Hitting the Bull’s eye, one burger at a time

Stepping into the modestly sized Bull’s, the one thought that kept circling in my head was why on earth does Dhaka need another burger joint? Especially in Lalmatia, where within a single kilometre you can practically trip over a dozen burger spots.
“Well, for starters, we don’t drown our burgers in sauces,” joked Khalid Rahman, the owner of Bull’s. Now, in a city where most restaurants seem to treat burgers like sacrificial offerings to the Niagara Falls Sauce Factory, that small promise already felt like a reason not to give up hope. With that, I decided to see if Bull’s could actually stand out on the crowded burger battlefield.
Long story short—yes, Bull’s can stand out, and it does so by doing the one thing most places forget— not overdoing it. The menu is refreshingly straightforward, just a small lineup of burgers. The menu doesn’t read like a never-ending novel of burger options; instead, it offers a neat handful of choices.
And the fun of it is that each burger isn’t just different for the sake of being different—each one has its own personality, its own little quirk in the recipe, something that makes it stand out without shouting for attention.
At Bull’s, you get to choose your style—smashed or smokey grilled—and the price stays the same for either type and you also have the option to go double-patty if you’re feeling like it.
They’ve also got a few chicken burger options on the menu, but I’ll be honest, we didn’t bother. Call me stubborn, call me a purist, but to me, burgers are meant to be beef. Go ahead, sue me—I’ll take my chances in burger court.
Bull’s Original
It’s the quintessential burger, the flagship burger of any joint—the classic cheeseburger, if you will. Think of it as the litmus test— if they nail this, you can safely bet the rest of the lineup holds its ground. It’s a straightforward affair—a single patty with cheese, pickles, and lettuce tucked into a brioche bun. No theatrics, no sauce waterfall, just pure simplicity doing its job. And trust me, you won’t walk away thinking your time or money was wasted on this one.
