Before 1971, hotels in Bangladesh were common, but after 1971 many changed their names to restaurants. By 1990, most Bangladeshis frequented restaurants, which had become popular. Dhaka has many popular restaurants, especially in areas like Dhanmondi, Gulshan, and Baridhara. Other cities in Bangladesh also have popular restaurants. For security after a terrorist attack in Dhaka, restaurants now emphasize having strong security systems.
