More than just a business venture, Joharfa is Siraj’s tribute to the city that shaped him. Speaking about the inspiration behind this venture, Siraj revealed that the restaurant holds a deeply personal meaning for him

“Joharfa is very close to my heart. Hyderabad gave me my identity, and this restaurant is my way of giving something back — a place where people can come together, share a meal, and enjoy flavours that feel like home,” Siraj shared in a press statement. The cricketer, who rose from humble beginnings in the city, now aims to create a space that reflects his journey and roots.

Officially launched on June 24, Joharfa is now open to the public. It brings together a blend of Mughal, Persian, Arabian, and Chinese cuisines, all wrapped in Siraj’s signature Hyderabadi touch. Several videos and reels of the restaurant have been going viral on Instagram, showcasing its luxurious interiors decked in gold and all things opulent.
