YUMMY YUMMY:

They have many branches all over the city. They are a joint Canadian - Bangladeshi venture providing economical and quality fast food. A must try are their numerous kinds of cool drinks such as the raspberry slush with icecream.

AMERICAN FRIED CHICKEN:

This little fast food joint is located on the plush roadside of Gulshan Avenue. So couples obviously try to make it a regular on weekends. The nice thing is American Fried Chicken (AFC) has an interior that caters to both family and couples or maybe even a place to have a quiet drink by yourself and go over some office notes. It has a party area and one which is a dimly lit corner with well-spaced private tables. The food with self-service is good and, as the name suggests, fried chicken is obviously a favourite. Prices are between 250-300 taka for two with the lowest item of the list having a price tag of 35 taka.

Location:
Gulshan Avenue,
Gulshan (after Wonderland Park)

DAHLIA'S

Dahlia's is among those in fast food outlets in Dhaka that has stayed out of the limelight of the usual big names and become a hit at the same time. This bustling little fast food joint does not look anything like a Burger King or is among the ranks of Sausly's but somewhere near to that level. They have identified their target and their menu and kept it at that. Dahlia's price range is very reasonable by the standards of taste and food they serve. From sandwiches at 15 taka onwards to the burgers starting at 30 taka, these guys also have a bad habit of selling off their French fries like anything. The menu isn't that diverse although they seem to have just the right variety for a satisfying lunch or quick snack. The Chicken Cheese burger is a must. The burgers are also surprisingly soft compared to other places. The décor is cute with a very cozy interior so you have to sit outside in chic little tables on a shaded roadside.

Location:
Kemal Ataturk Avenue,
Banani


CANDY FLOSS

This 'place' is in the Dahlia clan, trying to get people to come back into their cramped serving outlet again without much of a hype. People do come back and these guys still stick to their original floor plan and the food too always tastes great. We personally liked the Sundae, dressed with two tiers of vanilla and strawberry, fruits, nuts and dried raisins of that make you think about ancient Arabia. No, its not an ice-cream parlor, Candy Floss has burgers, rolls, sandwiches and a few chicken specialties on their menus. Prices are higher, expensive to some. Décor has to be taken outside to the parking space because that is where you are brought the food inside your car once you have ordered. Candy Floss has pioneered the practice of 'car service' or eating in your car. But even if you don't have a car, push your way in and order something - you won't regret it!

Gulshan Circle 1,
Gulshan Avenue (South)
