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. - John Lin
