At High Range Restaurant Najda, the menu is a treasure trove of vibrant spices and rich textures. Start your day with the Highrange Breakfast offerings such as the fluffy Poori Bhaji — a delightful pairing of deep-fried bread and spiced mashed potatoes for just AED 10.50 — or delight in the comforting Appam Chicken Stew Combo, where light, fermented rice pancakes embrace a creamy, aromatic chicken stew, priced at AED 22.00.

The Starters at High Range are equally impressive.

The Peppery Grilled Paneer combines the creamy comfort of homemade cottage cheese with an earthy pepper punch, making it a standout at AED 26.00.
For those who crave hearty, meat-based dishes, the Beef Corner offers tantalizing choices such as Achayan Beef Ularthu, where beef is sautéed dry with onions and coconut slices, seasoned with a fresh grind of pepper — evoking the bustling street food stalls famously known as 'Thattukada' (AED 23.00). Meanwhile, the Mutton Varatiyathu boasts a luscious black pepper and onion-based gravy that imbues the juicy mutton with deeply layered flavors (AED 26.00). Don’t miss the creamy, slow-simmered Mutton Stew, rich with coconut milk, onions, and garlic, making for a soul-warming dish.

I’d heard mixed reviews about this place, but finally decided to give it a try — ordered the Chicken Biryani and Black Pomfret. The standout was definitely the Black Pomfret — a bit pricey, but absolutely worth it! The Chicken Biryani was also really good — loved that it wasn’t sweet. Overall, definitely worth the visit!

One of the best kerala restaurants in Abu Dhabi city. We usually order online from this restaurant due to parking and space constraints during peak hours. The in house service is really good. Food is also good and authentic. Prices are moderate and the quantity is really good as well. They have a lot of different dishes which is more connected to Kerala. So this is a good resturant those who want to try our Kerala dishes.

Had an amazing experience at this seafood restaurant! The special fish Kerala meals were absolutely delicious – authentic taste, fresh seafood, and perfectly balanced flavors. Every dish reminded me of traditional home-style cooking with rich spices and coconut flavors. The service was equally impressive. A special thanks to Nithin for his warm hospitality and attentive service. He was very polite, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our visit. His recommendations were excellent and truly enhanced our dining experience
