I have tried this restaurant before and it never disappoints me this time I ordered these 5 amazing dishes and it was perfect in quantity and taste.
We 4 of us ordered 2 half Chicken Mandis and had a great time. Amazzzzing would be an understatement for their Mandi. Meat was so tender so that the chicken was literally falling off the bones. Ultra soft and smooth rice made sure it complemented the chicken so well.
To conclude things, we ordered another Kulukki Soda which too was an excellent drink. I'm certainly going back again to try the Mutton Kuzhimanthi.
The must have "Chicken Mandhi" of Arabian Nights. The juicy Chicken with Long rice. The rice , cooked with chicken has all its flavours and the Chiken waa also so juicy. It makes me drool when I remember the taste of it. ❤️
We went for lunch and had the following dishes:
Beef Mandi 4/5
Mutton Mandi 3.5/5
Crispy Chilly Potato 4.5/5
Kebab platter 4.5/5
Chicken Taipei 3/5
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The tent like setting also provided privacy, especially for a raucous group of 7 like us😁
The service is good. Food was yum. Considering the quantity the rates are not high. The place is by congested. But the service and food makes up for it. Definitely worth a try.
A good hotel at Kaloor.. on Kaloor Kathrikadavu road. Have Arabian huts for personal dinner. The 2 camel 🐫 🐫 models in front of the restaurant make a good feel of Arabian nights at desert. It's better to have a little more clean rest room or washroom there. And also I suggest a calling button inside the hut to easily call the waitress for more order.
This is the third time, I am going their. .
Arabian feel.... ambiance is interesting- it justifies its name.
Usually crowded n night's, booking wil be advisable. .
Food is ok, service is good!
A/C@ each table (which focus directly to food) makes food cold soo fast..
I had to change its direction.
& Sometimes too cold as its soo near.
That was an AwsOme treat at Arabian night...ambience of the place is good but took more time to get the ordered food overall good below are the ratings

It's been long that I ve been craving for mandhis. I haven't tried till now and finally I got a chance to have it from ArabianNight! Rice was really tasty and it had a very good flavor though. As a starter we ordered drums of heaven aaaand it was crazy yum and crispy! Ambiance wise, very interesting one and great privacy setup. Service was also really good and decent! I think since mandhi is famous here, it could have been much more tastier and good in presentation since I ve heard that gravy doesn't seem to appear like that! Anyway my tummy was happy! #Foodexplorer #Foodporn #Loveforfood #Loveexploring #foodphotography #Foodie #foodpics
With lip smacking Mandis served generously, Arabian Nights is a hidden gem in Kochi. And it’s not just their Mandis that are the stellar numbers here. They have a wide range of starters and side dishes too which are worth every penny paid. Hot picks at this place are: Prawn Mandi, Mutton Mandi, Brain Fry and Chicken Lollipop. With respect to the seating areas, the restaurant has 2 areas:- One, in the form of miniature tents and the other in a normal casual dining format. A must try place for all you guys who have amazing taste buds!
Mutton manthi is awesome. Juicy lamb with long rice. Full will be sufficient for two people. Stop.reqding rest of the review. I'm typing as tomato needs review to be 140 characters
I think the serve one of the best Chicken Mandi Rice. The quantities are sumptuous and the blend was perfect. The ambience also was decent and nice. Arabian Nights is worth it is what I would say.
Been here a couple of times. Ambience is good, but they have to work on cleanliness a bit. Food tastes OK but lacks genuine Arabian touch, and resembles more of a North Indian / Punjabi cuisine. Bit costly compared to other Arabic restaurants in the city. But can visit once or twice.
good food , great ambience and good place to spend with family and freinds
Mutton mandi is excellant.
can try hookah ...............
Service and price are not upto mark
Good place to get home delivery from. The Al Faha chicken and tahini sauce is excellent and all the other tandoori items are made well. Butter naan is tasty and soft. The soups are decent as well. Good service and value for money. Recommended.

A hangout place for 5-10
Good HOOKAH
Tents are outdated and dirty
Ac did not work properly
Damaged play station
Average service
Good ARABIAN FOOD served from hotspot
Ambience is great. Tents inside, bean bags and guess what, a PlayStation. Eat, play and enjoy. Do whatever you want while having good food. Must try.
Decent place to order from as opposed to sitting there. Ambience is not bad though. The chicken tikka roll, Malai kababs and Afghani tandoori are recommended.
More than food people go their for hookah. You get a lota privacy as there are tents inside with good air conditioning. Now the worst part is-I've never seen more than one waiter in the whole restaurant at a time.really bad service and the way the charge money is totally unfair.

Visited this place on a weekend. Heard a lot of reviews about their mutton mandhi and was not disappointed. Healthy portion of delicious soft and flaky meat which was enough for 3 of us to eat! The biryani rice was delicious too along with it. Mandhi rice originates
from Yemen and Egypt and found its way to the Malabar region in Kerala possibly through the trade routes centuries ago..
This is a preparation made in special type of tandoor and apparently cooked in the lamb's fat. Lived up to the expectations
For soup i had the arabic lamp soup which was a clear soup and good. Starter was excellent : beef tikka in kuboos(flat bread) and hummus. Highly recommend the starter. Mains were of course the famous mutton mandhi..
everything was great apart from the dessert. Ordered falooda and they had limited options for the ice cream. Took the order twice and came back saying they are out of flavours. Finally the only option they had was choclate..(which i'm not a major fan of)
Decor is slightly over the top with tents which have tv/ac in theml
they serve sheeshas in them... and strictly no alcohol
Can work on the decor and desserts. The staff seems to be slightly stretched as you have to really look out for them and place an order but efficient nevertheless...
Do visit for the delicious food.
One of the best restaurant in whole kochi . The best of the menu is mutton mandhi wow it's simply superb how much I like that restaurant mean weekly Twice I will sure eat there...:
They serve the best hookah in town. Have created an Arabian ambience using tents and camels. Haven't tried the food yet. I'd recommend this for group of friends.
If someone wants a place for smoke of hukkah just as zaffran in mumbai..this is the place in kochi..a bit messed up place with dimly lit small individual tents for groups.. you order hookahand spend time as long as you want after which you go for mandi biriyani and malai kebab with is good and tasty. With little or no ambience goes fine for what it serves with friends and likes.

Mandhi Biriyani. A reason to visit!
Sheesha is just an add on!(not a smoker so..)
While food is sort of expensive, you'll completely forgive them due to the ambience. You can sit and chill for hours with hookah well into the night. Must visit for the smoke and barbeque.
Seating in tents. Sheesha. 'Nuff said. The food is okay. The drinks are better . a great place to chill with friends and have a blast. They have video games and TV on offer too.
Tandoori chicken and white sauce lethal combination, it was so tasty. Also the ambience over here is very good. They give one drink, I think it was kiwi, as a welcome gift. Never seen this kind of stuff. Superb service, excellent food.
Been here so many times but never wrote a review about this place.so here it goes.
The place is given the whole feel of a sheesha parlour,they have made small tents with air conditioner and tv(which they charge extra😆).this place its not about the interior ,its just the feel of the place,great to be with friend or don't think with family,as its too loud always.
Food-The food too is awesome here bit over priced but as the quantity is decent enough and you don't have much hookah place,its okie.The must try are the Mandi biryani(enough for 2 people),the chili paneer roll,chicken tikka roll and pepper chicken roll and the must is the Suleiman 😊. The service is also decent enough with there sweet staff.
Hookah too are pretty good,you have many flavours,which you can add nd make your own stuff or u cn ask them for suggestions.
Overall good as a sheesha place.
This I actually an extension of the hot spot restaurant. The ambience is really nice and different. Giving you a gulf outlook and feel. You might find it little hard to sit and eat in Arabic style but it's worth a shot and a new experience. The food is same as hot spot. The place is also knows for its hukka ( Arabic smoking ). Nothing illegal. Just flavoured smoke.
Well, I had the food delivered to my place. The chicken tikka roll was a yummy stuff. The al faham chicken was quite expensive for the quantity they provided. I'm not really sure about the other items on the menu, but I think they'd not disappoint me. Good stuff!
Was searching for a hookah lounge like mumbai is having in kochi..finally after a long search got this place in zomato..so on the same day went over that place....as i entered it was like tents everywhere...seating arrangements was awesome with ac in every tent with tv n music playing in the area..was very happy n impressed next thing to see was the hookah n tikkas that is the food..first ordered for hukkah the cost was around 500 loved smoking hookah inside tent..than ordered malai kabab n tangdi kabab it was so juicy n tasty loved it..next ordered mutton mandi biryani as it was their speciality n too my surprise they proved it..it was so awesome n the quantity was also so much that two people wud have it easily...overall good food good place..price was a bit high but the service & food n setup made it look nothing...for me by far best restaurent in kochi...go it n have it..highly recommended..

Had visited this place some time ago and the nostalgia made me write this review. Located in kalloor-kadavanthra road, the place has got a unique touch of class to it. They transformed the place sometime ago but I ve been a fan since the place opened up. I was really goddamn hungry when i went there and looking at the menu i did not see anything that caught my attention. I asked the waiter for help on what to order and he suggested the "mandhi biriyani" which was described as arabian biriyani on the menu. So i opted the mutton mandhi and he also suggested that 1 could easily serve 2 people and obviously he was spot on. When it was served, i was dumbstruck. It kind of reminded me of a sizzler with steam fuming from everywhere on the plate. The style of biriyani was something that i never saw before. There was rice, some rich gravy on top of that and a huuuuuuge piece of lamb to top it off. 2 of us were stuffed by the time that we finished it off. It makes me drool even now when i remember the taste of that thing. This is a must try spot and cuisine if you are in cochin. You will just love it.
PS: The first tasting was a couple of years ago before all the mandhi biriyani centers flooded cochin. Trust me that even now i get goosebumps when I go there and have it. Just marvellous. The ORIGINAL mandhi biriyani of cochin.
One good advantage of this place is that it's open late night unlike other restaurants that I have seen in kochi. Apart from that I would say there's nothing extraordinary about this place. Food is good enough and staff is customer friendly. However, cleanliness is not that great.
Decor : 4/5
Ambience: 5
Food: 5
Service: 4
Great idea and very well executed too. Loved the ambience and one of the best chill out places to be in with friends. Great place for arabian food.
A variety concept of small individual tents to enjoy food and sheesha. A great place for friends to chill out.
Food is good and also the service. I would suggest having Malai kabab, Mutton Mandi and grilled fish.
The only problem I felt is the menu is bit over priced but considering the taste of food served, it is OK.
A place for great Arabic food. Their speciality is the mutton mundi which comes with a huge piece of goat leg and a large portion of rice. It is 400 bucks and can easily feed two people. This is one of the places I often order from as its ambience isn't particularly special. It does have air conditioning and parking isn't difficult on the road. Chicken 65 and other tandoor dishes are also quite good here.
My visit here was for a frnds b'day party, this place has tent like setup with tv and a/c's in each tent.
We had hookas and al fams, this place is a must visit place for hooka lovers. With its personal space and tv we can take our time enjoying the hooka and food. Al fams was tasty and spiece.
The serive here is a bit on a down side but the ambience made it a pretty good experience.

Think of spending some time smokin with friends, this place offers you a big range of flavors for hookah. Started going here ever since they were open, for hookah.
Coming to food, I've tried many dishes from here but my all time favorite is their al-fahm. Well cooked spicy juicy chicken served with salad and garlic paste, tastes best all alone without any rotis or parathas.
I tried a small portion of their Mandi, that was may be an year ago. Happened to go there recently and all I wanted was MUTTON MANDI, "RICE COOKED WITH MUTTON AND SOME SPICES". So I place my order without wasting time, and here it comes after 15 or 20 minutes. Rice, which is cooked with the mutton has all its flavors, and the mutton was so tender, that, when I slide my finger over it, the meat just came off the bone effortlessly.
A full portion of MUTTON MANDI costs Rs.440 and is not possible for a normal man to eat it alone. I shared with a friend, which again was heavy for both.
Those who wish to try out new stuffs, this place should be on your list.
Awesome service and Arabian food 😊 loved it.. Cool music too .. Loved the ambience. We celebrated a bday there and it was too good :) :) :)
Arabian Night s (the Hot Spot) is the closest place where we could get Arabic food without having to battle the traffic in the city. We didn't have time for dine-in, so opted for takeaway. The y were packed even though it was after 9.00pm, and we found a few people waiting outside for seats.
We ordered plain Mandi rice (as only the mutton version was available, chicken having gotten over already), and half a portion of Al Faham. I guess it was a bargain at 370 bucks, because 3 of us ate comfortably for that price. Also in the package was a generous serving of garlic paste, some amazing gravy, lime pickle, and two types of salads. Everything tasted alright, too. Nothing too extraordinary, but enjoyable all the same.
Service: fast.
Ambience: pretty good
Price: Worth it.
It's a nice place to go with Friends and chill. You can have Sheesha and play Playstation. And have some good Arabic food. The setup is a Tent setup. It's nice.
We ordered manthi which is one of their best offerings. I have to admit this is one of the best manthi I have tried so far. This is a non veg paradise if you are a hardcore non vegetarian.
Seating arrangements are unique as well. Service also is decent. We went on a weekend and the rush was okay not too crowded. We went with friends and family. They have seating arrangements for a larger group as well. There is no dedicated parking you will have to park near the roadside itself.
They have an exquisite atmosphere with abundant privacy and also are offering good food with an average price. It's a good place to visit with your family and friends and especially for couples if you want to have a private and noiseless candle light dinner under an Arabian tent like canopy. Just go and experience it yourself ❤️
Most of the Arabic restaurants open after 3 pm. But this restaurant opens at 12 pm and serves arabian food at that time.
We ordered Alfham , Beef mandhi and Cheese Kunafa
Beef Mandhi is really good. We loved it more than Alfham. But Kunafa was average.
They provide a nice ambiance. Seats are arranged in Arabic Tents.
I don't see any separate parking space. May be they only have street parking.
Shahi Chicken Mandi was what I tried. The flavour was excellent. Limited rice, yet they are offering good portion. Beef BBQ and Chicken Kebabs are must try dishes.
Literally the best beef mandhi eveeerrrrr!!!.... Shahi dum beef mandhi was just magical..with soft well cooked beef and flavourful rice....best of best...must try

This is my second time at this place and I am not disappointed. I will list down the items we had with their respective reviews-
1. Hanidh mutton mandi: This was good as it had one full mutton leg piece and rice enough for 4/5 people. The Mandi rice had a nice flavour which 4 of us liked and 1 disagreed.
2. Hanidh chicken mandi: The Mandi rice is the same and chicken was average.
3. Beef tawa- This was really good being tender and soft.
4. BBQ Chicken- it was really good with a bit of sweetness.
5. Creamy Mushroom and chicken soup- delicious and as creamy as the name suggests, it had pretty big pieces of chicken and mushroom.
6. Mohabath ka sarbath(Jug)- This had a variety taste as this was new to my taste buds. I think they had mixed watermelon, shamam and milk in it. Anyway we all loved it and ended up ordering one more jug.
I will now talk about the pricing: it is on the higher side as for all the items above we received a bill for 3.6k. The place is neatly maintained and we had a private space in the form of an Arabic Hut so we were kinda okay with it.
I tried their special kebab and it was really mouth watering. I felt a bit overpriced considering the quantity they provided.
I strongly recommend Arabian Nights to enjoy the finest Emirati food in Cochin with your friends & family.. Arabian Nights has become one of the favorite Arabic restaurants for me in Cochin. It has little 1001 Arabian Night like tents, which gives you a little bit of privacy to enjoy your food.. My favorite foods are Arabic Lamb Soup, Mutton Mandi Shahi Dum, Calicut Milk Sarbath Jug, and Melon Splash Jug..

Individual tentstyle cabins are available in the restaurant with separate air conditioning. This ensures privacy, and the tent will move over a texture of Arabian dessert cuisine. The greatest venue for small family events.
Food is tasty, hygenic, and affordable rate. They have a wide range of menus, which includes Indian, Chinese, in particular Arabic and good selection of dessert and drinks.
The quality and quantity of food and the service is very good.
Absolutely, the value of the money spent.
Must try this place.
I would rate this as one of the best mandi I ever had with all sense of flavours and cooked well without loosing it's essence.
Tried their mutton brain fry which was a good try too.
This restaurant is a true Arabian gem. From the moment I stepped inside, I was transported to a Middle Eastern haven, with its inviting decor and warm ambiance. The culinary journey was a delight, from the creamy hummus and perfectly seasoned pita bread to the mixed grill platter bursting with flavors. The baklava was a sweet, flaky delight, and the aromatic Arabic coffee was the perfect ending. The attentive and knowledgeable staff, along with a personal touch from the owner, made this dining experience exceptional. If you're looking for an authentic Arabian dining experience that combines delicious food with a captivating ambiance, then it is a must-visit.
Posting this review a bit late..Me and my friends went to this restaurant on Dec 31. We ordered Beef mandhi for 700 which was for two persons. The meat is so well cooked and succulent. The rice is nicely cooked as well. It was not dry as some other hotels. The quantity in the rice is plenty enough for two. They also serve Mayonnaise and salad with this plate. The ambience of this place was also magnificent. It was like we were in an Arabian style table.
Parking might be an issue but they have other hotels of the same management nearby where we can park our vehicles
The alfam is decent. No varieties are available, but still it is good which is normal spicy.The masala mandi is really tasty and is available in Chicken/ Beef. Separate curry is available for the same, which is also really tasty. The location is nice with sufficient parking.
Ambients was excellent food not taste like mandi but chicken charcoal got juicy good we enjoyed beef fry was well cooked tandoor roti also good
Tried a beef manthi from here, it was awesome and very tasty. I would say food is a bit costlier, Its around 700 rupees for 2 person. They arranged the tables as a tent mode covered with clothes, just to feel as a arabian style.
