Excellent place to enjoy authentic Pakistani taste ...food is bit spicy for my kids but overall nice place..
LalQila is without any doubt the best pakistani buffet restaurant in the UAE. Loved their food and service whenever visited.
Tasty buffet and well served by friendly staff, The outside view of restaurant is amazing.
It is excellent restaurant and all the food are delicious, staff are also cooperative. Me and my family love to go there.
Dream land.
Beautiful presentation
Nice costumes
Nice environment.

What else you want
Best and fresh BBQ in town
Beautiful ambience and lovely view out side
This restaurant is located in one of finest places in city, the view is amazing. You step out you see emirates palace white palace etihad towers and adnoc tower mean you can see best of Abudhabi.
The food is alwaysssss yummiest.
Authentic pakistani cuisine. Fresh taste, freshly cooked, live bbq, served extremely fresh.
Ambience reflects pakistani culture.
Above all, the hospitality is greattttttt, tbh the best hospitality in town, staff is extremely friendly, quick and knows exactly what you want.
They have buffet only, i wish they can make A La Carte menu too.
Must try foods are: Daleem,kunna paya, reshmi kabab, mutton seekh kebab
Biryani im not very happy with it
I have been here more than 10 times before writing this review.
We went their for the 14th August dinner buffet. It was sad to see that the food variety has gone down. The salads have been reduce. Even the main courses. The food is decent and the parathas are good. The food is not super spicy so the kids could also eat it. I would have rated the food 3 start but the 4th star specially goes to the servers. They were super efficient and cared for your order. Due to SOPs the buffet is not self service but their was an attendent to serve you and the did make our experience good. The gulab jamun can use less sugar though. I loved them but they were too sweet.
Lal Qila your finest dining spot for BBQ specialties. Never ending menu list for food lovers with super taste buds. You will find taste in every bite. I went with friends for lunch and had couple of main course. Biryani was good.
BBQ Fish/Chicken super tasty.
Chappli Kababs were tender and spicy.
Restaurant staff courteous and welcoming. Located near Marina mall just across Marina Village - Abu Dhabi.

Kulfi was not available again despite the fact that we asked for it in our previous visit this needs to be sorted out to make sure that we can visit again
Compared to the price they charging the restaurant is definitely worth considering. They have lot of meat options from kebab to curries. Ideal for families.
The rating could get 5 star only if they add quails (بٹیر), Curry Pakoda, Umm Ali, Rice Kheer and sauces again in their menu. I have got opportunity this Ramadan for iftar dinner two times. In first visit the presentation was so disappointing but they managed and improved the following visit. Number of dishes they added after I made request to Mr. Alex after my first visit experience and I'm very much thankful to him that he addressed my complaints and found enhanced menu like qeema, cheese nan, halwa poori, Zarda, lamb kuna etc. At the end the 2nd visit was full of taste with traditional Lal Qila hospitality and Mr. Alex contributed as much as possible. However I would like to strongly suggest Lal Qila management to restore quail BBQ, Nihari and make improvement in desserts menu so I continue to be a valued customer.
Experienced the Iftar Buffet.
Though it is a little overpriced, yet, being the only pure Pakistani cuisine available in Abu Dhabi, it was worth spending.
You can find the real Pakistani taste in all the dishes available.
Found here for the first time the Real Biryani in any restaurant. (Most of them just selling ‘spicy rice’)
Nice ambience: Theme based on the mughal dynasty
Ambiance - 4/5
Service - 5 /5
Food Quality - 4/5
Value For Money - 4/5
Taste of food - 3.5/5
enjoyed lunch with my friends and family would recommend this place for a good foodie...!!!
We had our stop for lunch here during the Abu Dhabi City Tour. They were charging 63 Dhs for buffet for a single person.
The ambience is nice and royal and it was filled with people heavily on the ground floor which made it look like each and every tour operator stop at this spot for lunch.
The resturant haf plenty of options for veg and non veg. The salads and desserts were good in number too. Overall a fantastic buffet spread. The soft drinks and other beverages were included in the price.
The food had almost Indian cuisine entirely. It tasted a lot like the Indian food too which looked like there major customers are from that part of the subcontinent.
A wonderful experience overall.
Lal Qila is located in Marina village, has an excellent buffet. We were there for lunch and the spread was amazing.
Variety of kebabs, curries and desserts to choose from. Also a great assortment of rotis, made on order.
The interiors could be a lot more brighter, but had a good experience
Lal Qila has been around in the capital for ages, and can be relied upon for a good Desi buffet. Although I have been here previously, my last visit was a few days ago with some of my Pakistani friends who were keen to try out some authentic dishes. When we arrived, the restaurant was quite full. we got started on the buffet right away and were quite happy with the choice and variety on offer. My friends especially enjoyed the paaya curry, the spicy chicken korma, the kadhai mutton and the shahi paneer. The kulfi at the end was also creamy and nutty goodness and served as icing on the cake. The guy who walks around doing the shayari/poetry was incredibly sweet and adds a fun touch to the night. We also saw a few tables with people of other nationalities at the restaurant which is always a good sign in my book. Reminds me that food is such a wonderfully universal thing that binds us all together in this wide world. Anyways, to sum up my review, go check this place out :)
We've had a good time at this antient Qila themed restaurant a few times, a buffet that has something for everyone. the food and service both are really good. what adds to the experience is the gentleman who very lovingly entertains with his shayari and sense of humor while we enjoy the food, it was our anniversary and upon being told so he dedicated a lot of poetry to us and made it even more special.
This one's an exciting place to visit for Indian/Pakistan style food lovers. The flavours are good, service is great and the variety is awesome. Don't miss their BBQ. The only thing they don't cover in your buffet is water and drinks which they should have. Do visit here if you're in Abu Dhabi.
We had a delightful and a satisfying lunch buffet which I believe is value for money. You can find a wide range of kabab, curries and vegetarian options along with refreshing salads and soup. Dessert section also had a good variety with lab e shireen a must try. I enjoyed the Paya curry, Achari gosht, cheese naan which is their speciality. Also the fish kabab is something which is not to be missed. Overall a wonderful dining experience.
The Chicken Barbeque and Chicken Tikka is a stand out. The staff needs to work more on their approach to customers as during peak times the lack of service and attention is very evident and not up to the standards. The Food replaces this bit, but with more emphasis on customer service they can be a better restaurant.
I need your help. After enjoying I received a bill. But I need more detal info. to revert back from Company. Total amount including unit price and number of person is required.

Food was very good especially mix platter. It was good experience.
Delivery was 30 minuets late ,but food was excellent. Properly packed, awesomely served 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
amazing food with amazing service
Lal Qila did catering for us this week and it was very well organised. The team was extremely helpful and professional. The food quantity and quality was just too good. I highly recommend them for catering and rest assured you will be really pleased with their service.
Alex, Zia and Dildar were hands-on and arrangement went really smooth. Well done and keep up the great work!!!!
After been waited long finally I got reservation to been there with my family it's Good to had iftar dinner there it's worthy to spend money on this restaurant .........................
We have visited this place several time during iftar time n normal weekends.. tried both iftar buffet n friday buffet.. both are worth for the price.. goid spread with wide varieties of dishes..
We ordered 1300 Iftar charity meals from Lal Qila for distribution. Manager Alex was exceptional in handling our request on short notice.
Each meal pack contained 1 chicken Biryani Box (which was very nice: Thanks to Chef Amir), 1 date, and 1 juice.
They not only delivered the food to Baniyas but also helped us with distribution of the packs.
Not To Forget very competitive rates for high quality food.
Definitely recommended..
What : Iftar Buffet
Where : Lal Qila, Auh
Price: 85 Aed
What we like: The variety of food. Various non veg and veg options. Varieties of salad, starters, soups, breads and desserts.The quality of food, especially desserts was awesome. The chocolate cake and chicken malai tikka is worth a special mention. The view and ambience is on point. And the ever patient and welcoming staffs. Hats off to them for their efficiency.
What we dint like: Water, tea is not included in the buffet. Juices and fruits wer limited (1 each). The spice level of the curries ( too low for our liking).
Just had one visit. To be honest. I had a great experience .. the ambience is amaazing. The buffet😍😍😍. I thought it would b satisfactry. But it was reallyy greatt!!! Planning to visit soon!!
If you want a lot of variety in a buffet this seems to be complete and pls book space if you are going on a weekend it’s crowded and full most of the times ... love the grills , biryani , Sarsoan ka saag and makki ki rotis...!!!
Typical desi food, one can get in UAE. Specially their buffet has a huge variety of dishes which includes everything almost. Gulab Jamun are simply amazing, highly recommended & keep up the good work.
Place was nice and clean. Food was also good and lot of variety,Specially falooda dessert and BBQ real taste of Pakistani food.will comeback soon.
economical and very good taste.
before expected time delivery and fresh food.
excellent service and food tastes fresh upon delivery
every thing is excellent .love it
One of the best Indian dinners buffets.
Visited this place last week with family. We were welcomed well. Since it was a weekday there were veg few people there already. The restaurant is quite famous for the buffet. We were asked if we want the soup served on our table but we choose to get it ourself. We approached the buffet and noticed there was quite a large amount of starters, main course dishes, salad and desert available. The barbecue starter was really good with a large variety, but the starters were cold already when we had brought it to our table. The had a large amount of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. The desserts were also really good. Towards the end they served us kulfi which was from Pakistan, it was simply amazing.
Overall it was a great experience.
The cost was a little too much to what we expected.
Ambience was great.
Service was great.
Simply, amazing place!
We've been here some long time ago, I think it was one of our first buffet in UAE.
This place is special because of the entertainment provided by the staff, and I am referring to the one with traditional mogul costume, which is so interesting.
Restaurant looks nice with traditional details, and food it was delicious and various.
I am really hoping that I will go again, because is something very different, and I am encouraging everybody to go there and be amazed.
I will never forget the place. Back in 2015, I had my first dinner buffet in UAE at this place.
The ambience is simply perfect: good lighting, nice decoration and the traditionally dressed guy who tells stories in Urdu and pulls his sword at you is like the cherry on top.
The buffet is very varied with many interesting options and their grills are simply perfect. The only one aspect which I hope they've already improved is the staff attitude which are barely visible. It's like from the staff, other than the sword guy, no one is there.
I’ve ordered many times from here. Good delivery service. The chicken harabara kebab, green fish kebab & kebab combo are a big hit. Shahi tukra & suji-ke halwa are mouth watering desserts. A good run for the money paid. Best Pakistani restaurant in town.
Good location and friendly staff.. decent variety of dishes. Food was ok but very spicy. Nothing good for kids except French fries.. good experience but my kids didn't eat any thing and they charge half buffet price for my 6 year old kid..
Recently visited Lal Qila Restaurant. They were hosting a buffet then. From vatiety of salads, sizzling kebabs, saccuelant main courses to mouthwatering desserts - most foods were superb that I had tough tym choosing my secong helpings! 😋
For soup they had sweet corn soup which wasnt that great. The salad choices were good especially the Chana salad with Imli and Green chutney! 🍜
Zafran biriyani and Makke ki Rooti with Saag turned out to be my kost fave among the maincouse lot! 🍛
For desserts, their Kheer and Kulfi were my fave. Gulab jamun wasnt up to the mark. I have had better ones. 🍨
Food can be spicy for kids so they had the kids corner serving fried chicken, meat balls and french fries. My son loved that!👶
For the price of AED62 per head it was great choice (my toddler was not charged). 👍
Highly recommend you guys to check out this place! 😊
I love the food of this restaurent. Quality, quantity, taste and services are superb, 10 out of 10.
Batairs are the best followed by other bbq and karahis.

Nice delivery. Very prompt, piping hot food, nice packing, complimentary desserts but above all, one thing that matters the most the palette cares about, taste- great. Had ordered chicken combo, fish combo and biryani combo for delivery through Zomato.
Well balanced spices, grills done to the right point and spice as per the liking, oil level manageable, One thing I always am apprehensive about on take outs , deliveries and especially for desi and even more for so for Pakistani desi is oiliness, But all fears were allayed , no issues . Of course , I had not ordered any gravies today but I am sure they too would also not be ok on the greasiness front. Fish and chips in the fish combo were fried but were good. Biryani has a nice flavor too, but would have preferred it a lil less done.
Good portion sizes and very pocket friendly prices, made even better with the zomato 20% off offer.
All accompaniments - tamarind chutney , garlic dip and yoghurt were all good . Naans were very soft and had a nice taste.
The complimentary rice pudding was cold creamy smooth not too sweet, was relished completely.
Will visit the restaurant whenever can, but would keep ordering in the meanwhile.
If you want great variety of desi food including Buryani bar b q. Awesome mutton curry and Haleem fired fish this the place to go. Hands down best desi buffet you will have in Abu Dhabi. Qulffi (ice cream) is served once requested.its is a must try. I have been going to this place for a long time never been disappointed with the food quality or the lovely staff.
One of Best Restaurant in Town, Superb food, and service, excellent location, specially Qaiser Restaurant Manager has excellent customer service skills, he is the man check all the guest service satisfaction.Definitely will come again, really enjoyed it.
A unique royal experience awaits you and your family here. The buffet is quite reasonable and extremely delicious with a variety of awesome finger licking dishes. Lesser price for kids. Adding to the spice is "shahenshah Akbar" in traditional moghal costume, who'll entertain you with some quality sher o shayari. Superb place.
Great service, delicious food and clean buffet area. Had an amazing Friday lunch with nice atmosphere. Only real criticism I can pin point is the biryani is not that good. But overall the food is fresh and flavorful, especially the cheese naans and fresh bbq. Keep it up and hope to visit again soon.
Must try are Kulfi shake , cheese and Nutella bread. Ambience is cozy. But if you are a vegetarian you would rather want to go somewhere else. I just wish they had more veg options.
Went there yesterday for Independence day dinner organized by ICAP Abu Dhabi Chapter.
Food was great.
Hospitality was superb...
They had some arrangements for Azaadi dinner.
Really felt like attending dinner somewhere back home in Pakistan.
It was heart warming to sit down for a meal on a National day with fellow countrymen and talking as we have been knowing one another for edges.
Good Memory and off course good food.. :)
it was our first time to try lal qila. and since today was independence day so we had a solid reason to try their buffet deal which was quite reasonable and we actually wish for that rate in normal days so we can benefit more from this place.
the venue is ok seating was fine. buffet had large variety, half of it i couldn't try but was impressed with whatever i tried. biryani was a total waste to eat. it was more of a boiled rice. but!! karahi won our hearts. it was super yummy and i loved their hot naans served right on spot. sweet section was actually very good, highlight item was the qulfi.
special scores for the service they provided, right from greeting us warmly to providing us our table and serving us with full respect and hot food + cold ice cream on table. they impressed us with their very nice service. thank you for having us on board and serving us so well lal qila staff :)
Awsome food, value for money. Staff is good, but shayar is a repeat telecast. Shayar not spontaneous, food cant be any better at this price.
Purely value for money and known for its uniqueness. The creative impromptu Mughal poet helped make this place more lively with his witty words. Once you get in you feel like a Mughal guest yourself. Unwind with family and friends.
بوفيه للاكل الباكستاني لذيذ يستحق الزياره
