Bonoful Sweets & Cafe

I know my rating is a bit mean but just to clarify, this place is not bad at all. And maybe their dishes with meat are far better. However, I do not eat meat. I tried their Aloo Gobi, Saag Paneer, Manchurian cauliflower, vegetable samosas, onion kulcha and garlic naan. Let me tell you!!! BEST FREAKING KULCHA AND NAAN EVER!!! But I didn’t at all like the manchurian cauliflower. That’s my fault though. I wasn’t trying to order Indo-​chinese food but I made a mistake. I just wanted Indian/​Pakistani/​Bangladeshi food. And for the Aloo Gobi & Saag Paneer, I prefer more sauce. But thats just my personal preference. And for that reason, I will probably only come back for their samosas, naan and kulcha. The staff is excellent. Very kind! The inside is so cute, I really like it.

Really loved the dinner here last night considering there’s not a great selection of Indian restaurants in Detroit. Everything tasted delicious and service was excellent. I guess the only thing I would say is that the place needs a little bit of a facelift and some spring cleaning. But the delicious food made up for it! I will return!

This place is awesome. They’re little expensive compare to Aladin but trust me They’re way better than Aladin… Food taste great… And the servers are nice… Highly recommended… Don’t forget to try their Chicken 65…

Indo/​Pak cuisine is a staple in my diet. When I’m not getting carry out I’m making the stuff at home. I’ve eaten at a few of the curry places in Hamtramck including a couple of that have gone out of business. For the past year I have been a regular customer at
Al Ladin, but recently I noticed Bonoful Sweets & Café on Conant on my way to Al Ladin and decided to give it try and now I’m a regular. First the place has a an ambiance that the other places do not. It’s also quiet so you can actually have a conversation with your friend (s) without hearing all the loud chit chat… unless you’re into that. Secondly, the food actually takes a while to get which means that it’s made fresh and not reheated like a some of the other places. Finally the food tastes great, not too greasy or heavy. The only problem I had was with the samosas. I’m not sure what kind of oil they use to fry the stuff but it definitely left an unpleasant after taste in my mouth. Other than that the service was great as well as everything else.

While I have to agree with the previous reviewer about the size of the samosas, I really loved eating at Bonoful.
My husband and I ate here last weekend and it was really, really good. We got the dinner for two, which set us back 24.95. It came with 2 samosas, a large salad, rice or naan (we opted for both and paid a dollar extra), 2 main dishes, and dessert. We got the Lamb Rogan Josh and the Goat Korma. There was so much food we ended up taking most of it home. The server was really friendly and attentive. The naan was some of the best I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot of naan) and the korma was so rich in depth of flavor. I also got a mango lassi, which was a little sweeter than I like, but still delicious. We’ll definitely be back.

A Bangladeshi restaurant with a great selection of curry, biryani, tandoori, and other Desi dishes.
I’ll be uploading some pics soon, but in the meantime here’s the info on what we ordered
1. Samosas — smaller than usual, served at room temperature, tasted okay but could’ve been better. The highlight were the tasty sauces that accompanied these tasty little pockets. One was a spicy cilantro mustard sauce and the other was a plum sauce. Really good!
2. Goat Karhai — First time trying goat, and the way it was prepared along with green peppers, ginger, tomatoes, and onions was great!
3. Chicken Tikka — Served on a hot skillet with sweet onions, peppers, and herbs and a slice of lemon (drizzling it over the chicken added another layer of some amazing flavor)!
4. Naan — baked in their tandoori oven, is this heavenly tasting bread! :)
The service here was friendly & attentive, white table clothes decorated the dining area tables, a buffet area was setup for their Monday-​Friday lunch buffets, and prices are very reasonable (around $ 6 — $ 8 for a main course).
