Food is amazing and clean atmosphere. Have been going to this place for more than 10 years and the taste or the quality never disappoints. Now I am not local anymore, but whenever there is a chance to visit anywhere near, I make sure I stop by. The Keema Naan is to the point, and honestly everything on the menu is recommendable. I personally like the chicken samba with keema Naan and yogurt sauce. Lamb biryani is also good and is my husband's pick.
This went from "a place for mango lassi" right to *my plaza favorite* after their renovations this August.
Got food there 5 times in the last month, their food over delivered 🥹
Imo, the #shahi poutine is the best in the world -- it's better than La Banquise (claims the 2nd). Excellent execution! What killer concepts to:
- replace dull gravy with flavorful curry
- pack in large chunks of paneer w/ the squeaky cheese 🤩
Today I got the keema aloo peas, tastes amazing & the portions are hefty for a girl. Got a buy one get one free deal, so I guess it's gonna last me 3-4 meals 😅

This place is the best! I used to hate curry but Kismet converted me. Everything is made to order so is always fresh. The staff is super friendly and treats us like family.
Very delicious Chicken Biryani and amazing customer service by Faysal. 100% recommended.
They had flyers in the Waterloo Masjid I came to the plaza one day and could not find them. So I went to Kabob Hut Persian restaurant. Another time I came but forgot the flyer again for the 50% off butter chicken so I got the lamb biryani instead. Today being Friday just came from the Masjid and had the butter chicken with nun in mind forgot the flyer again I thought “ Said” the owner won’t make a big deal he was sitting in his luxury car when I questioned him about what the big deal is about a flyer that you printed ? Isn’t the point to attract customers ? He said no you have to have the flyer and the student try to lie to me about the deal being over when it said until Sept 30 2023. Nice to know you Kismet ✌🏾
We tried the tandoori chicken dinner meal with the pea pilao, as recommended by the staff. Really generous portions-- was enough for 2 people. They had a deal on mango Lassi, only $1 each! The meal was as good as I remembered it from years ago.
I recently visited Kismat restaurant located in the University Plaza and I must say, it was an amazing experience. The restaurant offers authentic Bangladeshi cuisine and all their meats are halal, which is a big plus for me. I love the taste of halal meats more.
Before covid I used to to eat there monthly , I have enjoyed their lamb curries and lamb biryani. The meats were tender, juicy and flavorful, and the spices were just right. They also made fresh naan, which was soft and fluffy, and some delicious beverages like mango juice, which tasted homemade.
Although Kismat restaurant is on the slightly expensive side, I believe the taste and quality of food is worth the price. And recently, they added a loyalty plan that makes it even better. If you commit to pay $40 monthly, you get a 10% discount and a free beverage (the mango juice is definitely worth it!). This makes it easier for customers to enjoy the same quality food without having to worry about the cost.
Overall, I highly recommend Kismat restaurant to anyone who is looking for authentic Bangladeshi cuisine with halal meats. The food is delicious, the service is great, and the loyalty plan is a nice added bonus. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed!

I'm not from around here but needed food and wanted samosas. Holy moly am I ever glad i stopped here. The workers in there were some of the nicest people I have ever met and the samosas were the best i have ever had. Ordered both Veggie and Meat samosas. The size of these things is crazy and the flavor is out of this world. I highly recommend coming here!!
