I recently visited Chandni Restaurant for their $19.99 buffet, and honestly, it’s one of the best and cheapest buffets you’ll find in New York. For that price, the variety and quality are impressive.
They had a lot of options, including drinks, fresh samosas, crispy kachori, and many delicious Iftar items. Everything was well-prepared and flavorful. The food kept coming out fresh, and there was something for everyone to enjoy.
For just $19.99 in New York, this buffet is an amazing deal. Great taste, great variety, and great value. Highly recommended, especially during Ramadan!

This restaurant has a serious issue with staff neglect and customer service. I would not recommend this place if you're looking for a reliable dining experience. The atmosphere may be inviting, but the service is sadly lacking.
I ordered over the phone, and about 40 minutes later I heard, “We never got the order.” Then I tried to order over the counter, but the two girls completely ignored and kept themselves busy gossiping and listening to AirPods. I tried again; one said 10 minutes, and the other scared me with a 25-30 minutes of wait time.
I had to leave with nothing but wasted time.
I am not expecting an apology note from the owner. I would rather see you taking action.

I was there for Samosa and China. The lady’s was behind the counter was very rude. I was asking. Is there any chutney come with it? She’s not responding and wrapping another food. I was standing a couple of more minutes and I ask again they were very rude, That’s why resturant have very low ratings….

I haven’t had the chance to try Chandni Restaurant’s main dishes yet in Valley Stream, NY, but their mithai and snacks are absolutely the best in the area. The gulab jamun and ras malai are fresh, perfectly sweet, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The snacks like samosas and pakoras are crispy and flavorful too. Great selection of Pakistani sweets, friendly service, and reasonable prices. Definitely my go-to spot for desserts and quick bites. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic mithai. Can’t wait for an opportunity to come back for the full menu.
