From three tables to a highway legend
In 1984, Abdur Razzaq, known to all as Chondu Mia, left his small Iqbal Hotel in Cumilla town and opened a roadside eatery at Paduar Bazar Bishwa Road. It’s widely remembered as the very first food stop on the Dhaka–Chattogram Highway.
The menu was simple: beef, alu bhorta, dal and rice, all for just ৳7. Today his son, Tofayel Ahmed, runs the restaurant with the same rule: honest food at honest prices. Chondu has never signed stop-over deals with bus companies. Guests come back because they want to.
“If our food wasn’t good, the name alone couldn’t have kept us going this long.”
