My visit to Patenga Sea Beach was a truly unforgettable experience. The sky was filled with thunderclouds during my stay, creating a dramatic and breathtaking atmosphere. I spent around an hour and a half there, completely captivated by the natural beauty and intensity of the moment. It was a perfect example of what we call in Bangla — "ভয়ংকর সুন্দর" — terrifyingly beautiful. The combination of roaring waves, stormy skies, and cool sea breeze made it a memorable and thrilling experience.

Beautiful sea beach.... definitely not the best in Bangladesh but one of the beautiful sea beaches. Went there during the afternoon. There were plenty of parking places, so we had no problem with car parking.. The sea was quite calm that day, so we went into the water. Though the water was dirty compared to Cox Bazar beach. There were speed boats to ride, but we did not take the ride. We just enjoyed the sunset...it was awesome. There were a lot of food stalls and souvenir shops.

Patenga beach is one of my favorite places, I really enjoy going there, you can also go there, but keep two things in mind, 1/ Don't go to a quiet place alone at night, or don't sit anywhere alone, 2/ Be careful of those who take pictures with cameras, they are very bad. If you take pictures with their cameras, first bring all the pictures to your mobile phone, check them and pay.

I really enjoyed my time there. The area has plenty of parking space, which made things easy. There are lots of tasty snacks available like peyaju, chotpoti, fuchka, and badam. You can also try horse riding by the beach, which was a fun experience. For those who love adventure, there are speed boat rides too! It’s a great place to relax, have fun, and enjoy the sea breeze.

Patenga Sea Beach is a beautiful spot to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of the Bay of Bengal. The golden sands and gentle waves create a serene atmosphere, especially during sunset . It's a great place for photography enthusiasts and nature lovers. However, some visitors have noted that the water can appear a bit murky, and the beach can get crowded, particularly in the afternoons . Despite these minor drawbacks, it's still a worthwhile destination for those looking to experience the coastal charm of Chittagong.

Patenga Sea View in Chittagong is a beautiful and refreshing spot to enjoy the ocean breeze and watch the waves crash along the shore. The view during sunset is truly breathtaking, with golden light reflecting on the water. It’s a great place for a walk, boat ride, or just relaxing with friends and family. Street food and snacks are available nearby, adding to the local flavor. The area has improved in recent years with better seating and walkways. Though it can get crowded on holidays, the overall vibe is lively and enjoyable. A must-visit if you’re in Chittagong!

One of the best places in Chittagong city for hangout-refreshing yourself-releasing your stress-making a better moment-standing great time with your partner & family add obviously enjoyable place for friends hangout.❤️ One of the must visit places in Chittagong.

The Ethnological Museum Chittagong stands as a "treasure with tales," offering a captivating journey into Bangladesh's diverse tribal cultures, showcasing a rich collection of artifacts that illuminate the unique traditions and histories of various ethnic groups. While its extensive exhibits provide invaluable educational insights and play a crucial role in cultural preservation, the museum faces challenges with maintenance, limited English descriptions, and somewhat outdated displays. Despite these drawbacks, it remains a vital resource for understanding the country's cultural tapestry, offering visitors a rare opportunity to appreciate the distinct customs and lifestyles of Bangladesh's tribal communities. A visit, though potentially hindered by photography restrictions and accessibility limitations, is highly recommended for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the region's rich cultural heritage.

I visited the Ethnological Museum in Chittagong today, but unfortunately, it was closed. So I couldn’t go inside. However, the exterior of the museum looks quite impressive and well-maintained. The location is easily accessible and situated near the main road in Agrabad, making it convenient for visitors. I really hope to come back again when it’s open and explore the rich cultural exhibits inside. It seems like a great place to learn about the diverse ethnic groups of Bangladesh. Even from the outside, you can feel the historical and cultural significance of the place. Definitely looking forward to my next visit!

I visited this museum with my friends. This museum stores a lot of information about different ethnicities. But honestly I did not find it interesting. I think it can be interesting only for those who are interested in this subject particularly.

Transportation Bus or auto rickshaw can be used to reach this tourist destination. Details Ethnological museum is one of the most visited sites of Chattogram city. This museum is basically established to give a conception of the succession of various cultural groups of the country and their lifestyles. It is one of the two ethnological museums in the continent of Asia and the other is in Japan. It also comes to help in research work. The museum was established on 1.25 acres of land adjacent to Badamtali of Agrabad Commercial area of Chattogram city in 1965. Since its inception, it is opened for visitors. History: The Department of Archeology, Bangladesh took the initiative for the establishment of the museum in 1965. The museum was opened in 1974 for public inspection. Later, between 1985 and 1995, two rooms were included in the museum. Yusuf Ali, the first education minister of the Government of Bangladesh inaugurated this museum on January 9, 1974. Description: The museum authorities have collected some rare materials used in the daily life of various cultural groups. Most of the materials are at risk of extinction. This museum has made comparative analysis of 25 small ethnic groups of Bangladesh with the ethnic groups of 5 foreign countries, in terms of various materials used by them. Chakma, Marma, Tripura, Mrung, Bawm, Khyang, Khumi, Chak, Rakhine, Pankhoa in the Chittagong Hill Tracts; Khasia, Manipuri, Pangan, Patra in Sylhet region; Garo, Hajong, Dalu, Mandai, Cooch in Mymensingh region; Santal, Oraon, Rajbangshi, Polia in Rajshahi-Dinajpur region; and Buno, Bagdi in the Jashore-Jhenaidah region are included in the small ethnic groups of Bangladesh. It has 4 galleries and 1 hall. The 3 galleries of the museum have arrangements for displaying various materials of 25 cultural groups of Bangladesh such as weapons, flower vases, clothes, boats, scissors, ornaments, bamboo pipes. The other gallery is used to show the life style of some communities in India, Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan, Australia and Germany. Visitors get the chance to be acquainted with various festivals and culture of tribal people through maps and graffiti in the hall room. A part of the Berlin Wall of Germany, broken in 1989, is also displayed here. There is a garden in front of the museum. Visiting Information: Ethnological museum of Chattogram is open to visitors every day except Sunday and public holidays. According to the museum authorities, the museum receives 200-300 visitors daily including local and foreign researchers.

The Ethological museum is a central museum for all the ethological people of the country. The tribal people's history and culture is well depicted here. But the place is undernourished. When, we went there painting works were ongoing. Maybe for that reason, dust was all over the museum. But as it was kept open, the museum should be well in shape. The items are not upgraded. It seemed that no caretaking was done in the last few years.

It was a nice experience, saw some new things of the ethnic people. Entry fee is 30 tk. And It closes at 6.PM .

Don't leave yourself trapped inside the house, go out to know the world .. Know the nation, the group, know their heritage ..... Hold on to your own traditions, respect the traditions of others. This ethnological museum in Chittagong is such a museum where you can find out the different ethnic groups of Bangladesh and Pakistan, their heritage, their way of life, their daily life ......... Come on in, take a look and enjoy yourself! Note: You must keep the museum clean and tidy, do not throw dirt there .. Do not touch anything .. Don't do anything that conflicts with anyone's honor .................

Good place for outing with friends & family. The place is kids friendly too. We took entry ticket with 4 rides at 350 Taka. The thing i found most disgusting is Lake View Restaurant. Food quality is below standard but the price is too high.

I won't recommend foy's lake for adults :3. But the Basecamp activities look interesting but the majority of the time they're booked so normal people can't enter.

Diversified options/activities are really enjoyable. There are lots of fun activities and the environment is really scenic. Friends and family both kind of tour and night staying are highly recommended.

Foy's Lake is an absolutely beautiful and peaceful getaway in the heart of Chattogram! 🌊🌳 Located in a scenic spot, this serene lake surrounded by hills offers a perfect blend of nature and adventure. Whether you're looking to relax by the lake or enjoy thrilling boat rides, Foy's Lake has something for everyone. The lush greenery, clean environment, and various attractions like the amusement park, zoo, and restaurants make it an ideal place for families and friends. The peaceful boat rides around the lake provide a truly relaxing experience, and the scenic views of the hills make it a great spot for photography. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Chattogram! It’s a perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature. 🚤🌅

Nice but had high expectations It really looks very artificial

Beautiful place. Once visited back in 1989. This time June 2025 with wife again. Love it.

A man-made lake surrounded by green hills, with a theme park and boat rides. Great for families and kids. The scenery is peaceful and a nice escape from the busy city. Can get crowded during holidays, but still enjoyable.

Nice visit. The location itself is very scenic and a fresh distraction from the city. But when we went they said that currently it was not allowed to enter the cemetery main area, only the outside area is open to visitors. So, if you're looking to visit inside, try to ask beforehand.

This cemetery was established to honor Commonwealth soldiers and others who lost their lives during World War II. It was created by the British Army and originally contained around 400 burials. The site is a peaceful and well-maintained place that offers an opportunity to learn about history.

Very quite place, nice ambient. But during weekend they locked the gate so one can't get a close look on the cemetery. Visitors keep making the place dirty. Authority should have close look on this matter.

I visited the War Cemetery in Chittagong in July 2017. The place was peaceful and well-maintained, with beautiful flower gardens and neatly arranged graves of brave soldiers. It felt calm and respectful — a great place to learn some history and spend quiet time.

The environment here is very beautiful, pleasant and clean. No ticket is required for entry. But the inner part of the grave cannot be entered. Only the front can be accessed. The map says it is open from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM. But in reality, most of the time the gate closes at 10:00 am. It opens again at 3:00 PM and closes at 5:00 PM.

Good place for spending time. Well-designed, neat and clean. So much greenery and clam environment.

I have become to know about 1. The burial ground for the heroic soldiers who died in this region (ten countries) during 2nd World War in 1939-1945 2. How to keep a burial ground clean and holy 3. How to keep green plants and flowers excellent. 4. How to honour the soldiers and freedom fighters who sacrifice their lives for the country.

Natural theme park actually. Just enjoy the peace and clamness of nature

Travelers who found this place through google search be aware. The stairs to the hill are surrounded by slums. The hill is full of trash. It's risky to go there after 5pm. After reaching the top I did not find anything interesting. The view is not up to the mark.

Overrated place. Its not a place to visit particularly when you come to cTG. No transport people doest not know where is batali hill. Its a closed one. I mean people cannot go there easily. There is a police checkpoint and you have to bribe 50-100 taka to enter this place. Most important thing its uncleaned and lots of slum houses are below the hill which makes the environment fully dirty. On the top of hill there is a tower and the stairs are full broken and any time any one can be injured if he/she is not careful.

Batali Hill is the tallest hill of Chattogram City. It is also known as 'Zilapir Pahar'. Nice place indeed. Bay of Bengal and the most part of Chattogram city can clearly be seen from the top of Batali Hill. It occupies an area of 43.50 acres. The height of Batali Hill is 180 feet. It is a perfect observation point of Chattogram City. Once a lighthouse was here. During WWII aeroplane destroyer cannon was set up here. Batali Hill is a government property. There are 50 species of trees. About 14,000 trees are here. This place is very close to mother nature. Fresh air can be enjoyed here. Batali Hill is a 2-3 minutes walk from Tiger Pass intersection. Everybody travelling Chattogram should come here.

Batali Hill is the highest hill in the city of Chittagong, Bangladesh. It is located near the Tiger Pass crossing, about 1 kilometre from the center of the city, and falls under Khulshi Thana. The hill is about 280 feet high.However, the hill faces threats of erosion and landslides due to illegal hill-cutting activities.In June, 2007, a massive landslide in the area surrounding Batali Hill killed at least 128 people. There is also an eternal flame (Shikha Onirban) commemorating the Bangladesh Liberation War martyrs.

Went for a morning hike on top of Batali hill. It was green as expexted. Took some pix while up there

Batali Hill is the highest hill in the city of Chittagong. It is located near the tiger pass crossing. The hill is about 280 feet high.

A historical place and An oldest wooden architectural bungalow in Chittagong locally called a Circuit House (where government high officials and Visitors stayed there for visit places for an official meeting and places). Built in pre British period, once British Royal HRH Late Queen Elizabeth visited this place, many historical events took place at this place, well preserved and maintained bungalow jus near by Reddisson Blue Hotel and Old stadium. Now it's a memorial Museum of late President and Freedom Fighter Ziaur Rahman, who assassinated in this bungalow.

Zia Memorial Museum – A Place of Historical Reflection I recently visited the Zia Memorial Museum in Chattogram, and it was a meaningful and thought-provoking experience. The museum is housed in the historic Chittagong Circuit House, where former President Ziaur Rahman was assassinated in 1981. The museum consists of 17 galleries, showcasing different phases of Zia’s life – from his early military days to his leadership during the Liberation War, his political career, foreign visits, and his tragic assassination. Each room is filled with photos, documents, and personal items that narrate his journey. The environment was quiet, clean, and secured. However, some displays could use clearer descriptions and a more neutral historical tone. Photography is restricted in most parts, so be sure to check with the staff before taking pictures.

this place is so mesmerizing, soothing and healing. this place is highly recommended for those who have interest in political history. this place is amazing, beautiful as well as emotional. inside of museum photography is prohibited but i took risk to take some shots because this guy was damn smart. check the schedule of visitors hours before you go. DSLR camera is not allowed. you have to put your bag in locker room and collect the token. follow the instructions of there and keep it clean as well as your surroundings.

The Zia Memorial Museum was built in memory of the former President of Bangladesh, Ziaur Rahman. It is one of the places associated with the history of Bangladesh. This building was originally built in 1913 during the British period. It was then used as Chittagong Circuit House. Ziaur Rahman was killed in this circuit house in a military coup on May 30, 1981. It was inaugurated as a museum on September 6, 1993. Many personal belongings used by Ziaur Rahman are kept here. Also, many rare photographs, gifts and documents from various periods and events of his life are available here. Various specimens of Ziaur Rahman's assassination are still preserved in this museum. The transmitter used by Ziaur Rahman at the Kalurghat radio station to announce independence can be seen at the Zia Memorial Museum. The environment inside and outside the museum is beautiful, pleasant and quiet. The structure of the building shows the impression of the British era. In 2006, a new administrative building was constructed behind this building. However, general visitors are not allowed to enter there. To go to the museum, one has to come from any part of the city to Kazi Deuri. Zia Memorial Museum is located here next to Radisson Blu.

The Ethnological Museum in Chattogram is the only one of its kind in Bangladesh. Established in 1965, it showcases the cultural heritage and lifestyles of various ethnic groups from Bangladesh and other countries. Through a collection of artifacts, models, and exhibits, the museum aims to promote mutual understanding and a sense of community among diverse peoples.

Nice place to hangout. Very neer to redison blu hotel. Historic place.

So much beautiful place❤️ I am saying my word from the neutral place.. Truly I don't know about this place or I didn't want to know.. Whatever I learn many things.. It is full of resources & there is also so many those will astonish you.. I don't reveal them.. And their stuff also awesome 10/10 😊 They share much about our liberation war & also their source.. You will understand if you see this..

This amusement park has lost all it's beauty. Whole surrounding is not clean at all. Rides are almost old and some of them were closed. Some were under constructions. Lake's water was extremely smelly and dirty. Authority should concern about this & take proper care.

Too much commercialisation of the natural lake and hills. Their policy for kids of different size and adult is so that all can't get into same rides. That means adults can ride specific rides and kids can ride some childish small rides only. That defeats the purpose of family fun. To make it worse, those policy is not written, you have to ask in front of every ride. Staffs are not at all cordial and well behaved. They work like bus conductor and don't give complete info or knows how to deal with customers. Entry fee is very high, 350 taka. That means only to see the lake and hills you have to pay this ! Entry with 5 ride is 500 taka, where the rides are different for kids and adults.

I had a nice time at Foy’s Lake Concord Amusement World! The place offers a fun experience with a good selection of rides and a beautiful lake view, making it a great spot for a day out. The atmosphere was enjoyable, and I’d definitely consider visiting again. However, I’m giving it three stars because there’s still room for improvement. Some rides could be better maintained, and the overall experience could be smoother with better facilities or organization. While I had fun, a few things could be improved to make it truly great. Overall, it’s worth a visit if you’re looking for a fun outing, but don’t expect perfection.

Very beautiful place with mountains, water, fun rides and lots of activities.

A good place to visit with family or friends. Especially kids will love this park. Inside the park there are various rides for kids and adults. The ticket price of the ride is given in the picture. Apart from the pictures, there are some other rides. Kayaking is available in the lake. Can go on a boat trip with the family. There are also boat trips to SeaWorld. The surrounding environment is quite good. No outside food can be taken inside. But the price of the food inside seemed high to me. Base camp is available. There are also resorts if you want to stay inside the park. Overall, good as an amusement park in Chittagong city. But everything costs a little more.

Foy’s Lake in Chattogram is a popular spot for its calm waters and lush surroundings, perfect for a short escape into nature. The boat rides are especially loved by families and couples. Unfortunately, the amusement park lacks proper upkeep, making some rides feel unsafe. Many visitors complain about expensive, low-quality food options. The resort area suffers from poor maintenance, including water leaks and unclean rooms. Customer service is often reported as unresponsive and unhelpful.

You need to have permission to enter into this beach. If you have any naval officer relative or friend it will be easier. It is not a beach in true sense but the mouth of the Karnaphuli River opening into the BoB (Bay of Bengal). The area is restricted and fenced for security. This is why you can enjoy the view of both river side (some portion) and the sea. But you cannot get down to the beach itself. Only when there is high tide, water level rise upto the boulders which are beyond the fence. However, it is not bad for a family time spending with young kids for their safety. Also the area is maintained by grassy meadow like slope which the kids enjoy most. There are washrooms and a cafeteria here. You can park your car with safety. As it is a restricted area, the crowd is less except for occasions or holidays.

It is a place where everyone has to visit once to refresh their mind and soul.The beach is a nice place to visit with friends and family members. The area is nice and the security is also tide here. So travel will be charmed. There are few restaurants and restroom which are usable if needed. Thank you. 😊

The shore of ocean never fails to surprise us. Naval Sea Beach isn't any different in that case. The atmosphere and everything natural you can see here reminds you the calmness of sea. However I'm still giving this place 3 out of 5 because of people. Sadly many businesses run here and to observe the beauty, you must pay and then get a chair for yourself to sit. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing in itself unless you're forced to do that. Which happens here frequently, the shop sellers will sometimes nag you to purchase foods from them (which isn't great) and get rid of their constant interference. This kills the ocean vibes quite a bit. If there were public spots freely available to everyone and nobody had to face unwanted naggings of shop sellers, Naval would become 5/5.

The experience is just wow during rain. I love to visit there during the rainy season. The calmness of nature and the rough sea to gather will create a mind blowing experience for anyone. You must fall in love for sure. Rain, sea, piyaju, tea, ship. 🥰🥰

Wonderful area for refreshing your mind. Its wise to visit the place at afternoon so you may have a sound weather there. River is usually remains calm and quite. Lots of roadside restaurants are there where you can eat small snacks, crab, chola etc. Usually in holiday the area remains a bit crowded. Try to burgain with the asking price whatever you want to buy or want to go.

It's a nice place to relax and grab a quick bite. There are plenty of stalls selling snacks. You can find fried crab, variety of fish fry, ect. It's best to go after sundown or around sunset.

A very nice travel area needs some fresh air with bird spring with a gentle breeze and the right neighbourhood with all these facilities in Bengal (Piyaju and Kakra). Yes, it is a kind of open space without any barriers, but you will feel every moment here.

Parki Sea Beach: A Hidden Gem Near Chattogram Parki Sea Beach, also known as "Parkir Char Sea Beach," is located just an hour to an hour and a half away from Chattogram city. While Cox’s Bazar and Patenga Beach were once the only well-known beaches in the region, Parki Beach has gradually gained popularity. On one side, you’ll find lush green casuarina forests, and on the other, the vast blue waters of the sea, welcoming visitors with breathtaking beauty. The gentle sea breeze will instantly lift your spirits. Chattogram, often referred to as the city of beaches, is home to several natural beaches, and Parki Beach is one of them. However, to reach it, you must cross the Karnaphuli River from Chattogram city. The beach is rich in natural diversity, featuring red crabs, casuarina forests, and much more. In the past, the road to Parki Beach was not well-developed. However, as more travelers began visiting, authorities renovated the road, making it smooth and accessible. Additionally, security measures have been strengthened. Alongside the beach, under the shade of the casuarina trees, numerous food stalls and small shops have emerged, offering visitors refreshments and souvenirs. Visitors can enjoy speedboat rides on the sea, explore the shoreline on sea bikes or horseback, and take in the serene surroundings. These activities are available for a fixed hourly rental fee. Walking north along the casuarina forest, you’ll reach the confluence of the Bay of Bengal and the Karnaphuli River, a mesmerizing sight for nature lovers. How to Reach Parki Sea Beach First Route: 1. Take a CNG auto-rickshaw from Chattogram city and ask the driver to drop you at Patenga 15 No. Jetty. 2. From there, cross the Karnaphuli River by boat. 3. Once on the other side, take an auto-rickshaw to Parki Beach. The fare is around 100 BDT. 4. To return, follow the same route. The total travel time from Chattogram city to Parki Beach is about one hour. Alternatively, you can reach Parki Beach directly via the third Karnaphuli Bridge, but this route takes more time and costs more. Second Route: 1. From any part of Chattogram city, take a bus or tempo to the Shah Amanat Bridge (third Karnaphuli Bridge). 2. From there, take a bus heading toward Bottoli Mohsin Auliya Mazar in Anwara Upazila. 3. Be careful not to confuse Bottoli with Boiltoli, as they are different locations. 4. Ask the bus conductor to drop you at a place called Center, which is actually Malkhan Bazar but commonly referred to as "Center." The bus fare is 25-30 BDT per person. 5. From Center, you can take a CNG auto-rickshaw to Parki Beach for 100-150 BDT. Before heading to the beach, you may purchase food and other essentials from Center Bazar or the market near Chattogram Urea Fertilizer Housing Colony, as shops on the beach may not have everything you need. If you prefer to hire a CNG auto-rickshaw directly from Chattogram city to Parki Beach, the fare is 400-500 BDT. For any assistance, you can contact the Rangadia Police Outpost, located near the beach. Where to Stay? There are no quality accommodations near Parki Sea Beach. Therefore, it is best to plan a day trip and return to Chattogram city in the evening.

Nice view. Sand are like cement, ur cloth will not be filled with sand like coxasbazar beach. Cool environment as very few tourists.Too much garbaze.

Parki Sea Beach in Chattogram, Bangladesh, is a hidden gem known for its serene beauty and peaceful atmosphere. The long stretch of golden sand and gentle waves make it perfect for relaxation and a peaceful getaway. While it’s less commercialized, the lack of overcrowding adds to its charm.

Despite this, Parki Sea Beach is an ideal destination for those seeking a quiet, nature-filled escape.

Parki see beach is a very nice place to visit near Chattogram and Patenga. I think it is almost 2nd beautiful Sea Beach after Cox's Bazar. You fee like Cox's Bazar but less crowded, it is best for picnic or students Educational tour. than Cox's Bazar. lastly it was amazing see beach for a day trip.

Beautiful place in anowara, I visit this place 3 time💙💙💙

Parki Beach looks beautiful in photos, but reality is completely different. This place is full of fraud and scams. All locals there try to take your money in any way possible. If you go alone or as two people, they will target you more. ATV rides: Overpriced scams—1000–2000+ Taka for just a few minutes. DSLR photo guys: Take your photos first, then ask crazy money. Even sitting on random chairs costs you—people demand payment. No tourist police available. The office is there but empty, no help if something happens. I personally felt scared and uncomfortable. Not recommended for families or solo travelers. Visit only if you’re ready to deal with harassment.

I visited Handi Restaurant during my Chottogram journey. The food was really delicious and well-cooked, but I felt the prices were a bit on the higher side. Overall, it’s a nice place if you want to enjoy good taste and quality food, but be prepared for the cost.

This is my 2nd time going Handi in this location.. i loved their Evening Manu, Hence going again & again. This one start after 4.00 PM before is only lunch available. Was bit awkward knowing it as I went for dosa, at lunch but they said it will be available after 4 in the evening, we had drinks previously too. It tasted so much better than anything I expected. Don’t know about lunch or dinner menu yet will let you know when I try it next time. Environment if family friendly. Interior is also pretty, it’s a big space restaurant with good manner waiters 🧡

The Handi Biryani was just okay. I only got one proper meat piece and two pieces were mostly fat. It wasn’t served hot enough. Most of the time, they don’t have the items they advertise, even though they promote as if they have a wide variety.

The restaurant is well decorated. It can be the top choice if anyone wishes to taste Haydarabadi Biriany in Chittagong town. Although having good taste of food,I am giving it 4 stars because of the overprice considering the amount. It's true that they served 4 pieces of mutton but the amount of rice is not enough. A full plate biriany per person is 480tk which might be lesser in cost. Another reason for not giving 5 stars is that they don’t provide any complementary salad or pickle or any other item which is frustrating. Instead customers have to spend at least 80tk for ordinary type salad. Fruit custard was also ordered which cost 110tk, the taste was ordinary and amount wasn’t enough... You will find the same type of Fruit Custard outside within 50/60tk. However, I will not recommend it to anyone who has budget constraint....

Handi offers a mixed bag. The restaurant boasts a beautiful interior – a plus point for a special occasion. Their Hyderabadi biryani is a heavy hitter- flavorful and perfectly cooked. The beef boti kabab was also tasty, though on the pricier side. However, the high points are spoiled by big downsides. The tandoori chicken, unfortunately, falls flat, lacking the expected smoky char and juicy tenderness. But the most concerning aspect was the extremely rude behavior and service from the staff. The waiters behavior was unfortunately quite rude. We experienced a long wait time on both getting seated and for our food to arrive.The condition of the restroom was also unsatisfactory. The overall service left a lot to be desired. If you're looking for an good biryani,want to show off other people and can tolerate long waits and bad service, Handi might be worth a try.

Pasta, Sea food pizza, Dosa was good. Taste varies though. I did not like the Borhani and Jira Pani. Budget friendly.

It is a very well organized restaurant..... 😌 Their 1 portion of meal is good for 2 people. Like the Chicken butter masala on the menu may seem over prized but their portion is good for 3 person.... So for one person you can order half of the meal portion and you will be good. The service was really fast and neat..... Over all a very good place near the bus stops to have dinner or lunch....😇

Ambrosia restaurant provides variety of food in buffet and good option for corporate program and friends and family dine in.Loved their food and ambience but there is scope of improvement on food taste.There is a spacious arrangement there.Recommended to visit for corporate and group program.

It's a famous Chinese Restaurant, they offer Buffet Lunch in reasonable price with variety of menu to choose from. Free car park and also free street parking. Their food quality and service is good. The Ambience of the restaurant is greatp They also rent their space for social gathering such as Wedding reception, Birthday Celebration and other social gatherings

We had a function on last Friday at noon. We had a food order ( Kachi Birany) for our 200 hounarable guest. It was a bad experience for us. They had commited to us to provide chicken roast ( Sonali) but they gave us chicken ( Boiler). Indeed They cheat us not giving menu according to conditions. This is very bad experience for us with Ambrosia Restaurant.

"I loved their buffet — every item was delicious. The only thing I didn’t like was that they charged a service fee. VAT is understandable, but for a buffet, the service charge feels too high."

In Chittagong any Chinese restaurant Ambrosia marked a remarkable effort by bringing authentic Chinese flavor with great quality food . People like their great atmosphere with high quality service.I must say the staff is properly trained as their behavior is so freindly and they look after us very well .It's good for large groups, corporate, family, couples or any business conference as they get huge set up,team ambrosia well done 👍👍👍

The food was very good. The ambience was nice. Quite liked the experience.

One of the best restaurant in Agrabad area with good Atmosphere and position ! Food qualility is good , You would not feel crowdy because of a big hall room and can spend your time easily . Small/small medium types programs like, Walima, engagement can easily be managed! You may check food price list before booking !!

Visited Barcode Restaurant at 2 No. Gate, Chattogram, with high expectations, but was slightly disappointed. The ambiance is nice and the staff were courteous, but the food taste did not meet the standard. Dishes looked good but lacked flavor and seasoning, especially compared to the price. Service was fairly quick, and the environment is suitable for family or friends’ gatherings. However, for a restaurant with such a reputation, the food quality needs improvement. Hope they work on enhancing the taste and consistency to match the overall vibe of the place.

Buffet style Bangla cuisine. Taste of different Bengali foods under one roof. Food is good. Service could be better. Have to wait during rush time.

Went to Barcode with a group of 8 and had a great time! We ordered a bunch of different dishes and overall, the food didn’t disappoint. The Beef pasta Bolognaise was super tasty, and their chicken broast was a hit too — crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. We also tried a couple of their desserts, and they were really good! The only miss for us was the Thai clear soup — it didn’t quite hit the mark. The chicken they used in the soup was a bit smelly. The place itself was clean and had a nice vibe, nothing too fancy but comfortable enough to chill and enjoy a meal. Definitely planning to go back — great spot for groups and good food!

Went to Barcode with a group of 8 and had a fairly good time overall. The place has a clean, relaxed vibe — nothing over the top, but perfect for a casual group meal. We ordered a bunch of dishes, including their popular “RIP Diet”. I’ve had it before and remembered it being rich, moist, and super satisfying. Unfortunately, this time it felt dry and stale, like it had been sitting around too long. Still good enough to share, but definitely not as impressive as it used to be. The Beef Pasta Bolognese was great — flavorful and nicely done. The chicken broast also hit the mark: crispy, juicy, and well-seasoned. We tried a couple of desserts too, and those were actually pretty good. The Thai clear soup was the only real letdown — bland broth and the chicken had an odd smell. One thing that bugged us a little: our server seemed professional, but the way he took our order felt a bit rushed. We barely had time to look through the full menu before being asked to decide, which wasn’t ideal for a group trying to order different things. Still, Barcode is a decent spot if you’re looking for variety and chill group vibes. Hopefully next time the service and food are more consistent.

Barcode Cafe – 2 No Gate, Chattogram I’ve had good experiences at other Barcode Cafe branches, but this one was a letdown. ✅ What was okay: • The Bhuna Khichuri (130 BDT) was the only item that stood out—it was decent, maybe even average at best. • The Malai Cha (40 BDT) was flavorful, though a bit overpriced. ❌ What went wrong: • Most of the food was very oily and over-spiced—difficult for people who prefer less heat or cleaner flavors. • Nothing felt worth the price—from vorta to chutney, everything lacked freshness or balance. • Despite the nice interior décor and artistic walls, the food quality didn’t match the ambiance. I expected a lot more given Barcode’s reputation, but sadly this branch didn’t live up to it. Would recommend the other outlets instead.

Everything is good, but the place is extremely busy as it is a favorite place for the people of Chattogram.

I ordered red and white cream pasta and a beef burger, The pasta was salty and had no spice, The burger beef patty was rubbery. I asked them for spicy sauce for the pasta and they gave me two types of sauce, after mixing the sauce then the pasta was good. The good part is that - they were very concerned that i didn’t like the food, so they gave me dessert. 🥰

I visited Meridian Restaurant today for their Iftar and dinner buffet, and trust me, this was hands down the worst buffet experience I’ve ever had in Bangladesh. From the moment I walked in, the environment felt unbearably uncomfortable. The cooling system was a complete joke—their ancient, outdated AC units struggled to function, leaving the entire floor hot and stuffy. Despite the ACs visibly running (and probably costing them a fortune in repairs), we were sweating profusely throughout the meal. It felt like dining in a furnace, not a restaurant! The food was equally disappointing. The dishes lacked flavor, variety, and freshness, as if they’d been sitting out for hours. For the price they charge, I expected quality and comfort, but instead, it felt like a total waste of money. If you’re looking for a pleasant Iftar or dinner experience, avoid this place at all costs. The only thing you’ll gain here is regret and a lighter wallet. Seriously, spend your hard-earned money elsewhere—where the AC works and the food doesn’t taste like an afterthought. Zero stars for the effort. Never again!

Its a lovely #Restaurant for eating with family and friends. There environment is beautiful. There food is also tasty one can eat and have an important discussion here with their dearest one. They serve variety of food with different taste. Price is also not much high. I think its a good restaurant for having a good time in leisure period. They also take reservations for small party like family buffet dinner and small food feast or any small weding occasion.

My experience at Meridian Hotel Dhaka was truly delightful. From the warm welcome at the reception to the elegant ambience, everything reflected comfort and quality. The rooms were spacious, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed for both business and leisure stays.

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights last month. The hotel room was big but not clean, had no hot water and was old. The hotel needs modernisation.

My experience was pretty good and I was satisfied with the behaviour. Thanks for the service

The hotel is great,i loved the experience for being there i would like to visit it again and again.

You don't need to worry about your room and service, everything is perfect.

Years ago, restaurant was in 2nd floor and a bit large in size. Now it shifted in level-4. Food quality is very tasty,warm and fresh.. Yesterday we took fried rice, rice soup, wonton, masala chiken..and alu nan... If you visit,must try Alu nan. One of yummy dish without oil. Also love the Rice Soup.unique and good enough to 3people. Must try desset Faluda. If anyone want to try Chinese dish or indian dish. Its best place to visit with Family.

First visit here today and it was an amazing experience! The staff were very humble and professional. We ordered the Chicken Hyederabadi Biryani and Chicken Karahi along with butter naan and plain naan. This order is similar to what we had at Shamiyana for a comparison. Hyederabadi Biryani was much better in terms of flavour, aroma, and colour. It wasn't spicy enough though. Their chicken karahi was the best and most unique in taste. Probably cooked in mustard oil. Butter naan and plain naan were both very soft and crispy at the same time. Overall, I recommend this place for Indian food lovers

Tava Restaurant in Chattogram is a well-regarded dining spot located on Zakir Hossain Road, within the Arcadia Shopping Complex. Established in 1993, it offers a serene atmosphere perfect for any gathering. Cuisine Variety: Tava is known for its diverse menu, featuring Indian, Asian, and Bangladeshi dishes. Specialties include kababs, Rumali Roti, Mezbani Beef, Beef Achari, and Shik Kabab. Ambiance: The restaurant boasts a spacious dining area with neat and clean tables. It also has several private rooms for different party sizes, making it suitable for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. Service: The staff at Tava are praised for their professionalism and efficiency. However, during busy hours, service might take a bit longer.

One of my best experiences with Bangladeshi-style Chinese and Thai food. Excellent food quality with great service — loved it! Anytime I crave good food, Tava will be my top choice as long as they maintain the quality. 😊

Foods are average or even below average. Everything is too pricey. But I wouldn't complain about it if the taste could compensate the overpricing. The staffs are friendly. Environment is good. Comfortable place for outing.

Perhaps the best restaurant I've ever been in. In anywhere. Excellent all-around. The decorations are great, food is superb, the service is extraordinary. The price is also reasonable for the service that you are getting. Every single item I tried was amazing. Tandoori Chicken is a must try. If you feel confused, ask the person who's taking your order, he's quite experienced. The internal architecture of the restaurant is one of best I've seen. They even thought to keep a place to wash your feet if you are looking for Namaz'. There's lobby like waiting area where you can sit as the staffs prepare your table. Definitely worthy of a visit, I'll definitely come back again.

Tava is one of the few older restaurants in Chittagong. It was really good back in the day but recently it has gone bad. The food can only be described as merely "meh". The Thai soup was really tangy, the biryani was drenched with rose and kewda water and the butter chicken neither had butter nor chicken, just a boney-gravy mess. On a lighter note, the restaurant does offer different seating arrangements for different groups (ie family, friends, bar-buddies etc). The Chicken tandoori might be the only thing keeping this place running. It was well prepared and when paired with a soft butter Naan and sweet Lassi it will send your taste buds on a wild ride. The staff is well-mannered and friendly. The ambience is nice and the place is clean. Thatall being said, this place is expensive and you don't get a bang-for-your-buck experience. All-in-all it was a decent experience nonetheless.

Had buffet dinner in the place. It's Ok. The steaks are good for bengali pallette. BBQ'd dori and Basa fishes are good too. The chicken Mandi was good. From the dessert section i liked the Shemai, and Gulab jamun, though both were a little too sweet. Mousse cakes are ok.

Last time we visited the buffet was on September 26th and today (Feb 24th 2023). Today was our 1st anniversary and coincidentally we got married at Radisson so decided to celebrate here. The waiter seated us and took our order for water and juices which were complimentary on our last visit so we thought nothing of it but saw other tables haf different water bottles. The location of the buffet was moved to another end of the same floor and was poor in decoration. The items were greatly reduced in number all items were either bengali or indian which was greatly disappointing at a 5 star hotel. Most items were chicken based with only one beef item apart from grilled steak from live kitchen. The beef item was horrible in tase and am pretty sure was some leftover mix. The prawn item tasted extremely poor. The only high point was the live kitchen grilled items and some desserts. only ice creams were melted strawberry and mango which seemed to be sourced from local stores. The quality of this buffet has gone down the drain and no staff or the manager even cared. The manager pointedly walked away from me to the kitchen when I was complaining during payment. The a couple of juices cost 20% of the buffet price which is absurd and water bottle was billed at 150 BDT despite same being available mrp at 30 BDT outside. Not recommended at all unless they change their food and service.

Well done & cool place besides hill.From outlook is really fantastic

is verry verry eamy food

In one word ”fantastic "

👌

Good

I suppose to give them 5 Star but cut one star for a reason, why? Telling later. I was recommend by on of my colleague to visit and test Italian cousin, I’m a big fan of Italian cousins for its simplicity. So I visit there and at first site it was superb. The interior is brilliant and cozy. But I felt I was not wanted. Anyway I order a spice prawn spaghetti . Spaghetti was well cooked, the sauce is delicious but prawn seems over cooked and hard. No test at all. I order a cappuccino which is average. But there is a notice on the door which attract me “they reserved right not the server anyone deem fit”! Quite surprising, isn’t it!

Love the place and decorated too well. Food taste was good. Their service was excellent. This place was nice and calm when we visited. Their food price is expensive.

Unreasonably expensive. Having eaten across continents I found the pricing to be unfair and unjust and I find no justifications for the price tag. Speaking of which, I’ve found this place more expensive than Manhattan and London.

The undeniable exclusivity and attention to detail the food served at Regalo consists of justifies the overpriced menu. Everything from the appetizers to the dessert options provided are a cut above the rest, making Regalo the best continental restaurant in Chittagong.

Ordered Surf'nTurf, comes with tenderloin. Steak was decent (it was slightly chewy), but considering this is Chittagong, I gave it 4 star. It's almost impossible to find steak in this city other than 5 stars. The menu looked good and I will try other stuff in future.

Good food, pretty nice interior, friendly and helpful staff. Nicked off a star because it's quite expensive considering the portions and the items served.

The food was good comparatively with other restaurants. Liked the Virgin Mojito. Steak was 3 out of 5 rating. Lemon Butter Chicken was good and was done right. Overall it was good experience.

Food taste is average. Buffet variety is less . Serve As usual food always .

🤮🤮 The restaurant staff were entirely unprofessional. The prices of the food were unreasonably high compared to the quality. The food was so poorly prepared that it was barely edible. The taste of their biryani was so awful, it seemed as though none of the staff had ever actually tasted proper biryani in their lives.

The place is so much awesome and they have good behavior,Their buffet is mindglowing..price was 815+ vat+sc, overall 1000 BDT with drinks(glass) and water(500ml)

I attended a programme that's why I had the opportunity to have the buffet dinner. Item was less than other buffet. I like it cause they didn’t increase menu by doing various chicken recipes. Dessert item specially kheer and gajar ki halwa was awesome. The place is also big to arrange for seminar or get together.

If you want to have a family outing and want to eat Chinese items, this seemed like a very good place in chittagong. The place was large and spacious. Foods were fresh and tasty. Service was really good as well.

It is located in near GEC in front of Yunesco city center.I went to the restaurant for availing the Buffet offer. The cost is Buffet is 850 and VAT will be added with it. The place was very large. But, there is a huge crowd. Some food is average and some food is very bad. Their behaviour is good. But, in the time of Buffet, people stand back your chair. That make you awkward. Otherwise, everything is okay

A very nice place. Good food with good environment. A place to go if you want a sophisticated food experience. But a little on the expensive side. So if you want to eat Thai,Chinese or Indian food in a very well place. This is the place to go. Great place for a casual family lunch/dinner.

The only reason for a 2 star is that we found the leg of a cockroach in the rice. We showed it to the server. He apologized about it and brought a fresh serving. It is totally unexpected of such a place to have health hazards and hygiene issues like this. I commend the server and the team for getting us a fresh meal but was the leg in the food itself? If so, the entire batch of food in the kitchen is contaminated. I would urge health inspectors to ensure they are maintaining proper standards.

A well known fast food restaurant in Chittagong city. There is a good selection of dishes available for every person. The atmosphere is good but tends to get crowded during the evening time and waiting time for food preparation may also bother someone if they are in a hurry.

I've been visiting this place since my early childhood. It was Chittagong's first proper fast food restaurant. Although it's no longer the only one, returning here brings back fond memories. The food remains just as delicious as ever!

The restaurant delighted us from start to finish. Unique decor featuring books, mouthwatering bamboo chicken, and exceptional service created a truly memorable experience in this restaurant. The atmosphere of this restaurant was cozy and elegant creating a perfect setting of the meal.

I'm really disappointed with the new Sugarbun/Well Food. It upsets me even more that I am disappointed considering how this was my favourite place. Before, Sugarbun alone had 2 floors, and RioCoffee had a separate floor. Now, all 3 floors are combined into one, which makes place feel so messy. The atmosphere felt so hectic and crowded. The menu that currently shows in here is not accurate. Meals are the same but the prices are very high. The quality and the quantity of the food doesn't match the price. I feel like the quantity they serve has become very less. The rice, French fries, even the cold drink. The kids' zone is always very disappointing. Before, there were just some small little rides that kids could go on for free, but they've removed all that and replaced them with machines that require money. It kind of feels like they were trying to copy Hideout. They also removed their ballpit, which was also very upsetting. You have to buy coins for the kids zone and 1 coin costs 50 Taka. The electricity went away for a good 5 minutes suddenly. We were playing a game on one of the machines when it went away, which turned off the game. When the electricity came back, the game restarted and they refused to let us continue the game for free because "the electricity is not our fault" I understand the electricity is not their fault but we paid for that game and not being able to continue that because of electricity is not our fault either. In short: 1) Place has become small. 2 Atmosphere is hectic. 3) Quantity of the food does not match the price. 4) Expensive. 5) No parking space.

Sugar Bun brings a refreshing concept to Bangladesh, offering an affordable hangout for young people. The Chittagong branches are clean, well-decorated, and staffed by enthusiastic employees. While the food might be simple for some, it contributes to a new and appealing dining scene in Chittagong, along with Well Food's other offerings like Rio Coffee.

I tried the hot chicken pasta for 375tk. It’s quite expensive but worth it. It also comes with a drink. The amount was good. If you are a light eater 2 person can share easily even though it's meant for one person.

Good pizza in chattogram. These pizzas doesn’t exactly taste as pizzahuts in middle east. But its great. Well behaved waiters and their manner have been great. Fully satisfied with everything,

I've been going to Pizza Hut since my childhood. Really can't complain about the quality. In Chittagong no other pizzaria can compete with pizza hut. If you are going with family of 4 try to take Set menu - 3 and upgrade one pizza to super supreme for only 199tk. The price of beverages could be less. But the pan pizza of Pizza Hut is just classic. Recommend for anyone who want to enjoy Thin Crust Pan Pizza 🍕

Affordable pizzas, hospitable and energetic staff, and a spacious place to chill and socialize. *Not to mention, great pizzas too*

The place isn't very big and it's not really set up for a chill chat. It was super loud and the AC wasn't doing its job. The pizza was awesome, but I couldn't hang out there for long because of the crazy noise and the heat.

Great place for Pizza, taste is great with well mannered service crew. Among many new inconsistent restaurants of Chittagong (opened in last few years) they are maintaining consistency of taste and quality for decades Recently renovated in late 2018 with new fresh look, with more compact setup. Interior is sharp and colorful. Have well maintained washroom and children play zone. Stairs is the only option of entry. Limited few parking facility.

Nice food and environment. And nice service. But cold drinks price is too high. It should be less. And pasta was saltless or very minimal amount of salt. Pizza was good.

Dough is not good at all, too much thick. It doesn't have good taste at all, compared to other restaurants. I tried different type of pizza from them especially Tandori & Pan pizza. Their Garlic Bread with cheese why does this even exist in their menu. 😂 But their staffs are very polite and helpful.

Cox’s Bazar International Airport is overall good and functional, though there’s room for improvement. The service could be better, and the airport needs more cleanliness and regular maintenance. That said, the staff are helpful and courteous. Since the airport is still under construction and development, some issues are understandable at this stage.

Cox’s Bazar Airport may not be the biggest or fanciest, but it does the job—especially if you’re eager to get to the beach as soon as possible. Located just a short drive from the sea, it’s super convenient for travelers heading to Bangladesh’s most loved coastal city. The airport is small and simple, with a basic terminal and a relaxed vibe. Check-in and security are usually quick because it doesn’t get overly crowded like major airports. There aren’t many shops or food options, so it’s best to grab a snack before you arrive or after you leave. Still, it’s clean, easy to navigate, and the staff are usually helpful. One of the best parts? The view. Flying into or out of Cox’s Bazar gives you a beautiful glimpse of the coastline and hills—sometimes even with a golden sunset if you're lucky. The airport has been under renovation, with plans to expand and possibly welcome international flights in the future. For now, it’s a humble but functional gateway to a beautiful destination. If you go in with the right expectations, it’s actually a pretty smooth start (or end) to your beach adventure.

As a regional airport I will vote 3/5 but as an International Airport I will vote 1.5/5. Need renovation, we are living 2025 not 1990.

Airport is quite clean having sufficient seating arrangements post security checks. Few banks offer lounges with basic facilities. MTB introduced a breastfeeding area which is praiseworthy. However, checking in becomes chaotic during rush hours because of lack of space. Also, the entrance to the airport building is quite far from where the vehicles drop you. So you have to pass a area without any roof, which becomes a major issue during rain.

Cox’s Bazar Airport is small but clean and fairly organized, serving mainly domestic flights.Staff are friendly, and the airport is easy to navigate. However, facilities are limited—no ATM or currency exchange inside, and baggage handling is manual. The waiting area is basic, but a few decent lounges are available with snacks and Wi-Fi. One of the highlights is the beautiful view of the Bay of Bengal during takeoff or landing. Overall, it’s a functional airport with room for improvement, but it serves its purpose well for a quick entry or exit from the beach city.

Cox’s Bazar Airport is small and simple, but improving. New terminal work is in progress, so the future looks promising.

Small airport, no security, no checking while arriving, hope its not the same during departure. The runway view is amazing.

Shah Amanat International Airport (CGP) in Chattogram is Bangladesh’s second busiest airport. It handles both domestic and international flights, mainly to the Middle East. The airport is generally clean and efficient, with quick immigration. However, facilities like restaurants and luggage services could be improved. Overall, it’s functional but needs modernization.

Shah Amanat International Airport (formerly known as M. A. Hannan International Airport) is the second largest airport in Bangladesh, located in Chittagong. About 21 percent of Bangladesh's passengers use this airport. The Bangladesh Air Force uses it as part of the BAF Zahurul Haque base. The airport was previously named M. A. Hannan International Airport after Awami League politician M. A. Hannan. Later, on 2 April 2005, the Bangladesh government renamed it after the 18th century saint Shah Amanat. The airport is capable of handling 1.5 million passengers and 6,000 tonnes of cargo annually. It is also the base for the country's largest pilot training center, the Arirang Flying School, based in South Korea. It is the second largest airport in Bangladesh. Although the airport's infrastructure has been modernized, overall facilities are still limited compared to international standards. Although it is an important gateway for both domestic and international flights, the weaknesses of some basic services and inefficiency of management disappoint passengers. Although initiatives have been taken to increase passenger and cargo services in recent years, some problems still exist. The Ansar force, which is kept as security, shows very bad behavior to passengers and relatives accompanying passengers in this area. They also extort money in various cases. Passengers suffer due to this.

The airport works fine for quick travel, but it needs more improvements. Waiting lounges are limited, food options are very few, and sometimes the baggage claim takes longer than expected. However, the staff are cooperative, and security checks are done properly. With some upgrades, it can become much better.

Visited Shah Amanat International Airport recently and was thoroughly impressed. The staff were professional and efficient, the facilities were clean, and the overall experience was smooth. Great connectivity to various destinations. Proud to see such a world-class airport in Chittagong, Bangladesh. Would definitely travel through here again!

As a frequent flyer between Chattogram and Dhaka, Shah Amanat International Airport has become a familiar hub for me, and my recent visit today (August 19, 2025) reaffirmed why I keep coming back. The airport has a certain charm-compact yet functional, with a welcoming vibe that reflects Chattogram's warmth. Check-in counters are generally efficient, though peak hours can get crowded-pro tip: arrive early to breeze through. The staff are courteous, and I’ve always appreciated the local touch in their service. Security checks are thorough but quick, and the waiting areas are clean, with decent seating. The food options could use a bit more variety (more local delicacies, please!), but the existing cafes serve decent coffee and snacks to keep you fueled. The free Wi-Fi is a lifesaver for last-minute work or catching up on messages, though the signal can be spotty in some corners. Boarding is usually smooth, and the views of Chattogram’s lush landscape during takeoff are always a treat. One small gripe: the parking area could be better organized, as it felt a bit chaotic today. Overall, Shah Amanat is a reliable airport that gets the job done with a local flair. It’s not flashy, but it’s got everything you need for a hassle-free journey. Keep improving, and I’ll keep flying!

Shah Amanat International Airport serves as the gateway to Bangladesh’s bustling port city, Chattogram. As the country’s second-largest airport, it plays a vital role in connecting the southeastern region to both domestic and international destinations.

Shah Amanat International Airport, located in Patenga, Chattogram, is Bangladesh’s second-largest international airport, serving over 1.6 million passengers annually. The airport features a single terminal divided into international and domestic sections. The international terminal offers amenities such as a duty-free shop and snack bar, while the domestic terminal has limited facilities. Lounges like the Air Lounge and UCB Imperial Lounge are available, providing a comfortable space for travelers.   Transportation to and from the airport is facilitated by car or taxi, with a parking facility accommodating up to 400 vehicles. While the airport has undergone modernization efforts, certain areas require improvement. Facilities are limited, and cleanliness standards need enhancement. Additionally, reports have highlighted issues such as passenger harassment and extortion, particularly affecting first-time travelers and migrant workers.   In summary, Shah Amanat International Airport serves as a vital gateway for travelers to and from Chattogram. However, enhancements in infrastructure, amenities, and passenger services are necessary to elevate the overall travel experience.
