Eating Out

Seafood dominates — fresh fish, prawns, and hilsa are the staples. The main restaurant strip runs along Hotel Motel Zone near the beach. Jhawban and Poushee restaurants on Mookthijoddha Sarani serve reliable Bangladeshi fish dishes at low prices (60–130 Taka per dish). The Mermaid Eco Resort restaurant near Inani beach offers a more relaxed setting with Bangladeshi and continental food. The Seagull Hotel has a cluster of restaurants with a terrace overlooking the sea. Prices at local places are well below international resort norms.
