Manjaly Biriyani Aroor

Food Review: Beef Rib Mandi at Manjaly Biriyani, Aroor Location: Opp. ICICI Bank, Aroor Gram Panchayat, Cherthala, Kerala 688534 (Search Manjaly Biriyani, Aroor on Maps) Tucked away in a rather unassuming spot opposite the ICICI Bank in Aroor, Manjaly Biriyani is a small eatery that surprises with its signature Beef Rib Mandi--a dish that's fast gaining a fanbase among local foodies. The Star of the Plate - Beef Rib Mandi The beef rib served here is nothing short of a delight. Cooked to tender perfection, it easily falls off the bone with just a nudge of the fork. The meat is richly infused with the flavors of a deeply aromatic gravy--an exquisite blend of spices that feels authentically Middle Eastern with a Kerala twist. It's the kind of slow-cooked, hearty flavor that lingers on the palate and keeps you coming back for more. Mandi Rice - The Supporting Act While the beef rib steals the show, the mandi rice is more subdued in comparison. Though not bursting with flavor, it is cooked well and serves as a decent base that allows the richness of the beef and its gravy to shine through. A bit more seasoning or a smokier touch could elevate it further. Ambience & Practical Concerns Manjaly Biriyani is a compact space--not ideal for large groups or leisurely dining. The interior is functional but modest, and seating is limited. Additionally, parking is a significant drawback. With very limited space around the eatery, finding a spot nearby can be frustrating, especially during peak hours. Final Verdict If you're in the Aroor area and looking for a no-frills spot to enjoy an exceptional beef rib mandi, Manjaly Biriyani is worth a visit. Just don't expect fancy seating or easy parking. Come for the food--especially that tender, flavor-packed beef--and manage the rest with a bit of patience. Rating: 4/5 Food: 5/5 | Ambience: 3/5 | Value for Money: 4/5 | Accessibility: 2.5/5

They used to be good, but recently, the food quantity, cleanliness and service have deteriorated significantly. They offer an option for a Half/Single biriyani, but the quantity served was extremely small -- barely even a quarter of a regular portion. When we pointed this out, the person at the counter casually responded, "This is how it is -- we want people to order the full biriyani and not choose this option." He even went on to rudely say, "People just come here for eating free of cost," which was completely uncalled for. Such a response is disappointing and reflects poorly on customer service. Additionally, the place could use a bit more attention to cleanliness, especially the wash area, which didn't appear to be properly cleaned during our visits.

Nice restaurant with variety of food items.Mainly Biriyany items. Beef & Chicken Mandi and Biriyani are tasty. Nice service. Parking available.

Average restaurant.

Had an unsatisfactory experience few months back. Cleanliness is missing especially in wash area. Ordered biriyani but wasnt tasty. Felt Dalda too much in the rice. They have unlimited rice facility but taste and quality is poor. Price was cheap. Parking facility is okay. Even inside it cant serve a large crowd. Worst biriyani ever had.. too much disappointed

Food is tasty here especially beef & chicken biriyani

They used to serve excellent biryanis not so long ago.... But, the quality has dropped so drastically. It's a huge disappointment to see this happen...

One of the best place in Aroor to get tasty biriyani. Both chicken and beef biriyanies are great. Also try Al-faham from this place
