Cheeni

Had a delicious breakfast here - so much to choose from! Really enjoyed the cardamom & plum pastry, along with the masala egg & cheese sandwich we split. Delicious drinks, cozy atmosphere, and super friendly staff… excited to come back for wine / dinner soon! Highly recommend, this is a hidden local gem.

Amazing spot. The food was so good - the most authentic Bengali snack food I’ve ever had at a restaurant! Wine list was excellent. Plus great outdoor space.

Spicy! Crunchy & Delicious! Loved the flavorful breakfast over at Cheeni so much that we came back for dinner the next day. Highly recommend, go support this new spot!

Delicious bites & fun drinks! The staff were super friendly to give us recommendations since we weren’t super familiar with the menu. The food was full of rich spices and very gooooood! I also ordered Masala Coke, which was a fun twist on coke. My new fav restaurant!

Brand new spot on an already super viby street, Tompkins! Love the food, the drinks, and the decor. The owners are wonderful people as well. Highly recommend if you're in Bedstuy!

Love this place. I’ve come here for dinner a few times, and love how inventive and tasty the food is. My favorite items are the crispy paneer salad and the lentil pav (pictured). But also the chop (pictured) and the phuchka (devoured too quickly). All the desserts are amazing, but my the mango pavlova wins for me. Plenty of vegetarian and even vegan options. The house made nonalcoholic options are all excellent. The mango lassi is a fragrant version of the lassi you grew up with, and the aam panna is a super unique drink with a spicy/tangy punch to it. Not to mention that the vibe inside is super trendy but also relaxed. I’ll definitely be back again for dinner and drinks, but also need to visit for breakfast and lunch asap, esp for the pastries and paratha-based egg dishes!

Came here for breakfast yesterday and dinner today! SOOO happy to have this gem around the corner from me. What a treat to be able to eat Indian street food, drinks and desserts in such a warm atmosphere. Everything is delicious and priced well. Cheeni will be seeing a lot of me.

This place has quickly become our go-to in the neighborhood. The iced masala chai pairs perfectly with the samosa croissant, and the pastries all have a creative, delicious twist. We especially love the charming backyard — perfect for hanging out with our toddler and dog

This is my new favorite local cafe!! Everything about this place is so awesome. The cardamom plum pastry I had was delicious, the chai was beautifully spiced, the decor and seating was cute and comfy, and everyone was extremely kind and welcoming! They allow computers, have a bathroom, and don't play music too loud--and it was relatively empty and easy to get a seat--so this is the perfect place to get some work done while enjoying some treats. Can't wait to come back and try some food from the full menu and check out the patio space!
