Really liked this place. We were looking for a place to eat at 3pm and most places in the area were closed. I guy handed us a flier and said it was open right now so we went in. After a dubious walk down a dark hallway and two flights of dirty stairs, we entered a delightful oasis. Sort of... More

I had previously been to the Mermaid when it was located in Baridhara and it wasn't terribly good, just really nicely decorated. The new place on Gulshan 2 circle is much better. It's on the second floor and does pretty well at keeping the incessant noise out. The lighting isn't too bright and there is lots of wood furniture, decoration... More

Nice place, i have been there twice, one with a group of colleagues during lunch time, and second time with a significant other for dinner. Both times were excellent. The ambiance, the superb service, and nice presentation of food. Maybe a little bit on the expensive side, but the service and place balance it out. Recommend the stuffed chicken, snapper,... More

This cafe, now located at Gulshan 2 circle, sports a nice ambiance and friendly team members to are attentive to customers' needs. The food needs a lot of working on, though, as they're mostly bland and not worth their prices. I'd go back to Mermaid only for their occasional musical night.

I heard a lot of reviews about this place, both good and not so good. So last night I with my husband went there to get our own review. If I compare this one to the one in coxsbazar than it’s a disappointment. I was amazed when I saw the coxsbazar mermaid. The décor, the food & the drinks though... More

We went there to hang out with friends and have light snacks like drinks and soups.. we were sooo disappointed in our orders that we were already shocked when the bill came and we saw its just over the top! I wouldn't ever recommend this place! If it had good food, I wouldn't complain about the price but Gosh! it... More

Ok... First of all, a valiant effort regarding decoration and everything. But it failed on so many levels. For eg. they tried to give a beach ambiance with wooden planks on the floor, however, they forgot the fact that not only males will be visiting their restaurant, there will be females too (however, if they designed it for males only,...

The first time i went to mermaid cafe gallery, in cox's bazar i absolutely loved the ambiance. Back then it was the only one and given to its location on the beach and the open kitchen the highly overpriced food with comparison to the very small serving did not really bother me. When they opened in Dhaka almost two years... More
