are they even bothered ? 2011-11-17
No person to take your orders on a Saturday night, with one person constantly on the laptop.
Their pita with babaganoush and hummus still rocks. We had the mutton shawarma, a middle eastern grilled chicken which was half done and another veggie curry which had canned tomato's. Blah!!!!! -

A Taste of the Desert 2011-09-27
Summary: A delightful joint serving Arabian, Persian and Bhatkali cuisine. Food, decor and service are quite good, and the prices are reasonable. The place was a bit deserted during our visit; hope that was an off night, since I would love to go there again and try the other dishes at this place.
My first Friday evening out in the city saw me and my friends auto it up to Frazer town to try out this Middle Eastern restaurant. The joint is located opposite the mosque on MM road, on the first floor. One sees a big sign for the restaurant from the street, but the entrance at street level... read more -

very good Kebabs 2011-08-26
Went to this place after reading all the good reviews on Burrp and was not disappointed! Its a simple cosy place witha middle east themed ambiance as the name suggests. Had tandori prawns and chicken kebab , chicken biryani , Saudi Arabian champagne , sharvama roll and everything was really good and we cant wait to go back! Wish the restaurant was in koramangala! the place is reasonably priced as well so you can eat as much as you want without spending too much.... -

Awesome fodd 2011-08-07
Went here last night. It's a small place on the first floor. The staff look simple and polite, and not overly servile. The food we ordered came within 15-20 minutes as stated on the menu.
The food is simply awesome. We had a chicken kebab, prawns fried on a stick, bhatkali biryani. The meat in all the 3 dishes was marinated perfectly. This may be the first time I felt the food is tastier after the first bite. The meet was marinated deeply, so it becomes tastier as you chew it. The masala in the biryani was mild but has a unique taste, and the chicken was cooked perfectly.
In total... read more -

Navayte People - Good Show 2011-05-01
After seeing the NDTV show wanted to go there very much. Could finally manage to drop in yesterday for lunch. The entrance is dirty and dingy. The ambience would have been good when started but now appears worn down and shoddy.
As the menu indicates this is all about navayte food. We ordered the platter besides Arabic Biriyani, hummus, babagnush, fattoush, umeAli and the mahalabiya
The platter was excellent - correct spices, nice marination, you name it. Pitta and hummus were dissappointing. Baba gnoush was passable. I did not like the arabic biriyani.
The UmmAli was excellent.... read more -

1st visit - lunch review 2011-01-23
I like the decor and the menus. The lamb & fattoush were great. The hummus was nothing special and the lime soda seems to have been made on premises and not as good as bottled. The chicken biriyani was very good though and the meal was enjoyable as a whole. -

good budget midEast option 2010-08-08
Went there on a weekday evening through a group buy. Looked like an interesting place and had been a long time since i had Mediterranean and Persian.
There is parking space on the side road. Is a bit tough to locate as it is on the first floor, and you have to make your way thru some dingy stairs. The interiors are well done, but looks a bit old. Perhaps they have tried to recreate some old middle east house type feel. The place itself isnt too large.
The seating is low lounge types.
The menu is divided in to various sections - Bhatkal (costal Kar), Persian, Arabian, etc, but can get... read more -

Disappointed 2010-07-31
I usually enjoy the food at Alibaba; however, today I was quite disappointed. I ordered the lamb kebabs which were too chewy to eat, and the rest of my order came to me cold. I used to recommend this place highly, but that won't be happening anymore. -

Good Indian, bad Persian/Arabic 2010-07-16
I went to this place a few months ago - having read and heard good things about it. The decor is interesting, but the place is a little too dark and a bit stuffy for my liking. They need to improve their ventilation.
We had some kababs, which were excellent, and then some Arabic vegetable dish, which was quite inedible and some Persian meat dish, which was unremarkable. I left there with the impression that while the Indian food was very good the foreign food was passable. The hummous was okay - not as good as some of the other places in the city - for example, the late lamented 10/11.... read more -
