a place that serves authentic middle eastern cuisine is aazebo. this place serves one of the best mandi in town and after a successful run at hi-tech city, they have opened up a new branch at tolichowki. tolichowli was badly in need of such a place, where there are a lot of mughlai cuisine restaurants, but hardly few mandi places. after doing a lot of homework, they started this place which is perfect. from the ambience to the food, everything is top notch.
this place is located right opposite to pista house and i must say, the way the interior is decorated with hanging colourful lamps and amazing wall art (which reflects the arab culture) makes this place very beautiful.
it's a two storied building where the first floor is common seating and second is for family seating. spacious with sufficient privacy for families to sit and enjoy the food.
apart from regular fine dining, they have a separate carpet seating to sit down on, similar to arab traditional style.
coming to the food items, we started with grilled fish. the fish was so soft that it literally melts in your mouth. along with that, we ordered aazebo special al faham chicken which was quite spicy but very much appealing to the taste buds. perfectly marinated with arabian spices and grilled.
next we ordered non veg platter. oh my! this was the best part. every single thing on this platter was out of the world, but, if i had to, i'd definately pick the mutton sheekh kebab. it was one if the best ones i've had in recent times. hummus and pita are served on the centre of the platter.
now, the main dish, 'mandi'; mutton roos mandi and mutton fry mandi. no doubt that the bold, irresistable flavours of mandi leaves us salivating for more. the quantity is sufficient for two people. (roos mandi is juicier)
after the heavy, fulfilling meal, we were extremely full. yet, we couldn't resist the fruit ka meetha after eyeing it on the menu. we were mesmerized by its taste, simple yet amazing. vanilla cream with cake base, dryfuits and cream. it tastes heavenly. this dessert is very common in muslim weddings but very rare in restaurants. so, when you visit aazebo, don't forget to try this.
and last but not the least, we had saudi fruit champagne. i wish i captured our happy faces of satisfaction the drink gave us. it was very tasty and was the best end our amazing dinner.
