Akbaria Hotel

About

Akbaria Hotel is a century-old eatery in Bogura town. According to older residents, Akbaria was the first to sell iftar in Bogura town in the 1960s, offering beef and mutton tehari, biryani, khichuri and boiled chickpeas, with biryani handed out in paper cones or banana leaves. Today its Ramadan iftar is known for sour-yoghurt ghol (now in plastic bottles), halua and firni in new flavours, many kinds of biryani, shahi bundia, shahi jilapi, shahi haleem and various kebabs. On the first day of Ramadan 2025, bundia and shahi jilapi sold here at Tk 260 a kg, and buyers queued for an hour. One of its owners, Hasan Ali, says rising costs mean they cannot sell any cheaper.
