This area has some interesting and often scruffy ethnic food places, but I noticed this one looked clean and bright. It does seem to be a popular hangout for Bangladeshi men, but the menus/signs are in English, plus there's a nice buffet of food where they are happy to explain the dishes.
I was a little confused as to how best order since they didn't have combo meals listed… so I simply asked for some beef curry with rice. They guy piled a mountain of rice on a plate and asked if it was enough. I told him to return most of it. Then he ladled on a good portion of curry and asked if I wanted any vegetables. I pointed at a mixed medley. He then suggested a spinach side as well, which was fine (though I was thinking to myself… how much is this gonna cost? It was a heaping plate of food).
With a coke – $7. In fact he thought I only had $6 and said that was fine – but I was merely fishing out more bills from my pocket.
Food-wise, if you've not had it, Bangladeshi grub is very similar to Indian (though they do like beef as well), and Ghoroa had about 20 dishes from which to choose on the buffet, plus others (kebabs, etc) one can order a la cart. The food is nicely presented, not scary vats of mystery grub, and since they are catering mostly to expats, the pull no punches in terms of heat and spices. In fact my 2 different veggie side dishes packed more punch than the curry. It didn't make me cry but I did appreciate the pitchers of ice water at each table.
I'll definitely be back when in need of a home cooked, exotic yet wallet-friendly meal.
It was disgusting. Honestly I hate to waste food but I only ate the salad. I couldn't stomach the rest of it. It was so oily and the flavors were so off I couldn't even eat it. It was definitely AWFUL. It was also cold which made it even worse. The staff is nice and friendly but that cannot make up for the horrible food. One more thing it was so crowded I ended up sitting with some strange guy just to get a seat. He was nice but it would have been nicer to have my own table.
