    This is the smaller one between the two Cafe Rio situated by the same road. The decoration and cleanliness is good. Foods are good. However, there is no remarkable item. They mainly serve different chicken dishes! Staff are friendly. You can book this place in advance for parties as well. This is a good place for walk-in buffet as well.

    We went to this restaurant on November 1, 2017 to eat dinner buffet with colleagues. The food was average & the overall service was poor. The restaurant was crowded & there’s hardly any place to sit & eat dinner. The staffs were not well trained. They were delaying to refill. The overall experience wasn’t pleasant. However, the price is reasonable & it’s one of the lowest priced buffets in Dhaka.

    Pros. 1. They have an air-conditioning system there. 2. The staff are well behaved. 3. The food quality is quite good in my opinion. 4. The washroom is neat and clean. Cons. 1. The refill time is very long. 2. Honestly it is Ok for a small gathering, not something big. 3. They stopped the air-conditioning system in the middle of the program. The overall experience was good for me.

    I attended on a buffet at cafe rio which was 60 items at 550 taka. That buffet's premium feature was Mutton Kacchi and Kala Bhuna. They served both these items about half an hour later. Taste was not good infact I felt they added some extra ingredients. Then, Lets come to the drinks. Only Pepsi was available. No7up, No Dew🙃. Most of them were not refrigerated properly. I was really disappointed by tasting dessert items. No pestry was available. Not only that, Shahi Tukra which was the premium item in the dessert section tasted bad. Now, you can ask me why I gave two stars. The reasons are : 1. Thai Soup, Spring Roll, Beef Lever and Semai's taste can be rate 7/10. 2. They were trying to add food whenever the dish got empty.

  • 2/5 Mobarak H. 1 year ago on Google • 94 reviews
    They have attractive business policy like buffet at lowest price among the city. Party booking is also available here. You can book the restaurant for any kind of occasion. The location is in fantastic area. Arrangement and Interior are quite good. Lighting is also attractive. Seat arrangement are economical. The entrance path is narrower. The lift is also of less capacity 4/5 people at the same time that is bit congested for taking such a big crowd. The food display zone is very narrow to walk. You can be in collision with other body in taking foods. But as considering less price buffet it is quite okay. Washroom is also congested. Not accurately cleaned. Found electric multiplug in open area that can be dangerous for child. The customer also make the area messy by throwing tissue paper here and there. People should be more concern to keep wasted paper in right place. Staff manner are as usual. When I lastly visited with my wife and 1.5 years daughter, they keep me one side row of sofa of 4 seated sofa. But it can't be adjustable for us as we have some shopping bags with us also. When we would like to seat on both side row, they stopped us and we would like get out from there. But the manager stop us in our walk and arrange four seat table with chair for us. However we accept his offer and considering them as its so economical restaurant so they are using all seats may be it can be shared by different group of people. The food quality are average level to taste. So far its okay beyond of their price range. However please never waste food. Don't take more food if you really don't need it. I am sorry to advise but you see some people really take much food and wasted some of them.

  • 4/5 amit h. 1 year ago on Google • 132 reviews
    A very popular buffet restaurant at Zigatola. It is located just at the Zigatola Bus Stand. The decoration of the restaurant is normal and the accommodation is very small. There are almost 50 types of food items but several of the items are unnecessary. There is only one biriyani item- chicken biriyani but the taste is not up to the mark. There are various chicken items but almost all the chicken items are average. There are 3 beef item and also those are average on taste. The only mutton item is tasty. There are various types of Salad items but those are also average in taste. There is no Ice-cream item and if you want to have any Ice-cream you have to pay at least 150 taka. Overall if you want to enjoy a buffet launch or dinner at a lower price this restaurant can be recommended. If your budget is good you should choose other options.

  • 3/5 Oshim T. 11 months ago on Google • 130 reviews
    I recently visited this buffet and had an average experience. The food taste was just okay and nothing exceptional. However, one thing that bothered me was that the waiters did not clean the tables unless we asked them to. Additionally, I was disappointed to find out that the beef curry was available without any beef. Overall, it was an average experience with room for improvement.

    Nice place for hangout. Buffet menu is good and food quality is fine . But here they have less item than the Uttara Branch. It will be better to reserve a sit before you check in and For Friday, you have to confirm booking more than 2 days before.

    This was hands down the best Chinese dinner I have ever eaten...in my life! We had the chicken and green beans with brown rice and the orange chicken. We started with green tea and the most delicious vegetable spring rolls I have ever had! This was conveniently located right next to the Frozen broadway show.

    Worst restaurant of Dhaka. We thought the quality of food will be better, as it is a branch of Cafe Rio, but we were very much disappointed. Comparing to other Cafe Rio branches, It's the worst one. Their food taste, service, quantity, quality etc. are very low. I did not find any single item, which is worth tasting.

    Food quality.....literally disgusting. I've never seen such bad cooking in any restaurant in my life, and number of food items were very few. The waiters were not friendly at all. The place was not spacious, i had to bump with other guests everytime i went to grab some food. Overall, the experience was "never too return here again"

    Food is average but I mostly didn’t like the environment there. Not clean enough and lack of hygiene. The lift, stairs are dirty. Just after the elevator people are sitting beside which seems very awkward. Price is average of this kind of buffet in Dhanmondi.

    The buffet was so underwhelming. The number of dishes was disappointing and so was the taste of every single item. The desserts in particular were a huge pass.

  • 3/5 Minhazul A. 2 years ago on Google
    Their food should be better in taste. Items are huge but they need to improve their food taste. I had a buffet lunch there and I think they make lots of items but they should refill them faster. Only I face this at zigatala brunch.

    Heard a Lot, but was disappointed!! Heard a lot about them, so went in October, 2021 to try them out! Was disappointed with there food! It was our get to gather program. We booked cafe rio for our 80+ members. Most of the dishes were same taste, fry's were soggy, beef/mutton bhuna was average, crab was not good! Some Items were better such as the kaliza bhuna, soup ! Desert was too much average! Management is fine! Price is a bit high also according to their menu! First impression was damn bad in cafe rio.

    Very famous restaurants in Dhanmondi area for it Buffett. Their space and guest capacity is above than average and comparing to other nearst restaurant. Buffets items are not just only for count but for remarkable. All items are really representative where many other restaurant just add unnecesaary items or nominal items to buffets menu

  • 4/5 Md. Abir H. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) 1. The food is not as tasty as you might expect. There is no test for beef in particular. Absolutely plain meat. 2. Lots of people are gathering. 3. You have to pay the bill as soon as you eat. 4. Get as many drinks as you like. But the more you eat, the more you will lose because the more you drink, the more you will fail. 5. The use of staff was good. . The cow's liver was good. . The crab did not taste good. . Dessert or confectionery items were worse than jaggery. 550 rupees is better if you are a food lover. Overall good at this price. (Original) ১। খাবার অতটাও সুস্বাদু নয় যতটা আপনি আশা করে যাবেন। বিশেষ করে গরুর মাংসের কোন টেস্ট নেই। একেবারে প্লেইন মাংস। ২। প্রচুর লোক সমাগম হয়। ৩। খাবার খেতে খেতেই বিল পরিশোধ করতে হয়। ৪। ড্রিংকস যত খুশি তত পাবেন। কিন্তু যত খাবেন ততই লসে পরবেন কারন বেশি ড্রিংকস করলে আপনি যার জন্য আসছেন তা ব্যার্থ হবে। ৫। স্টাফের ব্যবহার ভালই ছিল। ৬। গরুর কলিজাটা ভাল ছিল। ৭। কাকড়ার স্বাদ ভাল হয় নি। ৮। ডেজার্ট বা মিস্টান্ন আইটেমগুলো ছিল জঘন্নের চেয়েও খারাপ। যদি আপনি ভোজন রসিক হয়ে থাকেন তাতে ৫৫০ টাকায় ভালই। মোটের ওপর ভাল এই দামে।

    (Translated by Google) I have never eaten a bad buffet in my life. One of the people in the service doesn't seem to listen. If he doesn't want drinks, he disturbs them again and again. Guru Gost is very strict, there are no such class items. Max is not the only one who is keeping the service. Holding on to the neck. The dessert item is a little salat with lemon cucumber carrots. No star deserves it @The Cafe Rio gave him a star after that. The crappy buffet. (Original) এর থেকে বাজে বুফে আমার জীবনে ও খাই নাই । সার্ভিসে যে লোকজন রাখছে একটা ও মনে হয় কানে শুনে না । ড্রিংকস না চাইলে ও বার বার ড্রিংকস নিয়ে ডিস্টার্ব করে । গুরু গোস্ত একদম শক্ত ,তেমন কোনো ক্লাস আইটেম নাই । সার্ভিস যে লোক রাখছে মাক্স ঠিক মত একজনে পরে নাই । গলায় জুলিয়ে রাখছে । ডেজার্ট আইটেম সামান্য সালাত লেবু শসা গাজর দিয়ে রাখছে । কোনো স্টার পাওয়ার যোগ্য তা রাখে না @The Cafe Rio তার পরে ও এক স্টার দিলাম । ফালতু ফালতু ফালতু বুফে ।
