Sometimes city life feels too fast—horns blaring, meetings piling up, and traffic eating away our weekends. That’s when you start craving something simpler… maybe the smell of pithas on a winter morning, the warmth of clay stoves, or just sitting by a pond with no rush to go anywhere.
That’s exactly what Shilbari’r Henshel gives you.
Tucked away in Nandonkona village, Sirajdikhan, Munshiganj, just an hour from Dhaka, this little paradise isn’t a fancy resort with pools and chandeliers. Instead, it’s a village home brought to life—wooden swings, clay stoves, leafy gardens, and food that tastes like it was made by someone who cares for you.
When you walk in, the first thing you notice isn’t the buildings—it’s the feeling. The open courtyard welcomes you with laughter and the smell of fresh rice steaming away. There’s a big pond where the breeze dances across the water, and little bamboo huts where friends sit together, chatting endlessly.
It feels like going back to your grandmother’s bari during Eid holidays—simple, pure, and heart-touching.
Let’s be honest: food is the real reason you’ll come here.
Imagine starting your morning with steaming hot chitoi pitha, paratha, or luchi, paired with duck curry or spicy beef bhuna. Then comes lunch—a feast laid out with fluffy rice, pulao, chicken roast, beef rezala, fish curry, dal, mashed vegetables, and seasonal greens. And yes, the meal ends with sweet payesh or shemai, because no Bengali meal is complete without dessert.
But here’s the secret: it’s not just the menu, it’s how it’s cooked. Every dish is made over a clay stove with firewood. That smoky aroma, that earthy flavor—you can’t find it in city restaurants. One bite and you’ll remember how food used to taste when life was slower.
Of course, food is the star, but the place itself gives you space to breathe. You can sit on a wooden swing with your cousins, dip your feet in the pond, or just stroll around the garden with a cup of tea in hand. Kids love running around the open space, while the grown-ups rediscover how peaceful it feels to just… do nothing for a while.
And if you’re into photos? Trust me, every corner looks like a postcard. Whether it’s a group picture by the pond or a solo shot on the bamboo bench, the rustic charm makes every memory worth framing.
Shilbari’r Henshel is built for day trips, not overnight stays. You book your slot in advance, they prepare everything fresh for your group, and you come with nothing but an empty stomach and a happy heart.
Getting there is simple—it’s just off the Dhaka–Mawa Expressway, so within about an hour, you’ll leave behind the chaos of Dhaka and find yourself in this calm little corner of Munshiganj.
Anytime, honestly. But winters here feel magical—pithas, tea, and warm sunlight make mornings unforgettable. In the monsoon, rain tapping on tin roofs while you enjoy hot khichuri adds a charm that words can’t capture.
Because Shilbari’r Henshel isn’t just about food or scenery—it’s about memories.
It’s where families laugh together without checking their phones. Where kids run freely without traffic honking nearby. Where every bite of food reminds you of a home you might have forgotten in the rush of city life.
It’s not a resort. It’s not a restaurant.
It’s a reminder of who we are.
So next time you plan a getaway near Dhaka, skip the malls and noisy picnic spots. Take a trip to Shilbari’r Henshel—and let your heart feel at home again.
