovely lunch.

We were truly exited to taste their food. The food is authentic but somehow lost flavours. We enjoyed their Teheri but other items were okay.

Authentic Bangladeshi restaurant provides tasty food, kabab and sweets. Restroom and indoor dining available. Meter parking in the area. If you want to taste Bangladeshi food in NYC, I recommend this restaurant. Price also reasonable.

Everything here was good. Not much to be said to be honest. If you look at who's eating here, it is all ethnic people, and a ton of older people as well. That should tell you that this place is definitely authentic. I enjoyed every single dish that I had here; I was recommended to eat at this place by a Bangladeshi friend. I was not disappointed.<br><br>My favorite dishes were the samosas and the chicken lollipops. The chicken lollipops were an Indo-Chinese sort of dish with a savory sauce a crunchy exterior. The samosas were perfectly seasoned and slightly crispy. Tandoori chicken was also excellent and well-seasoned throughout the outside and interior.<br><br>The only fault I could really find was that the biriyanis did not have too strong of a flavor profile, but that is to be expected since it is more so a vessel to eat with the other dishes, which were all amazing. Atmosphere could technically improve but I could care less if they have excellent food.<br><br>I really have no complaints about this place. Upstairs was packed but we were able to eat downstairs and enjoy our large meal. I will definitely remember this spot.

Boishakhi Restaurant Bengali Flavors in the Heart of Astoria<br><br>I stopped by Boishakhi Restaurant in Astoria, and it absolutely hit the mark. Everything we ordered was packed with bold flavor and felt like true Bengali comfort food.<br><br>I started with the Chicken Bihari, and wow it was tender, full of flavor, and far from your average chicken dish. It had a smoky, well-balanced spice that made it anything but boring.<br><br>Then came the Beef Tehari, and it was incredible. The rice was rich, aromatic, and deeply satisfying my taste buds, genuinely happy. The tamarind sauce on the side added the perfect tangy contrast.<br><br>I also tried a samosa, and I immediately wished I had ordered more. It was perfectly flaky with a light crunch, and the filling was flavorful with just a little kick. One was not enough!<br><br>Parking in the area can be a bit of a challenge, but it’s worth it Astoria is full of amazing food spots, and Boishakhi is definitely one of them. We spent about $30 total, which was more than enough for two people (even three could share).<br><br>That’s the beauty of NY so many places like this keeping it real, authentic, and full of heart. If you’re anywhere near Astoria and craving something flavorful and satisfying, make sure Boishakhi is on your list.

Very nice and friendly staff. Bought bae here to experience some more Bengali cousine. We were able to sit and eat instead of taking it to go. It got crowded after we sat down. Stuck to the basics this time.

Boishakhi Restaurant in Astoria offers a delightful experience with its authentic Bangladeshi flavors and fully halal menu. The food is incredibly tasty, capturing the true essence of Bangladeshi cuisine. My initial order of fried rice, noodles, tandoori chicken, and lollipop chicken was so good that I couldn’t resist ordering more—beef Bihari kabab and large tandoori chicken from the display. For takeout, I chose polao, rezala, bharta, and doi, and each dish was perfectly prepared. A must-try is their cha, which is rich and flavorful.<br><br>The service at Boishakhi is exceptional, with staff being quick, polite, and attentive. The upstairs dining area is cozy, providing an intimate atmosphere, while the downstairs space is more open and accommodating for larger groups. Regardless of where you sit, the ambiance is warm and welcoming, making it an excellent spot for both casual dining and family gatherings.<br><br>Hygiene and cleanliness are well-maintained, including their bathrooms, which are spotless and convenient. Boishakhi Restaurant has become one of our favorites for its consistently delicious food and excellent service. It’s a must-visit for anyone seeking authentic Bangladeshi cuisine in Astoria.

This is my family's favorite Bengali restaurant! Whether it's simple takeout or catering orders, they always do a fantastic job. Their prices are very reasonable and the quality of the food is outstanding. I know there are other Bengali restaurants in Queens like in Jackson Heights or Jamaica, but trust me this spot is the best out of all of them. Can't recommend them enough for all that they do to maintain quality and service!!

We took a long drive from NJ to try out some native Bengali food at this restaurant, specially since they made Kacchi (goat) biryani on Saturday. Upon arrival, the first impression is really great, as there are sooo many dishes on display, easily more than 50 items, in different colors and textures. I was pretty mesmerized to see the whole range of items.<br><br>We ordered a variety of items, chicken lollipop, chicken roast, beef resala, kacchi biryani, chicken biryani, halim and kababs. After the order they heat up the items and bring them to the table. Sadly I wasn’t impressed with any of the items. Seemed to me the authentic taste wasn’t there, items were made to tone down the spice and flavor of the dishes. Kacchi was also a lot spicy than we expected. All the meat, specially the beef, was mostly dry and hard to chew. But I Iiked the rice in biryanis. Halim was very chunky, I was expecting ingredients to be well mixed and a smoother curry.<br><br>The first floor tables are decent but the tables and booth in the basement are not in their best shape. The basement area needs some patch up and cleaning to make it more appealing to guests.
