Chef owner Abul Ibrahim runs Roshona Bilash with his wife, Jasmine, and their two adult children from a compact strip mall space in Melrose Hill. The restaurant serves Bangladeshi dishes such as kebabs, roti, biryani, chicken tikka wraps and nihari, with complimentary chai available near the register.

The restaurant's small team means waits can be longer during busy periods and some dishes may run out. Diners planning a quick meal may want to call ahead for takeout.
