We had doi-chira here. The food tastes average but I am still giving it a 4 star because the person at the cash counter was really kind and allowed me to refill my water bottles from their filter.
Its a very good restaurant at this area. Specially their breakfast items and chap/grill/kebab items in the evening is mouth watering. Their nihari is really good. I like chicken chap at evening. But try to avoid their juice items/ lacchi. You can also try bhorta/bhaji/rice/jhal fry/beef/mutton at lunch.
Very popular restaurants in Banglamotor, Dhaka area.... In reasonable price.
This is the best kabab restaurant in bd in terms of price to taste performance. All prices are vat included while they are reasonable. They don't have a food which is average. Every food item I have tasted so far is at least above average. Cons : No toilet, very average ambiance.
This is as local as it gets. Rotisserie chicken, kebabs, paranthas, naans, khichuri, biriyani, borhani are among some of the must try items. Does not account for much in the ambiance department. However, food is mouth watering. No reservations required, you just go in and a waiter would soon take your order. If alone, chances are high you'll have to dine with strangers, who would sit at your table during busy service. Us the Dhakaiyans, don't mind.
best quality lunch . denar and breakfast. chicken meets and fish
Enough good quality food in this area. Good for shik kabab, chap and parata. Recommend to try these items.
