Perfect if you want a variety of local malabar food. Puttu biryani neypathal liver beef are a must try
Great food always! Porotaa and Chana is my favorite with a Karak Chai! Wonderful beef biriyani also!
Awesome place for local malabar food at cheaper prices...... also with varieties of tea snacks......
Amina Restaurant is a little restaurant in the Darut Ul Mia area of Khalidiya. It can be found opposite the Fathima Supermarket.
This may be a budget restaurant, but is extremely popular among the residents and locals of Khalidiya for their tasty no frills delicious food.
The restaurant is always busy and mostly caters to local residents and office goers. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
They serve a selection of Indian dishes and a smattering of questionable Chinese dishes as well.
They serve a variety of biriyani's like chicken, fish and prawn among others.
They also serve quite a few dishes from the Malabar region.
A full on meal for one would cost around 25 Aed and is hence excellent value for money.
If you like exploring and you find yourself in Khalidiya, this is a fantastic place for a budget meal in a cafeteria like setting.
They also have a very successful and popular tea section and they serve excellent Karak tea, biscuits and snacks.
Sometimes, the smallest places surprise you the most.
This is a hidden gem, The best KARAK tea I had my whole life and I mean it..
Sambosa was ok, parata Sandwich is yummy..
Pocket friendly and yummy food..
I found this little place waaaay better than "some" fancy well known restaurants..
* Will I go back again!! Oh HELLLLL YESSSSS
Proper kerala pothi biryani in authentic kerala masala.
With coconut chutney inside and all.
All wrapped in a banana leaf.
Worth the money spent
When it comes to fresh milk tea, Aamina rarely gets it wrong. We have also tried their beef masala dosa, chappathi rolls and Kappa biriyani. While all of it is good enough, the kappa biriyani and I am in love. 😂 The portion size if quite big too.
The rating and review is only for their tea. I have never tried or felt like trying anything else.
Their karak tea is one of the best in Abu Dhabi. Whenever I have family visiting from India, Amina’s tea is also on my list of things to get my family to try. The tea has a lot of sugar, which is probably why it is nice. If you ask them to add less sugar they will do it for you. There’s generally a queue of cars in front of the restaurant of people ordering and having tea in their cars. They have a special window that opens on the road for serving tea.
Small and always busy. Service is always quick even though it's packed 24x7. Food is comfort food of Kerala with options of other south Indian food. Tea is the number one thing on demand here but the value for money is undeniable. You get a bang for your buck. Bonus points if you know Malayalam, communication becomes easier
This is the first place i heard about puttu biriyani and i tried.My friend recommended to have a try and now it is one of my favourite place.I recommend all my friends who like spicy and tasty food
Budget restaurant,but does not compromise on taste.. Location is a bit congested and crowded all the time .i have tried their Kappa Biriyani and Chicken fried rice .Food was tasty and the portions were generous..Will definitely visit again..
We can eat here orginaly Nandan food., Kerala food and appam, dosa Puri, Kerala beef biriyani and beef sukka it's an Soo good with this place and final touches with like tea ..................
Good food at a reasonable price. I have ordered only once and tried only one item. Taste, quality and quantity was ok. Delivery takes bit longer so you may to order early.

This is the closest thing to the real thing you can get. My favourite place in Abu Dhabi to eat for the food, staff and ambience. Perfect. recommendable
Their Chicken Dum biryani and kappa biryani was delicious. Pocket friendly restaurant. Service was okay and Parking is hard to find sometimes.
I have visited this place quite no. of times. Must say it goes well with pocket & tummy. Tasty dishes. Idiyappam is nice & soft. Goes well with mutton or chicken curry. Quantity they serve is good for two. Have tried the biriyani once. Fair enough. Since i have a weakness for omelette i make sure i have one towards the end of my meal. Service is quick. Some nights its pretty crowded & gota wait for a seat. Not suitable for family.
Amina... Amina... Best o f Amina is their low cost and speedy delivery even if it is a small order. I like their Biriyani. Some people may comment on the delay in delivery , but i have another view. I tried almost all Indian restaurants in Abu dhabi .You have to wait more than 20 min minimum to get ordered food. We can wait their , but at amina! :p Comparing to the price and other things Amina provides the best .
Also i advice to prefer home delivery if you are staying with family. Bcoz Amina has no room for family.
Amazing food. Basic price. This restaurant enjoys great popularity.
Flip side understaffed.
You may have to wait for 15 min to get served. Waiter forgets your order and may come back to you again to repeat the order. May take another 15 min to pay your bill as the cashier is busy serving food and visiting kitchen to bring food to the table. Some times you get to eat others order also if you wish. Thanks to the waiters.
They may not even notice if you don't pay for it. But we are thankful enough to have gorged on delicious food and choose to wait for 15 min to pay off your bills.
Awsome! Me n my wife are addicted to their Zafrron Tea! Their Neypattal is also yum! Good Service too!their smiling faces will make you feel good
Amina is a regular haunt for bachelors like me. Quick bites and easy on the wallet. Tea is amazing. I recommend the chicken dum biriyani. Lip smacking good and very northern malabar! The beef and chappathi are a close second. The tea time snacks are something different, not usually seen in other cafeterias/restaurants. All north kerala food addicts will love this place.
They have revamped very recently. Earlier used to have a family room, which is no longer there. And that is the only con.
Chai and bites : 5/5
Service : 4/5
Ambience : 3.5/5
Wallet : 5/5
Super Biriyani!!! esp. Malabar Dum Biriyani (Kannur/Malappuram/Calicut mix Style). If you have any plans of visiting Amina restaurant , you are free to tell my name, there is bundle of chances to get extra biryani rice :p Just give a try :) Price is reasonable too.
Missed to review the awesome Samavor tea!
This restaurant has a lot of history, this restaurant started as a very small restaurant 20 years back and was only known for its special milk tea or kharak chai and people from all nationalities, boy or girl, rich or poor would come to there place just to have their tea and all would leave happy and with a big smile. I would remember seeing people driving bmw to ferrari everyone would stop to have his tea and today Amina have expanded their restaurant and with their tea and paratha serve many other items to cater to the needs of their guests. Most of their food is south indian spicy food but has good taste just like other south indian dhaba restaurants but their tea is just mind blowing and beats all other tea shops in the same area. Only problem 80% of their food is quite spicy and a place for bacholars but if your in this area should try their tea atleast as a take away.
