Star Kabab (Elephant Road branch)
স্টার কাবাব এন্ড রেস্টুরেন্ট
A homegrown Dhaka kebab chain founded in 1965. Lamb leg kebab, kacchi biryani and faluda are the most popular.
Star Kabab was founded in Dhaka in 1965. Its original shop is in Thatari Bazar in the old city, and it now has more than ten branches. It has won The Daily Star's Foodiez award for best Bengali restaurant. This entry is the Elephant Road branch, which is easier to reach than the old-city location. Signature dishes include lamb leg kebab, kacchi biryani and a range of skewers, and diners often finish with faluda, a chilled sweet drink. It is open all day and turns tables quickly. No reservations are taken, and it gets crowded at mealtimes. Prices are moderate, making it a good first taste of Bengali kebabs.
Opening hours
