পানসী রেস্টুরেন্ট, Traditional Bengali restaurant in Moulvibazar, Bangladesh
Pansi Restaurant (পানসী রেস্টুরেন্ট) is a restaurant in Maulvibazar, a town in northeastern Bangladesh. It offers several seating areas, including air-conditioned indoor sections and open outdoor spaces.
The restaurant opened in 2011, founded by four local entrepreneurs, and has grown into a known spot for traditional food in the town since then. Part of the building occupies a section of Raja Nibas Palace, a historical structure that also houses a museum.
The restaurant serves Sylheti food, a local style of cooking that differs noticeably from standard Bengali cuisine. Dishes often feature freshwater fish prepared with spices and techniques common to this part of Bangladesh.
The restaurant is in the center of Maulvibazar and easy to reach on foot from the main streets. Those who prefer a cooler spot can ask for a seat in the air-conditioned section, while the outdoor area suits those who enjoy eating outside.
The building where the restaurant sits is part of Raja Nibas Palace, and a section of it holds a museum dedicated to the mystic poet Hassan Raja. A visitor can walk from a meal directly into a space filled with objects connected to one of the region's most celebrated poets.
