One of the few decent dining options in Sonargaon, Kolapata serves up healthy portions of Bangladeshi curries, biryanis and bhajis (vegetable dishes), in neat and clean surroundings. It's next to the flyover opposite the bus station – look for the banana leaf logo that gives this restaurant its name.
