ICCB Heritage Restaurant Comes Alive with Nostalgic Hits from the 1990s

Melodies of popular Hindi songs from the 1990s, traditional Mughlai cuisine, and a regal ambience came together for a nostalgic evening at ICCB Heritage Restaurant in the capital. The venue hosted a special edition of its ‘Grand Musical Night’ series, titled ‘Edition: 90s Hindi Songs’.

Located beside the 300 Feet Road near Kuril Bishwaroad in Dhaka, the restaurant welcomed guests from the evening for an event that offered a distinctive atmosphere away from the city's usual hustle and bustle. Soft lighting, traditional décor, the aroma of Mughlai dishes, and familiar Hindi melodies combined to create an evening steeped in nostalgia.

The musical programme ran from 7 pm to midnight, featuring popular and evergreen Hindi songs from the 1990s performed by singers Siddiqui Lonic and Panna. As familiar tunes filled the venue, many guests joined in, humming along with the performers. The evening gradually turned into an informal gathering of music, conversation, and dining.

Traditional Mughlai cuisine was another major attraction of the event. A selection of dishes prepared following traditional recipes and cooking techniques offered guests a taste of the region's rich culinary heritage.

The presentation added to the experience. Staff dressed in Mughal-inspired attire, alongside the restaurant's heritage-themed interior, created the atmosphere of a royal feast. The combination of live music, traditional food and distinctive décor gave the evening a character beyond that of an ordinary dining experience.

According to the organisers, each edition of the ‘Grand Musical Night’ will feature a different genre of music. The Friday events are being planned around varied musical themes to offer guests a fresh experience at every gathering.

The upcoming schedule includes Nazrul Geeti on November 20, timeless Bengali songs on November 27, piano and vocal performances on December 4, classical instrumental music on December 11, and folk music on December 18.

The organisers hope the series will offer city residents a distinctive blend of entertainment, culture and heritage amid their busy routines. Following the nostalgic journey through 1990s Hindi music, the upcoming editions are expected to introduce audiences to a wider range of musical traditions.
