Top 5 Food Vloggers in Bangladesh
Food vlogging in Bangladesh can be considered one of the growing industries in the YouTube sector. In the last 5-6 years, the food industry of Bangladesh has grown the most, thanks to all the food vloggers and reviewers on different social media.
Bengali people have always been considered food lovers since the Mughal and Nawab periods. In the 90s fast food started to get hyped among the youth but back then there were not many restaurants or shops to visit for a quick bite.
Back then they had only a few shops like a Swiss bakery and Hotel Purbani. But, things started to change after 2010 when international chains like KFC, Pizza Hut, and Nandos started to come to Bangladesh and there were also local brands that started to gain popularity like BFC, and Helvetia.
But still, the concept of going out for a fine dinner or a hangout was only limited to Chinese restaurants.
In the span of the last 7-8 years, the food restaurant industry in Bangladesh took a huge turn as a lot of youth entrepreneurs started to invest in this field.
People nowadays just don’t go after food. They want an experience; good food, good ambiance, and value for money.
This is where the food vloggers play the part by showcasing their videos to the audience and attracting them.
A food vlogger does is that they go and explore new restaurants in the town and give proper reviews of the place by uploading videos on different social media, especially YouTube, and by this, they generate money.
Sometimes the food vloggers get invited by the restaurant owners and also get paid to showcase their restaurants to the respective audience this is called a paid review.
In this article, you will get to know about the top 5 food vloggers of Bangladesh that need to be followed if you are a food lover.

Khudalagse
In no 5, we have Faiza from Khudalagse. Fahrin Zannat Faiza aka Khudalagse started her journey as a food blogger on Instagram. This blogger-turned-vlogger is one of the most renowned food critics we have.
Some of you might not agree with her being on 5 but the reason we have put her on 5 is that the others we have on the list are more experienced and have more subscribers.
Faiza started her food vlogging journey in 2019 with the constant help of Sadman Sadi, who handles her channel and does all the behind-the-camera work.
She gained a lot of subscribers within a very short period. What attracts most people to follow her, is her friendly nature and a girl next door kinda vibe and this helps people to relate with her easily.
Faiza mostly reviews restaurants and fine dining but she covers street food as well. Her reviews contain an honest opinion about the food, service, and whether the price is worth it or not. With just 94 videos she gained 632K subscribers and that is great.
She soon can be the best food vlogger if she continues her journey like this. Recently she got married to Sadman Sadi and they have started to travel videos as well. Faiza and Sadi both have their channels as well.
