What began in 2012 as a small food-cart venture by three friends has grown into Khana’s, a familiar fast-food brand with outlets in Dhaka and other locations.
Khana’s traces its beginnings to a friendship formed between three colleagues—Ehsan Ahmed, Redwanur Rahman and Shahin Mahmud—while working at Bashundhara Group in 2012. Their professional relationship eventually led them to explore an opportunity of their own in the food business.
The three friends started with a simple idea: to make quality food available to customers at affordable prices. To turn that idea into reality, they converted a van into a food cart and began operating the business on a small scale.
The concept gradually gained attention, particularly among young customers. As the customer base grew, the founders began expanding the business beyond its initial food-cart model.
Khana’s later opened outlets in Dhaka and other locations, gradually building its presence in the local fast-food market. The brand’s journey from a single food cart to a growing outlet-based business reflects the founders’ gradual approach to building a consumer-facing food venture.
Today, Khana’s is recognized as a familiar name in Bangladesh’s fast-food scene. Its story began with three friends, a food cart and an idea to make affordable food more accessible to customers.
