I had no expectations. I just wanted a place to eat before a movie. What a lovely surprise Atithi was. The restaurant looked plain until I saw the menu. What unusual and delicious food. We returned the very next night. The split garbanzo beans were great, as were both fish dishes. I recommend paratha with pepper dip also. Go!

Ordered ilish tail vorta and beef curry. The ilish vorta barely had any fish in it, heated in a microwave. And the beef curry was overly sweet and clearly not fresh, it tasted like leftover food reheated in a microwave too.
The flavors were terrible, and we honestly felt sick after a few bites. As Bangladeshis, this was embarrassing and disappointing. Wanted to try more dishes, but after this, we just stopped. Total waste of money.

One item from the ordered food was not available, did not get any refund which was paid already and the manager in the restaurant has no way to compensate for the unavailable item, kept the phone number to return a call to send the refund, call was never made. Tried beef burger which was juicy and well made, beef tehari was not tehari rather it was prepared by mixing polao rice with cooked beef, quite unsatisfying experience overall.

Terrible food. Went on Tuesday afternoon for lunch. Ordered the Ilish fish. Had no flavor, clearly the fish and gravy were cooked separately.

Just checked out this new Bangladeshi spot that just opened up. The staff said it used to be an Indian restaurant, but honestly, I was really impressed with the service — super friendly and quick. The food was really good too, maybe even some of the best Bangladeshi dishes I’ve had, better than a lot of other places I’ve tried, including some Indian spots. They have many options for meat, vegetarian, or vegan on the menu. The prices are also very fair for the quality and portions. Definitely will be coming back!

This place has nice photos on its site of the menu. The real menu has no pictures. Reservations on line like for a very high class, popular restaurant. The place is a hole in the wall type. The food was far below expectations and not satisfactory. Meat on pieces of small bones. Much of it not eatable. The rice heated in micro with the bowl. Prices are very high for compared to better restaurants of its type. Professional advertising.

Lunch was freshly cooked and delicious. A large portion for the price.

We would like to point out a few issues with our experience.

You gave us a 10% discount and 2 desserts for a group of 8. While we appreciated the gesture and said thank you, it’s worth noting that the 10% discount is already offered to anyone ordering through your app — so this was not really a special favor to us.

However, the overall experience was disappointing. The price and the quality of the food did not match. We found a hair in the food, which is unacceptable and does not meet proper food safety standards. Everyone in our group ordered the same dish, yet the portion sizes were inconsistent. The taste of the food was also underwhelming and did not feel authentic.

When we raised these concerns, you responded by saying that since we consumed the food, what did we expect — should we have said the food was bad and walked away? That is not how good customer service works. We informed you of the issues in good faith, and despite the poor experience, we still paid for everything we ordered.

We hope you take this feedback seriously and work on improving your food quality, hygiene, and customer service

Update:
We did mention to your staff that we found a hair in the food — so please stop lying. Whatever god you believe in is watching how dishonestly you’re treating your customers.

If you want to run a restaurant, you need to welcome your customers and serve quality food — and be able to accept honest, negative feedback when things go wrong. If you can’t take that, you shouldn’t be in business.

It’s people like you — who spoil the name of Bangladeshi food with poor service and bad attitude — who make the cuisine look bad.

We said the truth, and we stand by it. Please reflect on how you treat your customers.
