Shares excellent food with heartfelt greetings, warmth, love and caring. Rani shares a personal touch from everything she puts on the table, from samosas to her barbequed chicken, vegetables, and excellent home baked desserts. A hidden treasure in Riverdale!

I ordered on uber eats, I was supposed to get bogo samosas and I got 1. The chicken tasted day old out of a fridge. The cornbread was dry the brownie was hard and cold. The garlicy mash potatoes were meh I had to add some salt and butter. The is not a place to order from you will be disappointed.

Reading all these reviews I was excited to try this place as we are looking for a decent (just a decent) Rib/BBQ place and we ordered for pick up and ............... such a dissapointment.We had the half chicken and ribs combo ... as well as the catfish with greens and corn .... and potato salad with ribs.As someone mentioned in a previous review the ribs taste like they were cooked in the morning and then just warmed up. Dry and flavorless, Nothing tasted like it was cooked fresh on the spot. Chicken was tasteless no seasoning, same for the potato salad as well as collard greens. The fried catfish was decent but again under seasoned. Overall experience was underwhelming. Probably won't reorder from there. Gotta keep on looking I guess

This place is the jewel of riverdale. The food quality Is beyond anything anywhere in the area. Heck, it's better than anywhere else in the state! This place Is not your average barbecue joint. The food is homemade. The recipes are all from scratch. Everything from the feta cheese to the Greek salad to the chutney. For the simoses, he's a taste of authentic and hi caliber quality.. You're gonna spend $$$$ here. It's not cheap, but you don't get quality for cheap.
I write to recommend the Barbecue Pit located at 5788 Mosholu Avenue. Despite the restaurant being a Riverdale fixture for twenty plus years, my family just started being "regulars" there. Each time we go we are amazed at the quality of the food, including barbecue (see picture of me below) but also much more, including vegetarian options and Indian dishes reflecting the owner's Indian descent. That owner, Rani, is delightful!If you are looking for great food and a nice quiet atmosphere, I strongly recommend you check out the Barbecure Pit.

The catfish was good. The tartar sauce was delicious! I mixed it with everything. The mashed potatoes was not garlicky as advertised but don't mind that. It just needed more gravy. The baked beans are good. The macaroni and cheese was not good. It is out of the box.

The food here is amazing. Especially ribs and bbq wings. First time for my father in law’s bday. Extra perk, the owner is wonderful and warm.We’ll be back!
The BBQ rib meat just fell off the bone. Delicious food! The BBQ chicken was flavorful and tender. The BBQ sauce was delicious as well. We had potatoes, sweet potatoes, and broccoli as sides. No complaints from the family, everyone went for seconds.

So I went to go pick up my food, therefore not having the full restaurant experience. The owner was really nice. The food with the exception of the ribs was not what I was expecting. The wings were a little hard, and so was the 3/4 chicken. Eggplant was not so good, nor was the macaroni salad. But again,I did not have the full experience. Might try some other foods and to reiterate , the owner was very warm and inviting.

So I've never updated a review twice let alone 3 times. But BBQ Pit is amazing. Ordered a whole blueberry pie without knowing the owner was on vacation. The night she returned she made it up ready for me for a surprise birthday function the next day. I'm running out of adjectives to describe how good her baking is. She could be running a pie business. As good as any I've had anywhere all over the USA. I cannot thank Rani enough for her kindness and her exquisite baking skills. I'll be back for more whole pies soon.

Fabulous, absolutely fabulous. Favorites are: ribs, pulled pork, fried chicken, tandoori chicken, soups. Also try the empanadas and other starters.
