On the drinks side , the focus is on bringing the incredible produce of Bangladesh to a London audience . The house gin and tonic is flavoured with Bangladeshi lemon , a hybrid between lime and mandarin orange for the ultimate refreshing G & T . The Dhakaah Dirty Martini is based on Jolpai a giant olive-like fruit found across the Indian sub-continent . An own-brand range of beer is in the making to be launched soon after the restaurant opens - a perfect stand-up to the heady spices of the main menu .
Soft drinks include Lassi and the refreshing yoghurtbased drink Borhani , made with natural yoghurt , green chilli , black salt , coriander , and mint . The restaurant prioritises the use of free-range British produce , ensuring the highest quality across the menu . Some elements are sourced directly from Bangladesh , including Kalijeera rice , a small Bangladeshi variety with a distinct nutty aroma and delicate texture .
Dhakaah is part of a larger vision to bring Bangladeshi culture and its specific cuisine to the UK , highlighting the individuality and diversity of this often overlooked culture . By bringing the essence of Bangladesh to a British audience in a way that has never been done before , Dhakaah aspires to update the representation of Bangladesh in the UK and bring it into the mainstream .
Dhakaah officially opens to diners on 24th July , so come and join them for their soft launch period with a series of tasting events around Camden Market in the weeks leading up . Follow along at their Instagram for more details . www . dhakaah . com | @ dhakaah _ restaurants
