A popular face on the small screen, Apurbo, who is also making a name in Dhallywood with “Gangster Return,” has inaugurated his second franchise, Tummy Time Restaurant, in Gulshan.
Talking to the Dhaka Tribune, the actor said: “As a person I love food and am a cook myself. I prefer food made with great care and precision. In fact, food is a form of art. Take for instance our ‘Messy Burger,’ based on my own recipe. Although it looks messy, it is filling as well. I hope people will enjoy the food.”
Asked what Tummy Time means, the actor said: “It is a buzz word. When people are hungry and it is time to eat, we welcome them to enjoy their time in our restaurant.”
“In Dhaka, there are many restaurants. Restaurants demand a proper set-up and interior. If I, along with my three partners have succeeded in making a proper plan, I am sure this business will flourish. We have another branch in Banani which is only for deliveries and it is doing well,” the actor-entrepreneur said.
“Besides maintaining the quality of the food, the owners of a restaurant have to provide a nice interior where people can enjoy quality time with quality food. Personally, I can set up meetings and connect with people from my professional arena at the restaurant,” Apurbo said.
He added: “Tummy Time is reasonable, with prices ranging from Tk100-1500. The menu offers steak, Mexican food, continental fare, pasta, BBQ and other items.”
Tummy Time is located at AB Center, House 18, CWS, South Avenue Gulshan 1 and Abedin Tower, 35 Kemal Ataturk Avenue, Banani.
