Mohammed Siraj Restaurant: Quick on the cricket field and quick in the kitchen now, Indian pace bowler Mohammed Siraj has officially stepped into Hyderabad’s foodie culture. The cricketer has opened up his own restaurant — Joharfa — in the upscale neighborhood of Banjara Hills, where food, heritage, and royalty coexist.
Mohammed Siraj, frequently referred to as “Miya Bhai” by the fans, was famous for his aggressive bowling and humble origins. Now, he is making heads turn not for wickets but for Joharfa, a high-end dining experience crafted in partnership with his brother. From cricket fields to upscale venues, Siraj’s path inspires.
Joharfa is not only a restaurant, but a testament to the culture of Hyderabad and Siraj’s passion for his city of birth. Titled to evoke elegance and royalty, the restaurant combines Mughal, Persian, Arabian, and Chinese with a touch of Hyderabadi flair, promising a global experience that is yet local.
The venture is Siraj’s first foray into hospitality, and fans are excited to witness his personal touch infused into every inch of the restaurant.
Location: Road No. 3, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad
Opening Date: 24th June 2025
Joharfa opens its doors to the public on June 24, 2025. Situated in the high-end Banjara Hills, the restaurant assures a royal culinary experience for gourmands from the city.
A latest inside video shared by Joharfa’s Instagram provided a glimpse of the interiors. With chandelier grandeur, ornate décor, comfortable seating, and soft lighting, Joharfa yells luxury. The décor tells the tale of Mughal-Persian inspiration, paving the way for an opulent dining experience.
The ambiance is not restaurant-like, but rather palace-like — just how Siraj had dreamed of it.
Prior to the grand opening, Siraj held an exclusive pre-launch dinner for his personal friends and inner circle. Arriving stylishly in his black Range Rover, Siraj was spotted relishing the ambiance and tasting the menu.
The pre-launch video features Siraj connecting with visitors, immersing in the atmosphere, and being a gracious host — something that is not seen often by fans. The video has already gone viral on social media, generating much anticipation for the grand launch.
Joharfa’s menu is a tribute to Hyderabadi tradition with international sophistication. From juicy kebabs, biryanis, and Persian grills to Chinese fusion appetisers, the restaurant combines the best of four prominent cuisines:
1. Mughal: Sumptuous curries, scented spices, and kingly gravies.
2. Persian: Saffron rice, barbecued meat, and nuts.
3. Arabian: Hummus platters, shawarmas, and meat platters.
4. Chinese: Indo-Chinese fusion so popular with Hyderabadis.
Though the complete menu is yet to be unveiled, insiders indicate Joharfa will provide:
1. Signature Hyderabadi Biryani with a royal touch
2. Persian lamb shanks
3. Arabian mixed grill platters
4. Chinese chili chicken with fusion sauces
5. Middle-Eastern-inspired luxury desserts
Fine-dining prices, high-quality ingredients, and portions worthy of a royal feast are to be expected.
Siraj has always been vocal about giving back to his city. With Joharfa, he’s combining his fame with a purpose — to create a unique hangout for families, food lovers, and cricket fans alike.
He shared on social media, “Joharfa is not just a restaurant. It’s a dream crafted with love for my city. A space where people come together over good food and warm memories.”
Its star-studded pre-launch, opulent decor, and menu that blends heritage and innovation are all hinting at the fact that Joharfa by Mohammed Siraj is going to be Hyderabad’s next hot food destination. Whether you are a cricket fan, a foodie, or just someone who adores a royal setting, Joharfa is a must-visit.
