4.8/5* - A Fantastic Dining Experience at Bab Arabia, Trivandrum:- On August 7, 2025, my family and I had the pleasure of dining at Bab Arabia, a renowned restaurant specializing in Arabian cuisine, located on Kawdiar-Pattom Road, near Marappalam Junction in Trivandrum. As part of a chain with branches in Kochi, Thrissur, Angamali, and Trivandrum, Bab Arabia has earned a reputation for its delectable dishes. Having previously visited their sister concern, "Alibaba & 41 Dishes" , we were excited to try Bab Arabia. This visit did not disappoint us. We ordered the Turkish Puff Roti with Butter Chicken, Kapama Chicken, Kapama Beef, and fruit juice. The Kapama dishes, a slow-cooked roasted meat served with rice, were a highlight. The chefs mixed the ingredients in front of us, adding to the experience. Every item was incredibly flavorful, and we appreciated the unique taste. Our server, Mr. Rameez , who appeared in Arabic attire, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the dishes, providing valuable insights into their preparation and specialties. His warm and cordial attitude made a significant difference in our dining experience. The other staff members also did well. The prices were reasonable, and parking was convenient, with a few cars able to park in front of the restaurant. However Parking tends to be tough during peak hours, but I visited at 8:30 pm and found the restaurant wasn't crowded, making it easy to find a parking spot. Overall, 'Bab Arabia' offers a great dining experience with a different taste and ambiance. If you're looking to try something diffrent , I highly recommend a visit. My rating: 4.8/5 Price per person: ₹200–400 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Recently visited Bab Arabia for dinner... Don't know about the authenticity regarding the turkish flavours ( haven't tried from elsewhere), But their dishes surely satisfies the indian taste palatte... The salad felt quite refreshing, especially the hummus. The Bbq was well cooked and the roti was large enough for two. The service was pretty good. Minimal parking infront of the restaurant ( but you can surely park the roadside) Will try more items and update the review in the future. Items tried : Cold Salad Platter , Mixed fried rice, Turkish BBQ , Turkish plain puff roti Meal type: Dinner Price per person: ₹200–400 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Review of Bab Arabia Visited Bab Arabia on a peaceful Sunday afternoon, and the experience turned out to be quite enjoyable. The restaurant wasn’t crowded, which allowed for a calm and relaxed dining atmosphere. The ambiance truly stood out — the interiors were beautifully done with intricate designs and a modern touch that gave the place an upscale feel. We ordered their special Kapama Chicken and Buhari Chicken. Both dishes impressed with their rich flavors and well-balanced textures. The Kapama Chicken, in particular, stole the show — not just for its taste but also for its eye-catching presentation. While the Buhari Chicken was good, I personally preferred the Kapama for its depth in flavor. We also tried the Alfaham Chicken, which was a bit underwhelming in comparison. The portion size felt small, and the texture and masala didn’t quite hit the mark. For dessert, we had the Kunafa with ice cream. The Kunafa was definitely tasty, but at ₹400, it felt slightly overpriced for the portion and overall experience. Overall, Bab Arabia offers a memorable dining experience, especially for those looking for flavorful Middle Eastern dishes and a top-notch ambiance. Would definitely recommend it for a quiet and quality meal. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: ₹200–400 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Vegetarian offerings: Clearly labelled vegetarian dishes
