★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Samina Munawwar · Oct 2025

⭐️ One Star (and that’s purely for the audacity to serve this experience) Dining at Al Medina restaurant was nothing short of a masterclass in how not to run a restaurant. From the moment we stepped in, the nearly empty dining room on a Saturday evening should have been a red flag — but ever the optimists, we stayed. What a mistake, yet what a story. The menu was impressively concise, perhaps because most of it was unavailable. A bold strategy — why overwhelm guests with options when disappointment can be so efficiently delivered? We eventually ordered goat biryani, goat curry, butter naan, Hakka noodles, and chicken samosas. Ten minutes passed before anyone noticed our existence, which gave us ample time to admire the décor — a stunning blend of “budget banquet hall” and “waiting room

Anyone in their right mind who says this place is good is drunk, or have terrible taste buds. The food is not up to standard, the quality of food is average, customer service is THE WORST. We waited an hour for our food, just to have the curry with white rice served. While the main dishes (biryani and fried rice) was served in the end when everything was finished. The fried rice DOES NOT taste like fried rice. We asked for naan, and it was packed to go, instead of being served freshly. The waitress doesn’t know what she was doing. And be mindful that there’s literally 1 person cooking and she is extremely rude. We asked to speak for the manager or someone in charge and she came out of the kitchen speaking to us in a passive aggressive tone. Instead of listening to the customer and trying t

★★★★★ 5.0 Shai Ahmed · Oct 2024

Amazing Bangladeshi food. So glad we found this hidden gem. They have a great selection of traditional home-cooked offerings including all types of bhortas, fish, meat and vegetarian dishes. We loved the rui maach, shutki bhorta, eggplant bhorta, choto maach, chicken curry, and the chicken kebab. Their buffet option is reasonably priced. If you want to try something other than your typical Indian fare, I would highly recommend this place.

★★★★★ 5.0 Liz Davis · Aug 2024

A small buffet or order from the menu. It was more cost effective for us to order from the menu. We didn’t eat meat and got chickpea curry and naan, our friends got buttered chicken. The food was good and we enjoyed the atmosphere. The server was very nice and sweet to our toddler. We recommend it and would go again.

★★★★★ 5.0 Lin Brann · Mar 2021

Sampled the Chicken Pastry Puff, Samosa Veg, Samosa Chicken, Butter Chicken, and Goat Biryani. Everything was tasty and well prepared. The Butter Chicken portion is smaller than I expected. They also own the market next door where you can pickup fresh vegetables, dairy products, frozen items, meat, and freshly made Chicken Pastry Puff and Veggie Samosas at the register. I definitely will come back to try other items on their menu.
