I tried out this restaurant for the first time recently. Gorgeous ambience, friendly staff, spacious area enough to seat 120 - 140 people comfortably. Two hand wash area and restroom which was maintained well.
I ordered a cream of chicken soup, a Kerala meal, ghee rice and beef curry and a chicken lollipop. The highlight turned out to be the Kerala meal. It had a fish curry also included in it, along with usual fare of items. It cost only AED 10.50 and was well worth it. All the items in it were delicious and filling.
Regarding ghee rice and beef curry, well I ordered it thinking its a combo meal whereby you are served a small amount of curry and the whole combo would cost 10 - 12 dirhams. However, on receiving the bill only, I understood that it was not a combo and the curry cost AED 19 and the ghee rice was AED 8. That's AED 27 which I thought was not worth it at all, especially since I didn't like the beef curry. Hard pieces of beef in an average gravy. Nothing stood out about it. I am disappointed I chose that.
I visited them around 3.30 PM and by then they had run out of biryani. That's why I had to go for the ghee rice option. My son chose a soup and starter of chicken lollipop. I tried the soup as well. The soup base was sweet and had shredded chicken in it. I didn't like it. Price was AED 12.
The chicken lollipop was juicy and yummy. There are two options - Dry or Sauted. If you like saucy lollipop then go for the sauted option. It costs AED 17 for 7 pieces. A warning though that it is very spicy.
Overall, it was a good experience. The staff were friendly and had smiling faces. Would I go there again?. Yes definitely. Wont be choosing ghee rice/beef curry and the soup. Next time am planning to try their biryani and also need to go for dinner and try the...

We visited this restaurant for Suhoor, and despite the massive crowd, the experience was absolutely worth the wait. The way they managed the crowd was impressive—we got in pretty quickly after Suhoor started, which was a pleasant surprise.
The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly our server, Mr. Muttalib. Even on such a busy night, he ensured we were well taken care of. He carefully listened to our order, made sure we received all our food fresh and hot, and always had a smile on his face. His attentiveness and hospitality truly elevated our dining experience. He is a true asset to the restaurant, making guests feel valued and welcomed.
The food itself was fantastic—full of flavor, fresh, and served piping hot. Mr. Muttalib even went the extra mile to offer us more without hesitation. The tea and Chicken 65 were standouts, adding to the already great meal.
Overall, the service, food, and ambiance made this a Suhoor to remember. Highly...
