Kebapçi - The Steak House — Restaurant in Arwaliya

This place is unique-ish for Bhopal. A steak house!! Who would have thought.

Detailed review follows since they seem to have extreme reviews mostly so the positive(5star) reviews felt paid and so did negative reviews(1star). Or they really have die-hard fans and haters in equal.

Empty even at 9 pm today. Place opens till 2AM and as per information provided, patrons start to come late in the evening. We reached at 8 and while the place was open, the staff were preparing cutlery etc.

Food : pretty decent. Different concepts though. Don't go on the names of dishes, they vary from their standard understanding. i.e. Chicken Burra was supposed to be charred in Tandoor but here it was tandoori chicken on a sizzler type platter.

Pricing : acceptable, slightly on the higher side but understandable since it's different. Nothing is complimentary: Salad and water is charged which would have been ok if we would have asked for bottled water and salad. When those items are being served without order they should be free or be asked.

Service : terribly poor. A couple of young kids were running the place. They had no idea of basic service hygiene. Everything needed to be asked for, things took too much time. We were served rotten Kheer, when we pointed it out they took back and later while leaving informed us that the electricity was off since morning hence refrigeration failed. No manager visible or any other senior person.

Ambiance : interesting. Nicely done. Could improve a lot on cleanliness front though.

I must share that it felt like that they have started to take business for granted.

Still might visit again giving the...

If you're a purist when it comes to meat, Kabapçi is a hidden gem you absolutely need to experience. Their Steak is a masterclass in simplicity and flavor, where the meat is the undeniable hero of the plate.

Cooked to perfection with just salt, pepper, and a touch of butter, the steak celebrates the natural, rich taste of meat without masking it under layers of spice or sauce. The texture is tender yet hearty, and each bite delivers a savory depth that's both bold and refined. It's the kind of dish that makes you pause and appreciate the essence of well-sourced, well-cooked meat.

In a world where over-seasoning is often mistaken for flavor, Kabapçi takes a confident, minimalistic approach that pays off beautifully. Highly recommended for steak enthusiasts and anyone who values...

Kebapçi (Ke-bap-chi) offers mouth popping food. The attention to detail to the decor, lighting and overall atmosphere is highly impressive. The owner personally welcomed us, took us for a short tour and talked us through his inspiration. The food is splendid and is a Turkish-Indian fusion cuisine. The mutton kebab starters literally melted in the mouth followed by the perfectly timed presentation of the fascinating Mandi Biryani, perfect for 6 hungry adults! We finished off the tongue tantalizing, eyes watering, soul warming biryani with a chilled, saffron laced, semolina kheer that reminded us that we are truly at the centre of royalty Bhopal. Well worth every penny....
