History
In 1922, Beauty Lacchi and Faluda was established.[2] After the partition of India, Abdul Aziz, who was its founder, moved its temporary shop in 30/1 Johnson Road, Dhaka.[3] After the death of the founder, his son Mohammad Abdul Gaffar became its next proprietor. In 2000, Falooda and five years later some other items were added.[4] After Mohammad Abdul Gaffar, Mohammad Manik Hossain and Jabed Hossain, his two sons, got the ownership of the shop in 2001.[5] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Beauty Lacchi and Faluda was closed on 26 March 2020. It then opened in June but closed again due to lack of customers. It was then reopened around September.[6]
