Inside Ittadi
Ittadi in Jackson Heights is a straightforward, no-frills spot centered on authentic Bangladeshi cuisine, making it a practical choice for anyone craving classic Bengali flavors. Situated just off Roosevelt Avenue, it fits neatly into the neighborhood’s rich South Asian food scene, known for its diverse and lively culinary offerings.
The restaurant operates more like a casual dining hall than a traditional sit-down eatery. There’s a clear emphasis on efficiency and familiarity—guests typically approach the counter to order rather than relying on printed menus. The atmosphere inside is functional, with family seating that’s simple yet welcoming enough to accommodate groups and individuals alike.
Visitors appreciate the bold, well-seasoned dishes ranging from various biryanis—like beef and mutton—to specialties such as chicken tikka, fish curry combos, and a good selection of Bangladeshi sweets. Items like roshogulla, jalebi, and mishti doi offer a sweet contrast to the savory mains, rounding out the meal with traditional desserts. Tea and drinks like mango lassi complement the food well, making the experience feel well-rounded.
Given the location in Jackson Heights, parking can be a challenge, so it’s best to plan ahead or use public transit. Service is generally attentive, with friendly staff helping visitors navigate the menu and get their orders quickly, though be aware that a service charge is added automatically.
Ittadi works best for locals and travelers already familiar with Bangladeshi or Bengali cuisine who want a reliable place to satisfy specific cravings. Lunchtime and early evening tend to be good times to drop by to avoid the busiest periods. The setting isn’t about ambience or aesthetics but about delivering a genuine taste of home-style Bengali cooking in a practical, community-centered environment.
