GFC Menu Highlights
Grilled Chicken Wraps
The grilled chicken wrap is GFC’s signature item. Marinated chicken breast is grilled to perfection, then wrapped in a whole-grain tortilla with fresh lettuce, ripe tomato, and a light yogurt-based dressing. The result is a protein-packed meal that is both filling and balanced — roughly 450 calories with over 30g of protein. Priced at around ৳380, it is one of the best value meals in Banani.
Veggie Burgers
GFC’s house-made veggie burger is a standout. A vegetable patty made from lentils, chickpeas, and fresh herbs is served on a toasted whole-grain bun with lettuce, tomato, pickled onions, and a smoky chipotle mayo. It proves that plant-based options can be every bit as satisfying as their meat counterparts. At ৳350, it is a filling, flavorful choice for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.
Seasonal Salads
GFC offers rotating seasonal salads featuring the freshest local produce. These are not side salads — they are complete meals with protein options like grilled chicken, paneer, or boiled eggs. Recent offerings have included a roasted beet and feta salad, a mango-chili chicken salad, and a classic Caesar with house-made croutons. Salads range from ৳300 to ৳450.
Loaded Fries and Sides
No gourmet fast food experience is complete without great sides. GFC offers loaded fries topped with cheese, jalapeños, and a drizzle of sriracha, as well as sweet potato fries, onion rings, and coleslaw. These sides pair perfectly with any main and are priced between ৳150 and ৳250.
Beverages and Drinks
GFC rounds out the menu with fresh lemonades, iced teas, and seasonal fruit drinks. The mango lassi and iced Americano are popular choices during the lunch rush. All beverages are made fresh daily — no syrups or pre-mixed concentrates. Drink prices range from ৳120 to ৳250.
The GFC Difference
What sets GFC apart from typical fast-food chains in Dhaka is its commitment to better ingredients. Whole-grain buns replace refined white flour. Lean proteins replace processed meat products. Fresh vegetables replace pickled or preserved toppings. Every item is prepared fresh to order — nothing sits under a heat lamp.
GFC also pays attention to details that matter: sauces are made in-house, bread is sourced from quality bakeries, and the kitchen follows strict food safety standards. This is fast food designed for people who care about what they eat.
How GFC Compares to Regular Fast Food
The difference between GFC and a typical Dhaka fast-food chain comes down to three things: ingredients, preparation, and transparency. GFC lists calorie counts and protein content on its menu. It uses whole grains instead of refined flour. Chicken is grilled, not deep-fried. Sauces are made in-house daily rather than poured from industrial containers. The price difference is minimal — most GFC items cost ৳250 to ৳500 — but the quality gap is significant. For anyone who has been disappointed by fast food that looks good in photos but tastes mediocre, GFC is a refreshing alternative.
