Boishakhi Restaurant Astoria

This has to be the worst bengali restaurant I ever been to. I don’t know what the hype is but food is trash.

Service quality decides if I return. The rest of the food was excellent, with spices I typically avoid. The employees handle tasks quickly and respectfully. It was an incredible experience!! I passed along praise for this restaurant.

I found the food good. My experience is the same good level each time. The chef uses fresh ingredients, seasons well, and cooks everything properly. The workers were very knowledgeable and kind. This spot demonstrated real quality.

Food was authentic, but the recipes could be better. I expected more flavorful aromas, but the food here is kept simpler, but still tasty enough. The service and atmosphere is not particularly tasteful, but could use a redecoration and hospitality training. Overall a solid choice for Bangladeshi cuisine, but not worth an hour subway ride.

Doesn't matter how good the food or restaurant is if the service is trash. The servers here are so rude, IF you are female. I'd let it go if it were only on one occasion but this has happened multiple times and not just with me. And it ONLY happens with all the females in my family. NEVER with my husband, brothers, father or sons.

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.

We ordered catering from Boishakhi for a wedding event in Boston and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The food was absolutely delicious - all of our guests were impressed and kept complimenting the quality. You could tell everything was made fresh that day, and the taste was outstanding.

From the start, they were extremely professional in helping us plan the menu and coordinating the delivery for the event date. Everything went smoothly and on time. The pricing, including the delivery charge, was very reasonable - especially compared to other Boston and NYC caterers we’ve tried in the past. Honestly, the quality and flavor here were far better, and the value was unbeatable.

We had ordered for 120 people, but they generously provided enough food for well over 150 guests, which really showed their care and commitment. The portions were plentiful, the presentation was excellent, and the overall service was top-notch.

Will highly recommended for any big event!

You have to go to the counter to place your order, and even after calling several times the staff often ignore you. Service is almost nonexistent. Yet, at the end, they add a 15% service charge to the bill as if it’s a fine dining experience. Service is poor but the charge is there.

Amazing and delicious food!!! I’m really sad I got super full and couldn’t eat everything… All the employees are lovely and the owner and her son are so sweet as well. The restaurant is beautiful inside!! I’m excited to come back and try more dishes!!!! ❤️

There’s food is so much awsom other then Sout asian restaurant.

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.

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.

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.

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.
