Are you a foodie looking for places where you can go and satiate your taste buds? If you are an abstemious eater, this article is probably not for you. However, if you are a voracious eater, you are in the right place. Read on to find out more. Here are some places where you can go with your friends or family members to satisfy your craving for food.

Khilgaon

Surprisingly, the main street of Khilgaon (Chowdhury Para road) has undergone a huge makeover in the last few years. Once deserted this place has now turned into one of the major hubs of restaurants. Youths from surrounding areas and even distant areas regularly gather here to satiate their taste buds as so many exquisite restaurants have been set up in this area. Most importantly, most of those restaurants serve sumptuous dishes and so, you will see a rush of foodies in all the places there. If you make your mind to going there, then you can feel assured that you are going to get everything you want. If you are a coffee lover, then ‘AponCoffe House’ and ‘Popeyes Café’ are there to make you sip to the last drop. If you want to taste something exotic like ‘Mexican Nachos’, then ‘Sub Lovers’ is the best choice since their nachos will force you to lick your fingers. Moreover, restaurants like ‘Cherry Drops’, Al Fresco etc. offer very yummy pizzas in the city to the foodies at an affordable price.

Gulshan

There is no denying that Gulshan is like a food paradise to many, foreigners living in Dhaka in particular. Gulshan is always ready to greet you with infinite opportunities to please your gastronomic senses. There is a plethora of exquisite restaurants to choose from offering authentic dishes. One can try Thai, Chinese, Mexican or Sri Lankan foods and the list goes on. Most importantly the aesthetic beauty of those places will blow your senses and make you feel so serene that you cannot help but eat. Well, if you have a craving for seafood, look no further other than ‘The fish and co’ that offers an exquisite collection of fishes. Another option is ‘Saltz’. The décor with its intentionally dimmed lights is complementary to the menu and here in this place you can have the biggest lobsters in the city.

Uttara

It’s Uttara after all. Of course, there’s amazing food here in this place! People dwelling in that area no more need to go to other areas to have delicious dishes. There are so many international food chains (Burger King, KFC, Johnny Rockets etc.) located in Uttara where you can go to create some lasting memories. Meanwhile, many cafes have opened up to meet the tastes of people from all walks of life. For example- there is café named ‘Coffee Glory’ in Sector 1, Uttara. It offers twelve kinds of coffee that are imported from foreign countries like Jamaica, Brazil, Indonesia and Colombia.

Old Dhaka

No matter in which part of the city you live, when it comes to sumptuous dishes Old Dhaka is second to none. People living in this area of the capital are lovingly called ‘foodies’ (‘vojonbilashi’ in Bengali). In particular, if you taste biriyani here, there is no denying that you will have to come back time and again in this part of the capital. Two brands, Haji Biriyani and NannaBiriyani, have already earned so much repute that they have opened many other branches around the city to cater to the growing culinary demands of the foodies. Moreover, if you pay a visit to Old Dhaka and do not have ‘special tea’ of Sultan Vai available at Victoria Park, then your visit will remain incomplete. Bakorkhani is another traditional bakery product that is sure to grab your attention. Apart from these, different restaurants in that area offer different delectable dishes (inspired from Mughal period) to the food lovers.
