The food was par at best, the guava chaat was just guava in tamarind chutney, probably would have tasted better with just chaat masala or Kala namak. The fuchka were barely stable, became soggy even with a little bit of water, and the crunchy stuff around probably had egg and the owner never bothered to say anything.
But the one star review is for the owner’s extremely poor service and poor treatment of customers. We ordered dahi fuchka and guava chaat, the owner made us wait 20 minutes, and then he got our order wrong and told us we got mango chaat. I corrected and told him guava chaat. He brushed it aside as if it made no difference. Then he gave us regular fuchka and guava chaat. When we asked whether he gave us regular or dahi, because we couldn’t tell, he told us regular, and when we told him we ordered dahi, not regular, he ignored us and turned to his co-seller and started talking in Bengali. He doesn’t give even one fuchka that he gave us the wrong order and brushed it aside as if it made no difference.
When he told his co-seller to ring up the bill, he told him one regular fuchka and mango chaat - he literally already forgot what we ordered again after I had corrected him twice. And then when I pointed this out again, he once again rolled his eyes, completely ignored me, and turned to his co-seller and started talking to him again. How rude. Could have just given a basic apology (“sorry we got your order wrong, hopefully you still enjoyed the food”). Then he had the audacity to ask for a tip after all of this. This man seriously needs to see a doctor and get checked for memory issues, I hope he takes appropriate action for his health and for better customer service. Until then, I strongly advise against trying this fuchka cart, both for the par food and horrible...
Read moreI unfortunately have to leave a one star review due a dishonest employee tipping himself with my credit card without my knowing. If you come here, suggest you pay in cash.
After we ate our fuska, I went up to pay as usual and the employee in the cart asked me if I wanted some tea. I said sure and he poured out the chai into small cups and asked me to pay for my food after we finished drinking. For some reason, I thought this tea was complimentary because of the small size and thought the guy was genuinely being nice. It was only after I came back a second time to pay for my food that he included the teas in the final price. It would have been nice if he had clarified that it wasn't free.. That was my bad for assuming, so I was not upset at this.
However, when I put my credit card into the payment terminal, as the tip screen was loading, he immediately turned the payment terminal back towards himself and clicked something. I didn’t think much of it, but luckily my email is in the payment system, and so I automatically received an email with the receipt. On the receipt, you can see that he had given himself a tip after turning the terminal around before I was able to complete my transaction. Obviously this is not about the money, but the principle. I used to recommend this place to friends and family, but after this experience I will be taking my...
Read moreIf you are in New York City and crave a quick, delicious bite with a unique atmosphere, check out Fuska House in Jackson Heights. Unlike other fuska carts in the area, Fuska House has two carts due to high demand, ensuring efficient service.
As a Bangladeshi, I often miss the street food from back home. When the craving hits, my friends and I travel from Brooklyn to Queens for some tasty fuchka, jhalmuri, and mango chaat from Fuska House. There's something special about enjoying street food while hanging out. They are also open late night as well making trips there more adventurous and fun.
The quality and freshness of the ingredients set this food cart apart. Each bite is an explosion of flavors, making me crave more. The staff are friendly, efficient, and passionate about their food. Despite the constant stream of customers, they ensure each order is perfect, always serving with a smile.
A special shout-out to the owner, Masud, who is the heart and soul of this cart. His warm greetings and friendly chats make everyone feel welcome. His dedication to quality and customer satisfaction is inspiring, and it's clear why Fuska House has such a loyal following.
End your adventure at Fuska House with a cup of cha (tea); it's so good and the perfect finish touch! I highly recommend Fuska House and will continue making trips there with family...
