Kairali , Ruwi High Street - Authentic Kerala meals

Authentic Kerala-Style Food - Kairali , Ruwi

In Muscat, there are lot of Kerala restaurants which provide good food no doubt, but one restaurant which stands out is this hotel located in Ruwi , High street. next to Khimjees. It is in very busy, narrow street and quite unassuming place.  The parking is difficult, you might need to park on main high street and then walk inside the lane opposite to 1st Malabar gold showroom which you pass by.


Kairali restaurant provides very authentic Kerala food. Incase you happen to go the interiors of Kerala or visit rural village, you might get similar taste of that particular place in here.

In here, they serve Kerala meals in banana leaves. It is said, in olden days or village side, people used to pack their meals in similar fashion. It is called "Pothichuru". Each and every food items are very  

pre-served in the banana leaves It consists of red-rice, two kinds of veggies ( poriyar or palya), veg curry, ratio, sweet.

There are other dishes which are cooked in banana leaves and is served very well.
   "Choora Roast"

I am sure you will never forget the taste !!!!

Udupi Resturant- Oman Exchange Ruwi high Street

Oman Exchange Restaurant - Sounds Omani, but its Udupi-Style Restaurant

The Name sounds like Omani food, but it is actually Karnataka food restaurant. It is in narrow street of High street Ruwi. Parking space is limited. The restaurant remains of old time hotels in Bangalore. The ambience is not that great inside the hotel. However, the food is great. This restaurant is for common-man, who can go everyday and have the meal at best economical rate.

Few recommendations in this hotel

1. Sambar dipped Idlies + Vada + Filter Coffee
        Sambar dipped idly is very good here. Vada too are cripy and tasty.

2. Masala Dose + Filter Coffee
         I cant compare this dosa with MTR dose, however it is good in its own right.

3. Full meals  - 
          Meals are very good, you get very good Udupi style meals, great value for money.

Amaravathi, Dubai - the only True Andra Restaurent in GCC

Amaravati, Karama, Dubai - The only true Andra-style non-veg Restaurant in Gulf region

Amaravati restaurant in  Al Karama, Dubai is the only Non veg authentic Andra restaurant in the whole region. It is food heaven for south Indians who prefer spicy and hot non-vegetarian food. 

Following few highly recommended dishes you have to try out :

1. Mutton Biryani
2. Chicken Biryani
         Bryani's are the specialties here, you should stop over this place, if you are visiting Dubai. In this place Biryani is at its best, I have eaten biryani in Hyderabad places like Paradise, Shah Gosh, Hyderabad House. But believe me this biryani can be the best as it can get !!

3. Non-Veg full meals

MTR - The finest and authentic south Indian breakfast in Muscat, Oman

( Mavalli Tiffin Room ) MTR - The authentic south Indian finest tiffins ( breakfast ) in Muscat, Oman
Updated as on June 2019 - this is closed.

MTR is one of the oldest tiffin rooms which was started 90+ years in Bangalore, India. The good news for all the foodies in this region is that, they have opened their branch in Muscat.

These are my recommendations to try it out regardless of who you are ( South Indian, North Indian, European or Omani )

1. Masala Dosa + Filter Coffee
            The best dosa you will eat in Muscat. This Dosa is cripy, filled with potato palya (potato filling) and is served with chutney and Sambar. The best way to eat Dosa is to eat with chutney to relish the pure joy of authentic Kannada food at its best.
             Order filter coffee finishing the Dose. If you like cappuccino's this coffee can give good run for any star bucks or costa's cafe.   
                       

2. Bisibele bath  + Bisibele bath + Filter Coffee  : This is the most authentic Bisibele bath you will ever eat. And I don't think anybody can prepare this dish beyond the taste what MTR has to offer. Trust me, you will do a repeat order after eating once.  of course, you can order filter coffee too !!!

3. Chow Chow bath + Cold Badami Milk
              This dish is prepared using semolina (Rava). Ususally it comes from family o Upma, but it has very different taste. Westerners be careful with this, as it could be hot for your taste buds.


4. Mini Tiffin + Filter Coffee
( includes 1 Idly, 1 Vada, Khara bath (semolina), Kesari Bath ( Sweet), Masala Dose)

      If you are super hungry or if you want to taste the best of three dishes at same time, this is something you should try it out. It is true value for your money. And you can only try this during weekdays.


There are other authentic kannada food available in this hotel.  You should try if you want to explore Karnataka regional food, which are everyday staple food for rural and urban families.
1. Mudde meal  - Ragi ball Meal.
2. Akki roti - Rice flour Roti
3. Ragi Roti - Ragi millet flour Roti

There are other dishes which you can explore. But above
