Dhaka sandwiches are one of Dhaka’s most popular street foods, and they make a perfect meal. Typically served with chicken or beef, these snacks are often spiced. Onions are optional but highly recommended—they add to their authentic taste. The bread is very similar to bread used for French or Italian sandwiches in that it is thin and crunchy; however, it is softer than other types of sandwich breads. You can have your Dhaka sandwich toasted if you prefer by asking your vendor before they serve it to you. If you want a traditional Bangladeshi experience and want to try something from every type of cuisine available in Bangladesh (which would be almost impossible), try a spicy beef filling in an original Dhaka sandwich!
