Al Arabi - Saroornagar

It was a long pending visit to the Barkas and we could finally complete it yesterday. This area is pretty close to airport. We ordered the mutton mandi and it was pretty good. The rice was very nicely cooked and flavored. There were 3 mutton pieces . Good portion size. Liked the food along with the tomato gravy. <br/ <br/ Food: very tasty. Definitely unique flavored and different from what we eat around hitech city <br/ Ambience : it’s average. Really not recommended if you are a stickler to cleanliness. But if you are a foodie. It’s a one time visit . Also this place is open till 5 am itseems.<br/ Price: is decent. Not high not low. Rs 500 for a 3 piece mutton mandi. Additional 3 pieces will cost you 400 bucks. <br/ <br/ I would recommend this place if you are going towards old city or airport. But it’s not worth just going for the food if Incase you live in the IT side of the city .

Reaching out the place is a little difficult due to uneven roads but the place is awesome, it's a huge place and about the Mandi there , I liked it very much and also the service is quite fast. It's a good place to go with a group. It's a must try mandi joint in Hyderabad..

Mutton Mandi here is a must must try. Well cooked soft and juicy mutton is phenomenol. Matkha kheer is an add on.The mutton serving alone pushed me to give 5stars.They could do much better regarding rice.

This place is an actual hidden gem of Hyderabad. After having Mandi in the first place I decided to head here for some authentic Arabic food. You guys must believe me when I say, Mataam Al Arabi’s food tastes closest to the authentic Arabic food you’ll find in Hyderabad. <br/ <br/ Mutton Mandi : Usually in all the other mandis you’ll see them Indianizing the food but this place doesn’t. They don’t even give you mayonnaise. If you still want some, you’ll have to take that extra. Here it’s served with Tomato chutney which adds a lot to the taste. I still can’t forget the moment I received my mandi. I was flattered by the smell of the food. I got 3 huge pieces of Mutton but me being me ordered an extra piece of Fish. <br/ <br/ Fish : The softest probably I have had in Hyderabad. It smells soo good. It tastes soo good. It looks soo good. I don’t what more to say. <br/ <br/ Jump in here preferably in the night to enjoy the feel. That’s when it’s crowded and most happening.

I have always been here in late nights and their food never disappointed. During the nights the building looks so dark from outside it looks like it is closed but once we enter here, the place is fully crowded. The restaurant has three floors and all the seats are preoccupied even at 2am.<br/
