ABEG’s riverfront restaurant concept in Gazipur

The concept · ABEG by Opel Khan

A personal vision

Gazipur, Bangladesh · A new chapter

A sense of home

From this land.
For the world.

“After more than 35 years cooking in Australia and around the world, my craft and training have been shaped by gastronomic French cuisine. Yet something was always missing in my heart and soul: my motherland.

Now I am returning to my roots, to reveal a forgotten Bengali cuisine the world has yet to discover. This is my passion—a 15-course tasting menu, paired with homemade juices, kombucha and tea.”

— Opel Khan

ABEG begins with a place: Opel Khan’s own land in Gazipur, where the landscape meets the river. The restaurant occupies the ground floor, with his private residence above—a destination that is also a home.

The ambition is world-class gastronomy with a distinctly Bengali identity. French precision becomes a way to express, rather than replace, the traditions and memories of Bengal.

ABEG’s reception and woven staircase to the private residence

Three threads. One experience.

01 / Cuisine

Bengali soul

Forgotten Bengali cuisine, expressed through the technical finesse of French gastronomy. A 15-course tasting menu with homemade juice, kombucha and tea pairings.

02 / Craft

An open conversation

Six kitchen islands bring the chefs into view. Precision, preparation and the final moment of plating become part of the dining experience.

03 / Place

The rhythm of the river

Natural stone, dark timber, woven rattan and tropical greenery. Materials that connect the architecture to its riverside setting.

The beginning of something personal

From Bengal. Beyond expectation.

A new gastronomic destination by Opel Khan.
Taking shape on the riverbanks of Gazipur.
