Bengal Cafe



Problem: Most Indian Restaurants have oily, way- too- spicy food that you'd never find in India.
Solution: 2263 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge .

In this authentic Bangladeshi restaurant, a wide variety of foods are available; from the classic chicken curry to the lesser known Lao Chingri, this place has it all. The best part? Its all food that you can find in Bangladesh. Homemade, and delicious, it's the perfect place to go for a snack, lunch, or dinner.


After you order, you can smell your food cooking from where you sit. The ceiling is made of sari's, in a beautiful pattern as unique as the food it watches. If you go, try the sweet or mango lassi. The salt lassi is a bit less dessert-like, but still delectable to most. The only downside is that it's relatively new, so all the dishes aren't mastered, but, "It's worth it to eat food just like Mom would make if Mom were from Bangladesh," (First, 1/5/06).

A personal recommendation: try the Shami Kebobs. They melt in your mouth, and have just the right amount of spice.

Overall, 9 1/2 out of 10 stars.
