A restaurant that specializes in Arab cuisine and has a menu filled with all the familiar Arabian dishes. I tried the Kuzhimanthi, which was quite good. The rice lacked flavor, though. The chicken was well marinated, not overly coated in Arab spices, but just enough. It also came with mayo and spice sauce side dishes. Overall a good resto, but is it worth the premium price? 🤷‍♂️

Tastey food & nice ambiance. I tried their wheat paratha with Paneer Butter Masala, as I love this combination where ever I get a try. Even though paneer pieces were a few, the dish was delicious and delivered quite well. The one thing what I felt to be improved is greeting & treating of customers. Staffs are not well trained to take care of the customers.

A mix of North Kerala dishes and Arabic food,Clean restaurant with good ambIence, Has juice counter as well, pre cooked food Is served there is always a chance to comprises the quality and reasonably priced.Hospitality is not up to the mark,very small parking lay out, Service is slow, they give importance to the online customers, and appreciate the services of the parking security overall average restaurant in Highway.

Once mahfil used to be one of the finest restaurants in Kochi but now a days its not even close to the place it used to be. First of all the food is not fresh in most cases. We had ordered a shawarma and foul smell was comming and when we reported they said its due to mayonise and then the porota was like reheated and given. Last week when we visited they gave us beef curry instead of beef fry and told its a new recipe. We could find a lot of cockroaches below the glass which clearly show they are not concerned about hygiene anymore. Avoid visiting

It is an average hotel. Very near to the main highway. They have very less parking space. The food quality is average. The hotel ambiance is very good. Not crowded. You can easily find this hotel even in heavy traffic.

Good food and really nice servies...felt that waiting time is little bit longer..but the taste of food is really awesome.we ordered chicken briyiani and scheswan fries rice.. really the taste was great and the pricing was good too. It a fully air-conditioned hall...and a refreshing frangrence should make us so more fresh and positive... ...i forgot the name of the dish but felt that it was really good and healthy . The peas in the noodle was good and tender... The chicken pices are really juicy and lips smacking.. i recommend familys to visit here .. and shold be a goood place to be in

The worst food we ever had.Manthi was very bad. Waste of moneyAl - fahm too its just like a roasted chicken . I even got a mosquito from the food. Limited staffs too... Its one of their main problem. If there was an option to rate below one star I will surely prefer that cause Ive never had this much worst experience. I wouldnt recommend anyone to this restaurant.

Manthi was wast of money too bad manthi ,no quandity, over price ,no flavour, its like a tamilnadu chicken beriyani. If any one who is working in that hotel who is seeing my review...u just go and have a manthi from Al- reem. I dont preffer any one to this hotel

Worst food if you order a parcel. Porrotta was stale and probably a day old. It was really dry and cracked. Paneer was also not good. Warm on the outside but icy cold in the inside. Chicken was okay but not great. This is public cheating and certainly, they dont care about health and safety.

Non veg food is good but veg is not up to the Mark. Service is very bad, thats why I reduced rating. Before completing the order, waiter vanished.. we were around 17 person, 15 got juice in juice glass and two got in disposable glass, which is also not fair.

Review №41

We were alone in the whole restaurant even though we went there at time one will expect a reasonable crowd. That was a bit scary. Ambience was not bad, and they had enough items on the menu. Service was swift, and the waiters were courteous. I did not like the chicken biriyani though. Didnt taste that good. Apart from that things were fine.

Nice place for family dining. Comfortable seating arrangements. You have a good choice of various options in the menu. The staff will guide you on the different ethnic names in the menu. Food is tasty also, served hot. Reasonably high in price. There is also a party area suitable for family get together etc.Malabar snacks are available in abundance!!!!

Review №53

Please please please read this review if you value your health....Stay away from this place. They have no concern for the quality of the food they serve.The food I got was not fresh and old and had bad smell and we suffered from vomiting and food poisoning after tasting the small amount of food. On checking further the chicken was found to be rotten (not an exaggeration, we could see patches of rotten meat, and had rotten smell, I regret not taking a photo as proof). It shouldnt even be called food in the first place. The management is not concerned about any food safety or hygeine whatsoever.Whatever the ambience, decor and furnishings maybe, the primary purpose of a restaurant is to serve quality fresh food. They fail at this miserably. When you pay your hard earned money, expecting quality food, and is served toxic waste instead, that is quite depressing. There is a basic ethics and safety standards to be maintained when you are serving food to anyone, which this restaurant fails to do. I dont know how they keep on functioning even after this plain and outrageous violation of health and safety standards and recommendations.There are roadside shops and small street food vendors that are way better than this restaurant and gives you way better food at far cheaper prices.And even after reading this entire review, if you want to try your luck please do so at your own risk. Very very very bad and pathetic experience. Dont even deserve a single star....

Horrible experience, no one to greet us, We waited for more than half n hour for clean our table.... No one mind us, ... Even though seat were available they shifted us to their nearest restaurant..just remind u guys that Once seated, it should take no more than 2 to 3 minutes before a server acknowledges youHope u guys understand the situation v gone through.....

I always appreciate preparing food after confirming the order and where ever pre cooked food is served there is always a chance to compromise the quality. Here I find food cooked and displayed which is not the right way of serving food . Minimum parking facility is there. Clean and hygienic atmosphere. Good service.
