A Must taste historical Chittagonian Mejjani (Mezban) Platter In Chattogram !

What is actually Mejjan or Mezban is ?

Mejjan is a local Chittagonian term obtained from Persian word Mezban. Which means " “Guest Ity " or mass feast. It is a big and blessed social unique food culture of Chittagongonia People.

With white plain rice, three or four types of curries are served as Mejjani Food, eg beef, ‘nawla kaanji’, and ‘kaloi’ or chick-pea pulse. It has a historical characteristic cooking style; for example, (1) spicy meat cooked with lot of local red chillies; (2) less hot but sour and spicy broth made from tubular bone of cow, which is known as nawla kaanji; (3) a kind of black gram which is cooked after peeling the skin of beans and then crushing them; it is called Ghuna Dal; cooked with half cut full onion (d) food of slightly pungent taste made from chick-pea pulse, bone, fat and meat.

Previously it was only maintained culture by Chittagonian Generation but now a days throughout the country people lovin it and having it.

In Chittagong I found the hotel named "Mijjainna Bari "and “Mejjan Khaili Aayun” serves almost the best dishes of Mezban. The environment is pleasant to have Mejjan clamly.

"Mejjainna Bari “It is situated just behind of Chittagong Shopping Complex in Chittagong City and " Mejjan Khaili Aayun” is located back sides of Chittagong Medical College.

Mejbani Platter for one person will cost you only BDTK 260/- (Appr. 3 USD)

Besides above two restaurants some other restaurants also offer Mejbani Food twice a week all over the city.

At Ramadan Time of Muslims ( Fasting Time) “Mejbani Ghost” is widely found in many hotel & restaurants.

Also In some hotel you will enjoy not only taste of Mezban but you will see some ancient slogan of Chatgaiya Generation and also will found to see some Mejjan related unique word which has been spoken by Chatgaiiya Generation.

I hope you will enjoy the best Mezbani Dishes of Chittagong :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

It is situated just behind of Chittagong Shopping Complex in Chittagong.

I suggest MEJJAINNA BARI মেজ্জাইন্নাবাড়ি because the real taste of Mejjan you will find there I hope.

Not only taste of Mejban but you will see some ancient slogan of Chatgaiya Generation and also some Mejjan related unique word which has been spoken by Chatgaiiya Generation.

The place is suitable for family and friends, children and couple too.
