aazebo

my monthly visit to my favourite restaurant. not saying my favouritearabianrestaurant because aazebo is not exclusive toarabiancuisine anymore. the hyderabadi delicacies they have added to their menu over the years are better than those served at legendary hyderabadi restaurants.

following the slow-n-steady policy, aazebo take their sweet own time in expanding the menu. but whenever they add a new item, it is already at the crest of perfection, leaving no room for feedback on improving it. no wonder within a span of two years, they're ruling the class in tolichowki, a locality that is home to the highest number ofarabianrestaurants in the new city.

mutton margh: simply the best margh you can find in hyderabad and it has just gotten better with the recent addition of saffron.
price: 400 taste: 5/5

fish makhli: a crumb fried fish starter that you find at almost every modern cafe. this one at aazebo is a steal deal because besides being amazing in taste, the portion you get will easily match two portions at other restaurants.
price: 420 taste: 4/5

seekh kebab: not spicy like indian, not so bland like arabian. aazebo's seekh kebab is a balance between spicy and mild. the pure ghee aroma is another value add. however i like my seekh kebab spicy🔥
again, the biggest portion you can find anywhere in hyderabad.
price: 500 taste: 3.5/5

juicy mutton mandi: probably the biggest reason i can't resist visiting this place every few days. the level at which the mutton is cooked, perfect would be an understatement. you have to try it to believe it
price: 480 (full) taste: 5/5

madfoon mutton mandi: madfoon comes from the word dafan which means 'to bury'. mutton is burried in the ground to cook. so you can imagine the level of tenderness and the flavours that sink in. another masterpiece by aazebo.
price: 490 (full) taste: 4.5/5

fruit ka meetha: this is actually fruit trifle, hyderabad style. a brick of vanilla ice cream sits on a slab of sponge cake topped with dry fruits on a bed of custard full of fresh fruits and again dry fruits. i don't even need to describe what it tastes like. let the pictures do the talking!
price: 600 (full) 150 (single) taste: 5/5

ambience - 4/5

it’s a great place to try authenticarabianmandi. the ambience was decent and service was good.
it’s definitely worth the money and experience.

tried the following dishes :
fish maqli - 3.5/5
sheek kabab - 4/5
mutton mandi - 4.5/5
fruit ka meetha - 4/5

bestarabianfood i ever had too tasty yummy, thanks aazebo

middle eastern cuisine is increasingly influencing not just what, but also how we eat. whilst its dishes and tastes are becoming more widespread in the eastern world today, evidence suggests the dawn has already happened. eastern food culture has transformed in the last two decades— driven by factors including globalisation, changing lifestyles, health, wellbeing and sustainability. during this revolution, middle eastern cuisine has grown its presence in non-traditional markets dramatically—bringing rich, authentic dishes considered both flavoursome and healthy, to tables across the world.
hyderabad’s obsession with biryani is well known across the globe, but that's not the only rice and meat medley in the city that is worth raving about. to add up to the list, mandi has become an all-times favorite of many food joints. there are many in the twin neighborhoods who trace their progeny to hadramaut in yemen. and when are talking about mandi, aazebo is place you should be for relishing on this dish in its truest format. to add up to the list of mandi variants, aazebo bring forth razbi laham with mazbi rice. basicaly, in this variant the lamb is slowly grilled & then cooked in special middle east spices with mutton stockto impart the much needed taste. onto the mazbi rice, its flavoured with black pepper corn in addition to the standard ones being utilized for mandi rice. topped with 2-4 big mutton chunks, this entire portion of mandi is something to look out for.
from the salad section,arabiansalad & russian salad isn't to be missed at all,arabianvariant having tomato, onions, cucumber tossed with pomegranate n chips, however russian salad takes the palate a notch up higher with veggies & fruits tossed in a creamy sauce making it more appetizing. aazebo spcl chicken & fish maqli deserve a special mention from the quick bites section owing to the flavourful meat in every morsel.
to wind up, umm ali is a great pick from the sweet section, a dish with roots from egypt which is a bread pudding with nuts & rasins mingled in condensed & normal milk - which is absolutely delicious. lastly, fruit ka meetha is a raving dessert at this place, basically an entire block of vanilla ice-cream placed on a bed of a thin slice of cake with loads and loads of dry fruits & cream; have it to believe it.

though a foreigner, thearabianmandi vanquishes its rivals from the royal banquets in hyderabad. aazebo, is always a safe bet to have mandi. what aazebo brings to the table for mandi lovers is quality and authenticity. they make their mandi super traditional and serve it with a bunch of sides.this particular place is pretty famous here in hyderabad as they have never compromised with their taste and quality. the ambiance will give you the perfectarabianvibe, from thearabiancustom of seating on the floor with cushions and carpets and relishing the food till adequate lighting and interior to make the look and feel of the place perfect.
one will be greeted with an 'on the house' starter soup which is delish!
russian salad :: this is a creamy salad made out of finely cut boiled vegetables and some fruits mixed with mayonnaise!
arabic salad :: this authentic arabic salad is made with well-seasoned fried pita bread, seasonal vegetables and feta cheese
laham sheekh kebab :: prepared with minced mutton, onions and a blend of spices, this will blow your mind with extraordinary flavors, juicy minced mutton that melts away in your mouth.
fish maqli :: this arabic fish fry , made out of basa fish was an absolute delight, being crispy on the outside and soft juicy in the inside.
golden fried prawns:: among all the dishes, this deserves a special mention. it is a simple yet very luscious dish made with prawns marinated in a very simple battered paste and deep-fried until golden in color.
razbi laham with mazbi rice :: all the way from yemen,the difference between mazbi and mandi is that the meat in mazbi is grilled and not baked like it’s done for mandi and the rice is soft and more flavorful.
um ali :: this sweet dish is nothing, but an equivalent of bread pudding prepared with puff pastry rolls, milk, vanilla essence, sugar, nuts and raisins. this is for all those who like their desserts with mild sweetness.
fruit ka meetha :: the most loved dessert, that is usually served in hyderabadi dawats. brick of ice cream served over soft sponge cake, which is spread over a whole plate of heavy cream mixed with exotic fruits and dryfuits. an absolute delight!!!

aazebo is one of the finest restaurants when it comes toarabiancuisines in hyderabad. located at tolichowki . and always packed with mandi lovers. their mutton mandi is so juicy and tasty. also available options in non veg like chicken and fish.

the hitech city branch of aazebo is one of my favourite mandi places in town. thearabianmix mandi is an absolute delight. i must have visited them more than 6-7 times and never been disappointed.

on the contrary, my dinner experience at tolichowki branch was exactly opposite. starting from the restaurant being dirty and having cockroaches everywhere to the food in every aspect.

we ordered 2arabianmix mandi's and they replaced it with mutton madfoon. as i know the dish, i questioned them saying this is not the mutton we get inarabianmix mandi and they replied saying the other is not available.

the chicken pieces had a pungent smell. it was surely spoilt. the restaurant got it replaced however the same issue was persistent so we asked them to take the chicken away and replace it with french fries as only that tasted ok.

the uncle who is the owner came and addressed a terrible incident with our order which i would not specify publicly as it can damage the entire reputation of the restaurant.

i hope the management takes strict and immediate actions to improve the hygiene, quality and condition of the tolichowki branch. because one complaint from our end with the photo proof we have can cause a lot of damage to their reputation. currently i am not taking any actions as i sincerely like the food they make (atleast the hitech city branch).

visited aazebo tolichowki last weekend with friends for lunch.

the place really gives a vibe ofarabianculture. with separate cabinates and floor seating, the place looks really vibrant and beautiful.

coming to food. we tasted a lot of dishes, and their specials from the menu.

we started off with marag. it was really good. the mutton was so well cooked that the flesh just fell apart from the bone. next we tried faham chicken. this was fried chicken tossed inarabiansauce. very good in taste. we also tried fish, that was good but lacked some flavours. could be more flavourful. next we tried their special platter, that had different varieties of chicken, mutton seekh and fish. this was really like the one you get in weddings and we really had a good time feasting on it, giggling and laughing.

next we tried their mutton special mandi. it did have flavours but lacked little in taste. the mutton pieces, both the tandoori and juicy one were well cooked, but i felt that the rice could have been little more flavourful.

to end the meal we tried fruit ka meetha and baklava. both were really good. overall an amazing experience.

‘aazebo' opened its second outlet in hyderabad along the busy food streets of tolichowki. serving authenticarabiancuisine in an elegant & spacious restaurant with well-lit interiors, this place has already made chaos amongst food lovers in the city. the place has both table and floor sitting options with separate air conditioned dining areas for family.

we were invited for a food tasting session and the review for the place is as follows:

soups:
the piping hot 'marag-a-aazebo' served with chaukoni naan had succulent cuts of mutton simmered for hours that gave a signature subtle flavour to the broth.

appetisers:
the 'grilled basa fish fry' served alongside hot pita bread and hummus, had melt in the mouth basa fish coated with signature arabic spices and grilled to perfection. the 'azeebo special chicken' had perfectly char grilled chicken tossed in a sweet and tangy sauce was absolutely brilliant. the 'aazebo special mix platter' consisted of succulent mutton seekh kebab, crispy fish fry, spicy chicken wings,juicy chicken tikka and crispy fried chicken served with garlic mayo and hummus which is a must order.

main course:
the 'aazebo special mix mandi' of the yemeni origin had mutton cooked two ways, grilled chicken , fragrant basmati rice with dry fruits and a mixture of various spices that gave the dish its authentic flavours.

desserts:
the 'baklava' had sweet dessert pastries made with layers of filo filled with chopped nuts, sweetened with sugar syrup. the 'basbusa' cake had a citrus scent and flavor completed with a hint of rose aroma. the 'aazebo special fruit ka meetha' had ice cream served over thin slice of cake with loads and loads of dry fruits.

enjoy an authenticarabianfeast this summer with family and friends at 'aazebo'.
.
recommendations:
marag-a-aazebo, aazebo special mix platter, aazebo special mix mandi, aazebo special fruit ka meetha', baklava
.
taste:4/5 , ambience: 5/5 , service:5/5 , price:5/5 , overall 5/5

it is no surprise that aazebo restaurant is highly embraced as being one of the best places for mandi in town by most of us. i personally have been visiting them a lot for their mutton juicy mandi which is execptionally good. upon getting a chance to try their new menu, i visited aazebo, tolichowki branch and was mesmerized by the architectural wonders that give the place a beautiful middle eastern look.
the ambience is well lit and impressive.
soon enough their new menu was introduced to us!

russian salad andarabiansalad were brought in first. both the salads were great, depends on what out of these do you prefer more.
my favorite was russian salad, loved the dressing & the fresh veggies added!
starters:
arabian laham kebab: mutton sheekh kebabs, very different from what we get at rest of the places, packed with authentic flavours, absolutely the star dish of the day (apart from the razbi laham)
fish maqli: crispy fried fish with a delicious crisp on the outside & tender juicy fish on the inside.
prawns: these were loose prawns and tasted delicious.

food at aazebo has never been disappointing, not sure of the other dishes but atleast the mutton juicy mandi as mentioned before! but this time, i found another one to add into my list of favourites from aazebo and that would be razbi laham with mazbi rice, a famous middle eastern mandi styled dish.
as the name says, this one was served with razbi laham (mutton), the pieces were amazingly succulent and absolutely delicious.
the rice served on the plate is good enough for 3-4 people, they do have options though: full and special mazbi. hence, depending upon the number of people, one could make a choice.
razbi laham with mazbi rice is launched only at the tolichowki branch for now, this would be introduced in madhapur soon.

for desserts, umm ali and fruit ka meetha were served.
umm ali is an appetizing egyptian/arabic pudding and is totally worth a try!
fruit ka meetha is a well known dessert and is loved by hyderabadis. the dessert is loaded with nuts, fruits, dried fruits and icecream. if you are a group of 4-6, one dessert would suffice!

let's attack. fan of mandi? then why a second thought. straight away head to @aazebo_official tolichowki branch

in the frame:
1. al faham chicken mandi is a special mandi served here with tender and juicy chicken and rice with a special blend of spices.
rating 4.5/5

2. aazebo special mix platter which consists of basa fried fish 5/5, fried chicken 4/5, chicken barbecue tikka 3/5, fried chicken wings 5/5, mutton sheek kebab 2/5

also tried rabdi which is a bit froozen and tasted average. rating 2/5

on requesting management considered our request and replaced mutton with fish as mutton was not properly cooked. thanks for their support.

ambience is really good and pleasant with botharabianstyle of seating and regular seating. good place to come and enjoy with your family

have i landed in anarabiannights place? the lamps reflecting various colors,walls painted with arab nomads and the way they led there life,carpets all over with perfect seating and much more obviously made me thought i have come to somearabianplace.however, its the recently opened outlet right opposite to the famous yousuf tekri situated in the famous arab influenced place tolichowki in hyderabad.

as previously mentioned the ambience says it all,the restaurant got two floors first floor for single section and the second one for families.both the floors are largely occupied with the ground seating area with separate compartments and less by the table dining,so its both ways.

moving on to food,we were welcomed with a delicious mutton soup which was light on the palate yet tasted spectacular. after a long gossip session we had starters coming over,to begin with

syrian grilled fish with hummus

generous chunks of boneless fish grilled well with the deep red color served with the side of hummus was wonderful as fish was melting in the mouth and hummus was going great with it.

aazebo special chicken faham with pita bread

who doesn't like tandoori chicken? i just love every bit of it and here at aazebo they have just changed the game by giving a rocking scrumptious twist to it by covering it in a special blend of sauce with mayonnaise and spices and trust me its worth very penny.its a burst of different flavors popping in your mouth one after the other like spicy,tangy and little sweet.

arabian mix grill platter

oh my my!! a hyderabadi wedding is what i recalled when first saw this beauty.humongous platter loaded with fish fry,tikka,seekh kebab,chicken wings,boneless crispy fry chicken and last but not the least hummus.first of all its a delight for the eyes to look at this divine platter,as its an avalanche of various non veg appetizers.all the items on this platter won my heart and is a must try for all.its priced at 1300 bucks and its quite a deal and you will ultimately cherish it.

aazebo special mix mandi

mutton fry,chicken faham, mutton juicy,mutton roos were the specials that we got in the humungous plate of mandi which was amazing with mild spices,not overpowering flavors,very subtle but still boosting with truearabianessence.

-mutton fry was a chunk of big mutton with bone fried well and a bit crisp.

-chicken faham was a perfect example of an excellent charcoal grilled flavorful chicken.

-mutton juicy was to die for as the succulent and melt in the mouth texture of this meat has just raised the bars.as the meat was falling off the bone as smooth as a butter and the juices of it were telling a heavenly luscious story alltogether.

-mutton roos was fairly good as the cooked mutton was enveloped in a red spicy tomato based sauce which was going well with mandi rice.

hyderabadi fruit ka meetha

this is a in house speciality which is not sold anywhere else except here.its the eminent dessert of hyderabadi weddings.the dessert consists of a solid vanilla ice cream brick thats drenched on a bed of fruits,dry fruits,nuts and cake towards the sides,ahh what a delighful combination!

saudi champagne

how can i forget the best part of the evening,this was something tangy,sweet,light,bursting with all flavors and a brilliant refresher after all the heavy meal.

overall it is a must visit place with wonderfularabianfood and ambience.service is good but will have to wait for a longer time during weekends as they are usually full.

after the successful outlet at madhapur, aazebo has opened its new branch at towlichowki. this time it's spacious, bigger and better. loved the spot of this new branch, exactly opposite to pista house!

it's a 2 floor building, seperate section for families. you have table seating and down seating with private sections, mat flooring. so in terms of ambiance this is way better than the madhapur!

as soon as we settled to the place, we were given the complimentary mutton soup which was very delicious, hot and flavourful. ended up having 2 bowls of it.

aazebo special chicken: grilled chicken tossed in a very sweet and tangy sauce, served with pita breads. soft and tender chicken, sauce was nice flavourful. a must try!

syrian grilled fish: soft and melt in mouth fish, nicely grilled and cooked perfectly. less on salt, served with hummus which was excellent and fresh. fish can slightly be improved.

aazebo special platter: the house speciality and we get this only in towlichowki outlet. this kind of platter you get to see in hyderabadi muslim weddings, served as a starter with 4-5 varities of appetizers. it's a huge plate where you get all appetizers at one serving. .

seekh kebab, fish fry, chicken wings, tikka, boneless crispy fry chicken and hummus is what you get here. all the appetizers taste brilliant and flavourful. my most favourite in this was wings, crispy chicken and seekh kebab. hummus was surprisingly too good, usually garlic sauce is served with such good appetizers, this is the first place (maybe) to give hummus. and honestly it the combo of hot appetizers with hummus was somehow decent and good. overall the platter was amazing, do give it a try for sure.

tried the mandi and khabsa, both were brilliant in taste, just like in madhapur outlet. flavour and amazing, khabsa is what i preferred more this time. the meat portions were exquisite! juicy and flavourful!

desserts: double ka meetha, rabdi and aazebo special ice cream ka meetha. all 3 were decent and good!

with the most refreshing drink to end the day,arabianchampagne. made with, spices and fruits!

overall a perfect for friends and families. they're food is value for money, presentation is amazing.

numerous places servingarabianfood are popping up in every nook and corner of the city. aazebo has come up with its second branch in tolichowki.
this place is a two storied restaurant with one section dedicated to men and the other section is the family section.
we started off with marag which is a mutton broth and is complimentary.
then we had grilled fish which was really delicious. the fish was cooked perfectly and served with hummus and pita. really enjoyed the beautifully marinated fish.
aazebo special faham chicken: this was another delight. rich and creamy in taste.
then we had the aazebo mixed platter which consists of chicken, mutton, fish and prawns. every dish had a distinct flavour. this platter is enough for 5-6 people.
mutton mandi: the juicy mutton mandi is something that i enjoyed. the mutton liters fell off the bone. the mandi rice was extremely flavourful and light on the stomach. loved it.
we finished our meal with fruit ka meetha which literally has an entire family pack of vanilla ice cream. can easily be shared by 6-7 people. this dessert is slightly on the sweeter side so if you are okay with that then this is the best for you.
overall we had a lovely time. loved the floor seating with personal compartments.

food: 4.25/5
ambience: 3.5/5
service: 4/5
overall: would rate my experience 4:25/5

aazebo has opened up its second outlet in tolichowki. situated opposite to pista house, it offers two sitting spaces. one for casual dining and one for fine dining. my experience with this outlet was quite good.

starting with my food experience, i tried out their marag soup. marag is a rich, muttin broth which has a really mellow flavour to it. it is a popular hyderabadi delicacy and is a must try.

for appetizers, i had their grilled fish, aazebo special faham chicken and non veg mix platter. this is perhaps the only place where in i like all the appetizers. the aazebo special faham chicken was my personal favourite. the margination was top notch and the chicken was actually the best that i ever had. the another thing which i liked was their crispy chicken. it is indeed a must try.

for mains, i had their aazebo special mutton mandi. the mandi consisted of juicy mutton and mutton roos on a bed of fragrant, rich rice which was full of nuts. the mutton was super tender and the portion size was also enough for me and my pals.

to end things on a sweet note, i had tried out their fruit ka meetha. it comprised of fresh slice of plum cake which was topped with whole brick of vanilla ice cream. the entire dessert was accompanied by fresh fruits and cream. the dessert was quite heavy but was up to the mark.

all in all, if you want to try out authenticarabianfood, then this is the right place to be. happy eating.. :)
