Abesh Hotel & Biriyani House (আবেশ হোটেল) is a fast-growing Dhaka restaurant chain known for clay-pot Beef Handi, basmati Mutton Biriyani, Peshawari beef and smoky kebabs at honest everyday prices. It opens at 6:00 AM for nehari breakfasts and stays busy until 11:00 PM across five branches in Mirpur 1, Mirpur 2, Mirpur 12 (two outlets) and Banasree. Generous portions, freshly ground spices and plates from about ৳130 make it one of the best-value biriyani houses in north and east Dhaka.
Good to know: like many Bangladeshi eateries, Abesh Hotel and Restaurant uses the word “hotel” in its traditional local sense of a restaurant. It does not offer rooms. This guide covers food, prices and outlets only.

Culinary Overview: Why Dhaka Queues for Abesh
Abesh Hotel started in Mirpur as a shared dream between two partners, Mr. Sumon, a self-made entrepreneur from a village background, and Md. Abul Hossain. The restaurant is named after Mr. Hossain’s only daughter, Abesh. Local press has called it one of Dhaka’s first restaurants to popularise handi beef and handi mutton, where meat is slow-cooked in a sealed clay pot (matir hari) until the spices melt into a thick, glossy gravy.
The kitchen’s philosophy is simple: authentic spices, desi (local) beef and chicken, river fish, and plates that are genuinely filling. The Special Mutton (Khasir) Biriyani is the house’s take on kacchi-style biriyani, cooked with long-grain basmati rice and tender mutton, while the chinigura-rice Beef Khichuri is a rainy-day favourite. Kebab lovers get a full kebab menu too: Chicken Tikka, Arabian Tengri Kebab, Afghani Kebab, Beef Khiri Kebab and Sheek Kebab.
What really sets Abesh Hotel & Biriyani House apart is value. A full Beef Handi is ৳270, the mutton biriyani ৳320 and a chicken grill just ৳130. Few places in Mirpur serve this quality of slow-cooked meat at these prices, which is why the breakfast nehari rush and the post-Maghrib biriyani queue are both part of the experience.
Ambience & Dining Experience
Abesh is a classic, no-frills Dhaka hotel-restaurant: bright, busy and family-friendly. The Mirpur 12 BRTC Depot branch sits right beside the metro line, so it fills with commuters and families after work, while the Mirpur 1 Zoo Road outlet catches weekend crowds heading to the National Zoo and Botanical Garden. Expect simple seating, quick service and food that arrives hot.

abesh hotel & biriyani house menu (2026 Prices)
Prices below come from the official abesh hotel menu published on the restaurant’s website (October 2026), plus current delivery-app listings where noted. Prices are similar across branches, so this also works as the abesh hotel mirpur 12 menu and the abesh hotel banasree menu. App prices are usually a little higher than dine-in prices.
Note: the official online menu lists the mutton biriyani as “Special Khasir Biriyani”. Beef Tehari, Beef Rezala, Bot Bhuna and Sonali Chicken Roast aren’t listed on the official online menu, so availability and price vary by branch. Ask at the counter or check the delivery app before ordering.
