Upon the entry into FR tower Preetom looks quite small and
not very flamboyant, but its simplicity shouts out its quality. The place is
well lit with a good ambience and most of the people coming here are either
students or corporate workers who don’t pay that much attention to the
presentation and are just looking for a quick good bite with value for money.
From the clear view of the kitchen it was quite clear that they weren’t afraid
to show that they are proud of their hygiene standards, and well let’s be
honest you don’t see that very often in the restaurants and cafés of Dhaka
city.
The beef burger, which Preetom is so well known for, was too good with
its juicy patty and generous spread of mayo and barbeque sauce, but it may not
have been the same for everybody.
Our friend Asif Ishtiaque and his friend
Sabrin Islam from BRAC University did not share the same view; they were rather
dissatisfied by the chicken burger and promised never to return to this place
again. In fact, they didn’t even finish their burger. Whatever might have
caused their discontentment, the unpleasant music from the Television channels
might have played a minor role in it.
We were also lucky to interview Mourin,
Tonmoy,Shakhawat, Tanzim, Shadman, Sunny and Kazi from American international
University of Bangladesh (A.I.U.B) who were totally satisfied with beef burger
and the chicken chow mien but made it very clear that this place is not for
family gathering rather for hangouts and quick meal.
The chow mien served in Preetom
was good but wasn’t anything worth dying for and it’s not surprising
considering people sings songs about their burgers only. However the lack of
more options in their menu was quite disappointing. We all love your burgers Preetom
but giving us more burger choices than just the beef, chicken and half pounder
would make things a little bit more exciting.
Further the lack of desserts also
adds to the misery and the abandoned ice cream machine just sits there, idly
waiting to serve the customers. Just to be clear there are two Preetoms few
yards apart which we did not notice at first due to our hunger and desperation
for food. Regardless they both are more or less the same. If you are looking
for a place to hang out with friends and have a quick satisfying bite, Preetom
is the place to be. Its simplicity may not attract couples and families but I
guess that is the point behind less attention to presentation and more attention
to food.
