This restaurant is one of the few good restaurants in the area offering a unique dining experience. A perfect restaurant to try out the sea food dishes along with continental and North Indian items and a restaurant that stays true to its name (FIVE STAR!) when it comes to food quality, presentation and staff hospitality. Loved the royal decor- dimly lit, quiet and very peaceful. Loved how the restaurant lit up the place with huge fish tanks along with different seating styles to meet everyone’s preferences. This place is perfect for groups or even for a casual date night. The staffs were well dressed, super friendly, attentive and helped to find the perfect place to dine in. The hospitality provided was above the expectations. The manager of the restaurant came over and over ensuring everything went well. Overall, the service was impeccable! The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. Most of the dishes are reasonably priced. We started off with a hot creamy thick soup flavored with saffron and cheese assorted with shrimps - the Seafood yellow River Soup followed by Prawn Dynamite and Mussels in garlic as appetizers. The Prawn Dynamite is one among their best- selling dish: it was mixed with their signature dynamite sauce! (Definitely going back to have this again!!). Never in my life have I tasted Mussels or oysters or anything that comes under the bivalve species category! It was a good experience trying out the mussels flavored with garlic and spices for the first time- perfectly cooked and the spices did give a lot of flavor to it. As the main course we opted for the Grilled salmon in teriyaki sauce and Beef stroganoff with rice. When the main course dishes arrived, our expectations continued to be exceeded. I must say, that was one amazingly moist grilled salmon that everyone must give it a try. The teriyaki sauce gave a delicious sweet- and- sour glaze to the entire dish. The beef stroganoff was smothered in a delicious creamy sauce along with perfectly cooked mushrooms and shredded beef- very pleased with the ingredients. We decided to settle our stomach by having the sponge cake: the saffron milk cake from the list. I’ve tried out various flavors of milk cakes and the saffron milk cake really did taste different, good different. The cake was soaked in their special saffron flavored milk that tasted awesome! Definitely a must try. Overall, this place has already set the bar and I will definitely be going...
Read moreFive star restaurant is located in Al Majaz for quite sometome. They have set this place for family vibe and interiors are very different from the rest.
They have multi cuisine food and do they bring different flavours onto the dish.
The food we had all were 5/5 and no further details required:
Gobi manchurian- it was too good. Tangy and spicy coating not too much. Just right. Crispy and hot as well when served. Ideally loved by kids and adults Chicken lollipop- yum and big portions. Presented well. Chicken cooked well with juicy nature intact. Green salad- fresh bowl of veggies. Special Mutton biryani-mutton was cooked and masala was right. Spicy nature. Long rice looked perfectly and finesse in the presentation. Chicken tikka masala- chicken perfectly cooked and juicy. Loved the gravy. Kids loved it with naan. Creamy nature. Naan- butter naan portions were good. Arabian tikka masala- these chicken pieces were served with white rice. Since it had special arab spices on the chicken, it was just right to go with the rice. Cucumber lemon mint detox- good. Perfect detox drink. This is one of the detox drink i have at home and i adore it. Blueberry mojito- too good. Chilled drink. Colours and love for kids tongue and equally enjoying for adults Saffron milk pudding- the best milk cake i have had. Its just in good portions. Heavy. And couldnt get enough of it. It was simply the best.
They are also good in serving seafood as well. Its pleasure to b there in five star and we are looking forward to try more of their...
Read moreWe had lunch at Five Stars, do not hesitate to come here for good food and lower than average prices.
It's our first time dining in. Usually, we order delivery from Five Stars so we already know that the food was going to be great. It was a nice change of pace dining in.
As soon as we walked in, we were escorted to the first floor, where all the seats are in booths for privacy. The waiters knock on the door before entering.
We received complimentary papadam and yoghurt after placing our order. The food was superb. Everything we ordered, we enjoyed. The dahi puri was really good and so was the mutton (boneless) biryani. Highly recommend. It took less than 25 minutes to serve everything, with the drinks coming in last. I appreciate the quick service (and the ½ litre mojito!).
Special thanks to our server, Vivian for her attentive and wonderful service.
The only downsides I've come across are these: 1) The saffron cake is praised the best in the UAE, but that did not seem very true for me. It lacked the saffron flavour! The most essential ingredient. Instead, I was eating vanilla cake with milk.
Overall, I enjoyed my time here and I will be coming back to try more...
