top 5 restaurant

this location right across jimi mall in al ain and is on the first floor.

its a southindianrestaurant and does have a huest party hall and big space for dine in.

the done is is split between family and others.

the food is spread across a large variety of malabar cousine.

biryani is looks to be the hot favorite, which i didn't order so cannot tell, but sure did see it on litriallt every other table being served.

i had ordered for fish which i feel was stale and the mutton graver was good.

the quantity is large so one portion is good for 2.

would try the biryani the next time.

this restaurant is one of the best places to go if you want to go enjoy some authenticindianfood without breaking the bank and tbh, its better than half theindianrestaurants i have been to. the butter chicken is so good and the biryani is alright, but the chicken lollipop is to die for!

my two problems with the restaurant is the language barrier and the cleanliness of their cups (but that could be fixed by asking for a new cup).

i only ordered from this restaurant as a delivery in it was great. the estimated delivery time is really quick & the food is fresh & warm. the flavours are tremendous for such a humble place with affordable prices. it is specialised inindiancuisine mainly & asian cuisine as well. personally, i recommend the chicken biryani, the butter chicken, the freshly baked nan bread & the dal.

this place is spacious andindianstaff is polite and menu has lot of options. i tried butter chicken which is quite good, mutton biryani is ok, fired king fish is too good and chicken hot and sour also good as a starter. place is not so popular and by seeing the entry you can't judge the restaurants. if you are a foody than just gi e 1 try to top 5 restaurant in al ain- abu dhabi.

top 5 but not that top in taste!

happened to visit this place today for a family dine out! there are only few places in al ain if you are craving forindian(esp malabari) cuisine.
so top 5 is one among those very few restaurants.
don't know whether it's coz i am from dubai and there we have plenty of options when it comes to malabari food.. which are excellent in taste and service , top 5 was a disappointment when compared to those in dubai and sharjah!

we ordered hot and sour chicken soup, fish chutty curry and fish shapp curry (again in chatty) and sea food roast with poratta and chappathi.
"sea food roast" was a variety experience, it's a chilly roast of shrimps, crabs, squid and small fish fry all together roasted and served in one plate! never seen a dish like this ever before , it tasted ok as well though the items served were "frozen" not "fresh".

ambience and interiors( came to know they recently renovated )gets 3, quantity of dishes gets 3.5,
taste :3, cleanliness gets 3.5
value for money:3
all scores are out of 5!


verdict: it's an ok kind of place to visit
my pick : hot and sour soup and sea food roast (only because i am sure you might have never tried before)

i am going with 3 stars!
