aazebo

i was missing the asli hyderabadi experience for soo long. there are 2 places not to be missed if you come to hyderabad for authentic hyderabadi experience, charminar area and tolichowki! got a special invite from zubair and i reachedaazeboat tolichowki.

the ambience is just like any mandi place, we have to sit on the carpeted floors and eat on the huge plates. they have two levels and offer privacy to family and groups alike. the place was almost packed and that’s positive sign for a just opened restaurant.

started off with grilled fish which was very soft & succulent. the spicy creamy chicken was the highlight in the next dish,aazebochicken faham. you will lick your hands and enjoy the spiciness if you are a spice lover.

the non veg platter was a great deal as it was a huge platter with lots of dishes. you get seekh kebab, prawns, grilled fish, grilled chicken and barbecue chicken all in ₹1300. as each dish individually can cost ₹400 this was a great deal, more over you won’t get seekh kebab and grilled prawns in ala carte option as it’s exclusive for platter.

mandi’s surprised me not because it was good, it tasted the best! rains and late night mandi’s has some connection as we truly enjoyed juicy mutton mandi & mutton roos mandi. there was fried mutton mandi too and the meat was brilliantly cooked in all 3. though my personal favourite is juicy mutton mandi for sure.

now let’s take the one and only dessert you won’t get in any restaurant. it’s called fruit ka meetha which is a common dessert in true muslim weddings. ingredients as dry fruits, litchis, cut fruits, vanilla icecream and a soft bread cake. it was a huge plate good enough for 5-6 people at just ₹400!! what a dish!

truly amazing experience ataazebothe royal arabian restaurant. a must visit place for anyone who missed hyderabadi food like me. take your gang and enjoy.

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 orderedaazebospecial 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.

hyderabad city has embraced many cuisines and culture since a very long time but arabic cuisine has a big impact on the people food eating style. arabic cuisine not only got great food but also brought families and friends together.aazebois one of my family favourite place for mandi it's all started from madhapur outlet though the place was quite far it was worth it. but from now we don't have to travel so much asaazebohas started a new outlet in tolichowki which is quite near to my place.

aazebo has brought great flavours and authenticity in the food that can be seen as they got a huge line up of customers waiting outside to dine in. in tolichowkiaazebohas got the entire building and divided the restaurant into two sections. the first floor is for regular customers and the second floor is for the family section. in the second floor, they got floor seating like arabic style and a couple of table chairs dine-in. the floor seating area is separated from the wooden walls for family privacy. the interior was good that gives you uae vibes and wall art to adore.

food- let's talk about it:

mutton bone soup: so we started with hot soup as the climate demands something hot and delicious and this soup has nailed it with all the flavours and delivered it.

grilled fish: the next item was grilled fish-man those fish chunks we're amazing as soon as you keep it in your mouth it starts melting. the fish was well marinade with the condiments that gave a wonderful texture and flavour. the fish was perfectly cooked with a lite charred flavour on the top.

non-veg platter: a big plate consists of multiple kebabs options available and we got bbq chicken, grilled prawns, fried fish, grilled chicken and seekh kebab. from this platter, all the items were really good one a but the star was the only item that was seekh kebab. it was out standing dish which not only tasted amazing but melts in mouth. note all the items are sold separately but grilled prawns and seekh kebab is only available in platter.

mandi: you cannot doubt on this place about there mandi as it's one of the best places that serves amazing and delicious mandi. we tried our hands on three different types of mandi started with mutton roos mandi the taste was tremendous and the mutton chunks were well cooked with spices and the red tangy gravy on the top has enhanced the flavors. then we had mutton fry and juicy mutton mandi the fry mutton mandi was as delicious as other too as the mutton piece was fried to perfect but didn't got a crispy texture that was really good. and mutton juicy mandi as usual the flavor bomb it never goes wrong when ever you order it.

dessert:
fruit ka meetha this is something unusual to get it in a restaurant as it's one of famous dessert that you will only see it at any muslim weddings.

@aazebo as such has a big fan following at its madhapur outlet to serve consistently delicious mandi and bringing in new varieties in the same to appeal to the masses. they have now opened up another bigger and more massive 2-floor outlet bang opposite to pista house in tolichowki (next to shehzaade restaurant).

1st floor for common seating and 2nd floor for family seating made available and quite spacious. the decor is so vibrant and definitely working in tolichowki mood and adds the arabian touch in every nook and corner.

coming to the food, we had #aazebochickenfaham and #grilledfish - both were spectacular with the chicken faham being creamy and good spice levels while the grilled fish just melted in your mouth (have it to believe it)

the show stopper was the non-veg platter. coming at 1300 inr feels costly but looking at the 5 varieties you get (seekh kebab, grilled fish, grilled chicken, bbq chicken, grilled prawns), i feel the pricing is justified. the seekh kebab having the perfect smokiness, perfect char and the rich and bold spice flavors was out of this world. truly classic and must try.

how can we miss mandi here, we tried their mutton roos mandi and mutton fry/juicy marag mandi (customized for us) and both were as usually superb. nice flavors and apt meat portions, super thick mayo everything just works.

for desserts, we had the chance to try a true muslim wedding classic which is not found in any restaurant in hyderabad, isaazebofruit ka meetha also known as sunrise pudding. a classic bread dessert laid over a heap of cream and dry fruits, fruits and then a whole cube of ice cream. looks simple but the combination is so soul-filling and works brilliantly. if you are tasting it for the first time, it looks so simple but flavors will definitely get to you. costing 400 its definitely a 3-4 person shared as one can't even imagine attacking this.

with service being apt and prompt, i would sayaazebothe royal arabian restaurant has re-created the satisfactory dining experience in this new outlet as well which shines and dazzles more attractive in tolichowki area.

one more reaons to go to tolichowki
