Catering services in Banani: prices, minimums, and how to choose
Banani runs on two kinds of orders. Offices on Kamal Ataturk Avenue book meeting lunches and client programs. Households in Banani and Banani DOHS book dawats. Alpha serves both from the same central kitchen in Cantonment, a short run away, with prices published before the first call. The kitchen’s daily work is running bank cafeterias, so an evening for 40 guests is a routine day, not a stretch.
