Kolkata-based Shiraz Restaurant has opened its doors in Dhaka for the food connoisseurs of Bangladesh bringing with it the century-old heritage of Mughal cuisine.
Indian High Commissioner to Dhaka Pankaj Saran, other distinguished ambassadors, government officials, business leaders and noted personalities of the country graced the event, which ended with the rendition of songs by a noted Indian artist, at Uday Tower in Gulshan 1 in the city yesterday.
Shiraz has a glorious history of blending the Mughal heritage in its cuisine.

I should mention here that this is for the first time that this globally renowned restaurant has opened its branch in Bangladesh.”
“We are very happy to associate ourselves with an endeavor to bring the celebrated cuisine of Shiraz to delight the taste buds of the food connoisseurs of Bangladesh. Although we are starting our journey in Gulshan, our dream is to expand this business with more branches in Dhaka as well as other cities of the country.”
