It seems a lot of you are searching for KFC and finding my earlier entry on the restaurant. Now that I have been to the restaurant I am in a position to give you my thoughts. And somewhereindhaka.net people - please don’t lift my images again. Get your own! You will have to buy me a plate of beryani somehwere in Dhaka if you do…
Now for the review. In a word, its chicken shit crap. If Pizzahut up the road can taste like the original, indeed even better, then why not KFC? The gleaming, shining interior promises so much. Yet the taste is nothing like KFCs elsewhere, and believe me I have tried them the world over….The original flavour chicken pieces are not original flavour at all. And the zinger burger was unrecognisable. The mayo tasted strange and there is an inedible spicy sauce alternative to the ketchup. AVOID. I was with another aficionado, a petuk of grand proportions, and he agreed with my conclusions. The only thing they got “right” were the fries. What is the point of such a fancy place if only the aloo bhaji is edible? The chef needs to do something - maybe a new batch of massala from HQ? Don’t let the side down Mr Chef - inward foreign investment is at stake!

The place looks very nice, and I will go in December! I will tell you if the taste improves!
Has your brother not been??! Blimey I must be sad if he has not been and I have….but then its something to do, innit?
Hope my kids won’t complain. I’m banking on KFC $ PH.
To Mr AH, sorry I have moderated your post and not published it. If you have information like that, please go to the appropriate newspapers and/or authorities and give them the story. This humble blog is not really the place for such revelations. I am genuinely sorry about that, and I appreciate the time and effort you took to write but I sincerely feel you should relate this elsewhere.
Your email bounced back and hence I am writing this here. Also all posts are moderated unless you have posted before….
Gah, rich people and their obsession with the west…. I must try it out, though:
1) I’m no where close being rich
2) I hate shops in yellow or red
3) Gulshan gives me the creeps.
Whatever, like 5% of the total populace of BD might’ve just heard of KFC…the rest of 95% still depend on “Ghosh er mudir dokan” or “Bonoful misti”.
How was the chicken crust though? I’ve heard thats the best part of a KFC.
BTW, nice.. I love K2 too..but you have the 3-column template.
well..haven’t had the chance to visit kfc gulshan yet as im not in desh..and reading ur blog (sr) im sorry to say..have no interest either..however i would also like to say that i also have tasted kfc all around..not tryin to criticize u in any way but arent fast food chains SUPPOSED to be tasting different in different countries..i mean if u go to any kfc outlet in Malaysia and compare it to a neighboring country like Singapore, there is a distinctive taste difference..they ARE supposed to adjust the taste according to the country invested in; depending on the preferences of the locals of course. we deshi ppl like to eat spicy food. thats probably the sauce u tasted was so spicy..maybe its not perfect but they are trying..or so i would like to think..
I feel reluctant to reply to you re KFC given the present political conjuncture but nevertheless while the country burns, let me talk about Kentucky fried chicken: I believe global food brands such as KFC rely on delivering a standardised product across all markets. It is part and parcel of the branding/marketing strategy. Local adaptations in this market strategy are necessarily minor ( otherwise there would be no branded product…)
But Adnan - do go and try it. Its a great badge of confidence if companies like KFC are coming into the country…..despite the best efforts of our hoodlum politicians to destroy everything that assures and gives confidence.
Bro SR
I dont agree with u FI as it takes out all our money out of the country.
With respect, Imtiaz, that is an age-old gripe about DFI. Joan Robinson, a famous economist here in Cambridge, once declared that it was better to be exploited by capital than not to be exploited.
With companies like KFC going in, there is skills transfer, job creation and a plethora of other positive externalities. Re taking money out of the country - well all companies are about making profits….even Grameen…

I have been to KFC’s in at least 10 countries. I have lived in Bangladesh for the last 3 months and I think the KFC here is the best in the world. Guess it has improved since 2006.
The main thing is the quality of the chicken is so high! Also, the crust is just perfect.
Thanks Niels for that. I hope you are right. I will try it out in late November. I will drop you a line to let you know. Cheers.

WoW it’s a really good news for Bangladesh that they got KFC. I love wicked wings also the plain gravy. But unfortunately i don’t know the difference b/w Aus & BD KFCs test. Hopefully they create their own flavoure according to their culture. Difference test will give you the real fun. Yes coming next year in Bangladesh before ICC world cup cricket also don’t want to miss the Yummy KFC….. Anyway cheer up Mate.
