The Garden Kitchen of Sheraton Dhaka: A buffet restaurant in Banani

Located in 44 Kemal Ataturk Avenue, a new addition to Dhaka's culinary scene, is The Garden Kitchen, the buffet restaurant of Sheraton Dhaka on the 14th floor of the hotel.

As you step out of the elevator and onto the lobby of The Garden Kitchen, it would quickly hint that the restaurant has not been stringent at all about space. And this impression will get reinforced as you enter the main restaurant itself, which is indeed spacious, and also includes a rather large outdoor area for al-fresco dining, with greenery, a fountain, and unobstructed skies owing to the height at which The Garden Kitchen is located.

So the spacious restaurant is nicely decorated without overdoing it— just a splash of opulence. There are also in total four private dining areas -- perfect for holding formal meetings and informal get-togethers as well.

With that said, let's dive into the food now. Featuring a variety of cuisines, the buffet stations offer a wide plethora of delicacies, spoiling you with choices. So, there are your biriyanis and curries, dumplings and sushi, steaks and grills, and so on -- an eclectic multi-cuisine feast, from continental to Pan Asian to flavours of Bangladesh and the subcontinent and much more.

The buffet spread includes live stations, sections where you can have food made-to-order, and counters with large elaborate dishes such as a whole baked fish where the servers will cut you chunks of it for your plate.

With such a wide array, there is something or other in The Garden Kitchen that you will definitely like— a presentation of cheeses, delightful goblets of shrimp cocktail, salads to binge on, the nicely crafted sushi along with the raging wasabi, the beef ribs and other meat items to unleash the carnivore in you, and of course scrumptious mousses and other pastries in the desserts section to end it all.

Generous not just in terms of variety and quality of food but also in terms of the space and the area which the eatery occupies, The Garden Kitchen of Sheraton Dhaka seems to be a promising one!
