A
Ahar Restaurant
At night it’s damn near impossible to miss this flashing Christmas tree of a restaurant. During the day it’s marginally more subtle, but even so the bright lights, bright pink interior and bright balloons are obviously of great appeal to the girls of Rangpur as this seems to be the only restaurant in the entire country where female diners outnumber male. The staff proudly announce that they can make ‘anything’, though they mean anything Bangladeshi. Still, the biryani is well worth the trip.

Cozy Café
The Cozy Café, where the young of the town come to see and be seen, is Bogra’s trendiest eating experience and is very much a new concept for Bogra. The décor is dark and cool, the Chinese dishes really delicious, the staff will be genuinely pleased to see you and, if another reason were needed to stop by, they have a music collection that includes such old-school ‘classics’ as Bon Jovi, Europe and A-ha!

B
Aristocrat Coffee Shop & Restaurant
Locals dress sharp to come to this new restaurant and coffee shop situated above the Mercantile Bank. One half is a relaxed coffee shop with filter coffee, tempting cakes and a distinctly non-Bangladeshi vibe. The other half is the last word in Rajshahi sophistication and offers some of the best Indian and Chinese food you’ll find in north Bangladesh – the chicken tikka masala is spot on as is the service.

Quality Sweets & Restaurant
The Quality Sweets & Restaurant is overflowing with both character and drool inspiring food. It’s tucked down a little alley off the main drag – there’s no exterior English sign, but there is a small sign in English beside the interior door. The dhal here is especially good and much thicker than is normal in Bangladesh. Its sweet selection is deserving of the name.

C
Food Garden
A bright and cheerful new Chinese establishment that is popular at both lunch and dinnertime. It’s a great respite from the searing intensity of the streets, and the clientele, who are generally better off Bangladeshis, won’t overpower you with stares. It offers sensible half-portions and, should you feel like eating out on the dirty streets, take-away.

Chili’s
The Chili’s emporium has a flurry of restaurants in the centre. The main tiger-stripe building gives you the chance to get flirty with a tasty Thai or Chinese meal upstairs, while downstairs you will discover a kebab joint and a ‘fast food’ restaurant (though exactly what the difference between kebabs and fast food is, isn’t made clear).

E
Boaishaki Restaurant
This place is so popular it’s just silly, but as normal the locals know best. As well as delectable curries there are a few harder to come by dishes such as biryani. If the staff take a shine to you then you might find yourself leaving with a free red rose, and a cha or two better off.

F
Saidpur Chinese Restaurant
There’s a nice food culture on Market St; have a wander to see what’s on offer. Opposite the Hotel Samrat is the Saidpur Chinese Restaurant, which is certainly the nicest place in town to eat.

G
Martin Chinese Restaurant
The brightly coloured exterior of this restaurant sits in contrast to the gloomy interior, but even so the fussy waiters will bring forth a passable array of Chinese food. Expect to be dining alone.

Akboria Mishty Mela
A kickback café with a range of sickly-sweet Bengali cakes and almost equally sweet Western cakes. It also delves into coffee and light snacks, and Chinese meals are dished out upstairs.

Lilian Restaurant
Small, intimate and a good place for a more drawn out Chinese or Thai meal. It’s close to the Akboria Mishty Mela.
