Found this gem, hiding in the heart of Al Karama.
Won't lie to you but Zomato ratings made me impulsively select this restaurant & I was not disappointed.
The restaurant looked pretty average from the outside but let's not judge the book by its cover.
I get hangry (angry because I was hungry) real quick & just in time this restaurant came to my rescue, I arranged a last-minute dinner plan with my family.
I was so thankful that there were ample parking spaces available, trust me you'll be thankful too!

As I entered the restaurant; it had an authentic Indian ambiance that resonated with the restaurants you would find on the streets of India. You know the best things are due to come when beautiful Nostalgia hits you from the very beginning.
What I Ordered ?
- Chicken lollipop
- Hyderabadi Dum Mutton Biryani
- Bheja Fry
- Gulab Jamun
- Tandoori Butter naan
Chicken Lollipop
For the starters, we ordered chicken lollipops which were perfectly fried, with the perfect blend of Indian herbs, a very common indo-Chinese dish that was perfectly unique.
Bheja Fry |
As a main course, bheja fry was fiery & succulent in texture. So juicy it just melts in your mouth.
Hyderabadi Dum Mutton Biryani (Jumbo) |
The show stopper of the dinner, this biryani was so different to the types of biryani's I have tasted, the mutton was tender. However, it had the scope to be a little bit better yet the quantity impressed me.
Final Review:
The Meal
BTW, the mutton biryani was a jumbo (good for 2 people) but the serving staff was so honest & polite that they told us the serving quantity is enough to feed 4 of us & still be eligible for a takeaway.
Apart from the quantity, the taste of the meal was phenomenal, the meat was fresh & tender. The butter naan was also very soft. Adequate & acceptable cleanliness & COVID19 SOP's strictly followed. The serving staff was polite, honest, cooperative & friendly. And not to forget to mention, the price ratio is way less compared to the portion ratio, so any foodie out there on a budget can enjoy a delicacy without damaging your wallet.
I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant & its food, make sure to trust the serving staff they will serve the BEST to the BEST.
