Variety of fares at Fish-n-Grill

Bangladeshi cuisine is globally known as Maache Bathe Bangali, meaning the staples here are fish and rice. As the south of the country is being skirted by The Bay of Bengal, there is an abundance of seafood almost all over the country. Another factor for fish being the popularstaple and protein source is that ours is a riverine country, where rivers numbered up to more than two hundred in the distant past. In recent times, most of the rivers have dried up, so there is a dearth of fresh fish. Bangladeshi locals still get to taste and savour fish in one form or the other - be it sea-fish or fresh-water or the cultured species bred in the ponds and small waterbodies.

Keeping these integral factors in mind, Fish-n-Grill opened its first-ever outlet in Dhaka in April 2025. The name itself denotes their prime offerings. The menu is an array of lobster, crab, squids, dori, pomfret, and octopus, among others. These are all freshly procured and delivered from the beach town Cox's Bazar. Guests can opt for any type of preparation - grill, steam, barbeque, or even local gravy-style, if requested.

This restaurant's stellar attraction is Seafood Boil. This is an assortment of lobster, crab, dori, pomfret, prawn - all grilled and served in a bucket. The portions vary from one is to one, one for two, and one for four diners. In addition to this, one can also choose whole red snapper, sea bass - grilled, steamed or barbequed. Mashed potato and grilled vegetables are the main sides. There are also rice and bread as accompaniments.

Apart from seafood, the place also offers Turkish Bangla and Thai food. The Turkish segment of the menu consists of different preparations of soup, salads, and of course, kebabs. Atypical Thai menu includes rice, noodles, soups, and couple of chicken, prawn, and beef dishes. Bangla food includes specialities like ones Kaala Bhuna, Daab Chingri.

Desserts in the menu are Tiramisu, Brownie and the very popular home-made coconut ice cream. For drinks there are fresh juice (pineapple, papaya, orange, green apple etc), mocktail (citrus basil, virgin mojito, minty lemonade etc), and smoothies (chocolate strawberry, cheesecake). There are different flavoured teas and quite a good number of varieties of coffee available, including lattes and iced ones.
