Review Hotel Fanoos Restaurant - Bengaluru

A great place for seekh kebab roles. The meat in the role is fresh and grilled and healthy to consume. I like they don't load their rolls with mayo and other unhealthy sauces. Just green chutney, mint leaves and Onion that goes into the rolls. You can actually taste the flavour of the meat. Not a dine in place , there are some chairs and tables but not a clean place to sit and enjoy. Parking is an issue here since it's on the main road.

Good food, great taste and price is also reasonable. Their sheekh kebab roll and shwarma roll is a must try.

One of my favourite places for their amazing seekh rolls. This outlet is the best in comparison to the other Fanoos locations. There seekh rolls are amazing and so are their other roll, kebabs and shawarma options. Reasonably price with good portion size. It's self service. Ambiance - 3/5 Speed of Service - 4/5 Food Quality/ Presentation - 4.5/5 Taste - 5/5 Portion Size - 4.5/5 Value for money - 5/5

Best place for sheek rolls and kebabs. Beef chicken and mutton available. Parking on the street. Payment via cash card and upi accepted.

Mutton sheekh roll is the best I've ever had! Always a good experience here.

And old place I have visting from years. Good sheek rolls. Try the newly introduced blue tea

Small place but neat and clean. Service is fast. Food is good and reasonable. The best is the sheekh rolls. If you buy a jumbo roll, it's a medium lunch quantity.

If you are a non vegetarian lover and you need low budget food with taste , try this hotel

Good food.. very tasty.. eating there since school days and the taste remains the same.

Amazing sheekh kebabs as well as rolls is what you can get here. The prices are alright as well. Taste is really good. There is an option for beef on all dishes. Haleem is available as well and tasted good. Must try item on the menu is definitely the sheekh roll.

The actual OG of kheema roll, sheekh rolls and many more curated items, had a tiny conversation with the owner when we visited during odd hours when, dining was closed, he opened it for us and the service was quick, but the owner said that there are many people who have copied this, so prefer this than others cos this is where the legacy started! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Known for it's sheek kebabs, I tried it out after many years (Mambo and Sambo options). The veal kababs are also good. The biryani was just so and so. I would recommend occasionally stopping here and picking a sheek roll.

Very decent beef rolls, juicy beef sheek and chili beef. Well cooked and served with onion and mint chutney.

Iconic name....sheek and chicken rolls are simple and tasty making you long for another bite.....their shawarma and other chicken and beef delicacies are superb....seating area is available....price is alright for that occasional binge......

One of the best beef sheekh kebab rolls I have tasted

We had Chicken and Beef roll. The rolls we tasty. Could add some vegetables to it.. there were just little onions and meat. Most people would love that.. I like more fiber.. the beef kebab was oily.. but delicious. The boys working there were attentive and nice. Tables could be more cleaner. There is car parking and two wheeler parking.

Food was good but they could have come up with more decent sized portions. Will I order again? Definitely yes! But since its a little on the pricey side for me I’d probably order it once a month.

Excellent blend of spices used to make this delicious bed, the best in business and city, must visit

We have ordered mostly beef seekh kabab and chicken rolls and jumbo chicken roll during iftar. I specially liked the beef seekh kabab and chicken roll. Have not tried other food items yet. But this two i liked it a lot. Beef seekh kabab was really good and yummy. Made it really nicely and price was not cheap too. But worth it ... :)

Unsatisfied n full fat content,was unable to eat

Can u guess which one is Mumbo n which one is Rambo? Both sizes are same n difference in price is almost 100 bucks waste of money food quality is average. U guys suck.

Staff-5/5<br/>Food-5/5<br/>Parking- u can find on road. Security is there to help<br/>Bit crowed..<br/>Pocket friendly 5/5<br/>Heard of this place since a long time, but never went here.. We went here once 2 Months back n now we are regular visitor here almost every weekend.. Love the rolls.. If u visit this place.. Try their special beef burger.. It is yum..Itz a new addition to menu.. I have shared images of same. Also try the bread sweet

Non vegetarians paradise. Scrumptious seekh kebab rolls and shawarma, also these days they've got incredibly reasonable, juicy burgers!

Ask for the mambo rolls!!

I've still not been given refund, what kind I'd hygiene does the restaurant maintain?

The rolls are available in 4 different sizes. They are cooked perfectly. I doubt you can go wrong in ordering here, because everything is tasty. The roll has the signature smoky and charred taste, which elevates the taste of the already scrumptious beef sheekh kebab in the roll. Can't wait to go to Bangalore again

Excellent food and service. This is a must visit for lace for all foodies in Bangalore, finally a great food joint serving Biriyani and beef kebabs . Have the masala beef chops.

I have been relishing seekhs and rolls since a few years here. The bad review today is for the mismanagement since the last 2 times that I visited this place..<br/><br/>Even when it wasn't too crowded they took 20-25 mins just to accept our ticket.<br/><br/>On top of that they weren't even following first come first serve..and we finally got our order of 1 plate seekh and 1 mumbo roll after 45 mins of waiting.<br/><br/>This is a fantastic place for meat lovers, I just hope they get back on track on service.

This is probably the best, most reasonably priced non veg joint in Bangalore. The rolls here are to die for, and beef is simply the best. No compromise on quality. I feel lack of words writing this review cos this place transcends what words can describe. Ambience may not be that good, but they oh so much more than make up for it in taste!

Located on the Richmond road near Johnson Market, this place is a heaven for the non-veg lovers with variety of awesome non veg dishes to try.I ordered a chicken Shawarma roll which tasted exquisite.The place gets extremely crowded during the ramzan days.<br/>Chicken Shawarma - 5/5

Food Hopping In Richmond Town For Some Amazing Street Food And I Stumbled Across This Place, Fanoos.<br/><br/>I Tried The<br/>1) Chicken Chilly Tikka Roll - Rs 85<br/>2) Fanoos Chicken Roll - Rs 70<br/>3) Beef Irani Seekh Roll - Rs 60<br/>4) Mutton Chilly Roll - Rs 105<br/><br/>Absolutely Loved The Beef And Fanoos Chicken Roll They Are A Must Try Here.<br/>Perfect Amount Of Spices In All Of Them.<br/><br/>They Also Have Crazy Size Options To Choose From. Regular, Jumbo, Mumbo, Rambo, Sambo And Mogambo Wherein Regular Is The Smallest One And Mogambo Is The Largest Size Option Available.

Fanoos has been around for ages and is popular mostly for its beef rolls and biryani. Of late they have diversified their menu choices but my favourites are still their beef kababs wrapped in roomali roti and their beef biryani. Ambience is just about OK and prices moderate. Would recommend.

Onion Packed Rolls and Shawarama helps them sustain in the business.<br/>Didn't expect such an unhygienic smelly dining area here.<br/>The Sheek Kebab is the only dish that was better.<br/>Ordered Shawarma Rolls which was again a flop.<br/>One may feel uneasy after having their oily Biriyani.<br/>They should be really looking into the food quality aspects.<br/>Filling just onions in the rolls instead of good meat doesn't always make the rolls taste good.<br/>Food : 3.2/5<br/>Ambiance : 1.0/5(dining area)<br/>Service : 3/5<br/>Disappointed after going there.

Have been a Fanoos customer for 26 years now...so seems a bit late in the day to write a review. But anyway, here it goes:<br/><br/>1) FOOD - It&#039;s a non-vegetarian&#039;s paradise. Simply put - the food is no-frills delicious and awesomely soul-satisfying. The legendary rolls (Jumbo, Mambo, Rambo &amp; Mogambo) are amazing and unique creations that also give excellent value for money. One should try out the other kebabs and the shawarma too...and also the flavorful desserts of Arabian origin.<br/><br/>2) AMBIENCE - The takeaway counters are usually jam-packed...but the food makes it worth the wait. The sight of the flying embers on the huge open grill with the countless skewers of marinaded meat is in itself a delightful thing to see.&nbsp; The sit down restaurant has an old world charm to it, though it may not have the slick look and feel of the more modern and upmarket High Street places. The service is efficient and quick and cleanliness and hygiene quite on par.<br/><br/>3) CUSTOMER FOCUS - The best part of the Fanoos experience, IMHO, is the passionate focus on customer satisfaction. Mr Shakir, of the 3rd generation of owners, seems ready to always go the extra mile to get a happy customer. I need to share a personal experience here: A few months ago, my brother and I were returning from Mumbai and our evening flight was delayed. We called the Fanoos number and wanted to check up-to what time they would remain open, so that we could pick up some food on the way back home from the airport.&nbsp; Mr Shakir picked up the phone and when he understood that we were flying down from Mumbai, assured us that he would keep our choice of rolls ready and waiting at the outlet however late it would be. We landed finally at Bangalore airport at 1030 pm and the first call I received was from Mr Shakir, checking if we had landed. He asked us to reach the Johnson Market outlet and even if the shutters were down, to knock. We eventually reached the place at 1145 pm and true to his word, the shop staff were waiting with 2 hot Mambo rolls for us. I have not experienced this kind of passionate customer service in a long long time.<br/><br/>All in all....this is a place that wins your your heart through your stomach...and for me at least, it has grown into an addiction that I have no intention of curing. And now that my kids are grown adults, they too have inherited this love of Fanoos and its culinary magic.

As I was looking around any restaurant for lunch found this place in busy traffic junction in Johnson market. I took beef biryani, chicken tikka and chicken kebab.i must say the quality and quantity of food was way better than I have tried from other restaurants price is also pocket friendly. Will sure come back for dine in and try there other items on menu.

Went to this childhood favourite of mine after many years. The place has been modified slightly but still retains the same old world charm. The names of the seekh rolls – Regular, Jumbo, Mumbo, Rambo, Sambo and Mogambo- never fail to amuse me. If you love the meat, go for the Mumbo roll as in my opinion it has the best rumali roti to meat ratio. The wait for dinner is soooo worth it! Wash the juicy roll down with a masala coke or nimbu soda from Madeena stores and you will be all set. A must go for meat lovers in the city!

Went to try the Iftaar food here.<br/><br/>The items that we had are as follows:<br/><br/>Samosa (beef, chicken, mutton) - chicken and mutton varieties were good, beef wasn't that great<br/><br/>Chicken Lolipop - good<br/><br/>Chicken Hariyali Stick - excellent<br/><br/>Chicken Shawarma - not good<br/><br/>Mutton Seekh Kabab - excellent<br/><br/>Irani tea - decent<br/><br/>Kulikki Sharbath - excellent<br/><br/>Overall, a good experience. 4/5<br/><br/>I'll be going there again next week to try the chops, rolls, haleem, and sweets. :)

There is no other outlet in Bngalore that can beat its Beef Sheek Roll, absolutely amazing! Also tried mutton haleem, especially available now in the month of Ramadan, and loved it. Wifey tried chilli beef roll and she loved that too. All in all a great place for a midnight bite.

Chicken roll - minced chicken roll - really yum<br/>Chicken makhani roll - good<br/>Beef seekh roll - good but a bit dry<br/>Mutton Biryani - bland and tasteless, just some coloured rice with two small pieces of mutton.<br/>Zomato delivery - good<br/><br/>

Delicious sheek kabas and shawarma rolls. I prefer the chicken shawarma to the beef one in this place. It gets crowded in the evening but otherwise it's fine.

Known for its rolls and shawarma this place is pocket friendly and suitable for a quick bite .<br/>Great quality and hygienically prepared food .<br/>Always on my list for a quick bite

Fanoos- since the 1950’s!! So cool no... 😀<br/>For me, Fanoos round 1 happened during the early 1990’s (I was in school then)! <br/>Grew up eating Fanoos rolls, Biryani n kababs. 😃<br/><br/>Well, today, I ate<br/>- Chicken Kababs<br/>- Fanoos Special Chicken roll (friend chicken mince wrapped in a roomali roti, with some masala n onion)<br/>- Ghee rice <br/><br/>They were all good. Old school Bangalorean will love Fanoos, always. The one next to Johnson market is super iconic. Cheers

Always loved the beef sheek roll here. But today beef roll tasted soo bad. Salt and spice missing and too oily. Waste of money. Rather sheek that is available right outside the Johnson market entrance taste better. I suppose they are losing their quality of food.<br/><br/>Will never go back to fanoos. Disappointed.

One of the worst experiences in my life. literally threw all of it in the garbage, because that is what they served, garbage. sheekh was hard like rubber and stank like gas. hard rotis, unethical dirty practice. shame on these guys for such low standards

Went for a quick bite - - - - small joint but nothing fascinated me there - tried almost everything but nothing had a wow factor need to improve on there menu and quality of meat they providing....<br/><br/>Ambience 3/5<br/>Service 2.5/5<br/>Quality 1/5<br/><br/>Overall 2.5/5

Pretty decent place with value for money sheek.. But.. it can b improved a lot..! Come on jus Bcos u r famous doesn't mean u can b lethargic. The shawarma was okay n d sheek was good but d service was pretty bad. And d "restaurant" next door has no one to take ur order nor clean up d place.. great opportunity to run it better but management doesn't care I guess..

I ordered mutton kheema pulav instead received beef kheema pulav.. you guys are cheaters...

special dal is packed in plastic cover, so cheep

Tooo oily

I ordered chicken shawarma from fanoos, as i was very hungry. But when the chicken shawarma was opened to eat , i was shocked to see that they had stuffed old chicken and it was smelling pathetically.

worst experience, food was old

I wanted to try Iranian seekh kabab at this place. I ordered Rambo Iranian seekh kabab. The kebab was okay. I was expecting more taste wise.

.was not hot

waste of money time n all rather i myself would have gone out n had my dinner. So cheap food <br/>this is fraud The biryani was so bad n that shwarma as well. why do you guess cheat your customers.

good

Taste ok. But jumbo size is equal to normal

good id job

he doesnt delivered this order<br/>

I'm not sure if it was the hype that got me to expect more but the roles and shawarma were good, it was the main course (biryani) that I didn't like too much. I liked the chicken curry (pasindey) but wasn't impressed at all with the beef biryani.<br/><br/>Again the rolls (beef bhunna and beef chilly)did their bit in standing out.<br/><br/>Do give them a try.

quantity 😭

good

The shawarma is not shawarma, it's just meat cooked n rolled in the bread

good food

all the foot was out side in pollycover not in parking .and also delivery boy did'nt have manner how to talk to a customer.

pathetic service food was not good very less mutton pieces in biryani

Too oily

Excellent services, I highly recommend everyone to order from Fanoos restaurant, I have almost tasted their complete menu, and everything is very perfect like taste wise or quantity wise, it just makes my day post having their food.🙏

<br/>On Time +humble service.

items not available, replacement items offered instead... as it turned out the replacement items were only partially available.... got me irritated and cancelled the original items ordered. Got the rest though.

the quantity that fanoos delivered compared to the price was just too less

food as always stays fresh ND tastes gud , onions were not provided which is quite odd .<br/>

No proper gravy

worsted food was cold and west in test I think hole item is old

Fanoos has been around longer than I have been around! Let’s just say several decades and stop there. Been here a million times, ahem, and my recurring order is always mutton sheek jumbo roll and a plate of mutton sheek. Tender, juicy, spicy, tasty! Mouth watering stuff! Wash it all down with a lime soda in the neighbouring stall and you have yourself a fabulous meal! Do try!

Food was horrible.. got food poisoning..

awesome since I started eating there since 2000

ok

The worst ever shawarma I ate in life. Firstly he wraps uncooked meat.<br/>Secondly he destroys the shawarma as if it was some Kolkata kaati roll with Those thin sliced onion and guess what tomato sauce and chilly sauce in it.<br/>Thirdly that fella, had the audacity to tell me that the meat can be cooked only like that in a shawarma when I took out some uncooked pieces even before the first bite.<br/>I gave it to him and asked him to have it and left the place.<br/>Such a stupid place and people destroying what was once a good restaurant.

they are not sending properly what we have order they r sending other items

I have a lot of childhood memories associated with this place<br/>One of my all time favorite Hangouts<br/>The sheekh roll here is basically a staple for me

Was in the midst of heavy traffic and had to break my fast on the way back home.. decided to pick ifthar stuffs from here.. they had a good variety.. was amazed to see the variety they have in the month of ramadhan.. picked up a seekh roll,samosa,mutton chops for ifthar..it was too filling and very good.. for dinner I picked up haleem which was definitely not the best in town as ppl around say but was very average..service pretty bad but reasonable pricing except for the haleem.. seekhs were the best..

h<br/>

ok

ok

So good to be back in this area after a long time.<br/>Been craving some seekh kabab so came here today with a friend, and we both had irani beef seekh rolls(jumbo).<br/>A little disappointed that they didn't have the chilly beef rolls, but made do with the seekh.<br/><br/>Flavour isn't as good as it used to be, but definitely value for money.

very little amount of meat and onions in the roll. they have forgotten what a roll must look like. extremly bad.

fresh, yumm and wallet friendly!

worst quality

too much arrogant

food is good but I have ordered 2 rumali rotis but delivered 1only.

no comment

i visited this place during Ramdaan. they had lots of varieties of everything but lacks quality. I had haleem/chicken item and everything was average nothing exceptional. Chichabas taj is still my favorite

great taste

One of the worst experiences online I ever had . I was home sick and wanted to order food through Zomato ... I placed the order at 8 pm and the food was suppose to be delivered by 8.45 pm which was fairly acceptable even though the restaurant is just 5 mins by road . At 9pm since I did not get the order even after it said it left the Resturant at 8.30 pm , I panicked and used the helpline which was again useless like the zomato portal . At 9.30 pm I get a call from zomato saying they have to cancel the order and they will refund my payment after 48 hours . I was wondering if there is any way to drag this site to court and sue them for failure of service ? No reasons given for cancellation inspite of telling them i’m sick and hungry !!!!

I have been cheated ... I asked for some Thing and was sent something with out consulting me ... this is not right at

nice and better

I ordered a jumbo beef roll but it's not joto the mark.. the wrap was small in size compared to jumbo n it was very dry.

quantity servered was less

A legendary place to visit if you are a foodie at Bangalore.<br/>The Chicken rolls, Shavarma n Kababs are phenominal.<br/>Even a lassi bar is attached adjuscent.<br/>The ambience could ve been a little better, not a very sophisticated place to dine with your family.

Have been a regular at Fanoos for the last 8 years and undoubtedly this is the best seekh kabab rolls in Bangalore. Taste has been the same but the crowds have reduced over years. This is clearly to do with the steep increase in pricing. 95 Bucks now for double seekh roll is a bit steep.

Heard that this was a great place for shawarmas and rolls and I was craving for some too . My friend and I thought of completing our dinner here . We ordered the following : Chicken seekh roll , mutton seekh Roll , chilly chicken , chilly mutton Roll . We avoided the shawarma as it was kind of monotonous and the irani rolls as they weren’t spicy enough . I’m more of a chicken person than mutton and hence loved both the chicken seekh kebab roll and the chilly chicken . Good value for money and the pricing was inclusive of taxes . The kebabs were grilled to perfection. However I felt the following could be improved : the oil levels especially for the chilly chicken and mutton preparation and some hygiene initiatives such as wearing gloves and caps would be much necessary for an outlet like this . The ambiance could be made much better and neat. The cooking area cleanliness could be improved as well . <br/><br/>Food: 3.5/5<br/>Service : 2.5/5 (promptness) <br/>Ambiance : 2/5<br/>Value for money : 3.5/5 <br/><br/>- Foodie From Madras

Jumbo, Mumbo, Rambo & Sambo!!!! <br/>these are the names for the famous Sheek kabab rolls here... The taste is very special made of Secret Masala recipe which is maintained from years... Try Mutton... chicken... and Beef... Kebabs... The taste u will always remember!!!

Tuesday again its off confused noon for lunch where as its too sunny outside to go out and had lunch boring.. ordered for biriyani today from fanoos heard lots about them good but grevy they provide along with biriyani was not matching....

This is basically kind of starter place or if you want to have some sort of roll or kabab. Order beef seekh kabab and praise the place to give that kind of taste. I personally recommend chicken chilly roll and kababs.<br/>Service-3.5<br/>Food-3.5<br/>Ambiance- street food culture<br/>Value for money- 3.5

As there is a saying that Only a Jeweler Can know the value of Real Diamond...<br/>And I would say only a Real Foodie can know the value of *FANOOS*... <br/><br/><br/>Great taste, quality, quantity and Hygienic rolls and other food items..<br/>Always have been best and will always be best in town..<br/><br/>Agar Rolls ka Maza hai Lena<br/>Fanoos Zaroor Aana<br/><br/>Love+Food=FANOOS@

Fanoos is the oldest sheek joint surviving till date successively competing its rivals. Been the best for authentic rolls and chops! <br/>Over the years they have reduced the quantity of sheek for the price paid. Thats the only this disappointing. But the taste always wins the bet and brings you back often!✔

Undoubtedly you can have one of the best sheek rolls here, chicken rolls are good too but with time they haven't been able to maintain the same taste , however great for college bunch and if you want to have a quickie for just a few penny ;)

This is another worst place to have your food. Worst service and bad food. Their rolls were good once upon a time. But now they have lost the charm. <br/><br/>Will never visit this place again.
