More Than a Cafe.
A Community.
Welqari was founded in 2023 by a group of lifelong gamers and hospitality professionals who shared one obsession: creating a space in Dhaka where you could eat world-class food, drink incredible beverages, and game on hardware that would make any esports pro jealous.
Today, we're proud to be Dhanmondi's most beloved hangout — welcoming thousands of guests every month, hosting weekly tournaments, and constantly expanding our menu with new dishes and seasonal drinks. Welqari isn't just a venue; it's where Dhaka's games culture lives.
