Asia Bangladesh Dhaka Dining

Overview

Dining The guide was updated: 2024-05-22

Bangladeshi cuisine has been largely shaped by the country's geography: a vast network of intertwining rivers and deltas with seasonal monsoons and floods. As such, rice is a staple in the country's diet, along with lentils and, of course, river fish. This is all served with fragrant curries and warm breads, and it is filling and delectable. Add in some fine international restaurants, and visitors will eat more than their share while in Dhaka.

Al-Razzaque

Al-Razzaque

If you want to eat like the locals do, you can't miss Al-Razzaque. This place serves up local dishes, like curries, biryanis and enormous rotis at good prices. It is incredibly popular with locals, so it can be quite crowded, but the food is so good, it is definitely worth the wait.

Dhaba Banani

Dhaba Banani

Dhaba Banani serves dishes from all over Asia, but their specialty lies with Indian street food. Anything you order is bound to be delicious and good value, and the setting is clean and modern. For the full experience, make sure to order a fresh fruit juice.

Spaghetti Jazz

Spaghetti Jazz

For something a bit less spicy, how about some Italian? Spaghetti Jazz offers some of the best pizza and pasta dished in Dhaka, as well as other Italian favourites like antipasti or meat dishes. The location is very convenient, and the ambiance is modern and pleasant.

Gulshan Plaza Restaurant

Gulshan Plaza Restaurant

Another favourite among locals, this conveniently located restaurant serves up some of the best meat dishes in the whole city, from beef and chicken to mutton. The bread is always fresh and delicious, and you can even try the delicious yoghurt drink, lassi.

Fakruddin

Fakruddin

Some people claim that Fakruddin has the very best biryani in all of Dhaka. If the crowds that gather here are any indication, then that just might be the case. The servings are massive, and the delicious food keeps customers returning time and time again.

Bamboo Shoot

Bamboo Shoot

For authentic Chinese cuisine, there is no better place in Dhaka than Bamboo Shoot. Not only is the food worth the trip (the menu offers a huge variety of Chinese delicacies and favourite staples), but visitors can also enjoy and even participate in some karaoke.
