 
At Kardamom Lounge we believe that we
have created a restaurant for tomorrow, which is traditional yet
modern, authentic yet innovative. Kardamom Lounge offers a relaxed
atmosphere to celebrate with you whatever the occasion.
All the dishes we have in our menu are
made to order, some dishes will inevitably take more time than others to
prepare, but our aim is not to rush the delicate process of cooking for
you the most delightful and mouth watering meal you will ever taste in
an Indian restaurant.
The cuisine of Bangladesh has considerable regional variations.
A
staple across the country however is rice and fish. As a large
percentage of the land (over 80% on some occasions) can be under water,
either intentionally because of farming practices or due to severe
climatological, topographical or geographical conditions, not
surprisingly fish features as the major source of protein in the
Bangladeshi diet. There is also a saying which goes, "Mach-e Batth-e
Bangali" (Fish and rice make a Bengali)
Bangladeshi cuisine is a generic terminology to refer to the
cooking-style and trend now prevalent in Bangladesh. However, several
regional variations, in terms of dishes, cooking style, serving style
and nomenclature, exists. In general, for cooking purposes, the
administrative divisions of the country more or less correspond to
regional divides as well.

The
main differences are as follows:
The
southern divisions 0f Barisal, Chittagong and Khulna, being close to
sea, tend to have a larger use of sea fishes in their cuisines as well
as lots of coconut milk.
Dhaka
is a cosmopolitan city that has historically been the capital. Dishes
involving fried rice and a lot of meat are usually legacies of Dhaka's
past as the capital of Bengali empires. Much of this is still visible in
the old city, where dishes like biryani, Mughlai porota and bakorkhani
are made by speciality stores, many of which have existed for over a
century.
West
and North-west - The West and North-west have, until recently, been
untouched by the fashions and trends in the capital, Dhaka. Vegetable
curries heavily occupy the main eating in these areas. Also, higher
level of use of spices is common. River fishes (sweet water fishes) are
common in the dishes.
North-east - Large number of lakes around the Sylhet Division
encourages greater use of lake fishes in the cuisine. Because of
proximity to the hills in Assam, several fruits and pickles that are
otherwise absent in rest of the country, such as satkorha, are used in
cooking and serving, producing a distinct nature to the dining menu
here.
