Nayaab Haandi - Al Majarra I Pakistani Restaurant — Restaurant in Sharjah

It used to be such a legendary place to eat with mughal style food and the serving size was also generous with no compromise in quality well now it's changed to some extent and to start the review I'll say that the Grilled items are still one of the best in the area but would avoid the Kababs which are a fat mess

Let's begin with the good , the grilled "Boti" or the tender part of the chicken which they serve in bite size ? Well they are too big for being bite size but they are intented for that I guess are a great choice , because they can't do cost cutting there they are just a tad bit on the pricey side but worth a try

Then the Chicken Charcoaled or Tikka which they call it, tikka isn't the right word but it's acceptable nothing particularly exciting especially compared to the "Boti" it's just a shame it's not good enough for my expectations

The Kabab which is ground meat rolled on skewers Was great but not anymore, now it just tastes like more fat less meat. Balance is lost completely to save costs and it tastes bland and stomach turning to the extent they have taken it. Chicken ones are OK but Mutton aren't recommended because it's much more noticeable on them

What about rice , a staple ? Well it's good surprisingly especially when you start to compare it to it's competition which are nearby restaurants it's miles ahead but wouldn't mark it perfect . Recommend the Afghani Pilau/Bukhari Rice over the Biryani (If you don't have a sweet tooth definitely ask them to not add sweetened raisins and carrots definitely not my taste I don't find proper balance between the raisins and rice while I find the sweetened carrots to be less annoying) . Again the biryani used to be pretty good but not so much anymore still miles ahead than others and they also give you a big portion of it which does outweigh the downsides . Cook on the rice isn't consistent in my experience sometimes too mushy while the Pilaf has been better and is a better side dish

And here comes the weakest link , The Handi . It's Called Nayaab Handi C'mon , just plain disappointed very very disappointed. They are boasting their Handi and it's just OK I find that the ingredients sometimes are bad , chicken can be excessively dry and gravy can have a slight bad pungent taste . They are just pushing out quantity here. Big disappointment as they have put it there in the Name!

The Karahi , chicken cooked in a Wok. It's a plain joke it's so bad it makes it look bad. You can get much better Peshawari Karahi at other places and as the last time I tried it, it was just not a Karahi in any way to me and so far not great

It's a great place to eat with major flaws across its food, they are not equally good some bad some good which is odd to me. They can improve...

Edited: They are still same. Worst customer service. Now they add 2 aed for card payments. While world is going cashless, they want people to pay for more or bring cash.

Years earlier review: Very near to my place, that is the reason I give them 1 star, otherwise they don't even deserve that. The staff is so unethical that when I told him, it has been already 40 mins since we gave order, and we will not come here again. He said, your wish don't come. After 1 hour finally we were about to taste the food, the food wasn't that great and it's expensive than any other restaurants that are near by. I guess they don't care for customers, because they have many branches and everyday I see a lot of people eating out there. They have the name now, so they don't care about customer services. I have seen this kind of attitude with Pakistani restaurants, even the close by Naan guy has the same attitude as if they are giving food for free on subsidiary from Govt. I would request everyone never to visit. Show them the power of...
