Review Real Arabia - Kochi (Cochin)

Simple food, extremely spicy for us westerners, but you better get used to it anyway.

Loved their grilled fish with tangy and hot masala. Do try if you love spicy food. Seating space is a bit cramped.

Great place for seafood & chicken and bonus points for being open late. I ordered the squid, prawns, and fish by the kg, which were prepared perfectly by the kitchen with dry spices, and the parotta also had excellent texture There is limited seating but the food and friendliness of the staff make it worth the wait

We chose this place specially for its rawa fish fry which was really good.Other dishes were also upto mark. The restaurant ambiance could be improved as this place is congested and parking is also tricky.

I am giving food a 5 star but the price is a bit high. Quantity was good too.

Title: Real Arabia Restaurant: A Flavorful Journey through Middle Eastern Cuisine Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) I recently had the pleasure of dining at Real Arabia Restaurant, and I must say, it was an authentic and delightful culinary experience that transported me to the heart of Middle Eastern cuisine. With its flavorful dishes, warm hospitality, and inviting ambiance, Real Arabia is a restaurant that truly captures the essence of the region. Upon entering the restaurant, I was immediately greeted with a welcoming atmosphere and the tantalizing aromas of spices and freshly prepared food. The interior décor was tastefully adorned with Middle Eastern accents, creating an inviting and cozy ambiance that set the stage for an enjoyable dining experience. The menu at Real Arabia Restaurant offers a wide variety of Middle Eastern delights, providing an extensive selection for both meat lovers and vegetarians. From traditional mezze platters to mouthwatering kebabs and aromatic rice dishes, there is something to suit every palate. The menu also includes an array of vegetarian and vegan options, ensuring that everyone can savor the flavors of the Middle East. To start my culinary journey, I opted for the Mezze Platter, which showcased a delightful assortment of classic Middle Eastern appetizers. The hummus was creamy and perfectly seasoned, while the falafel had a crisp exterior and a soft, flavorful center. The tabbouleh salad was refreshing, with a burst of herbs and tangy lemon dressing. Each component of the platter was expertly crafted, highlighting the freshness and authenticity of the ingredients. Moving on to the main course, I chose the Lamb Kabsa—a traditional Saudi Arabian dish. The tender and succulent lamb was perfectly seasoned with aromatic spices and served on a bed of fragrant rice. The flavors were rich, and the portion size was generous. The dish was a true testament to the culinary expertise of Real Arabia's chefs and their commitment to creating an authentic dining experience. The attentive and friendly service at Real Arabia Restaurant added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. The staff members were knowledgeable about the menu and gladly provided recommendations based on personal preferences. They ensured that my dining experience was seamless, catering to any special requests and making me feel genuinely welcomed. While the majority of my experience at Real Arabia Restaurant was exceptional, one area where they could improve is in the promptness of service during peak hours. There were moments when the restaurant was busy, and the wait time for food and service was slightly longer than expected. However, the delicious food and overall ambiance compensated for this minor inconvenience. In conclusion, Real Arabia Restaurant offers a memorable and authentic culinary journey through the flavors of the Middle East. The flavorful dishes, warm hospitality, and inviting ambiance make it a destination worth visiting for both lovers of Middle Eastern cuisine and those seeking to explore new flavors. I would highly recommend Real Arabia Restaurant for a delightful dining experience that celebrates the richness of Middle Eastern gastronomy. Note: This review is based on my personal experience and reflects my honest opinion of Real Arabia Restaurant.

Had a delicious meal from their restaurant near Shipyard. All the best team

Nice place for a meal outing! Specially for chicken 🍗 lovers! Foods were clean and delicious. Bit a crowdy place in peak hours.

This time I tried ginger chicken and chilli chicken.both dishes are not tasty,

Feeled old time realarabia after long time..food was so good😊👌👌👌

Ordered shawarma via Zomato. Waiting for the order. Will update the picture review soon. The food is tasty 👍

I really loved the taste. I don't know if it was because I was too hungry. Anyways we ordered Al famah and mint lime. It's a normal hotel. Budget friendly. Low cost.

Arabic food was really tasty 😋.. ambiance wise not great

Ordered from here a couple of times. The first time there was hair in the meal and thought it would be a one off case. The next order also had the same problem. Please look into this issue Real Arabia.

The best food for ever🖤

Nice..I purchased fooditems from this restaurent recent year ....i forgot to wrot this review ...its a great restaurent to provide tasty foods

Ordered 2 full grilled chicken,both was not fresh and too bad.Thrown both to waste because no other option.chicken seems to have older for days

👍🤤

Horrible Biryani, even after selling it for 140₹ they don't feel obliged to give at least a good piece of meat in that. Just some rice and onions, pathetic. Shawarma is fully packed with burnt meat so I was forced to throw it after the very first bite. Why cheating customers like this?

Not at all worthy for what they charge, taste wise its ok but not woww

Quantity is really poor. Felt like eating half shwarmma

Ordered thru zomato today. Received old Grilled Chicken. Maybe a day old..they re heated it and all the pieces were very hard to eat. Lost a customer.

Even thought they took money from us, they did not keep all the items as ordered. Carelessly forgot to keep 8 items (kuboos). The same was charged in the bill though.

Ordered spicy Alfam full on 18 April 2020 .very disappointed it was not cooked properly and also the chicken was not fresh no taste at all .. from real Arabia never expected this type of thing

Today i had ordered one full alfam and a quarter. The brust part of full alfam was not cooked well. The quarter part is burned out with lot of ashes.

Don't order alfam chicken. It's worst, not cooked properly. Ravipuram branch is getting worse every day

Very tasty loved the way they blended the Arabian flavour into the chicken😍😍💯

Mushroom 65 worth Rs. 151 was ordered and I got eight pieces with cut onion and a big lemon the mushrooms tasted so sour and salty. My worst experience in zomato.

Very bad one.

We are foolish.. Spicy Alfa ham quarter and one gopi manchoorian order placed and delivery done.. they have Alfa ham not cooked only masala paste and gopimanchoorian are worst.. contacted Real Arabia restaurant they have call attended not replay.. Ravipuram Real Arabia Restaurant had supplied very worst food..

Probably the second favorite Mandhi place in Kochi after Real Arabia, that speaks a lot, with a lot of Mandhi places popping up like Football turfs.

Unbelievably terrible food. One shouldn't even offer this kind of food for free even to people who are starving. I don't even know how they serve the food charging money. Worst experience.

The worst alfam in kerala...a very small portion and it was not cooked properly.... Please dont cheat peoples like this. 🙏

Good ambience and the location is a plus point for this place, but the service was just okay. The food is overpriced for the quantity and taste is just okay. To be honest just an average experience.

They never understand the customer problems and they didnt want to solve the customer problems they say they are always right and we alla re wrong

Al faham is best here.

I ordered 2vmayinaise extra but 2 mayonaise is missing<br/>I paid money. But u not give the extra order product,pls don't repeat this .delivery is good

Biriyani was like tomato rice with boiled chicken..worst biriyani

Good ambience u do not get to see these kind of restaurants inRavipuram regarding their food quality and staff courtesy they stand out in all those stuff u need to try this restaurant atleast once if u wish to taste good hygienic food.

Best Kuzhimanthi in Ernakulam! Take my word for it! Exceptionally good! It's really good that they serve two types of chicken, the regular cooked chicken and alfaham style chicken with the rice. The pickle they serve with the manthi is also an absolute delight.

Half shawai. He cheated the customers. I am very bad experience from this restaurant. And also damaged chicken received from there

This is must visit restaurant.Good ambience. Very tasty food. Seating space can be increased. It was a good experience. One of the best places to dine in on a Sunday with your family, and that's what we do often. Tasty Food in Kerala, Continental, Chinese and Arabic cuisine.

What a joke. They gave boiled rice n chicken pieces which were dry and called that thing a BIRYANI. LOL.<br/>No taste no flavour. Its a real shame to sell something like that. Expected something good from this place as I regularly order Alfaam from here.

The size of the al faham chicken is microscopic in size.

This is a best place for North Indian foods..the quantity and quality of food is very good...Chilly chicken and tandoori chicken biriyani are the one of the best dishes in hotel Real Arabia

Over burned thandoori was given. Not consumable. Alfam chicken was good

Food quality is very bad. Ordered kuboos twice and got same frozen ones. No care for customers requests. Service is worst. Very arrogant behaviour by the staff.<br/>

Tastey biriyani with good quantity

I was ordered one special spicy roll veg <br/>But u r ordered me spicy chicken shawarma roll. This is very wrong, when I was raise this complain to zomatto they Told me we can’t help u

Simply superb!! The quality & taste of the food is breathtaking.The interiors are also nice done and the quantity of food justifies the price tag!

I ordered grill chicken... Chicken it's like a boiled chicken...... I am very disappointed..... Not worth 4.1 rating in Zomato.......... Pls change the quality

I ordered chicken fried rice. The chicken was very little and the rice was just tasteless. Compared to Al Saad restaurant, real arabia fried rice is just too bad to be compared. My first & last time order here.👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

Very poor quality food. Quantity of food is less compared to price.

The super famous place, did not let me down even a single bit! We ordered crispy corn kernels with butter and spring onion, beef roast, Mango curry, Parota and Appam. For dessert there was payasam! And the place is definitely must go!

Taste was good and quantity was fine. Also order was delivered in about 20 mins.<br/><br/>However, the Kothu porotta and Spicy special roll I ordered contained meat even though both were shown as veg in order menu.

I was ordered half grilled chicken but recieve a half alfham instead.this happens today and some day before their butter nan was really stupid made of maida only.i have a bad experience

Food is good. But some times the quantity is little bit less. The arabian dishes especially al faham and all that are very good in quality..

Very good<br/>

Wonderful food. Tasty portions. Not too spicy yet delicious and filling. A really good deal. Thanks for the taste of a good biriyani. Hard to find in Kochi<br/>

<br/><br/>Cost rs 440 for large alfaham<br/>Serves with 4 kuboos, mayo<br/><br/>Definitely a must try place for all Arabic food lovers<br/><br/>Value for money✔️<br/><br/>Ambience 2.5/5<br/>Taste 4.5/5<br/>

BBQ was nice l. But the Chicken clear soup is very bad.<br/>Salt ittittilla ...ellam njan aanu add chaithath. First time aanu ingane.🙄<br/>Too bad......☹

Nice food, good taste but need to improve in potions, I ordered same food three times I like the taste I will order in restaurant and recommend to others too
