WIDE RANGE RESTAURANT | Variety that's Wide Ranged
After an unusual long workday in Al Quoz, it was time for lunch & my unfamiliarity fear kicked in and Zomato came to my rescue. Indeed it was a difficult choice to make from among the restaurants available in the area however I settled for a Desi-Keralite cuisine for lunch. And that led me to WIDE RANGE; a restaurant located inside the food court of Al Khail Mall.

Easy navigation of both the mall & the restaurant was a plus point as well as the free basement parking available for the visitors of the mall.

As I entered the restaurant I was slightly surprised because the interior like its name was interesting & average at the same time. The menu too did not disappoint me as it literally was wide-ranged ~ no pun intended. The ambience & cleanliness was adequate however covid-19 protocols were strictly followed along with the polite demeanour of the serving staff.
I refused starters and directly opted for the main course.
What I ordered?
- Vazhayila Mutton Dum Biryani
- Mixed Grill Lebanese Medium

| Vazhayila Mutton Dum Biryani |
The serving size was enough for 2 people. The biryani was flavorful and economical in price. Overall the biryani was palatable & suitable for lunch. Biryani was served with Dahi raita & tangy pickle; a one killer combo.

The platter consisted of:
- Chicken & Mutton Kebabs
- Chicken Tikka Kebabs
- Chicken Wings
- Grilled Onions & Tomatoes
The quantity for the mixed grill was very good. The meat was fresh, succulent at every bite & cooked to perfection. Nonetheless cooked on charcoal enhanced its aroma & flavour ten folds.
The price factor was also at its par with the flavour & freshness. Highly recommend it.

Final review:
The Wide Range as a restaurant was full of surprises as I wasn't expecting a Lebanese grill at a South Indian restaurant to taste good (highly recommended). The price to quantity ratio is at par. The only problematic thing was the waiting time after ordering food which was considerably longer & nothing was done to compensate for it.
I would recommend this restaurant only for the Mixed Grill Lebanese, to any foodie on a budget living in that area and if you happen to get yourself caught in an unfamiliar location like Al Quoz, you know where to head out.
