All else apart, food quality is not very good at the Rifles Square outlet. Their gulshan outlet is different. Food was much better here and served in healthy plates. Overall, not very impressive. More

The only reason that you go to Dhaba is for the greaat food, especially their famous Kebabs which are the best in Dhaka. Everything else is pretty ordinary, especially the interior which is a maze of small rooms, and knowing where to order take-awy is also cery confusing for a newcomer. More

I've eaten here several times and love the chaat and kebabs. The restaurant has a simple but relaxed atmosphere. The service is quick and friendly. One of our favorite kebab places in Dhaka! More

we used there a lot but our last visit cemented the notion that Dhaba only serves good chat which is delicious and the dahi is always fresh but apart from that, the curries and main dishes are very mediocre. I have tried a lot of their dishes to be fair but never seem to like them. Service is slow and... More

The food was scrumptious and the service was pretty good. Waiters were candid, friendly and left no room for complaint. The place wasn't exactly spotless, but that made it all the more authentic koz it's Dhaka! More

Widely regarded as one of the best restaurants of its kind, Dhaba offers inexpensive and strightforward South Asian food. The chicken or beef kebabs and garlic naan are worth a try - and the dahi puchka is popular. It's often a buzzing place, jammed pack with families, students and expats. Take-out is also available.

This is a good restaurant - great for Dhaka. Our tour book had the wrong address, it is actually a few blocks away from Road 11 on Road 12, Banani (not on Road 11, as our book, and likely your's, says). They featured a wide variety of dishes including Indian, Chinese, and Bengla. Biriani was plentiful. They also had mutton... More

Been there 2 times. But it is not recommended. The service is pretty bad and the wuality of food is not something to write about. Better avoid. Quite surprising that the restaurant closes at 10:30 pm. More
