PNK Surinamese Cuisine & Majnoon Cafe — Restaurant in New York

I recently visited a fairly new establishment located in Richmond Hill on the famous Liberty Avenue. Having never tried Surinamese cuisine before, I was excited to try a variety of dishes. Upon entering, I immediately felt a warm and homey vibe. The restaurant is small and intimate, with dim lighting adding a cozy touch to the dining area. Though I hadn't met the owner before, Neil greeted my nieces and me with genuine warmth and a constant smile. He gave us excellent recommendations and took the time to explain the ingredients in each dish. We decided to try a few items and were pleasantly surprised by the experience. Every dish had its own unique flavor and blend of spices. My personal favorites were the kippenworst and the Hong Kong nasi. While waiting for our order, I noticed a steady flow of people coming in, either picking up food or placing new orders. Delivery drivers were also constantly coming and going. It was clear from the activity that this spot is popular, which gave me confidence in the quality of the food. The wait time was slightly longer than expected, but Neil, the owner, let us know that some dishes are made fresh, which we appreciated. The pricing is a bit higher than what you might find at other Caribbean, Trinidadian, or Guyanese spots, but considering how rare Surinamese cuisine is in the area, it felt justified. You're paying for authentic, high-quality food, and this place did deliver. Overall, it was a hit, and I'd highly recommend...

I was craving surinamese food and once decided to give pnk cuisine another try since they are the only surinames restaurant in Queens. I want to give my honest opinion on everything that I purchased. Hong Kong style fried rice with shrimp was good , had a nice flavor to it 😋. Bamie was OK but to me it could have taste better . 3.Bamie & Nasie combo again it was OK it was not the flavors I was looking for , the lever sambel was to DRY , and there were no Greens to the food ,I understand kouseband might be expensive but string beans can be a solution added as greens to bami and nasi ( my suggestions) . Bruine bone kip was good. 4.Bakabana wasn't ready ,it was to oily and the plantain was hard not ripe enough plus ,they give little peanut sauce. Loempia the filling was to dried ,the kouseband could have been cut more small ,it was more kouseband in there than strip chiken ,plus one of the Loempia i ate had a big piece of Laos inside 😳, I never know laos ever been in loempia 👎👎👎. 6 .Peye had no taste to it and again was oily. But because I love to support people I will continue to support this business...

I went this evening to buy nasi and bami....I live in Queens for decades and couldn't find my famous surinamese dish so someone told me there's a place on liberty 128th street anyhow I found the place and I would say the food taste really good idk about the bad reviews on here but it has to be people that dont know or never had surinamese food before.....this is the only spot that have surinamese food that I know of and I really happy I found this spot....I wish they would use regular rice instead of the basmati rice tho not too much of my liking but overall they got my five star and I get to eat back home food after a decades I'll be a regular customer and I appreciate the service and for some of you saying 30mins wait and so yall should call and order then pick up instead of going there and wait for me I rather wait cause I know my food is getting prepared the way I expected it and it wasn't rush like the other restaurant that would forget to put add hot sauce or even spoon overall...
