Dhanshiri — Restaurant in New York

Meh.... Was only pleased with their heavy style lollipops.

7 years later, I came to try out the restaurant again.

Update:

Service: The server truly needs more lessons on customer service. She had asked for levels of spice, and we had given her, but she insisted that we keep the same level of spice for all food so that the chef doesn't mess up. If you're going to keep levels, why bother asking the customer if the chef is not up to his/her level at accommodating? It should be either spicy or not spicy without any levels.

We had a horrible service of constantly asking for things: straws, soda, ice, white rice that should've come with a dish Never understood why the server was confused when We asked for white rice.

Had to repeat orders for her to understand when she came back and forth to the table even though she had a pen and notepad when she initially took our order the first time BUT still didn't deliver properly!

Food:

Bang bang shrimp: didn't ask for any spice yet spicy and had too much black pepper.

Drums of heaven: tasted good

Lamb chill fry: too salty and gravy like when it's called "fry." Usual lamb chili fry is literally dry and fried.

Schezuwan fried rice with shrimp: tasted good but wish their celery was not in a cut in large chunks

Singapore noodles with shrimp: tasted well

Note to the owner: veggies need to be cut smaller. Laziness on dishes won't work Nd service needs much improvement, especially when it's not even busy in the restaurant. I hope the owner sees this review and works on it...

If you see in my history of reviews, its very rare I give such low ratings however I feel this hotel is deserving of such rating ...

I placed an order for delivery through Yelp. Came to find out the rice was missing, called the Restaurant and talked with Mona. She said, she is sorry and yes they did forget to place it into the delivery bag and its here. However our delivery person is busy, it might take upto 1 hour for driver to deliver. I said - Ok no problem will wait as we cannot eat CHICKEN THAI CURRY alone, we need rice!

It's past 2 hours, I called Restaurant. Mona says, I can get free Rice next time I order lol, so you never had any intention to deliver the rice. To top of it, I said why dont you guys take the Chicken Thai Curry back and refund me the money. She says she cannot do that. I said than why are you offering me free white rice for next order ? To eat it alone and what am I suppose to do with the Curry I have ( let it go to waste ) ...

If they had been straight forward with me, that sorry we cannot deliver you the rice. Unable to do anything right now, I would have respected that but this kind of behavior is not acceptable and deserves...

If you go during weekend expect cold food and not well cooked food. Waiter and waitress services are very good and caring but food is not that good as expected. Cannot handle lots of customers at the same time. We ordered Thai soup, chicken lollipops, and other item similar to chicken lollipop as appetizers. It was served late, chicken in the soup was half cooked, and other items were cold. After that main course item was not well cooked and very poor caring preparation. In the kitchen the chef probably exhausted and were not able to handle lots of orders at the same time. We asked the manager reason for serving late, cold food and other issues and we were told that after preparing food it was left in kitchen table and kitchen back door was open. And he suggested us to come back during weekdays when it is slow may be we will get better quality food at that time. My suggestion is avoid this place, just wasting your money and time. I would rather go to Talk of The Town Chinese restaurant in Jackson Heights (problem in Talk of the town is food price is very high and quantity is less but, food quality is very...
