I ordered three different kebabs and a chicken drumstick. After eating just one piece of kebab, I started feeling extremely sick and had severe stomach pain. I didn’t want to post this, but this is the third time in the past year that I’ve had a bad experience, and I’m really upset by the consistent disappointment with their food.
I also took photos of the drumstick from multiple angles to clearly show that the chicken was undercooked. There were fresh blood stains, and the meat was visibly raw and pink, which clearly indicates it wasn’t properly cooked.

Today was our second visit to Khalil. The food was GREAT! My whole family liked them. The stuffs were also helpful. We ordered Kacchi Biriyani, Beef Tehari, Kabab and a Chicken Tanduri. Not gonna lie Kacchi Biriyani’s price was quite expensive. There is no particular reason to charge that much for the kacchi. Beef tehari price quite normal still expensive!
Quality and Taste and representation of the foods were top notch but the price is quite EXPENSIVE!!
Oh, they could’ve installed a mirror by the sink!

I have had biriyani from them in the past and always had a good experience but today (02/19/26) i bought their kacchi goat biriyani and Oh My God. They only gave a small piece of meat and gigantic three chunkes of just FAT. My appetite dropped immediately after seeing it not to mention there was no potato.
I paid $21.76 dollars which felt like absolute waste of my money cus it felt like i gave that money to get fat chunks.
Never returning here again after this experience.

The food was good and the service was okay as well. It’s a little crowded and the ventilation wasn’t that great. But my main concern was the interaction between the so-called “owner” and a newly hired server. The way the owner was talking/scolding the waitress was extremely rude and very demeaning. I understand she was new, and any new employee needs proper training. He could have the conversation in private. It was humiliating. We kind of lost the appetite after hearing the way he was talking down towards the employees. We don’t think we’ll go back to this place where employees are not treated as humans but as modern slaves. The owner seems to forget his roots and shows his superficial power over employees. Feel sorry for those employees who have no choice but to work there with him.

The price of the goat biryani is $20 which I find expensive than other local restaurants. But the taste was good. I liked their sweets like gurer shondesh and roshgolla

They used to sell some of the best biryani in the community, starting from their original Bronx location. As everyone knows, that Bronx branch is now permanently closed—and honestly, that explains a lot. When the main branch shuts down, it really makes you question what’s going on with the remaining locations.
I recently bought a full tray of beef Tehari for $150, and it was a complete joke. There was barely any meat—mostly rice. At best, maybe 2 pounds of beef, if that. Paying $150 and essentially getting a tray of rice is unacceptable.
They also said the tray comes with salad, but when I asked for it, they handed me one tiny foil container. That’s it.
This feels like straight-up exploitation of the community. The pricing is outrageous, the portions are misleading, and the value is nonexistent. What you’re actually buying for $150 is shocking once you see it.
I used to genuinely love this place, which makes this even more disappointing. The quality has collapsed, the service is terrible, and it’s now one of the most overpriced and disappointing food experiences I’ve had.
I would not recommend this place to anyone—not even to try. Save your money and go elsewhere.

If I can give a star I will give that. This is good location where they get lots of locals Bangladeshi customers. We as an Indian found it to be the decent one in hillside. We normally order the combo whenever we go around that area. First it was good they served the portion in individual bowls that’s comes in the $11:99 combo. As we started to become a more frequent visitor. The portion size decreases sometimes and then sometimes they started say Dal is not ready or this Sabi is not ready…..we are ok until we asked for substitute with other Curries or Dal its will become little annoying for them…..then they end up giving a bit of it angrily not even a full portion like it supposed to be……you should see their. faces as if we asking for free food. After our meal we normally order Chai now then started to ask us to leave because other customers are waiting its not like other sit are not available it is available. I found them very racist. I won’t recommend this restaurant for all. It’s just a Bangladeshi restaurant not suitable for other natives.

Heard a lot negative things about them, but their kacchi is actually one of the best I had in the USA. They had limited collection of appetizers but the wonton I tried was quite good. The atmosphere was a but weird with some shady people

Khalil Biryani has a bustling atmosphere, but the seating situation leaves much to be desired. The limited space and small tables often require sharing, which can be uncomfortable, especially during busy times.
I tried the special beef biryani, which was flavorful but disappointing in portion size—just one large piece of meat. The beef tehari I took out was not impressive and fell short of expectations. The chicken roast with polau was decent
On a positive note, the staff were helpful, and I also sampled the kebabs, which were just okay. Overall, while the food has its highlights, improvements in seating and portion sizes would enhance the experience.

I bought the Chana, kebabs and beef tehari.
Disgusting beef tehari. There was so much bones, and fat. There was no proper meat in here. The TEHARI was tasteless. We had better beef tehari at Fulkole in ozone park. We added caramelized onion because there was no taste. Oh and the portion is extremely small. lol I paid $18 at fulkole and got what could feed 5 people.
Kebab was good.
The Chana was also nasty and very small portion.
Honeslty wouldn’t even recommend this place.
