What People Are Saying About Panahar Bangladeshi Cuisine
The Editor
Contributor
Contributor
The Scene – Aside from a few vibrant silk sheers draped overhead, this Bangladeshi restaurant is a dead ringer for a '70s basement rec room, wood paneling and all. But the growing crowds don't come for the scenery. They come for the unusually gracious hospitality of Panahar's owner, Mirza Ameen, and his reasonably priced Indian and Bagladeshi fare. – – The Food – The differences between Bangladeshi and Indian cuisines aren't readily apparent on the menu, which consists of standbys like spicy chicken vindaloo, saag paneer (spiced spinach with homemade cheese) and naan.…

Worth a try but not really all that
by lfsivadl at Citysearch
This restaurant is small (about 14 tables) and the decor is simple. There were 4 wait staff rushing about inefficiently to serve everyone. The food smelled good, but it just didn't have that POW that I love about good Indian food. It was too much creamy-gravy and not enough spice. Maybe this is suitable for a non-Indian clientele. I didn't see one Indian family eating in the restaurant when I went... normally not a good sign in my opinion. Still, if you are new to Indian food, it may be worth a try. I thought it was "just ok" and I wouldn't make a point of going back.
- Pros: Smells good when you walk in
- Cons: Seems tailored to non-Indians

Great food, wonderful service

From the moment you walk into Panahar, you are treated like a treasured guest. The waiters enthusiastically explain all items on the menu and make recommendations (which all proved to be excellent choices.) They do not offer alcohol for sale but you are welcome to BYOB which they will happily uncork (for free) and serve you. (A nice plus not having to pay $10 for a glass of wine like at so many other places.)
As I mentioned, the food was excellent. (I'm new to Bangladeshi & Indian food, so whether or not it was authentic, I can't say, but it was delicious.)
Prices are very reasonable -- my friend and I had appetizers, 2 main courses, an order of special rice and bread, and 2 desserts (one of which was on the house) all for $32!!!! I'll definitely be back soon.
- Pros: Food, service, BYOB
- Cons: tacky 1970's ambience, but, hey, it's part of the charm

Yummy but don't go if you have a deadline!

I really enjoy dining at this restaurant, however over the numerous times I've been the service is consistently sloooww! That may be a positive -- perhaps if it's a date night when you'd prefer to not be rushed -- but I've learned that if I go it'll be a minimum of an hour and a half before I'm out the door.
- Pros: Delicious food, BYOB
- Cons: Sloooww service
