Dhaka Biryani

One of the numerous curry and/​or biryani houses in East London, this one just happens to be conveniently located near me. The interior left me feeling a bit uncertain of the food quality, but the nice exterior compared to most other places got me in the door.
I ordered a danksak dish and was very pleased with the hot and sour flavours and for the price it can’t be beat.
A shame in that it looks like someone broke part of their front glass recently, but don’t let that discourage you from giving it a try!

I came here two nights in a row, not only because I stayed in Whitechapel throughout my stay in London, but the fact that shops & restaurants in the east district closed a tad bit too early (try 7pm) for my taste. Oh God. I certainly am not an early sleeper, and I do like to eat at night, too! This place, in fact closes at 11pm. Thank goodness for these people and their yummy naan bread and curries. This kept me from starving two nights in a row.
Tried their Chicken Tikka Masala and their King Prawn Curry. The Tikka is certainly spicy but really buttery and creamy. The Curry they have there is not really what I expected, though it was really flavorful and spicy. Just how I like it. Their naan was fresh, and their mango lassi is tangy, creamy, and smooth.
This place is inexpensive and is a great late night snack if you’re starving and will not settle for cereal & milk from the nearby Tesco! In addition, the workers are friendly and though your food takes a while to prepare, it is worth it.

Dhaka Biryani finds itself in a fierce curry environment. Situated in whitechapel, the place is literally 2 doors down from another biryani place, and a stone’s throw from many other asian food restaurants.
I haven’t tried them all, but this place stands out. Trusting the name, I ordered a biryani with chicken. It was damn good.
The chicken was fall apart tender… I cut it with a spoon. The rice veggie mix was spicy and plentiful, and the take away container was a convenient tupperware box that I can reuse.
I wish it had been a little less oily, but it is biryani I suppose. If you’re in the neighborhood, check this place out for fast, cheap, and generous biryani.

Really good little place. They do say that all the good curry places are actually in Whitechapel rather than Brick Lane and while I wouldn’t say that Dhaka was one of the places that those people were talking about, it does the job very well.
We wanted to go to Lahore One but we had taken too long to get there so we were looking for some kind of fast food, pretty late on a Friday night and we found here. You can get 3 different curries and rice for £3.50 if your a vegetarian and £4.50 if you want to ruin the environment and eat meat. I jest. Plus he chucked in a naan.
It’s great inside too: OTT South Asian design touches everywhere from the white horned chairs to the faux marble tables.
Just great.
