Nirob Hotel
নীরব হোটেল
One of the oldest Bengali home-style restaurants in old Dhaka, famous for dozens of bhortas (mashes) and spicy stir-fried lamb brain.
Nirob Hotel is on Nazimuddin Road in old Dhaka and is one of the city's oldest Bengali home-style restaurants. It is known for a wide range of bhortas (mashes made from vegetables and dried fish), and it also serves fried carp, fish curry and spicy stir-fried lamb brain. The restaurant has two floors, with air-conditioned private rooms upstairs. It is often full at mealtimes, with generous portions at reasonable prices. It is tucked into narrow old-city lanes, so you will need to walk to find it. Some reviewers feel the taste is not what it used to be and that the setting is ordinary.
