Their food tasted different way. Love with their fried rice. Highly recommended. We took their offer package platter and cream mushroom soup. That was really good.

Sea Food Platter
The price is absurdly high for the food.
Ordered at 8:50 pm...at 9:30 the waiter came and said "unfortunately u have to wait 15 more mins"
At 9:50 we got our chicken stuffed with mushroom but as we started eating we never found the mushrooms.
I asked the waiter what it was, he said it was chicken breast with pineapple 🤣 and the guy who took the order had left so some other guy came and said sorry for him.
but i saw the waiter later 🤣🤣
Poor show. Never going back again lol.

Barcode Cafe offered a mixed dining experience that left us with varied impressions. Our culinary adventure included indulging in the famed fuchka platter and opting for the rice bowl package. While the taste of the fuchka platter met our expectations, the overall experience fell short of the hype surrounding it.
The fuchka platter, undoubtedly the star attraction, showcased an array of flavors and textures. The burst of tangy and spicy sensations with each bite of the crispy shells filled with delectable concoctions left a favorable impression. However, the anticipation built around this dish may have elevated our expectations to a level that reality struggled to match.
On the other hand, the rice bowl package failed to justify its price tag. The dish lacked the finesse and flavor complexity that one would expect for the amount paid. The rice seemed uninspiring, and the accompanying elements failed to elevate the overall dining experience. This disconnect between price and quality left us somewhat disappointed.
Despite our initial excitement about the fuchka platter, we found it essential to acknowledge that its reputation might have been inflated. While enjoyable, it may not be the unparalleled experience some might lead you to believe. Managing expectations is crucial when venturing into the culinary offerings at Barcode Cafe.
The ambiance and service at the cafe were commendable, providing a comfortable setting for our dining experience. The staff were attentive and accommodating, contributing positively to our overall visit.
In conclusion, Barcode Cafe offers a culinary journey with highs and lows. The fuchka platter, while enjoyable, might not live up to the overwhelming hype, and the rice bowl package may leave you questioning its value. It's a place where managing expectations becomes pivotal for a satisfying dining experience.

Fuchka Platter
Barcode cafe is very popular amongst the younger generation. One can have different types of fast food items here at a reasonable price. I especially like their fuska platter which is very popular and nice to eat and look wise. It's a two storied building with a nice ambience. Good place to hangout with friends as well as family.

I tried their Turkish chicken meal, the chicken was well cooked, and the amount was ok. It was not like the traditional bbq or any other flavours, it was quite unique. The Fried rice was staged into a pyramid shape instead of a traditional bowl setup, this was unique. Also with these a Curry of tomato sauce some vegetables and chicken strips were accompanied. This Curry was average, nothing exceptional.
The atmosphere was somewhat ok, not so crowded for a weekend noon, the servers were quite active. But from time to time on the ground floor, they were talking quite loudly. This was disturbing. Overall ok

It's been a while since I last visited Barcode. And I was disappointed upon discovering that they had completely revamped their menu without any accompanying pictures, and there a noticeable increase in prices. Despite this, I decided to order the Turkish Chicken Meal. To my surprise, this dish single-handedly transformed my disappointment into sheer delight. Consisting of a succulent grilled boneless chicken thigh, fried rice where each grain of rice is flawlessly separated, complemented by a rich chicken and sausage gravy, and a side of sautéed vegetables, it offered an exquisite fusion of diverse and delightful flavors. Each bite I savored was a complete delight.

I had visited barcode first in 2013 at Chittagong. I still remember that because their food was very good and I must admit that three things haven’t changed yet. First is their behaviour. They welcome their guests very cordially. Second is the mint lemon which I find very refreshing and third is the mashed potato. There might be other things which I haven't tasted back then or now.
Well they have come a long way from that time, and recently I had dinner here with my friends after a long time.
We had -
Lemon greek grilled chicken meal
Bbq chicken breast meal
Lemon butter chicken meal
Sauteed vegetables were good and mashed potato was very good as I said before. The fried rice was average. Bbq chicken and greek chicken were tasted same with some bbq sauce and lemon coating. This wasn't expected from them. Same with the butter chicken meal as it was just another well cooked fried chicken with nothing special to recall. As I remembered barcode, this is not acceptable. They should revisit their kitchen to regain the bar.
I used to like their pizza sandwich too. Will visit shortly to write how it tastes now.
Recently I tried Lebanese chicken. Here they have leg piece chicken, sauteed vegetable, chicken saucy curry with chicken sausages and fried rice. I liked it except the taste of the fried rice.
Their baked pasta is below average. Try at your own risk.
From October 2023, they are not accepting cards. Their machines are not working. Visited again in november and still the same. Do ask before you order.

Firstly they have increased the price which is not justified at all because their food was a little bit pricey (not that much)
Now come to the quality, the sweet lacchi that we have ordered is cost 200 bdt and for that price the quantity and also you can see the one time mug's quality and also the straw felt like to much cheap, it felt like we are having sweet lacchi in any roadside foodvan...
The honey salad also not justified the upper price.
The main course might be a good one but comparing the price of 680bdt for this mushroom chicken stuffed is way higher in which the inside of chicken was filled with a little cheese and lots of capsicum. I mean who stuffed capsicum inside the chicken...
And the last part is their chair table and the tissue box they provided us felt like really cheap. Their provided tissue is like Roadside van giving us generic tissue of 80taka box that bangla tissue, barcode provided us...
I mean come on, we were 10 people, having our lunch, giving service charge for their this kind of service was not expected... their waiters might be good no doubt but the overall expection was not really up to the mark
related to their price to perfect ratio...
