Indian, including south Indian food available. It serves both vegetarian and non vegetarian food. Vegetarian food in Dhaka is not very common. The ambiance is good. You will hear the recordings of Santoor - a traditional musical instrument. Next to this is the Dhanmondi Lake and house of legendary leader Sk. Mujibur Rahman which is turned into museum.

we had to wait quite a while for the food, and although the waiters are very correct, and the place comfortable, the food was a bit of bland...for sure there are better indian restaurants about.

Located in the Dhanmandi side of Dhaka, right on Mirpur Road, this eatery has been serving the standard Indian fare for more than ten years I have been visiting Dhaka.

The interior, the cooking are truly excellent. And the best part is that you don't have any bad sideffects after the meal. Its also good value for money!

This is a good restaurant where one can have an average food without any disappointment. They mostly serve Indian food and they know their food well. This is a type of restaurant where people come again and again.

Really enjoyed the food and the service was very attentive. Good ambiance but the only suggestion for improvement in my point of view would be the fact that the guest loos need modernising.

We went to Santoor for a business dinner with a big group; the food was excellent, the atmosphere was great, and the restaurant had great decor and service. What I remember most is the best Tandoori Chicken I've ever had. It was a drive from our hotel (in Gulshan) but worth the hike. Would go back again and again.

To me, this place is not up to the fame it has. I found better Indian food at low price, with similar location.

Santoor is a great place if you are looking for Indian Sub continent food. It may be is the best restaurant in Dhanmondi Area. Both Veg and Non Veg available. Love this place.
