Al Farooj Sonu Kabab — Restaurant in Hyderabad

Stopped by this place during a visit to the historic Charminar area during the month of Ramadan and ordered their Pathar-ka-Gosht, Porotta, and Mutton Marag.

For the uninitiated, Pathar-ka-Gosht is a Hyderabadi speciality, where mutton chunks are cooked by heating it on a wide stone, on a flame. Marag is a thin soup prepared from tender mutton with the bone.

The restaurant is tiny and has limited tables. There is considerable rush during the month of Ramadan and the location on a busy street does not help either. It's chaos inside and out. They had multiple live counters out by the street serving a variety of meat preparations.

The marag was outstanding, with a subtle after-taste as it rolls off your tongue and down your throat. The pathar-ka-gosht was tender and juicy, just the melt-in-your-mouth type.

To wash all this down, you can try one of the many delicious mocktails dished out by the friendly guy at the Paani Wala outlet right by the entrance.

After hearing a lot about it, finally went there to try their ramzan special dishes. We went there at 8:30 in the evening and surprisingly there is no crowd at all. First we took their famous pattar ka ghosh and mutton seekh kebab. Pattar ka ghosh is really good, it was really tender and perfectly cooked. But the seekh kebab is not good. It was dry and hard. Then we took their mutton roast and malai chicken gravies along with rumali roti. Mutton roast was good and the malai chicken was average. They are charging Rs.320 for any mutton item, which is a bit expensive for the quantity they are giving. Chicken items are priced at Rs.180. The food stall is on the side of the road and not hygienic. They have a small place to...
