What দরদী is built around

Six things, under one roof.

Not a café that also does food, and not a restaurant that also sells coffee. দরদী is being built as one room that changes character through the day.

Coffee

কফি

A proper espresso bar at the front of the room — a two-group Faema machine and an on-demand 65 mm flat-burr grinder, so every cup is ground to order.

Juice

জুস

Seasonal fruit, pressed fresh at the counter. Fruit and ice — never powder, never concentrate.

Dining

খাবার

A Chinese zone at the back of the floor with its own kitchen behind it, alongside fried and oven items from the front kitchen line.

Events

অনুষ্ঠান

Birthdays, get-togethers, corporate sessions and private bookings — the floor is laid out so seating can open up to around seventy.

Entertainment & Sports

খেলা ও বিনোদন

A large LED wall faces the seating floor, for match nights and for presentations during the day.

Studio & Memories

স্মৃতি

A corner of the room set aside for photographs — the part of an evening people actually keep.

The neighbourhood

Sonir Akhra knows how to eat out.

A corner building on the main road, with roughly a hundred restaurants behind it, a gym in the same building and four more nearby. দরদী takes the third floor — high enough to be quiet, close enough to be easy.

Our Story · আমাদের গল্প

We have been on the sixth floor of this building for three years.

দরদী did not start with a location search. It started three floors up, in an office we have worked out of since before the idea existed — in a building we already knew, on a road we already knew, in a neighbourhood that already eats out every night of the week.

The third floor came free. Twelve hundred square feet, a corner of the main road, and a shell we could plan properly rather than inherit. That is the whole origin: not a gap in the market, but a room we understood.

The name

দরদী

Dorodee means someone who cares — someone with feeling for another person. It is not a word you use about a business, which is exactly why we chose it.

It sets the bar in one word, and the promise underneath it is the whole brief we hand to every person who will work here:

Our promise

আপনার আনন্দেই আমাদের আনন্দ

“We are happy with your happiness.” Everything on this floor — the coffee, the counter, the screen, the seats — exists to make that true on an ordinary Tuesday, not just on a good night.

How we are building it

Consistency is a system, not a talent.

A café is only as good as its quietest shift. So দরদী is being built on written recipes, weighed portions and fixed settings — so the cup you like is the cup you get, whoever is behind the counter that evening.

Ground to order
An on-demand grinder sits beside the machine, so coffee is ground for the shot rather than held in a doser.
Fruit, not powder
The juice bar works from whole seasonal fruit prepped on the counter. What is in season changes; the rule does not.
A counter designed first
Twelve feet, laid out zone by zone — espresso, till, fruit prep, juice, sink — with a stainless wet side and a quartz dry side, so the two bars never get in each other's way at the busiest hour.
A kitchen at the back
Kitchen furthest from the door, Chinese zone in front of it, bars at the entrance — so heat, noise and service travel away from where people sit.

Menu & Experiences · মেনু

Around twenty-five things, done properly.

A short menu is a deliberate choice. Fewer items means fresher stock, faster service and a kitchen that can hold its standard on a full Friday night.

11

Coffees

Built on espresso from a two-group machine, with milk drinks and black. Ground to order, every cup.

5

Fresh juices

Seasonal fruit, pressed at the counter. The list changes with what the market actually has.

~10

Fried & oven items

From the deck oven, the fryer and the griddle — the plates that go with coffee, and the ones that make a meal.

Full menu

Item names and prices are being finalised with the kitchen and will be published here before opening. We would rather print nothing than print a menu that changes in week one.

Experiences

The room does more than one job.

The coffee barকফি বার

Front of the room, first thing you see. A Faema E98UP two-group espresso machine with a 65 mm flat-burr on-demand grinder next to it, and the knock box in front — a working bar you can watch, not a service hatch.

EspressoMilk drinksGround to order
The juice barজুস বার

Sharing the same twelve-foot counter, with its own fruit prep zone and sink. Whole fruit in, glass out.

SeasonalFresh fruitNo powder
The Chinese zoneচাইনিজ জোন

The back of the floor, with a two-burner wok range behind it. Where a coffee visit turns into dinner.

WokDine-in
The screenখেলা

A large LED wall facing the seating floor. Match nights in the evening; slides, showreels and presentations when a company books the room during the day.

Live sportsPresentations
Studio cornerস্মৃতি

A set-aside corner with its own lighting, for the photographs that come out of birthdays and get-togethers.
