πŸ‘ Had Turkish Adana kebabs, both chicken and beef. They were so good! And the naan was soft and buttery. Their Bangkok style vegetable is the best but I forgot to take a photo of it. I wish their service was a bit faster. They always take a very long time to serve food! People often mention good, quality, buffet, items, restaurant, service, time, taste, rooftop, nice,

    Nice environment. The interior work and greenery all around are truly mind-blowingly beautiful. A good place to spend a wonderful time with family and friends. The work and behavior of the staff is very professional and courteous. But to be honest, while it's all nice, I think they need a little more attention to the main thing. People bring families to have a portion of good food as well as good time. None of their food except beef was tasty to me. Instead of giving 70 items only in number, give 20 items of good quality to have peace of mind.

    A place with a wonderful natural ambience, specifically that of plants, foliage, forest. The interior decoration has indications of branches and trees. The total seating area is very much spread out. They have a terrace with open air dining arrangements. You can find flower plants here and there. The quality of food is very good. The way they display the buffet items is wonderful. Salad and dessert include many different dishes. The staff there is very cooperative and well behaved. You can think of this place for various program like family dine out, friendly hang out or corporate gathering.

    Food quality wasn’t good enough. Very much crowded. Small space for food delivery zone. Service providers may be tired by giving services throughout the year. Atmosphere and decoration is good. Washroom facility is so narrow. Long time waiting for lift.

    We had buffet lunch in this amazing place. Cost was around 1100. The food was great. They had more than 100 items with unlimited soft drinks. Specially worth mentioning the Nihari and Thai soup. Most of the dessert items were mouth watering. And there's nothing left to say about their environment and interior design. One of the best looking interiors they have in the town!

    Nice, cool 😎 & attractive place in Dhaka. Food tastes awesome πŸ‘πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹ A few new foods they introduce which are very delicious you can try... The upper floor is more gorgeous than the lower floor. There are lots of areas on the rooftop that look like a foreign country location & you can't imagine without seeing... The couple area is isolated on the rooftop with mesmerizing decorations... Car πŸš— parking is available....

    It's a buffet place but you will not get every food item properly. They don't provide ample quantity. Especially deserts. Services aren't up to the mark either. The place needs to be more organized, and they should be more attentive to keep the food warm.

    When you arrive at this place you get forest or nature like vibes. I visited at night so the lighting added a new dimension to the experience. If I review each element part by part it would look like this: Food: 9/10 Price: 8/10 Ambiance: 9/10 Service: 9/10 They have a terrace with a drink station and open air restaurant which is a wonderful place for lunch. They have professional musicians playing jazz and pop and other tasteful and mellow kind of music that goes with the atmosphere. Also you can see the kitchen and take a photo with the chef or even show your cooking skills by posing with the skewers or frying pan.They let you do that too. I was there for the buffet and it is quite reasonable if you consider the quality of the food. They had around 100 items spread across entree, main course and desert with different cuisines blended together. Some of the highlights for me were the steak, the lobster, the steamed rice among the main dish. From the desert I liked brownies and the custard and the jelly. All in all it was my first buffet experience and it was a total delight; although I missed to have a taste of the salads but they looked really delicious as well. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to try a buffet in Dhanmondi area and also to the people who want a romantic evening with their special ones.

    Beautiful restaurant with forest vibes at top of 12th floor (rooftop) in Justice Amin Ahmed Centre, Dhanmondi, Dhaka-1205. Foods were tasty. We enjoyed buffet dinner 1050/- taka per person with 5% service charge & 10% vat . They also have child policy. They also have A La carte menu. They have indoor and outdoor service.They also have discount policy upto 12% with selected debit cards. Staffs were so friendly & co-operative even Egyptian chefs. Service was great. Cleanliness was good. Wash rooms were quite ok. My family enjoyed lots.

    Although this restaurant has an excellent ambiance, the taste of food is not up to the mark. Even the price is not that reasonable if you consider the taste. Good knowledge service of the waiters have. A better place to take a few photos with friends and locate in a beautiful area. They served the food in a decent way. It's better to go for dinner if you like a cosy low light environment with music.

    The Forest Lounge is renowned for its atmosphere, where you can experience a sense of there being greater meaning to life than what meets the eye. I visited this restaurant on the day of Eid Ul Adha day. It is full of crowd that time. It is a rooftop restaurant. The food is delicious though the service is little bit slow. I like the environment most. It is filled with green trees everywhere. This place is a natural beauty. There is another stairs on the rooftop to climp even more. But it was closed at the time of my visit. We tried Thai chicken soup, chicken fry, cashew nut salad and lemonade drink. Overall I would like to recommend this place.

    Forest lounge is an average buffet (food) lounge actually. If you want to spend time with your family and friends where spending time will be fine with beautiful greenish environment then come and enjoy but if you're people who is passionate for eating delicious foods then it will be not a best choice.

  • 4/5 Atikur R. 4 months ago on Google β€’ 50 reviews
    I really enjoyed the environment. It's a cozy place to have some quality time with friends & family. I think they focus on quality rather than quantity. Maybe that's why the number of items is limited but the quality is quite good I must say. Especially the chicken items and mutton rejala is the best item by far. I was disappointed that there was no beef curry item. I am not a dessert person but my friends didn't like those. Yeah that's it, maybe food wise the place needs some improvement otherwise it's a good place to enjoy the time with FnF.

    The Interior is great and a very cozy place to spend a quite afternoon! The quality of food is above average but not top notch if you compare with the price tag. The Chicken Cashew Nut Salad was good. Kebab and Rice could be better!

    I think this is the best interior and exterior in bangladesh that I have ever visited. Food were also tremendous. I met their chef who is from Egypt. I ordered their caged special platter that’s is incredible. Best Arabian kebab I have ever tested. They served this platter on a portable grilled for that reason u can enjoy hot food till last bite. They indoor and outdoor sitting arrangements.. restaurant is very big.

    ➀ 04-04-2023 A Beautiful restaurant with a wonderful natural ambience, specifically that of plants, foliage, forest & flowers The interior decoration has indications of branches and trees. The total seating area is very much wide spread out. They have a terrace with open air dining arrangements. Above that they have another mini terrace under construction which are now used as Salat Room In terrace, they have a drink station and open air restaurant which is a wonderful place for lunch. Although this restaurant has an excellent ambiance, the taste of food is not up to the mark. Even the price is not that reasonable if you consider. I have heard a lots about this place, that's why had chosen this restaurant for Iftaar+Dinner Buffet It was a total a disappointment in taste of foods with poor & late service. Nothing especial item to try in iftaar buffet, with no service of unlimited cold drinks! That was a total hoax in the name of unlimited Rooh-Afzaa mix juice which is worst & not worth to try. βœͺ iftar+Dinner Buffet : 1200tk/Person (including Vat) βœͺ No Cola Drinks πŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘Ž

    Very nice atmosphere . Live they're interior design and stuffs are nice as well. But didn't like they're foods that much! It was way too price. And quantity was so small! Kebabs are avarge. We took the platter called Turkish kebabs. They told us its enough for two person which was not! Very disappointed by that. One person can eat that platter not two! Over all nice interior. I like the rooftop as well. Nicely managed all of these. But price is too high!

    Good food, good taste. Environment makes this Forest Lounge different from the others alike. You'll have some good spots for photo session. A gathering of about 50 people can be arranged in a single floor of their three storeyed Lounge. Overall, I'm satisfied.

    Review of Forest Lounge Restaurant: The Forest Lounge Restaurant is a delightful culinary haven that offers a unique dining experience. Nestled on a rooftop, this restaurant boasts a stunning view of the cityscape while also providing a cozy indoor section with beautiful decorations and comfortable seating arrangements. One aspect that stood out during my visit was the buffet menu, which showcased an impressive array of dishes. From appetizers to main courses and desserts, the variety of items available was commendable. Each dish was carefully prepared, and the flavors were nothing short of exceptional. The taste was distinct, offering a delightful fusion of flavors that left a lasting impression on my palate. While the food at the Forest Lounge Restaurant is undeniably delicious, it's worth noting that the prices are on the higher side. However, considering the quality of the ingredients and the culinary expertise involved, the higher price point is understandable. What truly sets this restaurant apart is its ambiance. Whether you choose to dine outdoors on the rooftop or inside amidst the enchanting decor, the atmosphere exudes charm and tranquility. The rooftop seating offers a picturesque view, while the indoor section provides a cozy and intimate setting. The service at the Forest Lounge Restaurant was impeccable, with attentive staff members ensuring that every need was met promptly and with a warm smile. The overall dining experience was enhanced by their professionalism and genuine hospitality. In conclusion, the Forest Lounge Restaurant is a must-visit for those seeking a memorable dining experience. The combination of stunning views, comfortable seating, unique flavors, and attentive service make it an ideal destination for special occasions or a romantic night out. While the prices may be higher, the quality and taste of the food make it well worth the splurge.

  • 3/5 Mamun C. 9 months ago on Google
    I visited the Forest Lounge for a casual dinner with my friends. The place has a nice atmosphere, with cozy lighting and wooden furniture. The service was decent, but not exceptional. The staff were polite and attentive, but sometimes slow to respond. The food was also average, nothing to rave about. The portions were generous, but the flavors were bland and the presentation was lacking. Overall, I would say the Forest Lounge is a good place to hang out with friends, but not a great place to enjoy a memorable dining experience.

  • 5/5 Sayed Hossain A. 1 year ago on Google
    Food: 9.5/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 Service: 10/10 I went there to have a buffet Sehri with friends. First of all, the taste of all items were really great. I personally liked the beef, kofta, but other items were tasty too. Reg. number of items, they had not enormous items on buffet Sehri, but they really focused on taste and quality. Most importantly they were refilling the food items on continuous basis. I would give 9.5 out of 10. Secondly, the forest lounge has really an amiable ambiance both in outdoor and indoor units. This place is really suitable to spend time with family and friends, and even for a photography lover. The environment is neat and clean. Lastly, the staff are really amicable and they really concentrate on customers. They serve customers like a guest, not like just treat you as a purchaser. The senior supervisor Mr. Abdur Rahman Abedin is really a nice person. He takes care of each of his customers with utmost care. The feel is like that a customer won't mind visiting there again. We are just impressed by their sincerity on customers. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to try a buffet in Dhanmondi area.

  • 4/5 saif k. 1 year ago on Google
    We went there on Eid day 2. Place was crazy with a lot of crowd. Normally they serve buffet but during eid they were serving from a menu only. We ordered fish and chips, Tom yam soup and kabab platter. Price was higher compared to the quantity. But taste was ok. But their staff behaviour was not upto the standard. There was delay in taking orders, they missed to provide some of the items by mistake. We found that this was happening to everyone. They should be well trained. Despite the fact the crowd was too much to handle! Moreover this place is super for taking pictures. It has a nice ambience.

Staff's are totally loose in their movements, actions and behavior 3. Food is below average, not at all expected 4. If you just want to click some photos the you should come otherwise never come here. Total waste

    Nestled on a rooftop, Forest Lounge Restaurant offers a delightful culinary journey with a stunning cityscape view. The buffet menu impresses with a diverse array of meticulously prepared dishes, each boasting exceptional flavors. Despite the higher prices, the quality justifies the cost. The ambiance, whether outdoors with a picturesque view or indoors with enchanting decor, enhances the dining experience. Impeccable service adds a touch of warmth, making it a must-visit for those seeking a memorable and romantic culinary adventure. Splurge-worthy for the unique fusion of flavors and charming atmosphere. πŸŒ†πŸ½οΈβœ¨

    The desert items were good! Overall experience was adequate. One positive side is you have the option to roam around the rooftop in the middle of your buffet time and come back later to have another round of your buffet! That was a nice experience! The afghan chicken Tikka was delicious btw!
