Xinxian Restaurant, Chinese restaurant in Dhanmondi, Bangladesh
Xinxian Restaurant is a Chinese restaurant in the Dhanmondi neighborhood of Dhaka, Bangladesh, with several dining rooms and private sections. The menu covers Sichuan dishes, Thai curries, and other cooking styles from across Asia.
The restaurant opened in 1992 as part of the X-Group chain, and its Dhanmondi location was among the first in the city. The chain later grew to run nine locations across Dhaka.
The kitchen brings together Chinese cooking traditions with local ingredients, creating dishes that feel both rooted in Asian methods and adapted to what people in the city know and enjoy.
The restaurant opens twice a day, with a break in the afternoon between lunch and dinner service. Separate areas for groups and events are available, so booking ahead is a good idea if you are coming with a larger party.
One dish on the menu stands out: Thai shrimp served inside a fresh pineapple, a presentation you rarely come across in Dhaka. The contrast between the fruit and the savory filling makes it one of the more memorable things to try here.
