Khaabar Baari - Jackson Heights

If you want to have a taste of home made bengali food, then this is the place for you. This place will not offer you a nice culinary experience, but you can know about some authentic Bengali cuisine with a pocket-friendly price.

Only secretly Bengali Essen. Not restaurant types... don't go with so many expectations I've heard of my Bengali friends, although I'm not Bengali I just love Bengali food, lots of variety I've never seen in other kitchens. Don't let me go for fish and their various preparation. I knew it wasn't a real restaurant, so my expectation wasn't like that. We went there with three other Bengali friends. You need to go to see all food elements and then you can choose what you want. We ordered so many things, alu-chokha-baigan bharta- alu bhaja- mutton curry- ilish mach-prawn curry- some fish with gobhi-fish fry table was not sufficient to keep all dishes. My friends of Bengali were very happy to see this and we liked the food. Yeah, we liked it. Since it is more like home food and not unusual Bengali restaurant type. Everything brought memories of Kolkata Houses. And it's not even expensive. Each item was $4-$12. We were there and it was only $72 and we had 6-7 dishes. Only bad is that from Jersey City to Queens, we had to change 2 paths, so a person is $11 for both ways. So we spent 44 dollars to come here and have this food. Was it worth it? I'd say NO, but yes, once you can come.

I was here and didn't find it to my taste. It's a big place with not much service and the food was okay. I'm not excited to come back alone. The evaluation is for cleanliness.

While the menus of Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi foods really overlap one point, you rarely find a restaurant in New York City that specializes in Bangladeshi food and has taken care of the Bangladeshi community directly. The people from this smaller country are as much or more of a presence in the city as their counterparts, and their kitchen is also not a sip. Khaabar Baari is a new restaurant that has quickly become a hub of this community, with an underground meeting room, a large formal dining room for groups and parties, and a casual dining room on the upper floor that always seems to be strangled with families. When I dined here, it was part of a large group event, so you will see a buffet with options, but most here is on the menu and can be ordered in individual portions. Grilled King Fish Moglai (naan with spices and meat inside) Samusa fried dumplings and chotputti Aloo chop, roasted potato croquets Pullao Chicken Pullao Mutton Singara (like Samosas) Vegetables

My fellow Bengali friends were really happy to see this and we liked the food. Yup, we liked it. As it was more like home food and not fancy Bengali restaurant type. Everything was bringing memories from Kolkata homes. And it is not even expensive. Every item was from $4-$12. We four were there and it was $72 only and we had 6-7 dishes.
