Business Report :
The 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, Shiraz had its grand opening at Uday Tower in Gulshan-1 on October 26, 2015.
Pankaj Saran, high commissioner of India in Bangladesh, 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.
Shiraz has a glorious history of blending the Mughal heritage in its cuisine. In the year 1940, Arshad Ali and Md. Hossain from Bihar arrived in Kolkata and started a small eatery called Shiraz. They adopted the secret recipes of the Mughal kitchen called `Dum Pukht’, a style of cooking with aromatic ingredients.
Although the restaurant traces its origin in Kolkata, it steadily grew in size and reputation. It opened branches in Mumbai, Bangalore and Dubai over the years, and now comes to Dhaka for the first time to satisfy the taste-buds of the food lovers in Bangladesh. Some of the Shiraz’s all-time favorite signature dishes are biriyani, chaap, rezala, murgh musallam, raan- e-Shiraz, kasha gosht, liver bhuna, tawa lacha paratha, firni, shahi tukda, etc. The restaurant also has plans to start serving breakfast soon.
Shiraz Restaurant hosted a press meet at its premises on October 27. Seema Haider Chaudhury, Managing Director of Al-Noor Restaurant & Catering Services (owning company of Shiraz Restaurant in Bangladesh), Syed Shahid Ahmed, Adviser and Deepanjan Ghosh, Manager of Shiraz Restaurant, were present at the press conference.
