ক্যাফে অ্যাপিলিয়ানো, Western cuisine restaurant in Khilgaon, Taltola, Dhaka, Bangladesh
Cafe Appelliano is a Western cuisine restaurant located in Khilgaon, Dhaka, spread across two floors with indoor and outdoor seating areas. The menu covers a range of European-style dishes, and the layout allows both small groups and larger parties to sit comfortably.
The restaurant opened in the early 2010s, at a time when a small number of Western-style dining spots were beginning to appear in Dhaka. It was part of a broader shift in the city toward restaurants offering alternatives to traditional Bengali food.
Cafe Appelliano draws diners who want to try European-style cooking in a city where Western restaurants are still relatively rare. The menu reflects a local interpretation of Italian and French dishes rather than a strictly authentic version.
It is worth checking opening hours before visiting and confirming which payment methods are accepted. Reservations can be made through online platforms, which is useful on weekends when the restaurant tends to be busier.
Some of the pasta dishes on the menu are prepared with local spices, producing a flavor combination that you would not find in a typical Italian restaurant. This approach seems to be a deliberate choice rather than a compromise, giving the food a character of its own.
