    I don't know what's so special about their food. The place is historically significant and so the ambience is different from regular restaurants. That is the actual gimmick. But the food is pretty much average, to me. They serve rice with fish or chicken or vegetables. Service is good enough. Prices are very reasonable. Seating arrangements are not that comfortable but okay.

    Beauty boarding is situated at Old Dhaka near Banglabazar. It's a meeting place of all intellectual peoples like poets, writer, cultural activist, politicians etc. In the restaurant they are providing various kinds of tasty meals specially sorshey elish, macher dim and tomato vorta. All foods are mouth-watering. So if you still didn't visit there i will suggest you to go now. You can take good snaps here so you won't be disappointed at all.

    You are reading this because you have heard the name of 'Beauty Boarding' and intended to go there. Before going there, few things please keep in your mind. First, modern amenities are absent here. Second, you can be stacked in traffic. If you consider these then you can scroll down. 'Beauty Boarding' is located in the old part of Dhaka city. The river Buriganga is in walking distance. The largest book market of Bangladesh 'Banglabazar' and one of the busiest business hub 'Shyam bazar' are in the vicinity of this boarding. So, in a working day you may face huge traffic congestion here. Leave your car and use 'rickshaw' to reach the boarding in a working day. This is also applicable for holiday as the road is narrow and scarce parking facility. You will get here pure bengali food. Taste is very good. But do not look for modern cutlery. This hundred years old 'Beauty Boarding' serves food and water in stainless steel plate and glass. But they don't compromise with the quality of food. Here is residential fcility with no modern amenities. Actually this is a historical place and the authority trying to save the heritage. If you feel the oldness of this place then you will be amazed, I bet. Thank you.

    It's a place to feel the legends of Bangladesh who left for long long ago and got together there to gossip. It's a hindu religion focused place, though people of all religions can go there, can eat, hang out and do enjoy. Beauty Boarding (Bengali: বিউটি বোর্ডিং) is a hotel and restaurant located in old Dhaka. It is a historical center of the intellectual gathering of Bengali authors, poets, cultural activists, and politicians. The place has been widely commemorated in their arts and writings. Currently, the place is popular for serving Bengali food, though it also serves other Indian food.[1] [2] The building was originally a zamindar house and belonged to a zaminder named Shudheer Das. Before Partition of India in 1947, the building was the office of the daily newspaper Shonar Bangla. By 1951, the newspaper moved its office to Kolkata. When the newspaper left, the building was rented by a local neighbour Nalini Mohon Saha and he started a restaurant and boarding house there. The boarding house was named after his eldest daughter, Beauty. Soon Beauty Boarding became a popular place to book traders from all over the country used to come to Banglabazar, the centre of book publishing, printing and stationery wholesale market in Dhaka.[1]I

    Old Dhaka... A place full of Heritages. Beauty Boarding is one of the oldest boardings in East Bengal. It's a hotel constructed in early 1910's where famous personnel like Rabindranath Tagore, Jashim Uddin, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman visited. The boarding has a small garden on their premises. Surrounded by congested brick structures, it has a touch of British Hindu Architecture. The hotel is now mostly used for their lunch meal. Food sold in the hotel are mainly prepared following West Bengal Cuisine methodology. Taste of food has drastically fallen and lost it's traditional fame.

  • 4/5 Ahammad ullah J. 4 years ago on Google • 43 reviews
    Is a historical place. Lots of literate & political stayed here for a long time before independence journey of Bangladesh. Mainly its a residential hotel but its canteen gets more popularity than the main era. Rent of the hotel rooms is very cheap cause the buildings are old more than 50 years old. Its filled with green trees just infront of the hotel building. It has own parking area. Systems of the hotel building are epic. Canteen supplies here fresh make traditional foods, which they cooked from the very beginning. Some old visitor says that taste remains almost same as was early age.Cost of the hotel canteen r as like current market not less as hotel rooms. It has a reason & that is there is a lots of customer comes here to take only meals here. So the price of food here is as like running hotels. Reason of increasing the price is traditional foods cooked with traditional way.

  • 4/5 SSTturan JFF (. 4 years ago on Google
    It's a very historical place containing many historic events. Father of independent Bangladesh Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as well as so many litterateur, poets, and politicians such as the first prime minister of independent Bangladesh 'Tajuddin Ahmed', poet Jasimuddin, Samsur Rahman, litterateur Syed Shamsul Haque and so many others had their meal here over times. This place is as old enough as Purano dhaka is. It was one of the first restaurant of dhaka situated within the area of river port. So, the buildings are very old as well. Though this place doesn't allow rich food but has the capability to offer healthy foods.

👍👍 First and probably the best Handi. Mostly known for their Hyderabadi Biryani. But my personal favorite is Chicken Reshmi Butter Masala. So delicious and satisfactory. Prices are a bit on the higher side. Service and seating arrangements are fine.
