I'm not sure I would recommend Panshi as one of the top tier Bengali restaurants on Hillside Avenue, as the food was extremely oily and the service left something to be desired. But on a Ramzan night when most of the other establishments were closed for private iftar parties, we found a table here and acceptable dinner offerings.For vegetarians, I would highly recommend the karela (bitter gourd) potato sabzi. Karela is controversial as far as veggies are concerned given the namesake pronounced bitter aftertaste, but Panshi's technique of generously drowning the gourd in mustard oil removed any misgivings I may have harbored. The potato was also very tender, and I appreciated the waitstaff's recommendation to pair the sabzi with white rice rather than the equally oily pulav.Their fried foods for iftar were also good, especially the aloo chop.

THEAVES & SCAMMERS!!! Gave us the wrong stuff & still overcharged us by $15. Never go here again

I'm concerned at how unsafe and unsanitary this place is. Normally I don't care if the inside of a restaurant has bad surroundings if the food is good. Because in the end we're here to eat so that's always my top priority. However, when you sit down in a restaurant and the table is sticky it gives you a bad impression from the start. Either way, we still gave it a chance. The food is very cheap. We only got snacks like samosa for appetizer. We also got a bowl of chicken,shrimp Thai soup. The samosa tasted pretty good but the soup. Oh man, did you ever bite into a chicken and you can literally taste the chicken in a bad way?? Thats how it tasted like. Like raw chicken before you cook it. It was bad. I almost threw up. For entree we got beef biriyani which was also awful. The beefs taste didnt suit with me. It was dry and had a weird taste. Overral I didnt like the experience at all. Only gave it 2 stars because of the samosas. Careful for what you order.

1st time I came this restaurant. I don't know this restaurant service is very bad. I was talking about items prices. Price is too high. She talking bad behavior. She say next time don't came here. Is not good talking about this business. Remember it for Panshi Restaurant Manager or Owner. Thanks

Usually I don't leave bad reviews but literally one of the worse experiences ever in this area. I walked in just to get a Mango Lassi, and the staff saw me and just ignored me. This lasted a good 10 minutes. At first I didn't mind because they might have been fulfilling online orders. But even with no one else ordering in person, they chose to ignore me. I left without anything. I came back again about a month later and they do the same thing to me again, and other people were on line with me but they ignored me entirely. Never coming back here.

Thieves. I came here just to get some snacks for my mother and myself as I forgot to get in Jackson heights as i usually do. But here my puri came broken and half of it missing!!! And that's unacceptable. to think I was almost okay with him charging me 6 dollars. (he took my card and told me after) In all, was charged $6.50 for ONE broken burnt half-puri and 2 roshugulla. which meant i paid 1.50 for half a puri DONT GO HERE

Terrible food, horrible price, very dirty kitchen, customer service is really bad, food is not good. Sanitation grade pending for this restaurant long time. The most dirtiest restaurant I ever seen in Hillside Jamaica.

Awesome

Thieves and Cheaters! Terrible staff!! Charges more than the menu price. Gives wrong items. Then refuses to give refund for over payment. Absolutely trash food and disgrace as Bangladeshi

Very fast delivery! The egg fried rice was super peppery, almost to excess. I love spicy food so it was not a problem, but just fyi if you don't care for spice. The texture was very good, not too soft. Vegetable singara/ samosa was very tasty! It had boiled peanuts inside which was unexpected, but absolutely delicious to me! (I want more boiled peanuts omg! Yum!) However, this should probably be labeled in case anyone has allergies.
One of the best destinations for Bangladeshi foods. Open 24/4 . Street parking available. Excellent customer service. Wide range of mouth watering food menus. Large deserts section. Home delivery available . Highly recommended.

Poor management. The few girls that works here are very rude and nasty. They overcharge on every item. The price especially on the fish, they randomly make up and charge the customers
