Al Reem Calicut
About
A newly opened mandi restaurant on South Beach Road specialising in authentic, flavourful chicken, mutton and beef mandi, part of the Al Reem Mandi group.
Authentic Mandi on South Beach Road
Al Reem Calicut South Beach is a mandi-focused Arabic restaurant on S Beach Road in Kuttichira, near the Calicut beachfront. It belongs to the Al Reem Mandi group, which has been serving Yemeni-style mandi across India, Sri Lanka and Saudi Arabia since 2010.
What to Order
The kitchen is built around mandi — the Masala Mandi is a standout, and the Chicken Mandi is praised for its tender, juicy meat over well-seasoned, aromatic rice. Mutton and beef mandi are noted for the freshness and quality of the meat, and Al Faham grills round out the offering.
The Experience
The restaurant has a pleasant ambience with ample parking — a genuine plus near the busy beach area — and works well for family dinners. As a recent opening it draws a good crowd, so expect a short wait at peak times while the team continues to smooth out service.
