What our guests are saying
Absolutely wonderful Bangladeshi cafe. The decor is colorful and relaxing and the service was attentive, kind, and responsive. We were treated like family, which is the highest compliment that I give to any restaurant! The food was such a highlight! We ate delicious Kachchi Biryani (slow cooked goat), mixed vegetables, bread (naan, paratha), and of course, dessert! We enjoyed rasgulla and chanar sondesh, which were so delicious they need their own special review (gives me a reason to return!). The best mango lassi I’ve ever had. We will definitely be back!!

Gulshan Cafe, in my opinion,they gained popularity in a very short time. The restaurant mainly serves Bangladeshi dishes, offering delicious options for breakfast, lunch, and brunch. Their snacks are so delicious,we ordered their hot samosas, singaras,patties and rolls with their special mint chutney and a cup of tea, a perfect combination that satisfied both our heart and stomach. Their rice pudding, malai mishty, and laddus are also very delicious. The kebabs are flavorful and go wonderfully with polao, biryani, or even just with chutney(tamarind & mind). They also offer a variety of fish and meat dishes, Tehari and biryani also popular. Their Chilli Chicken just 🔥 The best part is that their prices are reasonable, the interior is aesthetically pleasing, and the staff are genuinely kind and welcoming. I truly appreciate the homely atmosphere,their sincerity and hospitality make the place feel warm and comfortable.
