Its really awesome

The place has lots of privacy so you can eat freely.<br/>The food is Arabian and tasty.Really loved the starters which i had ordered.<br/>Food - 7/10<br/>Ambiance - 8/10<br/>Service - 8/10

The ambience of this restaurant is quite good!<br/>I tried the chicken sheesh tawook, the pieces were small and few were charred and bitter served with a very tiny portion of dip and pita bread... Next I ordered for the Arabic grilled chicken(full), since it wasn't available he served us a red barbeque style grilled chicken which looked more like tandoori chicken! It was succulent boneless pieces served with a green chutney! Very yummy!<br/>I also tried the royal falooda and chocolate frappe.. Both of which were avarage...<br/>The best dish: Dessert: Umm Ali💝💝💝💝<br/>This dish is to die for and a must try!

The ambience of the restaurant is very good and the staff are polite. Food served very fast and tastes good too. The Shawarma was my absolute favourite. Must place to eat in Mangalore.

Had been to grill stories manipal, had a good experience and this time i came to Mangalore with my family. This experience was TERRIBLE. Grilled Leg of the lamb we ordered did not have the leg of the lamb but some random lamb pieces. The picture is of the rice that came with the grilled leg of the lamb. Rice was so dry and tasted like maggi taste maker. Food tasted stale. Chicken Al-fahm was under cooked. Lamb shawarma was cold. <br/>The second best item of the night was the lemon mint tea. 1st was the bisleri mineral water. <br/>My Grill Story ends here.

It’s an Arabic Grill Restaurant ,<br/>Music was bit loud, hard to get an attention from the waiter. <br/>Good Food. <br/>Try it out once !!! <br/>It is not dragging me to visit again #yougotme<br/><br/>It’s not value for Money

All meat lovers can give a try to Grill stories is located near Pump well circle,Manglore!Its quite expensive though<br/>Perfect place for arabic food lovers<br/>Shish tawouk - 6 piece grilled chicken served with pita bread ! Tasted good but quantity was less !<br/>I wasnt happy with the Cream of chicken soup.It wasn’t thick and flavour of chicken wasnt there ! Food isnt worth the penny !<br/>

Where: grill stories<br/>What: • I can’t remember what exactly but it was the best thing ..most probably one of it was sheesh touk • pita bread and hummus • kabsa dajaj (i love the rice..perfectly flavoured)<br/>• banana split (not that great)<br/>Taste: 8/10<br/>Ambience: 8.5/10<br/>Service: 8.5/10 <br/>Follow www.instagram.com/hunger_tales_/

I had ordered a homedelivery..a mix of grill items ..very disappointed as it was not tasty at all and quantity was not worth the price...will avoid it

When I went there I ordered a Kabsa Dajaj. It was pretty ambitious of me to try eating it all by myself, I would recommend two ppl to share it (the quantity is quite a lot). We always order the fish platter because they make very good prawns . You HAVE to try the UmmAli (dessert) because it is HEAVENLY!

Tried this place enroute from kerala to mangalore. <br/><br/>Place is cosy. Amazing ambience. Friendly staff.<br/><br/>And GOOD FOOOOOOOOD<br/><br/>The chicken al faham is a must try and the king fish garlic tikka is also amazing worth a try.<br/><br/>However they loat points for two things.... the hummus which is the life or basic fundamental of any arabic themed restaurant was not that great.<br/><br/>The service lagged at some point because even though the staff was friendly... the service was slow and also after taking orders they would forget to bring the item requested.<br/><br/>But apart from this small glitch... the food is a sure shot try 😊<br/><br/>The ginger mojito was also a let down 😣😢

we had a truly bitter experience ordering food and gtin it home delivered frm here a couple of months bck so had to giv a low rating. it was underseasoned to say was one among the issue we had wit thr food.<br/>But to the contrary had a good experience yesterday. The food was good. <br/>taste 3.5/5<br/>service 3.0/5<br/>ambience 4/5( if ur lookin for a quiet and calm place..i think tis is one of the place yu shud come )<br/>value for money 3.5/5<br/>i suggest its btr to go and hav out thr and plzzz plzzz dont go for home delivery..btr to b thr and eat thr.<br/>

Excellent restaurant for people loving Lebanese cuisine. Have been here quite a few times and have always loved the Arabic and Lebanese food here. The ambience, staff, service all are in place the only place it takes a hit is the price, it hasn't stopped me from going there because of the great taste and they also serve good desserts again they are overpriced. Mr Zulfikar and his team are putting up a good show here, hopefully they will be become a first choice for Lebanese food cravers.

For every gulf return NRI the first thing they miss is the food! And I'm one among them. Arabic food is my personal favorite cuisine cause it's more on the bland side in terms of spices. So stopping by GRILL STORIES in PUMPWELL. <br/>The first thing that caught my attention was all the Arabic cuisines! It felt like home. <br/>We ordered the LEBANESE MIXED GRILL PLATE HALF! It comprises of prawns,chicken,fish and mutton. I liked all the other three except the mutton grill cause it was pretty dry!<br/>Then we ordered the VEG MEZZE PLATTER and the falafel was BANG ON! It was perfect. HUMMUS,PITA BREAD and LABAN it was just perfect. <br/>And then comes KABSA DAJAJ it was nearly perfect to the kabsa we get in Arab countries! And I personally loved it! <br/>How can I not have a desert!? I'm a sweet tooth indeed. Finally to complete this meal I ordered UMM ALI,actually I wanted to order BAKLAWA but it wasn't available but yeah UMM ALI was no less too! But it could have been a bit more on the sweeter side!<br/>Overall it was a good experience but for the quantity they serve it's a bit on the pricy side! Food was a good surprise and I would surely go for the falafels again!

Being a lover of Lebanese cuisine, I headed over to this place after reading the raving reviews on Zomato. Even if it wasn't as much as the hype, it wasn't bad at all.<br/>We ordered the shorbet dajaj, felafel, mouttabel and shish tawook.<br/>Shorbet dajaj- 3.5/5 . Not exactly authentic, but it was working somehow. The creamy chicken soup felt wonderful.<br/>Felafel- 4/5 . The felafels were good.<br/>Mouttabel- 2/5 Did not come anywhere close to the real one.<br/>Shish tawook- 4/5. Well-cooked, flavourful and succulent.<br/>The pita bread comes along with it.<br/>Food: 3.5/4<br/>Service: 3/5 The staff were average. Not too courteous and a bit reluctant to get friendly. Need to improve the service.<br/>Ambience/Hygiene: 3.5/5 They have a beautiful wooden theme.<br/>Worth for money: Kind of. On the costlier side with small portion size.<br/>Would be here again to try the rest on the menu! :)<br/><br/>Did try a few more items: <br/>Al-faham: 4/5 Was juicy, tender and succulent with the right amount of seasoning. <br/>Kodar Salona: 1/5 Was utterly disappointing and a waste of the bucks spend on it. A bland bowl of rice served with an equally bland mix of some veggies that reminded me of the stale food served in cheap airlines. <br/>

Good ambience, lovely people, service could be little faster, awesome starters and food. Enjoyed the music and the dinner......😁😁🤗great experience

Food - 3/5<br/>Price - 2/5<br/>Ambience 2.5/5<br/><br/>The place is average and variety is less , food tastes is mediocre and not worth the price , highly priced for the type of food

A very very average place. Though the main cuisine is Lebanese, the waiters don't seem to be well versed in the same. Exorbitant pricing coupled with mediocre food .... Not a place I would like to visit again. <br/>The 2.5 rating is for the effort that has gone in to make the place aesthetically pleasant. The vibrant interiors can be considered the only saving grace.

This particular restaurant adds new flavours to our taste buds. If you are a foodie, the location of the restaurant ( near pumpwell circle) is no reason to avoid your visit to this place.<br/><br/>The heavy wooden, semi - circled chairs, the wood logs used to decorate the place and the name word, the lighting added a cosy feeling to my visit.<br/><br/>This is one place I cannot spell or pronounce the name of the items in the menu. Thanks to the description under the dish, it adds some clarity as to what you are ordering.<br/>We did try the kebabs, the paneer malai, the starters which was tangy and was made with some unknown spices and some flavoured rice with some chicken and gravy tossed over it. Ideally do not order breads as they are served as free ad- ons with the starters.<br/><br/>Also the desert options are varied and you will find some options you have never tried or heard but worth a try.<br/><br/>Apart from the food the one highlight of the place is the hospitality, the stewards, the waiters/ waitress are very observant and at your table when you need any help with the serving. They also provide you suggestions when you are stuck as to what to order.<br/><br/>Do visit to this place for some grills and some stories .

Brightly lit on the highway, this place probably is one of the few legit Arabic places in the city. <br/><br/>The menu is almost completely Lebanese, from grills, Kabab platters and rice-based main course. The medium sized chicken portion in sauce with the kabsa rice was appetizing.<br/><br/>The ambiance is top-notch and the service is very good. The waiters are very enthusiastic and take time out to explain the Arabic dishes on the menu and offer good suggestions. This relatively new place should definitely be on the to-try list of meat lovers. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for Kebabs and grills. <br/><br/>PS : Do not forget to try the Chicken Shawarma.

Not at all value for money... We ordered two starters, Pathar ka Gosht and Lahama shokaf, taken half an hour to serve. Taste was average but quantity was very little. Lahama Shokaf was suppose to serve with pita bread.. but instead we found kubbus (bread used to prepare shawarma). Then for main course they recommended a lebanese dish... Lebaneh Bil Laha... Frankly speaking we have never tasted such type of bad dish in our life in any restaurant... It was nothing but Basmati rise fried in ghee and meat balls in horrible tasted gravy of cream. Not able to eat it, we decided to leave the place and taken food in other restaurant.

So, home on holiday I kept passing by this place, like a shining beacon in a surrounding rendered slightly drab by the ongoing construction and the uprooted kalasha, that had become something akin to a mangalorean hallmark.<br/><br/>The ambience is modern and sleek, with floor to ceiling glass walls overlooking the roads and the Masjid, making it a really peaceful view. We sat on the high chairs, near the said view.<br/><br/>Coming to the food, we ordered the paneer chilly, the chunkey monkey and the love berry, and absolutely loved all of it.<br/><br/>The Paneer Chilly, was steaming hot and was insanely delicious. I loved it so much, that I almost ordered another plate of the same dish. ( which I never do )<br/><br/>The Love Berry, though tasted a little on the tonic-y side in the beginning, was quick to taste much much better once we discovered the clear looking part at the bottom was the litchi, and was meant to be stirred. ( I don't know if it was meant to be. But well, who cares? It tasted good, and isn't that what matters? :p )<br/><br/>The Chunkey Monkey was a delightful surprise though! It was totally different from what we thought it would be and we couldn't be happier.<br/><br/>So, with light alluring Arabic music playing in the background, while watching vehicles and people pass by in the rain, we munched the exquisite unique taste of that, which is an arabic dessert, feeling that feeling you get only when you've had good food.<br/><br/>Even the service was great, with the server explaining the dishes to us and recommending us on what to order.<br/><br/>I would definitely go here again to try the more interesting options on their elaborate menu. Until then, I would recommend you do too :)

Visited this place yesterday! Great food, lovely ambience! Service was a little late! But food was amazing :) Lamb was cooked to perfection!

Good ambience..<br/>Nice staff..<br/>Nice and calm place to enjoy meal...<br/>I loved their shawarma☺☺👍👍<br/>it's among the best shawarma available in mangalore....(a must try dish when visiting this restaurant )<br/>Their shorbet al dajaj cream soup and kabsa laham is also good..<br/>Will visit again soon to try their grilling items on menu...

Good ambience and set up .. but food too costly for the quantity , we didn't even realise that we were served aloo paratha (we ha ordered) bcos it dint even look like that ... had a very bad experience with service .. it was very difficult to get the waiter as only One waiter was attending abt 10 tables and he was running around .. welcome drink was served only after we asked them why we were not given the drink , when rest of the tables which were seated after us , were given ... once we complained about all these ,, they gave us complementary free desert !!! <br/>Overall : tasty food , low in quantity , higher price for this kind of hotel and bad service ...

This one was really an experience that went from confusing to glad I did it, the name and interior design would suggest the place serves western style grill but to our surprise, the menu had nothing but Lebanese dishes. The service started off with a serving of complimentary pita bread, that sparked the change in what is to be expected for the rest of the meal. The next mistake we made was thinking that one main course would be more than sufficient for one pack and oh boy were we wrong. The portion size was huge & nor did they compromise on taste and flavor, both the dishes tasted really good.The beverages too painted a similar picture, the avocado milkshake ( a first try for me) was really cold and thick, just the way I like it but the mint lime was a bit too minty for my liking. The service team was really energetic and helpful, the final surprise came with the check. Expecting it to be as big as the portion size, but they got us there too. Really a bang for the buck experience. Would defenitely visit again and recommend to anyone who is looking for Lebanese grill with a twist. P.S: skip a few meals before you go!!

Awesome food n service....I tried the Mutton Shawarma n there is something magical about it which makes me wanna try it even more. And the Kabsa Dajaj n Kabsa Laham....the chicken and mutton is well baked with the Kabsa rice n served with a special sauce. Even the aroma of kabsa is mouthwatering. If you're a foodie then this is the place.

Ambience: 4.5/5<br/>Food: 3/5<br/>Value for money: 3/5<br/><br/>The information that I retrieved from from Zomato for this restayrent was misleading. So, my friends and I went there with limited budget. We tried a couple of things. Thing we tried are:<br/>1. Veg Soup: Lacked salt. Could be MUCH better. Wouldn't recommend. <br/>2. Fattoush: Really good. The vegetables were fresh. Highly recommended. <br/>3. Shishk Tawouk Arabia: The chicken was well cooked and rich in flavour. <br/>4. Jawaneh Dajaj: Lebanese chicken wings. Recommended. <br/>5. Kabsa Dajaj: Rice was perfect. Chicken was overcooked. <br/><br/>Overall experience of the restaurant is really good.

Not one of those highly publicized places, but definitely a nice place tucked in a corner which is worth a visit. We went there on a week day for dinner and were surprised to find some good quality Lebanese and Arabic food. We decided to skip salads and started with a Shorbet Al-Dajaj, a cream style chicken soup which was good and comforting. Just the thing to set the appetite.​<br/>This was followed by Jawaneh Dajaj which is chicken wings in a sweet and sour gravy sauce. Quite yum and unique. We followed this with seesh tok which was succulent and flavoursome. And then the chicken satay which had a nice fusion of Arabic and Lebanese flavours<br/>By now we were too stuffed for main course and went directly for dessert. I was very surprised to find Umalli on the menu and ordered it immediately. It definitely met expectations and I was a happy soul...... We also had another dessert called nuts and cold Stone which was also good, but just not Arabic or Lebanese.<br/>All in all a good joint to have some good food with nice & pleasant interiors.<br/>Also service was great with a spray of perfume on your hand when you leave, a special touch to keep you thinking about them for a little longer 😊

Pathetic service and non friendly staff. Took more than an hour to serve a starter which tasted average. Not recommended if you want to have a quick bite. Poor overall except for the ambience.
