Interior influences dine-in choices in this era of social media No matter how weird it may sound, the taste of restaurants is a dealmaker when it comes to making a good impression. The presence of photogenic, social media-acclaimed varieties of dining and the presence of food-centric services nonchalant about the interior colour setup started as the technology and routing protocols of the internet advanced. The goers took a liking to that, and web documentation in the forms of reels, photos and reviews quickly garnered substance that, to date, responsibly functions as the impact of a public place.
As much as the internet has influenced how people perceive or react to stuff, it has, similarly, left a vast impact on their lifestyles. Travelling to a place like Hotel Kasturi or Kakoli Restaurant to enjoy fine dining like in the '80s by taking out a luxe taxi cab and dressing up in fresh and crisp clothes sounds all nice to read in Humayun Ahmed's story books. Nevertheless, the book-reading, cassette collecting, and black-and-white days of heavy-weight TV sets have left, but the restaurants still have timeless offerings. Hotel Kasturi and Kakoli Restaurant persists to date but somewhat got closed off to the competitive Pinewood cafe and kitchen or Jatra Biroti in Banani, where huddles are expected no less due to the vibrant indoor setup and people's lack of interest to go out like the times before the naughties.
To imply the reason behind the effect, the flow of shift in the restaurant taste of people didn't discriminatively display a noticeable influence on the restaurant-going people as the number of restaurants focusing on interiors and experimental food items primarily siding with the purpose that food is for fun burgeoned as entrepreneurs taking a liking to the high street or tastebud-wise popular food items massively selling out in hours every day, transformed their love to turn into a restaurant business like today's commercially successful food-selling joints like Chillox or Khana's.
As a place to gather, Nirob Hotel or Kolkata Kachhi Ghor has unique offerings. A rich, freshly cooked, hot-served broth consisting of bony beef, no less than fifteen types of bhorta, and no less than fifteen types of fish and vegetable curry varieties make Nirob Hotel and restaurant in Nazimuddin Road all the more special. The subverted offering at Banani's fine indoor restaurants solves two problems: the distance problem and the social media problem. The authenticity of Nirob Hotel's food items remains like a fresh note; they get beaten by the customers residing in Mohakhali, Kakali, MES, or Kurmitola, not about the privilege of personal vehicles or not willing to attend to the narrow Puran Dhaka lanes due to exhaustion. The culturally illustrious restaurants founded in Old Dhaka deal with the essential difficulties that Banani, Gulshan, Khilgaon, or Dhanmondi restaurants solve.
The restaurants born from experimental food items prioritising pleasing the tongue rather than being more soulful have a growing number of stations all over Bangladesh. Without opening up branches, the restaurants from the time of pre-independent Bangladesh persist to date, although often seen as waning moons and food joints becoming a country-wide distributed food network such as Kachhi Bhai, Chillox, Sultan's Dine, are the waxing moons that well represent that quality time spent to get ready for a good lunch, breakfast or dinner and reach there, have shadowed itself with triviality due to the presence of restaurants at the tip of our hands where food lacking timeless appeal but fast-food like attraction rules the cravings.
