Dhanmondi has always had good food. What’s new is the density — within the same season, at least seven ambitious restaurants have opened inside a few towers along Road 2 and Satmasjid Road, each betting on a different idea: continental comfort food, a live sushi station, rooftop skyline views, Asian fusion.
Locals are noticing. Food publications that cover Dhaka’s dining scene now treat Dhanmondi, not Gulshan or Banani, as the neighborhood to watch for 2026. Here’s the full rundown, in the order most people naturally hit them.

1. Brewed Harmony Intercontinental — The Skyline Fine-Diner
Reviewers keep pointing to the Jamaican chicken and beef steak as the dishes worth the trip, and the continental menu spans seafood, burgers, and pasta beyond that.
2. Zolio — The Budget-Friendly Comfort Spot
The spacious set-meal platters are built for groups — the Chicken Majesty platter is meant for two, so go with a friend and split it.
3. Métisse — The Live Sushi Counter
Spacious enough for both a date night and an office dinner — go for group bookings, since the live counter is more fun to watch with a table of four or more.
4. Yenzo — The Rooftop Fusion Kitchen
5. HUTS — The Evening Hangout
6. Marco Polo’s — The Occasion Restaurant
7. SkyBites Bistro — The Sunset Closer
Beyond Dhanmondi
A few blocks toward Uttara, a parallel café boom is underway with newer, design-forward spots drawing a younger crowd. Dhaka’s food map isn’t just one neighborhood’s story anymore — it’s several strips growing at once.
