"For Mamdani’s second day in office, he grabbed dinner from this Astoria Bangladeshi halal steam table spot, eating chicken roast and aloo (potato) bortha." - Nadia Chaudhury
"On his second day as mayor, dinner came from Astoria’s Bangladeshi restaurant Boishakhi, where he chose chicken roast and aloo (potato bortha) from the steam table setup. The casual, halal spot is run by Queens restaurateur Tozammel Tanzil and operates as a steam table affair, serving hilsa fish, chicken roasts, kebabs, and other Bangladeshi dishes in an unfussy environment." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Boishakhi is one of the few Bangladeshi restaurants in NYC where you can find a variety of Bengali-style bhortas (lightly fried mashed vegetables), fried and sauteed fish, biryani, and our favorites: haleem and boneless chicken bihari kabab. Haleem is a lentil stew, often mixed with beef chunks, that’s eaten during special events like Ramadan or Eid, or in the colder seasons. This hearty stew has a very thick consistency and is great with a squeeze of lime and fried onions on top." - jiniya azad, sameen choudhry

"I consider Boishakhi a popular Bangladeshi establishment on the platform, noted for sumptuous traditional Bangladeshi biryanis." - Caroline Shin
