Snack
A crisp, layered flatbread baked in a clay oven — Old Dhaka's classic with morning tea. Around Lalbagh and Chawkbazar you can watch it being made in small shops.
Drink
A tangy, spiced yoghurt and mint drink that almost always comes with biryani and other rich meals in Dhaka.
Dish
Biryani where raw mutton and rice are slow-cooked together under a sealed lid, usually with potato. A long Old Dhaka tradition — go at lunchtime for the freshest pot.
