"Just learned about this place following while following delicious aromas during a summer jog. Get the Haleem! (Delicious!) Get the platter! (Crispy!) Get some fuchka and share them with a friend. (Wow!) The gentleman serving us was friendly and kind as we tried to learn about these delightful foods. Honestly amazing. Can’t wait to go back!"

"I have to give this place 5 star ratings, there is no way not to. So I was on my way for an elite event & after getting of at church ave I saw the Bengali snack name on the store. I literally realized that This area is actually a small Bangladesh lol! I forgot about it, after a long time I am here. So now I can't just pass it by, I had to check it out. Because I want a Shingara & a cha(chai) so tired of Indian chai which is not strong enough like ours. The welcome I got was amazing, and the kindness & respect he showed me was astonishing. I felt very proud to be a Bangladeshi, I hope everyone was like that. I know that's not possible but I can wish ! It doesn't cost money to be nice to others..! Now the food part, I got piyaju, chicken Somosa & Ofcource cha(chai) . I gotta say everything was delicious. Cha was not to sweet which I appreciate so much & stronger the way we Bangladeshi love! Yummy! It is a small place, I pray that they get success in their business & able to make this place bigger ! Only concern for me is that, when a place becomes famous the quality & customer service goes way down! Time will say... It is quite far from where I live, but want to try the other favorite snacks of mine. So whenever I am in Brooklyn I will try to come by & support them! They do deserve all the support from us. When I was eating the snacks I have realized they do not use old oil to fry stuff, much appreciated! The place is clean too. The price is reasonable ! I gotta say it's been a while I enjoyed Piyaju that much from any nyc Bangladeshi places! I regret not to buy extra to bring home for my son. This gives me a chance to come back here again ... Btw, I loved the graphic Design of the name for the store. Keep up the great work..."

"The chicken samosa is BANGIN! The veggie samosa is also delicious, the pakora is loaded with cabbage and is the juiciest one I’ve ever had. Mini samosas have an explosion of flavor. It was my first time having Fuchka so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but it was light and delicious. The woman running the place was incredibly nice and insisted that I sit down to eat on of the chairs I the corner. Great vibe in this tiny spot."
