An important link between the heritage of old and rapid modern expansion, this important avenue has been the core of the arts and cultural movement in Dhaka for a long time, and simultaneously showcases a thriving food scene; it only gets more vibrant as Ramadan rolls in.
A stroll along the road will let you absorb the buzz at the time just before iftar. Some prefer to buy the scrumptious items from the classic Baily Hut, while others favour the neighbourhood as a place to hang out with friends, breaking their fast at one of the many newer restaurants.
The chargrilled delight of sheek kebabs from Nawabi Voj restaurant or the aroma of fresh French fries from the small Mama Piyaju can only add to the luxurious feel of a mouth-watering, signature Baily iftar.
Right before the adhan, last minute iftar shoppers scurry about; while others try to find a spot at any of the restaurants.
