Why everyone keeps coming back.
Nestled on Najda Street near the National Hospital in Abu Dhabi’s vibrant Al Danah district, High Range Restaurant Najda is a culinary haven for lovers of authentic South Indian and Kerala cuisine. This restaurant invites diners to embark on a flavorful journey through traditional recipes, crafted with precision and passion.
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 Ghee Roast, a south Indian specialty perfectly roasted with fragrant spices at AED 7.50, delivers a warm, smoky crescendo that food lovers won’t soon forget.
The Starters at High Range are equally impressive. The Arthangal Beef Chilli features tender chunks of slow-cooked beef enveloped in fiery Indian red chilies, offering a bold and distinct flavor profile that sets the tone for a memorable meal (AED 29.00). Vegans and vegetarians alike will adore the Gobi 65, a crispy, spicy cauliflower dish that is as addictive as it is vibrant at AED 23.00. 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.
What truly sets High Range Restaurant Najda apart is its ability to capture the authentic tastes of Kerala with a refined twist while maintaining generous portion sizes that provide excellent value. The dining atmosphere is warm and casual, encouraging camaraderie and shared enjoyment.
