When your first experience of eating a Shawarma in the UAE is this good , it sets the bar higher for others to measure up to the same scale. Having had Shawarma’s in Hyderabad,India this was a welcome change to my palate as this was more tasty and better.

 

If you stand there for a while you would end up noticing the shear amount of customers that walk in for take away’s and dine ins . The size of the rotating meat in itself is a visual wonder. To make sure that the cooked meat  is cut evenly they use electronic saw which just glides on the meat and nicely peels the layers of it

For me one of the best places to have shawarma, didn’t get any parking spots and it appeared to be full from the road. We had to move to the side of the road and had an attender walk up immediately and we placed the order and expected at least 10-15 min to get the order and we were surprised to see that he immediately gave us our order , hardly a minute. As we were on the road and didn’t get parking , our order was prioritized.

Kudos to the management for thinking in favor of the customer proactively.

Coming to the food, the rumali roti ( Called Saj in UAE) was soft and fresh, the chicken was cut into small pieces and nicely rolled into it which tasted amazing, the garlic sauce inside was just delicious.

Second trip had me try their famous Arabic meal which has two shawarma’s that are made crisp on the outside and cut into small pieces like spring rolls . It is served with lots of garlic sauce, french fries,olives, pickled beetroot & cucumber. For Dh.15 this was quite a value for meal option

Spice 6 – The Global Cuisine

Spice 6 – A name synonymous with Arabic & Lebanese cuisine and one of my favorite places in Hyderabad which I visit quite often with friends and family alike.

Started in August’14 by Mr. Khaja Yousuf who is quite well known in the culinary world for being associated with Mak’s kitchen earlier and also running Woodbridge hotel’s food and beverage section. He has also undertaken food and catering orders across India for  big corporate houses, parties, marriage functions , concerts etc.

Place:
It is easy to locate on the banjara hills main road opp.the old music world which got closed,I was amazed at the ambiance. Good seating capacity, brightly lit , very tidy . they also have Family section on the first floor.

Ambiance: 
As soon as you are about to enter Spice 6 you are witness to the date palm tree which gives a middle eastern feeling even before you step in. The ground floor which is the common dining area doubles up as a bistro serving smoothies, mocktails, shakes finger food, coffee and other small delectable items

Food :

Saudi Champagne (non-alcoholic) – It was one of the most amazing drinks I have ever tasted . It is a mock tail of sorts , didn’t get info about the recipe to make it but it has orange, apple pieces in it among other stuff.

Tried the chicken shawarma and having had it across Hyderabad I would say that they make the best one with soft pita bread , good amount of chicken , fresh garlic sauce provided. Nothing else could scream satisfaction more than this. Similarly, you get mutton shawarma as well.

Kebab platter – we ordered for mixed platter(Fish,Prawn, Mutton,Chicken) – We got Grilled mutton which was superb, saute prawns which were good, grilled fish was succulent and moist -its flavor was nice , Murg Nawabi kebab – was one of the best I ever had.

Coming to the main course it is and always will be Khabsa Laham – One of the best you can ever have. Saffron colored rice with dry fruits and a piece of mutton placed on top of the rice is by itself drool worthy. The meat is so soft and succulent that if you lift the mutton piece the bone falls off from it.

Dessert:

Amazing range of desserts, Hugely popular Baklava is available in two varieties ( Baklava & Finger Baklava)  they are superbly tasty I might add.
Tried their Badami Kheer , Kunafa, Sitaphal rabdi all were superb.
