Star Kabab (Banani)

Star Kabab in Banani is a kabab-focused restaurant at House 15, Road 17, Block C, Banani, in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Banani is one of the capital's diplomatic and business districts, and this branch is convenient for visitors staying at nearby hotels or working in the area. The cuisine is Bangladeshi kababs and curries, served alongside a wide range of Indian-style breads and biryani. Signature dishes include chicken tikka kabab, seekh kabab and chicken curry with paratha. These are the kind of dishes that have become staples of Dhaka's casual dining scene: charcoal or tandoor-grilled meat, soft breads for scooping, and richly spiced gravies. The menu is built for sharing, so a group can order several kababs and a selection of breads and split them across the table. A typical meal costs about Tk 300-500 (approx USD 2.4-4.1), which is inexpensive by the standards of Banani, where many restaurants charge considerably more. The dining room is casual and unpretentious, with an easy neighbourhood feel rather than formal service. Noise levels are moderate, and families, office workers and small groups make up much of the trade. There is no strict dress code, though modest, comfortable clothing is the norm in Dhaka. Drinks are non-alcoholic, typically tea, soft drinks and fresh juices, as is standard in mainstream Bangladeshi restaurants. Published hours indicate opening from 6AM on Sunday and Monday and from 9AM Tuesday to Saturday, with closing at 11PM, though these should be confirmed locally as they can change. Reservations are not normally needed and the restaurant operates on a walk-in basis; a short wait is possible at peak dinner times, especially on weekends. The Banani location makes it a practical stop before or after visiting nearby Gulshan, and it is reachable by ride-hailing services or rickshaw from most central neighbourhoods. Visitors wanting a quieter meal can go in the mid-afternoon.
