We stumbled upon Bongo’s during my husband’s ongoing quest to find the best Bengali food in the Bay Area. Bongo’s serves authentic Bangladeshi cuisine, which is very close in flavor to Bengali/Kolkata-style food—so we were excited to try it.
Our first impression, honestly, wasn’t great. It’s a very small place with just a few tables—I wouldn’t even quite call it a full-fledged restaurant. But since it came highly recommended by several people, we decided to dine in anyway.
We started with the fish chop (cutlet) and chicken Mughlai paratha, and both were amazing. The paratha does take a while to prepare, so be prepared to wait—but it’s absolutely worth it. Freshly made, rich, and indulgent.
For the mains, I tried their Kachi Biryani (available only on Fridays), and my husband ordered the fish dopiaza with polao. The biryani was hands down the best dish of the night—succulent goat pieces, fragrant and flavorful rice, mildly spiced, and perfectly balanced. It was pure comfort food. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the fish curry as well and said it was very delicious and authentic.
Overall, the food was amazing, and the service was good too. That said, given the limited space and setup, next time I would probably opt for takeout instead of dining in.
If you’re craving authentic Bangladeshi/Bengali flavors in the Bay Area, Bongo’s is definitely worth trying—just adjust your expectations about the ambience and focus on the food.

We just had Bongo’s, and as a Bengali I can confidently say that this is one of the best Bengali food I have had in the US (including Bay Area and New York City).
We order Fish Chops, Mughlai Paratha (Fluffy flatbread stuffed with minced chicken and eggs), Shorshe Ilish (Mustard Hilsa), Prawn Mali Curry, Radhaballavi (Puri bread stuffed with lentils), Matar Kachori (Puri bread stuffed with peas), alloo dum, and Misti Doi (Sweet Yoghurt).
The flavours were authentic, fresh, and balanced, the service was quick and the staff were very friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant, and I’m sure I’ll visit this place frequently!

This might well be the San Francisco Bay Area’s best kept secret. This maybe the only authentic Bengali restaurant in the area. The food is delicious and very moderately priced. It’s a hole in wall kinda place but who cares. I just came for the food and I left as a very full happy camper. Must try for the Assamese and Bengali food lover. This is not your typical Indian restaurant. Truth be told, it’s Bangladeshi owned and operated. A very different food experience. Not for the faint at heart. The best fish dish’s fish has a lot of bones. The best meat dish is hot and spicy. But I am not complaining.

Best Bengali food in the Bay Area according to all my Bengali friends. It was incredibly delicious and well worth the drive from sf. Highly recommend!

We had lunch here, ordering Mughlai paratha, egg chicken roll, radhaballabhi, and aloo dum. We really enjoyed the radhaballabhi and aloo dum, which were flavorful. However, the roll and paratha could have used more spices for added flavor. The ambience was decent but a bit cluttered, with limited seating. Service was slow, as we waited around 25 minutes to be served. Overall, the food was good, especially considering the limited Bengali food options around.

they have such great bangladeshi and kolkata food and taste very solid.

I would ‘take out’rather than dine here. The place is small and cramped although the staff is sweet and cheerful. The fish chop was the saving grace and I can say the same thing about the mishti doi. The rest of the dishes that we had ordered like the chicken kosha , the fish dopiaza and the kacchi biryani were all spicy without being tasty.

The food was awesome.
Service wasn’t the best, but my expectations were not much high either.
The overall ambiance was very chaotic.
But the best thing is the food. It is probably the most authentic Bangladeshi food you can get anywhere in bay area. You should fall in love easily with the taste if you like Bangladeshi foods.
Mishti doi is absolutely perfect ❤️

We went here for lunch. The order consisted of
Fish chop: This was the only perfect thing here. The coating was thin and the potato-fish stuffing was good.
Sadly it went downhill from here;
Kachuri: Very oily. The pea filing was okay but the bread itself was raw in parts. Seemed like it was cooked at wrong temperature.
Paratha: Same thing with this one. Very oily. Not great taste.
Morog polao: There was something really off. The serve ware was too small to mix the polao and masala was accumulated in parts on the sides of the chicken quarter. The tate and flavors were very inconsistent in the single entree itself. Also the menu mentions it as “Chicken BIriyani” it is not at all a bengali biriyani or any biriyani. Please correct the menu. It is misleading.
Chicken kosha: This entree was ok. It had 4 small chicken pieces. However the gravy did not taste like a kosha gravy and was more like normal chicken curry.
Roshogolla: We’ve had roshogolla in Kolkata, India and it wasn’t even remotely close.
Mishti doi: Had mishti doi color but did not taste great.
Disappointing experience.
Ambience: Casual. Not terribly clean. Self service throughout. You need to holler when you are ready to order or need anything during your meal.
Quantity: ok
Parking: Ample

We recently dined at Bongos and had the pleasure of trying several dishes, including their Ilish Maach, Prawn Malaikari, Chicken Roast, Chicken Polao, Biriyani, and Nolen Gurer Rosogolla. Each dish was perfectly cooked, and rich in flavor.
The highlight of the meal was the Nolen Gurer Rosogolla—undoubtedly one of the best I’ve ever had. Among all the dishes, I highly recommend the Chicken Roast, their flavorful Biriyani, and Sorshe Ilish.
