A unique experience of bengali food cooked without chilies. Loved the machchar bhongto which is fish in an automatic lentil curry with the traditional panch phoran spice. Wish we were more hungry to have tried other dishes

Visited a Bangladeshi restaurant for the first time... And I was not dissapointed.... The food was super delicious. We tried the garlic mushrooms for entree along with mixed bhajee (pakodas) { the chef was generous enough to send in pakodas as complimentary} along with lamb shak and shukta. I must say that I fell in love with the lamb. It's a must have. Overall the meal was great.. The staff amazing. We met the boss..... Who was the sweetest host on earth. A must visit.

The food was great, totally different experience from any Indian food. Nice presentation and exotic flavours. The only downside for mecwas that desert (cottage cheese dumplings w icecream) were not made from scratch and for a $12 to $15 tiny desert, I guess more dedication is needed.

A truly wonderful experience I would entirely recommend this place to anyone if you would like to try Bangladesh food. I am told it's the only one of its type in New Zealand and that all the recipes are the owner's mother.The food was superb the service great e.g. folding napkins and placing them appropriately on our laps. A very nicely coloured restaurant with a light background music playing with a Bangaledesh flavour.If you looking for a unique night out then I strongly recommend coming to this restaurant.The music is Koto traditional Japanese.

Heaven and healthy! Went to have dinner with my best friend at around 9pm. There’s only one other group of customer so it almost feels like we’ve rented the place. The manager, Christopher, was so attentive and very welcoming. I immediately liked the place even without the food yet. But, the food, it’s divine! We ordered the today’s special which I can’t remember the names (pork and a chicken menu) but when he recited them, they already sounded delicious. They are freshly prepared so don’t go there if you’re not up to waiting for a good 10-15 minutes. The ambiance is another plus, very posh and neat. On top of that, Christopher even gave us complementary mango lassi which is a star!!! I highly recommend this Bangladesh restaurant.

This is my nice treat-myself dinner location. The food is simply delicious.Don't expect generic 'indian' food, because this is far more subtle (which is a bonus if you have non-spicy food lovers to cater towards) using what I feel is better ingredients than the standard.Pair that with the excellent service from Christopher (you'll know him from the kindnesses when he greets you) and the other staff, and I feel it is one of the best dining experiences available at a reasonable price.Speaking of pricing, I have seen other reviews mention the food being expensive, not including 'free rice' etc.I think they went in expecting standard Indian food. And again, this certainly isn't. I would consider it better. It's a treat. Something to savour and enjoy, both the food and the service. Treat yourself if you like good food.The included image is of the pork special & delicious Nabanno salad (includes apple, nectarine, capsicum, mushroom..surprisingly nice!)
