Interestingly, Joharfa seems to be a regular stop for Mohammed Shami whenever he is in Hyderabad. Back in December 2025, Siraj had hosted the Indian pacer at the same venue, with Shami sharing pictures from the visit on social media.
Launched in June 2025, Joharfa marks Siraj’s entry into Hyderabad’s vibrant food scene. Located on Banjara Hills Road No. 3, the restaurant offers a royal dining experience, blending Mughlai, Persian, Arabian and Chinese cuisines with a distinct Hyderabadi touch.
With its celebrity visits and rich culinary offerings, Joharfa continues to trend as one of the city’s most talked-about hangouts, attracting both cricket fans and food lovers alike.
