I went with a friend, love that food and natural juiceMy friend always looks for chicharron, I was happy with any meat, I think I ordered the Chuleta. They also had Chinola :)Parking is tricky in this areaPrices are fair, typical 10-20 rangeService was fast, people were nice (good customer service)Its a small store, but room enough to eat, although it was semi packOverall worth going, especially near the area during lunch break

Wow. Went here today and tried 2 different plates and some sides and everything was perfectly cooked and outstandingly delicious. I'm still thinking about the flavors, portions and reasonable price. Definitely coming back.

Was in Lowell for business purposes on a Sunday and was famished! I looked up restaurants in the area and Bani Restaurant came across my page, We stopped in around 5pm kinda late not many choices but the little they had there hit the spot! Nice clean location, the owner and her husband just took over this business from another family member and they are absolutely the kindest, nicest people you wish to always come across! Downfall no public restroom understandable but the let us use the employees restroom out back, clean and fully stocked! I highly recommend visiting this business if you’re in the area, Always support the local businesses!

If you're looking for great Hispanic food that tastes as if "abuela" cooked it, then this is the place. They also have passion fruit drinks and great desserts. The food is in front to pick, and the owners are nice. A taste of PR in Lowell, MA. Tell them Tony sent you, Franks friend.

Buy the pork belly by the pound, and buy a large rice separate. Amazing food, and the pork belly is crispy and delicious every time.
