A co worker of mine recommended me to this restaurant. First time trying their food. The food was good. I have no complaints.

Food on the front look good but Taste wasn’t great. Served Haleem cold. Paratha was too oily. And the tandoori chicken was flavor less almost tasted like boiled chicken . The portion was good though. Service was good . Only need to improve the taste of food .

DO NOT EAT HERE
I thought the reviews were bs but I ordered the sizzling chicken,naan,masala fried rice,wontons,and Thai soup the sizzling chicken should be called sizzling salt because it was full of it nothing but salt,tasted like I was eating hot cornstarch with salt in it chicken was really wet and soggy waste of money and the Thai soup they but broccoli in it now if you know Bengali Chinese food then you know they never put broccoli in it,only thing that was edible from my order were the wontons they took more than 45 mins just to bring out the flavourless soup and the wontons, the worst restaurant experience I ever had in my life I will never be coming back here again and I advise you guys to do the same save your money and go somewhere that actually gives a damn about customer service and food.

I’d give zero star if I could. They served us last night’s left over food. When asked they were saying its fresh fish (we orderd Ruhu fish). Also facility wasn’t clean. We had to clean our own table cause those waiter clearly doesn’t care about customer service. It took over 20 minutes to serve the food. I saw them gossiping on the counter while the food tray was sitting infront of them. And we were waiting for the food.

Lesson learned.

What an unusual experience, paid around $20 for a “full” chicken curry and some parathas, what does the chicken curry include? 2 large pieces of bones that filled the whole container and little meat the size of your single finger on it. I actually thought it was going to be 3 pieces of meat, like some actual meat meaning some protein content. And that turned out to be 10 or 12 or something dollars, that’s right! The whole “full curry” is composed of 78-85% bones and 5-7% gravy and 7-13% meat the size of one finger and the rest of the container was just air.

I remember buying a “half size” chicken curry last year from here and it had 1 small piece of meat like half the size of a chicken leg, of course not an actual chicken leg, and one huge piece of bone with little to no gravy.

This time I ordered full size only to be severely disappointed, because I got like no meat, just bones, with 5-7% gravy(basically 5-7 teaspoons of gravy, try to pour 14 teaspoons of water in to a cup you will have a rough estimate of what I mean, yup that’s the amount of Gravy you get for 10-12 dollars )

Also, once I had ordered a bunch of shingaras/samosas a long time ago and I said I want vegetable Shingara and they gave me like 6 or 8 liver shingara of course no compensation. And few other times I ordered other curries from here like beef and fish and other stuff which cost me over $110, beef I got just bones and no gravy, fish was okay, of course over priced for the quantity of all the curries. Parathas and Naans were normal, rice was normal. Both Biryanis were just bones with a little bit of rice for a high price and a weak flavor. Tandoor tasted flavorless or raw or rotten at the same time.

will I buy anything else anytime soon or recommend this place? Maybe if I receive a response and if they give actual meat instead of bones, or just change the sign from “chicken curry” to “chicken bones” because I could have bought like 15-20 pieces of fried chicken from a different store for the same amount I spent here recently. Which would be like 80 times more protein content.

It looked like the workers will make sure you waste large amounts of money for bones, why? Do the workers take the remainder for free? If so that would make sense. Because I don’t get why the workers on multiple occasions picked up a piece of meat and they put it away and gave me bones instead, it’s as if they want $20 or $50 from you immediately (one-time) and they don’t care if you come back or not, do they not realize picking and giving customers only bones will cause a loss of profit? Most of us would like to return to a good local restaurant and bones for 12 dollars doesn’t sound like a good restaurant.

I am not making a demand that would cause a loss to your business it’s literally “give what we paid for, so that we will return to buy again, we did not see chicken curry sign and pay you 10-12 dollars so that you can give us 2 large pieces of bones”

Would I recommend this place? No to anyone who works hard and needs protein and nutrients to recover, yes to anyone rich who is willing to buy the whole tray for what? $400? Or $800? Then you will be lucky enough to get some meat with all of those bones.

Was the food at least good? Yes it smelled good and tasted like bones because that’s all I got with little bit gravy and oil, few teaspoons to be clear

I get it, inflation, low profit, and so on. But here is a fact if you give your customers something they did not pay for, you will lose customers and profit,

I came back thinking they should be given a chance maybe they improved it’s been a year, only to have my thought stomped on and be charged $10-12 for some bones ? ?

I request the owner to send someone in the restaurant in the near future secretly have them order food and I would like for the owner to see what is being given for the price.

Food was good. Washroom was clean. Servers were friendly and helpful. Don’t know why there are so many negative reviews. One thing they can improve is to have an arrangement to wash hand outside the restroom.

ORDERED BEEF CURRY. I was expecting fresh curry but got OLD -last night’s left over. Awful taste. Saw them selling that trash curry to some other foreigners.

Who?

Panshi is very inconsistent… Their food can either hit the spot or be disappointing. Same can be said about their atmosphere which can either be nice and clean or you can still see crumbs on the table. They are consistent with their vegetarian options however, their alu bhaji, bhute daal, and their omelete are good options and they have pretty good chai. If you do come here, i recommend going here in the morning for their breakfast options which usually are the most consistent. Overall, not a bad spot to visit.
