Welcome to Gharer Khabar


Gharer Khaber means ‘Homemade Food’ and offers authentic Bengali dishes like Biryani (a mix of rice, vegetables, and meat), Shutki (a fermented fish curry) and mango lassi (a mango flavored yogurt based smoothie). Join us for an evening spent relishing the smells and tastes of the streets of Dhaka.

Meet the Owner, Rumpa

Gharer Khaber was started by Nasima “Rumpa” Shahreen and Ashraful “Raja” Siddique, both of whom emigrated from Bangladesh’s capital city, Dhaka, to the U.S. in 2003. Gharer Khabar started as one Bengali family helping another in a time of need, by providing Bengali dishes to a family with a newborn. Word spread and eventually Raja and Rumpa were able to fulfill their dream of owning a restaurant. As head chef, Rumpa’s motto is “homemade food with affection, with love”.
