Arabian Treat Review
Oberon Mall’s food court did try to cover some of the major cuisines most of us were familiar with. The Arabic food joint 'Arabian Treat' was one of them. Fast food joints all around Kochi do serve Shawarma and grilled chicken like Al Faham (however you want to spell it in English!) but this place has a lot more variety on offer.Arabian Mixed grill
This is your
best bet to get an idea of what everything here tastes like. This includes
kababs, tikkas and charcoal chicken for meats. Though it comes with chicken and
mutton as standard, you can opt for all chicken or alternate mixes too. Included
in the price are kuboos, garlic paste and a simple but great
salad. The tomatoes, cucumber and everything else in the salad have always been
fresh and juicy. Available as special, full and half.
Seafood Mixed Grill
Available in full or half, this came with a thick charcoal fish fillet
and prawns. The prawns come with the shell mostly intact but tasted great:
juicy and cooked to perfection. The fish tikkas use seabass, a fish that does
not have any fishy taste whatsoever. Even fish haters like me fell in love with
its melt in the mouth texture. On the other hand, if you want a fishy tasting
tikka, this may not be what you are looking for.
Charcoal Chicken
For those who appreciate a mild grilled taste,
this is a slightly healthy choice since minimal oil is used.
The meat is tender with a mildly spicy flavour. There is a boneless version which still has two small bones at the ends, we were told that this was for enhancing the aesthetic value. This too, is served with kuboos
and garlic paste. Available in full or half.
Spicy Chicken/Mutton Kabab
Finely minced chicken marinated in spices and cooked on a skewer. Tender, tasty with a hint of spice. Served
with kuboos and garlic paste.
Spicy Chicken tikka
These are bite sized chicken pieces with
bone. Nice and juicy with just the right amount of spice. Served with kuboos and garlic paste.
Sheesh Tawook
Essentially a tikka without the bone but retaining the goodness of spices. Makes
for easy eating! Served with kuboos and garlic paste.
