Kacchi Bhai is a prominent Bangladeshi restaurant chain specializing in traditional kacchi biryani. Founded by Sohel Siraj, the establishment has gained widespread popularity for its flavorful dishes and has expanded to multiple locations across the country.
🏁 Founding and Early Days
The inception of Kacchi Bhai was driven by Sohel Siraj’s aspiration for independence and entrepreneurship. He launched the first branch at Bashundhara Gate in Dhaka. Despite initial challenges, such as inadequate electricity leading to the absence of air conditioning, the restaurant attracted numerous customers who braved the heat to enjoy the biryani. This early success laid the foundation for the brand’s growth.
The name “Kacchi Bhai” combines the dish’s name, “kacchi,” with “bhai,” a term of camaraderie, reflecting both the cuisine and a friendly brand image. Over time, the business expanded, employing around 400 individuals, which Sohel regards as a significant personal achievement .kacchibhai.com
