A Taste of Kerala, Arabia, and Home in Edinburgh
Famous for Mandhi
At the heart of Awaafi is our Mandhi.
Known for its fragrant rice, tender meat, deep spices, and generous portions, Mandhi is the dish many customers come back for. It is comforting, satisfying, and perfect for sharing.
If it is your first time visiting Awaafi, Mandhi is the place to start.
Kerala Flavour Meets Arabic Comfort Food
Awaafi brings together two rich food traditions.
From Kerala-inspired favourites and curries to Arabic-style Mandhi, smoky grills, biryani, breads, and halal comfort dishes, our menu is created for people who want something different from a standard curry house.
Every visit gives you the chance to enjoy bold flavour, generous food, and a mix of dishes that work for casual dinners, family meals, takeaway nights, and group gatherings.
Dine In, Take Away, or Share With a Group
Awaafi is built for the way people actually eat.
Join us for a relaxed dine-in meal, order takeaway when you want comfort food at home, or speak to us about small-scale catering for family events, parties, and group meals.
From a quick dinner to a full table of sharing dishes, we make it easy to enjoy Awaafi your way.

Halal Food, Warm Service, and Generous Portions
We believe a great meal should feel welcoming from the first bite to the final plate.
That means halal food, friendly service, satisfying portions, and dishes that make people want to return.
Whether you are local to Edinburgh or visiting the city, Awaafi is ready to welcome you for Mandhi, grills, biryani, curries, and comforting Indian-Arabic food.
