The Famous "Bismillah Kabab Ghar"

 

"Bismillah Kabab Ghar"- is one of the most popular restaurants for kebab (a middle eastern cuisine) items in Dhaka. If you name the top 5 restaurants for kebabs in Dhaka, "Bismillah Kabab Ghar" will be on the list. People from all over Dhaka went there to have a delicious kebab. The word "Bismillah" is the Islamic phrase "In the name of GOD, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. It is one of the most important phrases in Islam and is used by Muslims mostly before starting "good deeds" as well as most daily actions. Bismillah Kabab Ghor was started by Mr. Mohammad Khorshed in 1990. After he died in 1995, his son Mr. Habibur Rahman is running the business at the same place till now. 

They were featured in newspapers several times.

My experience at "Bismillah Kabab Ghor,"

According to google my business, Bismillah Kabab Ghar is open from 4pm. So I went there around 4 o'clock. They were open but not for dine-in. They started selling at 5 pm. So I roam around and waited for them to open. I went to Osmani Uddayan ( a park near Nazira Bazar), but it was closed due to construction work. Then I went to Curzon Hall (Science faculty of the University of Dhaka). After spending some time at Curzon Hall, I went to Bismillah Kabab Ghar again around 5.15 pm. Then it was started selling. I saw some people were sitting inside and some are ordering a takeaway. 

I sit beside the cash counter and ordered Chicken Chaap (Leg piece) and Paratha. The price of Chicken Chaap (Breast piece) is 10 BDT/ 0.12$ more than Chicken Chaap (Leg Piece). As my stomach was full and the Leg piece looks good in the picture, so I ordered Chicken Chaap (Leg Piece).

                                                         Item: Chicken Chaap (Leg Piece)

                                                               Price: 100 BDT/ 1.17$

                                                                       Taste: 7.5/10

It was so good in taste. It was well marinated and fried perfectly. The chicken was crispy outside and soft and juicy inside. The spice level was moderate. They add extra Coriander powder or Chaat masala (i guess) on top, which really increases the taste. 

 

                                                                     Item: Paratha

                                                      Price: 8 BDT/ 0.093$ per piece

                                                                      Taste: 8/10

Most of the restaurants in Dhaka sell Luchi (a deep-fried flatbread) with kebabs. But Bismillah Kabab Ghor is different from others. From the beginning, they are selling Paratha. And still, they are doing the same. In bread items, they only sell paratha. So I took paratha, and it tastes average. soft and less oily. Paratha also tastes good with kebabs. 

   

Item: Special Salad

Price: Complementary

They serve a special salad with every food item which is free of cost. This unique salad is their tradition. I do not know any other restaurant in Dhaka that serves this type of salad. Most of the restaurants in Dhaka serve Cucumber mixed with Yoghurt salad. But Bismillah Kabab Ghor is different from others on this side as well. Their salad is made of Tamarind juice mixed with Onion. Wrapping the kebab with paratha, then dipping on this sauce, and then putting the whole thing together on the mouth, makes a tasty blast on the mouth. 

The service was good. Waiters were wearing a face mask (as I went there during the covid pandemic), and hair caps. The environment was not good. Its looks like Bengali hotels. There was garbage where and there, tables were discolored. Their ambiance couldn't satisfy me. 

"Bismillah Kabab Ghor" is one of the most famous kebab places in Dhaka. In the evening, people have to wait outside to get a seat. For their unique taste, they are running their business for more then 30 years. If you are Bangladeshi or come to Bangladesh, you should at least try "Bismillah Kabab." I guaranty you won't be disappointed.
