Want to cool off in Old Dhaka? 'Beauty Lacchi' beats the heatwave, one glass at a time

In the heart of Puran Dhaka, where time seems to pause yet everything moves at full speed, there's one place that never loses its rhythm, "Beauty Lacchi".

From early noon to late evening, the narrow alley in front of this iconic spot stays packed with thirsty locals, curious tourists, and generations of loyal regulars.

No matter the season, the demand is constant, glasses of sweet, creamy lacchi sliding across the counter, faster than the hands that serve them. 

These days, with the city gripped by an intense heatwave, the lines seem longer than ever, as people seek relief in every chilled sip.

There's no fancy decor, no marketing gimmick, just decades of flavour and tradition that keep pulling people back. 

The clinking of glasses, the chatter of neighbours, and the occasional laughter of children form a rhythm unique to this alley, echoing the heartbeat of Old Dhaka itself.

Regulars swear by the signature sweetness that never falters, while first-timers marvel at how something so simple can feel like a moment of bliss amid the city's chaos. 

During this scorching summer, even office workers make detours just to grab a glass on their way home, the creamy drink offering both refreshment and a taste of nostalgia.

Beauty Lacchi isn't just a drink shop. It's a living memory of Old Dhaka, where the simplicity of a chilled glass speaks louder than any trend. 

In the sweltering heat, it becomes more than a treat. It's a brief escape from the relentless sun.
