Where to Eat in Dhaka City: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Densely populated and humming with activity at all hours, Dhaka is a city of contrasts between old and new, rich and poor, industry and folk. From the concrete National Parliament House and ultramodern Bashundhara City, the largest shopping mall in South Asia, to the 17th Century Lalbagh Fort and the open markets along the city's side streets, these contrasts vividly shape the city. Visit the many mosques, temples and museums for a taste of Bengali culture and history.

Star is the pioneer food chain in Dhaka. Their speciality is kebab, biriyani. Their breakfast items are very popular. I love the brain bhuna, Kolija (cow lever) bhuna, nehari and the milk tea. You have to go early in the morning, otherwise these special items will sold out.

The food has improved in this place. Just wish they did something about decor and hand washing areas.
Good points:
- Food is amazing. The chicken kebab and khatta khat are amazing with the roomali rooti. I like my food with a kick and this place delivers well.
- The faluda is great (but only downfall is that its served in a glass)
- Eating indoors is better option
Bad points:
- Washing area looks dirty
- Poor decor and hasnt changed for 15 years
- The beggars outside are a bit of a hassle. Only restaurant where it was an issue

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 334 reviews
A fine-dining Japanese restaurant in calm, spacious surroundings - a little in contrast to the rest of our boisterous city!
Reviewed By Frederique H - Tourcoing
A beautiful place in the middle of Dhaka city.
You definitely forget that you are in a noisy town as the restaurant is nicely decorated.
Outside garden is beautiful as well.
Food quality is perfect ! Nothing to complain about !!
The only negative issue is the price. It’s a bit expensive.
I know we are in a Muslim country but as an international place, we could definitely have the opportunity to drink alcohol.
Just bring your bottles !
Perfect place for a night with friends or diner with customers.

8. Hazir Biriani
Overall Ratings
4 based on 447 reviews
Reviewed By One_Bangali - Dhaka City, Bangladesh
Hazir Birani dates back to the Mughal era of Bangladesh (1202 to 1757). It is located in Kazi Alauddin Road, Nazira Bazaar, Old Dhaka. This famous biryani house serves the best mouth watering biryani in the whole country. The price is good and the food tastes great. This place is a must try if you visit Dhaka.
But customers should beware of the many fake “Hazir Birani” that have cropped up across Dhaka trading on the good name of the original Hazir Birani. Their food is of dubious quality.

Reviewed By rashid h
I visited this place couple of times. Unfortunately the food and service is not as before. There was a magical touch in bunka's food once which i didn't find this time. Almost every food that was served had nothing mention worthy. Wasted my money for no good reason.
