The smiles, smells and tastes provide an overall experience of joy and euphoria that is hard to look past and that demands many revisits to come.

Seafood – Manhattan Fish Market

Seafood is definitely a favorite for everyone in Bangladesh, let alone Dhaka. Those residing in the concrete jungle of Banani are highly critical of the seafood they get from local stores and restaurants. But even when everyone becomes major critics, no one complains about the delicacies served by Manhattan Fish Market, located in the heart of Banani on Kemal Ataturk Avenue. Apart from the fact that every mouthful is fresh and crisp, it becomes difficult to complain when the mind is engulfed in the flavors of the sea. From fish to mussels, excellent service and dishes surpass every expectation. The Manhattan Fish Market has even thrown in a couple of chicken items on the menu for your friend who is averse to seafood, so there is no excuse not to go. Though on the expensive side, those fortunate enough to live nearby will tell you there is no price to put on taste so fulfilling.

Oriental Cuisine – Yum Cha District

Another point of interest for the generation of foodies is oriental cuisine. Over the years, Dhaka city has been bombarded with ‘Chinese’ and ‘Thai’ restaurants which all serve a cuisine we refer to as ‘Bangla Chinese’ – the localisation of oriental cuisine incorporating more traditional flavors. But only in recent years has the true essence of oriental cuisine reached restaurants in Dhaka. The latest provider of such fine dishes has been Yum Cha District on Banani 11 (near the Bproperty Marketplace). Their assortment of dim sum, rice and noodle dishes, chicken and beef items, seafood delicacies and vegetarian delights have kept mouths watering and asking for more. Over the last few months, as far as popular restaurants go, Yum Cha District has made its mark on Banani as a must visit eatery.

Steak – Woodhouse Grill

From our rich heritage of ‘chaap’, we have come all the way over to steak. A slab of meat fit for kings has to be prepared fit for kings. And recently, no one makes a meaner steak than Woodhouse Grill in the social heart of Dhaka, Banani 11. In just a few months, Woodhouse Grill has become the top recommendation for steak lovers and date goers. Steak is not easy to prepare. There are so many people that like their steak cooked in so many ways; from rare to well done. The servers first bring around a tray with different cuts of raw steak for you to choose from. The magnificent cooks in the back then go on to turn it into the perfect steak you had asked for. The days of steak disappointment are well behind us now thanks to the wonderful service of Woodhouse Grill.

All of the popular restaurants in Banani on this list will surpass your expectations in terms of food quality; no possible complaints. Banani has excellent proximity to great educational institutions, shopping places and groceries, and also functions as the midpoint of important sections of Dhaka. But the availability of great food, both for dining in and takeaway, makes Banani a must visit place. And of course we love to eat out, so we have to go over.
