Food: Started out with the assorted appetizers which had a nice selection of well fried food (chicken wings, shrimp, etc.), samosa chat, and meat samosa. All presented on a large platter, non-greasy,...

I really wish I could understand the lovefest that's going on for Spicy Mina. I get it, I understand that this is a really low-key home cooking type of restaurant. That's fine, but I thought the...

I went to this place based on the reviews here on Yelp. First, I would like to say that the food was very good. It was really like home cooking to me. The unfortunate part was that it took so long to...

Definitely tasty! Me and my boyfriend were in the mood for Indian and I felt like branching out and visiting a new neighborhood, and we landed on Spicy Mina. There's a lot of bad Indian food in this...

The restaurant is very small and quite uninviting, if you are walking around the neighbourhood. But if it comes recommended, I am pretty certain that they also say "go for the food". Just don't be in...

To me, the best part of living in NYC is the food...and Queens is the place to eat. Unfortunately, I moved to the Midwest and the food I long for the most is Mina's cooking. Everyone knows Jackson...

Mina, could you be my personal cook? I don't count myself as part of Donald Trump's progeny, so...uhhh... maybe we can swap services? You could cook two meals a day for me and I could run errands...

All I can say is WOW! I have never been more pleasantly surprised by any restaurant before. We walked in and sat down and the place was not very easy on the eyes, but as soon as the food came out,...

When one looks at the exterior of Spicy Mina, it looks nondescript, almost hole-in-the-wall-ish. Until you sit down, order, and start chowing down-- the food is quite simply, amazing. You can tell...

Whoa mama, could this place use a face lift or what? I had bookmarked this place for months, and finally decided to check it out. While walking up to it, I did a double take. My Mom actually asked me...

Yep, it's good. My friend order cashew chicken and hers was the best one. I would order that. I thought it would be kindof greasy and creamy (the menu said it had some type of butter in it), but it...

I have hesitated to write a review of Spicy Mina for a year now because I want it to stay out-of-the-way and undiscovered, but in all fairness I decided I should share my secret with other Yelpers....

Five star rating for when it's on. When it's clicking, this is wonderful Bengali food. Get the Aachar Gosht and the Bhendi Massala. Avoid Navratna Korma. It's fine, but Mina is a place to...

I really liked this place because it reminded me of my mom's cooking. We had the chicken biryani, daal, naan, and chicken tikka masala. Everything was good, but the daal was especially good. The...

Very fresh and tasty, nice and spicy. We shared the Shak Ponir (spinach with cheese), which had leaves and stems instead of green sludge. And instead of squared hunks of white chewy cheese, the dish...

I am Bengali and every time I want food that is as good as my mother's I head over to Spicy Mina. I love their meat dishes because it's tender and not overwhelmed with spices. You taste the different...
