Al-Aqsa Restaurant | Halal Food in Bronx

I bought from Al-Aqsa last night. I’m not a local but I heard reviews from some locals and they suggested that I should try it out. At first glance I didn’t like any of the food. They all looked like it was either cooked the day before or in the morning. Everything looked dry and not so appetizing. Anyhow I still wanted to give it a try. This Tehri is tasteless, super bland, what’s even more disappointing is that it has almost no meat and all of it is just rice. I got tehri from Khalil biriyani house as well just to compare. Although it wasn’t that great either but it was way better. It was flavorful and had meat in every bite. Bhai taka diye kine ebhabe manush ke dhoka dewar kono mane ami dekhi na. Eke toh mangsho kete kete small turka banai tar upor aitao dai na. It’s very disappointing.

Al Aqsa is an amazing restaurant with delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. The dishes are fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, with generous portions that make the meal worth every dollar. The staff is friendly, respectful, and provides great service, making you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. The restaurant is clean and well-organized, which adds to the overall experience. I highly recommend Al Aqsa to anyone looking for tasty food and excellent service — I will definitely be coming back!

My order was beef biriyani and kabab. Service and food was good. Need to improve food quality little bit. overall everything was good. 👍

“This post reflects my personal experience as a paying customer in a public-facing restaurant setting, supported by receipts and photos, it is intended to let the owners know about their service/employee only, not to attack anyone personally.” This review is directed to the owner or management of Bronx Al Aqsa Restaurant. If you cannot manage your online orders properly, then please stop taking them. Your two employees outright denied my order. Even after I stood inside the restaurant, they did not respond. When I asked if they were busy, they said “we’re not free” while they were just sitting and chatting. My pickup time was 9:30 pm, yet they claimed they never received my order. I reminded them that I had placed the order nearly 1 to 1.5 hours earlier and asked why my food was still not ready. At this point, the employee wearing a cap, instead of speaking politely, became extremely rude. He said, “We don’t know about online order issues, call the owner.” I asked him to call the supervisor, but he repeated, “It’s your need, not mine, so I won’t call.” If your restaurant hires people without training them in customer service, this is the result. If you cannot manage online orders or do not have skilled staff for it, you should not be advertising online orders on Facebook. I have been a regular customer of your grocery and restaurant for the past four years. Starting today, I will boycott your business. I know my leaving alone won’t harm your business, but I am writing this so you are aware of how your employees behave. If you think keeping my $22 makes you wealthy, then so be it. I often give to the homeless; today I’ll consider you as one of them. May GOD bring you in front of me on the Day of Judgment—that is my prayer. Edit: This guy had the audacity to reach me on my social media from a fake profile and asked me to remove his photo or else he'll file a lawsuit. My guy thinks that he can't be filmed or photographed while he's working at a publicly open restaurant, he should learn the law. First of all he's rude and their owner is also encouraging these kind of money grabbing things and then they have this much courage of playing a victim card while he's treating me like that.

Restaurant located in the heart of Bangladeshi community area. Close to Subway & bus station. I ordered chicken biryani, Haji’r special Goat biryani, and some snacks items (Chicken Samosa, Liver Singara, Shami Kabobs). To be honest, they have really good customer service but their foods are not good as I expected. Both biryani’s test below the average, not authentic taste of Bangladeshi biryani! Hope they will work to improve the taste.

Great little hole in the wall spot. Food is delicious even though it’s all mostly made in batches. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Restaurant can get very busy in surges. Ive had a bunch of different things there and it’s all been good. Favorites so far are Ruhi fish curry and a special young goat biryani. Recommend

I was really looking forward to enjoying some good biryani, but this was a huge disappointment. The rice was dry and clearly stale—it tasted like it had been sitting out for a day or two. The flavors were completely off, and the meat was tough and chewy. Honestly, it felt like I was eating leftovers that had been reheated without any care. Not only that but the guys that work there are very rude and full of attitude. Would not recommend this place.

I ordered 4 fresh paratha with other dishes and they gave me cold, hard and overburned three days old paratha. I came home opened the foil and was so disappointed. I called multiple times and the line is purposely on busy mode not going through. After paying $50 takeout and not being able to eat peacefully is unacceptable. WHY IS THE FOOD QUALITY GOING DOWN? Can owner take a look at why this is happening.
