Cilantro Bangladeshi Bistro

I'm 100% bengali. Grew up on Bangladeshi cuisine and cook deshi food at home. My mom and I came here for lunch and the food is legit. It was authentic and perfectly spiced. On par with my favorite Bangladeshi restaurant in NYC.

I stumbled upon a hidden gem. Cilantro offers amazing home style Bangladeshi HALAL food. It’s a small no frill shop but the food here is absolutely delicious. If you have never tried Bangladeshi food, stop now and go check it out. The couple running the restaurant are super friendly and made good recommendations. We tried the Tamarind eggplant, stuffed alu (potato) chop, paratha, Jhaal (spicy) chicken, and dal. Each of the dishes were so good, reminded me of home cooked food. Simple and tasty dishes. Portion sizes are good and spice level is manageable as well. About the food, the tamarind eggplant was the best! I could just keep eating that with the Pulao. Also the alu chops with the chicken filling were so good that I ended up ordering some to go. The Pulao and Jhaal (spicy) chicken was also very tasty. Not too oily or spicy, everything was proportionate. They also provided salad with the food, which added to the delicious food experience. Dine in or take out, Cilantro is a must try place for authentic Bangladeshi food. I can’t wait to go back and try other things on their menu, specially the fish dishes .

We ordered goat biryani, jhaal chicken, rice and a coke. Goat biryani had more saffron / aator and didn’t have enough meat. The jhaal chicken was tasty and chicken was tender. The price 35$ was expensive compared to the decor and service to be honest.

Great place for some Bangladeshi food. Give it a try. The ambiance and decor isn’t impressive, but the food is good.
