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
Food was not okay and it was very expensive
Ordered shawarma plate via Uber eats after 12am 10feb2018.within few minutes I got a dish looks like onions and cabbage sorted with some small pieces of boiled chicken top up with 1 table spoon of mayonnaise.most large piece onions are raw enough .also two raw kuboos not even toasted /heatedTo Masafi and mehfil managementIts even better to do *imping or same practice in MasafiSee the fresh onion in picture
Spacious dinning hallExcellent tasteToo many juice optionsNeat and clean Place
The worst food ever had tasted from Kochi..we ordered three chicken shawarma n the chicken inside it was not fresh n had a foul smell...Even after complaining about the food the restaurant manager didnt attend us! One among us started ommiting n the stomach was upset as soon as we reached home!worst food,worst service..! Never opt for this restaurant ever!
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
Had the best pidi and kozhi ..decent place..must visit place
Very worst service. Food is not good. Expansive on so dishes. Taps and fans are not working. I dont prefer this place to no one. Limited staffs is the main problem.
Its located near Pipeline signal, so youll have to brave the traffic to reach the place. Parking space is a constraint.The food is good and reasonably priced.The service and ambiance is okay.
Good food good atmosphere spacious and normal cost
Bad experience and totally disappointed.Food serving is too delay and substandard serving .Food is good but it contains less quantity.serving is too pathetic.Never recommend this hotel to anyone.
I had an awesome experience with this hotel.Its having an nice ambience and the food tastes very good. I would prefer this restaurant to all my friends.
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.
I love going to this place. The ambience is really nice and have a wide range of menu. The menu is slightly expensive but have great taste and good feedback. I love the team there too.
A great place to have arabian dishes. Neat and tidy place. Food is Tasty and delicious and fresh. Customer satisfaction is good. Both air conditioner and non a/c place is available. Affordable prices.
Good restaurant. One of my favourite
Very good quality food... pleasing service.. would come back anytime & recommend the restaurant for family or couples..
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!!!!
The worst experience ever on online order on swiggy. Old and poor quality food. Placed order for chicken mandi and got old mandi rice with chicken pieces from chicken curry that too old and smelling.. Never ever recommended for anyone.. stay away from this restaurant and save you health...
It has a decent service. But, the price is too high on some of the items. Didnt feel like they are worth the price.
Hotel is neet and clean especially the ambiance is so quiet. but they can prepare good quality food as that ambiance. Please make sure food quality.
Very good place. Good food. Verities of dishes. Good place for family. Better place for lunch and all type nonveg Arabian dishes
Good food and Service..... but the rate is much greater than other restaurants... quantity and quality may satisfied
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....
Worst! I ordered garlic chicken on uber eats. I got bones deep fried in batter. Leftovers?? I ordered because it was good when I went to the restaurant.Someone should complain.Cheating. Shut the damn thing if u are serving waste for customers. 😡😡
It has lost its charm. In our last visit last week, we were alone and that made it a scary experience. Food has also lost its quality.
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.....
Place is nice and there is no goods hotels around . They are ready to make our favorite fish dishes live . Over all neatness and service is good . I had lunch from there and it was really nice
A very good and tasty restaurant🍴 with good ambience. The hospitality and live fish curry is awesome. On the whole it is a gud place for family and friends.. Thank you Mahfil!!
That is something great restaurant good atmosphete great place for arabian dishes you can park car easily.Friendly people
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.
We ordered chicken biriyani and veg meals. Chicken biriyani was not tasty at all. Ceylon biryani way better just for comparison. Veg meals was ok. Ambience was good. Wait for the food was very high
Good place for dining with family.Good ambience.Delicious food
Good food Good Ambiance Good people quality restaurant taste is delicious
Nice location clean environment. Visit here with my family. Enjoyed
Ordered chicken fried rice and kuzhimandhiChicken fried rice... Not upto the quality... Chicken is not so good and also low quantity... And lots of oil... Not upto the price based on quality of the food.Kuzhimandhi... Can only say its ok... Need some more improvement on the chicken u guys use....Quality is not upto the price...
Ambiance is good. Food quality is below average. Service personnel was good and food was served without any delays. Nothing much special to speak about.
Atmosphere and service is at the best. Need to improve more care in parcel foods.food quality is Ok
Hotel Mahfil doesnt even deserve a 1 star. Chicken and Beaf was old stock. Beaf was atleast more than 2 days old
Quality of food 2/5Service 1/5Ambiance 4/5I dont recommended for anyone else
Good Food.. worth the money..
The Food is good. But delivery time could be improved
Good service.quality food
Good Food and nice ambience for a family and friends get together
The best mix Kabab i’ve never taste in kochi.
Awesome Kanda chicken biriyani. I never tried before like this food
Quality was not up to the expected level ..took too much time to get the dish and I ordered chilly chicken and fried rice..though the rice was Okay chilly chicken was very spicy and i doubt chicken was fresh...
Taste was ok. But its good for family
I love this place for its naan shawarma thats my favourite there also had couple of other food those too seems good.Kuzhimanthi was little odd to what i had from out.
Food is tasty. Last time I had their shawarma. It was a different one. They are using romali rotti instead of kubboos. That was really nice. You can enter with your family. It is a good family restaurant. Service is also good.
Food is quite good if you visit there. I order food once and didnt like it.
Good food.. variety of foods displayed where you can select. There was a delay in getting parcel. Food is a little spicy eventhough good.
The service even after closing time was excellent. And the food was tasty and satisfying.
Nice ambience and good serviceMandi is not bad
I am not a regular visitor but i have visited few times, taste is good, ambiance is also good.The waiting time is a bit too much and annoying.
More than the taste of food its a calm place to dine in
Good gourmet Dishas, like Chicken dosa, chutneys, whose amplitude is high.
Food was not as good as expected. Biriyani we ordered was not upto the mark..And curry was also full of sause..Can be a lot better.
Very nice ambience the food was very tasty and the service was awesome
Food was good nice ambience. ...good one for family
Real good food very well priced...
Bit overpriced, service was nice and waiters are courteous. Taste is ok but not much yummy. Lot of space for seating. Ambiance is good. Verity of Malabar delicacies were displayed in their counter. We had al fahm which was not much tasty. Biriyani was ok.
Neat and clean but please update on customer interaction
I used to love their big roll shawarmas.. one of the best.. now its gone..
Quality food and reasonably priced. Staff could improve a little with regards to consistency of service.
Had to wait a long time. And at last when seat availability was there they shifted us to near by space which is under renovations. Very bad experience there as the staffs attitude were very bad and again had to wait along time for the food.I had a good rapo with the food available here and its gone just due to the bad service.
Good food and servicesHaving a nice ambience
Good and tasty food....quite high rate and less quantity
Serving Good food. And services are also good.
