Hotel Sonargaon

Saudi Arabia


Located in the bustling narrow streets of the Bangla Bazaar just beyond the open-air parking north of King Faisal Rd, this is the most accessible of the no-frills Bangladeshi restaurants around here. Don't bother with the menu; it's not in English anyway. Simply ask for the delicious fish of the day, which will come with a mountain of rice and various veg sides.

Be warned though, these guys like their spice. There is a family section downstairs
