Hason Raja restaurant and product information

Hason Raja - sample Bangladesh's finest poetry and cuisine - a la carte dining

It's not everyday a restaurant is named after a 19th century Bangladeshi poet come playboy, but there's more than a famous name to grab your attention at Hason Raja.

Whether you like your food hot, mild or Westernised there's plenty to choose from, such as shamdo chicken (medium hot) and ramo chicken (hot), cooked in an iron souk - both recommended by the chef. Children might prefer the very mild malai chicken tikka, created with their younger palates in mind. Painted mainly in mint green with matching and immaculate suede Italian furniture decorated with fresh flowers, there's a modern feel to the place.

And, if your favourite dish is not listed on the menu, don't hesitate to ask the manager who'll ensure it's done.
