The café culture in Dhaka over the past decade has seen incredible evolution. There are cafés serving everything from filling savoury dishes to sweets and snacks. There are not very many cafés that actually take the craft of creating and serving seriously, cafes that work to not only maintain the quality of the food but create an ambience wherein people can sit on a rainy day with a hot cup of coffee with or without the company of their laptops or phones.

Iram's Café may soon prove to be an exception to this trend. The aesthetic décor of the place is cosy and welcoming with the smooth aroma of coffee all around. And to add to the inviting feeling of the café, Iram herself, is present there at all times to ensure that top tier service and food is provided and she also ensures that any complaints by the patrons are taken into account and rectified immediately. 

No matter how good the service is of an eatery, it is after all the food that makes a name for it. Serving everything from healthy salads to heavy desserts, Iram's has a wide variety when it comes to the menu at a very accommodating price. There's a set Chinese menu available for lunch, which includes one of the best prawns on toasts in town, and you are also welcome to order a-la-carte all around the day. This includes sandwiches, burgers, soups and chicken and fish dishes. In addition to a very warm service you get good food at a reasonable price.

Another specialty of this café is its variety of desserts, which includes but is not limited to lemon and chocolate tarts, profiteroles and Oreo cheesecakes, at the price range of Tk160-200. The desserts are most definitely the more attractive part of the menu and the taste does not disappoint. 

The coffee arrangement is also reasonably good but not exceptional. It is the food that adds to the cafés selling point. So if you're looking for a new place to hang out with your friends or to sit alone and have a cup of tea this is a nice café to try out. Iram's Café also caters to events.
