NJ's Kitchen Bangladeshi Restaurant

Super friendly staff, delicious meal, and fair price.

The food is good but the quantity can seriously be more. I would give 4 stars if the improved their quantities.

Best Bengali Food restaurant on this side of Atlantic

Exceptional service combined with rich, flavorful Indian-Bengali dishes that truly hit home. Every bite felt like a celebration of authentic taste and warm hospitality!

excellent. only real Bangladeshi food you can have in St. John’s. also they have Indian Thai and Fusion middle eastern foods in their menu. highly recommended.

Worst experience ever at a restaurant. Went there for Iftar. They sat us at a table meant for two and we were 4 even though bigger tables were available. Ordered ahead only find they mixed up and gave it to another table. Told us to wait 15 min approx to prep and came back to tell us some items are not available anymore. No sorry no nothing. Only one lady working , so severely short stuffed. Overall a disappointing experience. Food was okay at best.

Update after owners response: I don’t appreciate you lying about us being walk ins. You’re mixing us with someone else. We did pre order before coming in and made reservations. We got proof of phone call so let’s not go there. I don’t know what else you want us to do? We followed what you wanted and ordered ahead of time cause it’s Iftar. Being a muslim myself I have tremendous respect for my fellow brothers and sisters but that don’t excuse the poor service we’ve received. This is not a professional response at all.

10/10 recommend for iftar!

Worst food, was given fish sticks as fish in Thai sauce, old food that was just being heated for the buffet serving time.

What an absolutely dreadful experience. I’ve dined at numerous Indian restaurants, but I’ve never encountered anything quite as appalling as this place. I went for lunch with some friends and ordered the Chicken Roast served with Saffron Pilau Rice, expecting a delicious meal. Instead, I was thoroughly disappointed.

The chicken was dry and visibly overcooked – as you can clearly see in the photo. As for the rice, it was an absolute travesty. Pilau rice is meant to be light and fluffy, with distinct grains, but what I was served resembled a sloppy mess. It was mushy, almost as if someone had pounded the rice into a paste.

I brought this to the attention of the staff, but they shrugged it off, claiming the entire batch was like that and there was nothing they could do. Shockingly, there wasn’t even an apology, and they still charged me for the meal in full despite me leaving most of it untouched.

When I mentioned the incident to a colleague who had recommended this place, she was equally surprised and assured me it shouldn’t have looked or tasted like that.

I’d strongly advise giving this place a miss and finding another Indian restaurant that knows how to prepare proper food and treat customers with respect. I hope this review saves someone else from a similarly disappointing experience.
Cheers!

I went there for my husband's birthday and opted for the $36+ taxes buffet!

It was the worst buffet of my life!
It was mostly grocery ready-to-eat food heated up and served with sauces - may it be wings or prawn pop corn, naan or samosa!!!

Plus if u didn't finish ur food, they charged you $10 to pack it and $5 to throw it!!!!!!!!

They only cooked the rice in-house and mixed the same rice with sauce to call it biryani, with vegetables and soy sauce to call it pulav and with a few colored rice to call it safron rice!!!

The entire dessert section was also bought from the groceries and served - browny from seemingly about to expire browny box, rasgulla and gulab jamun from a canned grocery store.

Landed up paying $80 plus tip for a meal from the grocery store! Do not go to this restaurant to eat EVER!

Very lack luster and deceiving!! Moreover it spoiled our special day :(

They have lots of vegan options and it did not disappoint. The spice level was just right for me but folks who are not use to spicy food might have a hard time lol walked from memorial university in August and it was nice. Check them out

Unfortunately my Uber eats curry was not creamy and super hot, although I ordered mild. And no vegetables at all 🥺 rice + naan and hot tofu and it’s very dry
If you offer naan maybe there should be something where you dip it!

Vegetarian options: Vegan butter chicken

Friendly
