"Although you could do delivery from this Little Bangladesh restaurant, picking up your order is half the fun - because it gives you a chance to chat with the owner, who, when we called to see if they were still open during the shutdown, simply replied “We’re going to stay open as long as they let us stay open” (but with, like, a lot more UPPERCASE letters). But delivery/takeout/pick-up/contactless/etc. aside, it all becomes pretty immaterial once you start eating their fantastic Pakistani and Bangladeshi dishes, like their deeply aromatic basmati rice, tender lamb shank curry, and a rich, buttery chicken karahi that tastes like liquid gold, or Sonoya Mizuno’s bathwater. Available for takeout and delivery, call (213) 384-3570 or find them on most major apps." - kat hong
