Sampan - Mughal Kabab House

A lakeside restaurant with outdoor seating facility. Breakfast that I tried was good enough with properly cooked tender meats and daals that tasted perfect. Tried their beef curry, chicken curry, liver curry and mutton nehari with nan. The place was a little crowdy as it was a holiday and also we had to wait for a table service but the food was worth it. Atmosphere is very ambient with the lake by side giving an open environmental vibe.

Highly recommended place to have breakfast with nature along side with dhanmondi lake.
We visited there in the Early winter foggy morning of early January’24, still it was crowded people with family/ friends. Many of them straight came from walk of dhanmondi lake.
Sitting arrangements and their services should be improved as they are getting popularity and many more customers.
Food: 7.5/10
We took Romali roti, Parata with mix veg and daal and chicken soup. There was complementary 🥗.

Absolutely loved the kababs (specially the beef sheek) and parata. The beef curry (half) was enough for 5 people. It is better to come here in a group to taste all items.

I wish they had milk tea like Star, it would have made this a perfect evening!

I’ve tried their Kabab items- chicken bbq, chicken tandoori and beef boti kabab with rumali ruti and peshawari porota.All of those items were delicious and properly cooked and tasted great with the salad they’ve provided as ad-ons. What impressed me most is that they’ve a open kitchen located beside the lake, and the lake is also decorated with a beautiful boat and water lotus. A very good outdoor dining restaurant with such an elegant view from the table-nothing we could have asked for more.

Best in one word. Affordable and most yummy among all the lake side restaurants..

Excellent investment, good food, reasonable price. Anyone can arrange small or medium parties here easily. I have spent a good time here.

Great experience. Food was good. The environment is also good, with a natural view.

Breakfast item & Tea recommended.

Excellent breakfast,tired paratha,sepecil daal,vegetables,beef khuchuri,liver vuna & tea. All the items are very tasty, and outdoor seating arrangements are good by the lake.

The ambience and environment is good,however they need to improve on their customer service a lot. The waiters take a lot of time to listen to the orders' and place them accordingly.

If you go for breakfast over here,be there by 7:30am,since it gets packed really quickly and breakfast food items run out of stock quickly.

A nice open place overseeing the Dhanmondi lake. Has both outdoor and indoor seating options. Food is served fresh and the portions are good as well, especially the curry items.

Sampan is situated along the edge of a lake. Therefore, it offers a scenic environment. If weather permits, the outside sitting arrangement can add value to the experience. The quality of food is recommended. The service is a little slow, but the clients do not mind if they find a suitable seat to enjoy the surroundings. There are options for parking for around ten cars. There is less crowd during the off hours, for example in the late afternoon. I recommend it. Inside, the ambience is calm.

A lakeside Indian restaurant in dhanmondi 27.
They are the best in kabab and BBQ.

Natural environment. Staffs are nice. The lake and lily gives extra serenity to your relaxation.
Foods are really good at this price.
Their beef shik kebab is really smooth and metling. Reshmi kebab is another beaty. I should add that the Rumali Ruti is another beauty. overall its a 5 star.

I loved the place as it felt so asthetic in the evening. The lighting the breeze, the boat, the water lilies in the lake blew my mind. I just ordered a falooda. I ate nothing as I didn’t had any plans. The price is between moderate & high. I surely loved the place & thinking to revisit. ❤❤

It's such a good place. Food was delicious 😋

Sampan, Mughal Kabab House is a restaurant and outing place on road 27, Dhanmondi, Dhaka. Its a sing floor lakeside Restaurant which includes both indor and outdoor food serving. The place is not so crowdy. Neat and clean. There is a big parking lot in the front. Inside, there is a single floor building in which people can have food with family, and the kitchen and counter is also inside the building. The outer side of the restaurant is in front of a portion of Dhanmondi lake. The lake is beautiful when there is a lot of water in the rainy season. There is a nice boat in the lake, people can't ride it but the boat is a nice place to take pictures with. There is a flower corner on the West side of the restaurant. And there are many tables outside, so anyone can have their meal under the sky. The price is moderate , not so expensive, not so cheap. But some items are super expensive, can cost upto 2000tk for a single item. The taste is also moderate. Some may like it, some not. The staff behaviour is also good. Any one will have a good time there.

there food is very good, but service is not too good for breakfast.
so many cloud and waiter cannot handle their customer 😞

i like their coffee 💗

Open space beside the lake and close to nature. Appropriate for all type of people. Food, specially, grilled fish was good. Price is slightly high. They have air conditioned indoor sitting arrangement also.

Clean restaurant & Nice outdoor sittings
We went there for breakfast & sat indoor. They have plenty of sittings both indoor & outdoor. Sitting is not congested. It’s a clean restaurant. Outdoor sitting is nice too. But the lake is not clean, there are plastics & bottles on the lake. The food was good - Rumali ruti (traditional Bangladeshi bread), vegetables & breakfast chicken soup. Milk tea was sweet (they told it’s without sugar but they make it with condensed milk, so it tastes sweet) they couldn’t give me plain milk tea, so i had red tea. Price is reasonable, I recommend this restaurant.

Sampan - Mughal Kabab Restaurant was a chill place, with an amazing vibe. Near the lake with great decor and environment. The food was ok, staffs were ok, certainly could be better. The menu was limited. And there was a bit of mosquitoes as it was near the lake. I would recommend going there putting on mosquito repellant. And overall the restaurant just started, would recommend to try out to enjoy the nice vibe! Would be great for couples!
