  • 4/5 Maisha Maliha R. 2 years ago on Google
    Pretty good indian food restaurant with neat interior. Personally, the foods were a little bland for me but overall great place for family meet-up. Groups of middle-aged to old people come here with family so it's not very ideal for young people meet-up or date. But definitely recommended for family and must visit as a group of at least 3 people or more as all the foods are shareable on that range.

    exceptional taste. definitely a good place to visit with your family. I love their pakora platter. Their special thai soup is also really good and a bit different. Paneer Butter Masala and Chicken Bhorta are two of their items i find great and unique. You can also try Dosa here. its very impressive.

    One of my most choiced and great Indian food restaurant in Dhaka. It's a very old restaurant but somehow they have been holding their fame and name by their qualities and services. Nice but simple ambiance. Though the prices are very high. The test of foods are really awesome.

    Standard Indian cuisine offering restaurant at the corner of Dhanmondi 32. The ambiance is more formal side with family n professional dine-in n meetup. Menu is rich with various quality dishes matching with prices. Have a try their biriyani, kabab n Dosa. You will like this restaurant if your taste buds can differential authentic Indian dishes. Have a try and thank me later.

    I have ordered cashew nut salad, Tandori chicken and kulfi. Cashew nut salad is truly cashew nut salad without Chicken 🙄🙄 you can find a good amount of cashew nut, onions, cucumber. But taste was good. Now, chicken tandori was too good. Soft, Juicy and smoky..But The kulshi was too much sweet. Highly recommended for indian food and kabab..

  • 4/5 Wasephious M. 8 months ago on Google • 28 reviews
    Food tastes good. But interior designing is way too much. I failed to understand the theme. From the menu, it looks traditional indian food. But it is not reflected in their way too busy interior design. A couple of things I have to mention about their food. Firstly, they do not serve any dipping sauce (Chutney) with kababs. After I asked for some Chutney, I was told that they only have ketchup. Secondly, their Tungry kababs may marinated. Those seem like they are under marinated.

    Must try Indian restaurant in Dhaka. They’ve always maintained a reasonable standards and offer a large variety of Indian delicacies. The food can be at times little inconsistent usually during off peak times but if you know what to order then it’s usually not going to disappoint. I recommend trying their kababs if you can handle little spicy flavor

    One of the worst experiences ever. Their food is delicious, there is no doubt. However, they have the worst staff ever. They do not know how to talk politely or even deal with an unexpected situation. They inserted my card in their machine and immediately I got message and email that the bill has been paid, but the machine did not produce any receipt. I informed the waiter about that. Instead of politely requesting me to call or recheck with the bank, the waiter rudely asked me to insert the card again. I told them to wait while I talk to the bank. The customer care took a long time to answer as usual. During this 10 minutes, all the staff came one by one to check us as if we were some kind of criminals and will run away without paying the bill. However, the issue was resolved and even after getting the payment, they did not have the courtesy to apologize to us for the inconveniences caused. I would request the authority to train their staff and ask them to politely handle any situation. Just making the waiter wear suit does not make them professional.

    Once upon a time it was a good Indian Restaurant to dine with family but recently they disappointed us. The atmosphere is not as fresh as before, wall paints have crack, rooms were smelly, shortage of waiters and they are not well trained to serve your food decently. When it comes to food it disappoints the most, from appetizer to main dish everything lacks that special touch as it had before. Sad to see such a favorite restaurant of mine detoriating so badly within a few years.

  • 2/5 Rajib Dey S. 5 months ago on Google • 71 reviews
    Santoor Restaurant's Dhanmondi branch offers a diverse menu with unconventional dishes, creating a unique culinary experience. The food, undeniably tasty, is served in a calm and cool ambiance despite its bustling location in the heart of Dhanmondi. The restaurant's central position on Dhanmondi 32, Dhaka, adds to its appeal. However, the positives come at a sky-high hefty price, making it less appealing when compared to other restaurants of similar status in Dhanmondi, Banani, Gulshan, and Uttara. The sky-high prices might not justify the dining experience for many patrons. Additionally, the staff lacks the warmth expected in such premium establishments; they are not only less cordial but also in short supply, which can impact the overall service quality. Santoor Chinese Restaurant, being one of Dhaka City's oldest and most prestigious dining establishments, holds historical significance. Despite this, it might not be the ideal choice for family gatherings or friends' get-togethers due to the high cost and service limitations.

    Santoor Restaurant's Dhanmondi branch promises a distinctive culinary adventure with its unconventional menu, offering a unique dining experience in the vibrant heart of Dhanmondi on 32, Dhaka. Despite the bustling location, the ambiance exudes a calm and cool atmosphere, contributing to the restaurant's allure. The undeniable tastiness of the dishes, however, comes at a considerable cost, rendering it less attractive compared to peers in Dhanmondi, Banani, Gulshan, and Uttara. The elevated prices may not align with the overall dining experience for many patrons. Furthermore, the staff's demeanor falls short of expectations for a premium establishment, lacking both warmth and adequate numbers, potentially impacting service quality. As one of Dhaka City's oldest and prestigious dining establishments, Santoor Chinese Restaurant carries historical significance. Yet, it may not be the top choice for family gatherings or friend reunions due to its high costs and service limitations, despite being a favorite spot in Dhanmondi. The restaurant's prime location and appealing interior, coupled with a dedicated parking zone, make it a decent choice for family and friends. While the food receives positive feedback for its taste, the overly busy interior design raises questions about the theme's coherence. Despite these concerns, Santoor Restaurant remains a popular choice, especially for those seeking a distinctive ambiance and a menu that offers a blend of tradition and innovation.

    I just ordered their , tandoori chicken , sizzling vegetable , paneer butter masala and yellow fall butter fry with some garlic naan and it was great . They never fail and kudos to them for maintaining such good food and service . It was a home delivery and they were more than generous and cautious about it . One of the best for Indian cuisine . Must try .

    An old fashioned and traditional restaurant in Dhanmondi area. There are so many new restaurants there in Dhanmondi but Santoor is still a very good choice for many dinner in Dhaka city for its long-time service and food quality. Very good option for family gathering, official meeting, couple or solo dine-in.

  • 3/5 Kamruzzaman C. 1 year ago on Google
    The service and atmosphere was very nice. Butter chicken was disappointed. Had higher hopes for the food. The food is missing the spice and aroma that a good Indian dish has.

    It is not the same Santoor. I used to many years ago. Poor maintenance, Food quality is comparable to some cheap indian Restaurant. Dirty toilet. Staff behaviour is also not good ( average typical Bangladeshi people behaviour)

  • 4/5 Shajedul A. 1 year ago on Google
    The most authentic Indian cuisine place in Dhanmondi for a long time. The food, seating arrangements and the ambience is impressive. You will hear Santoor music at a low and soothing volume in the background. They have enough parking facilities.

    (Translated by Google) With Indian recipes, there are no less restaurants in Dhaka, even outside Dhaka! But, the taste, the arrangement, the atmosphere - in all cases Santur's comparison is still stuck with those few // And, yes, Santor still holds his own for the family witch. (Original) ইন্ডিয়ান রেসিপি নিয়ে তো আর কম রেস্তোরাঁ হলো না ঢাকায়, এমনকি ঢাকার বাইরেও! কিন্তু, স্বাদ, আয়োজন, পরিবেশ - সব ক্ষেত্রেই এখনো সান্তুর'এর তুলনা সেই অল্প কয়েকটার সাথেই ঠেকে আছে // আর, হ্যাঁ, পারিবারিক ডাইনের জন্যও সান্তুর এখনো তার মান ধরেই আছে //
