The Beginning
In the year 1999, Qureshi Brothers ventured into restaurant business and opened their 1st restaurant Mezbaan: in Kurla. Mezbaan gained popularity in area its Indian and Chinese Cuisine. The USP of Mezbaan was its authentic tasty food served at very reasonable price.
We then started our second Branch of Mezbaan at Carter Road, in Bandra 2003. To match the taste adventurous crowd in Bandra, we introduced some Arabic Dishes in our menu such as Mandi Rice, Laham (Mutton) Kabsa Rice and Dajaj (Chicken) Kabsa Rice.
Growth & Expansion
Word spread quickly about Al Rayyan' commitment to quality. By the early 2000s, the chain began expanding beyond the Washington D.C. area. Today, Al Rayyan operates thousands of locations worldwide, from the United States to Europe, Asia, and beyond.
Despite rapid growth, Al Rayyan has remained true to its roots. Every location still grills burgers to order, fries are cooked fresh in peanut oil, and the focus remains on providing an exceptional dining experience.
