Peshawari, Afghan and Pakistani cooking, brought to Bangladesh with the kitchen in full view. Hand-pressed kababs, slow-braised mutton, breads that arrive still steaming.
Join us for special dining events, guest chef takeovers, and seasonal menus at Peshawari Kitchen.
Behind glass, our masters conduct the dance of flame and charcoal. Every dum biryani is sealed under hand-kneaded dough. Every skewer rotates over coals reclaimed from the same trade routes that carried these recipes east.
Authentic Peshawari cuisine, prepared in Dhaka by chefs who learned this food in Peshawar: the sigri, the tandoor, the karahi, and the slow pot.

An all-rounder of authentic Peshawari and Afghan cuisine: pressing chapli kababs at the sigri, sealing biryanis under dum, reading the tandoor by hand. His real signature is the slow-braised work, Ranjha Gosht, Namkeen Rosh, the dishes you do not rush. The kitchen, in many ways, is his.
Master of the Sigri · Kebab & BBQ
Peshawar, Pakistan
Trained on the charcoal sigri and the iron tawa of Peshawar. Chapli kababs pressed by hand, seekh kababs seared to mahogany, and every cut that leaves the grill sizzling. If smoke and fire define the plate, it likely passed through Zubair's station.
Karahi Specialist
Peshawar, Pakistan
The iron karahi is his station: bone-in mutton bubbling with tomato and green chilli, Charsi karahi fired with salt and fat alone, Shinwari karahi served straight from the wok. If the karahi is singing, Abid is at the flame.
Tandoor & Bread Specialist
Peshawar, Pakistan
The tandoor is his domain: naan and roti still steaming when they reach the table, paratha layered on the tawa, breads fired the way they are in the lanes of Peshawar. Every loaf that anchors a meal passes through his hands.

“I've visited Peshwari Kitchen three times, and every visit has been a great experience. The food is consistently delicious and full of authentic flavor. I especially enjoyed the Chapli Kebab, Mutton Shinwari Karahi, Kabuli Pulao, and Seekh Kebab—each dish was cooked to perfection and tasted excellent. The service was attentive, courteous, and efficient, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality of the food and overall experience make it worth it. If you're looking for authentic Peshawari cuisine, I highly recommend this restaurant. Looking forward to visiting again!”

From the alleys of Qissa Khwani to the boulevards of Dhaka, the traditions of Peshawar travel with us. Every karahi is fired one at a time. Every loaf leaves the tandoor still breathing. Our cooks don't hurry, and neither should you.
