PNK Surinamese Cuisine & Majnoon Cafe

You'll find one of Queens' best-kept secrets in a corner of South Richmond Hill: PNK Surinamese Cuisine, where Suriname's wild culinary mashup becomes the real deal. Order the crispy bitterbals, golden bakabana (fried plantain), and roti—tear it apart to scoop up perfectly spiced chicken curry. The chicken nasi straddles Chinese-style fried rice and something entirely Surinamese, reflecting the country's ethnic fusion. Grab Surinamese samosas for a snack, or go deeper with pom, the holiday casserole every household makes. Come for takeout or delivery, settle into the cozy, family-friendly space, and taste what happens when Dutch, Indonesian, African, and Indian cooking traditions crash together in the best way possible. This is authentic Surinamese food, untranslated and uncompromised.
