Khazana in Gulshan is the Bangladesh outpost of the Chef Sanjeev Kapoor luxury Indian concept, founded by one of India's most celebrated chefs (the MasterChef India television host, cookbook author, and restaurant group founder) and the only internationally-chef-branded Indian fine-dining restaurant in Dhaka. The concept focuses on authentic royal Indian recipes (the pre-Independence Mughal-court and Rajput-royal cuisines that form the foundation of classical North Indian fine dining) executed with premium ingredients, traditional tandoor and dum-pukht technique, and a dining-room experience that matches the international-Chef-Kapoor group standard across its Dubai, Singapore, and Middle East locations.
The menu covers royal North Indian with strength in the tandoor and kebab sections, the dum-pukht slow-cooking preparations, and the classical Mughlai curry program. Signature dishes include the murgh dum biryani (the Lucknow-Awadhi slow-pot biryani, the restaurant's reference dish), the kakori kebab (the minced-lamb tandoor specialty), the rogan josh (classical Kashmiri lamb curry), the palak paneer (the reference preparation), the aloo naan (the tandoor bread program), and a kulfi-falooda dessert preparation that is the most-ordered closing course. The wine list is selected to pair with Indian food (Gewürztraminer-forward with several South African and Australian Indian-compatible labels); Indian single-malt and Indian-craft-beer sections are strong.
The occasion fit is for business dinners with Bangladeshi and South Asian counterparts where the Chef Sanjeev Kapoor name and the royal-recipe framing carry corporate-appropriate luxury signalling, team-dinner occasions for groups of 6-20 where the Indian sharing-plate format and the tandoor arrivals create natural group energy, birthday and milestone celebrations where the biryani centrepiece and the dessert program play as ceremony, and as the introductory Indian-fine-dining experience for international visitors who have not eaten serious royal-recipe North Indian before. For proposal and once-in-a-lifetime occasions, Yumi or Seasonal Tastes are more setting-appropriate.
Reservations via phone or the Chef Sanjeev Kapoor group website, book 5-7 days ahead for weekends, 1-2 weeks ahead for large groups and private-dining rooms. Daily service lunch and dinner. The biryani must be pre-ordered (45-60 minutes cooking time) and the thali and degustation menus are the formats that showcase the kitchen's range. Private dining rooms (6-20 capacity) are available for business dinners and should be specified at booking. Located in Gulshan; Uber from other Dhaka districts.
Best for Close a Deal
Khazana is Dhaka's business-dinner Indian fine-dining default. The Chef Sanjeev Kapoor pedigree, the royal-recipe menu structure, the private dining rooms that handle 6-20 guest counterparty occasions, and a format that translates cleanly across South Asian and international client backgrounds combine to make it the reference business-Indian booking in Bangladesh.
