Authentic Pakistani food. Love their white karahi, Biryani (mutton/chicken both) and barbecue is yummy too.
Just one complain is that sometimes they take long on delivery. If they could improve their delivery time that would be great. Still giving 5*

Special Meal 2
It is best if you are looking for budget friendly meals.
It includes chicken biryani, chicken handi, chicken malai boti, roghni naan, raita, salad and cold drink.
Dish Name : Chicken Handi
The star of the meal is chicken handi. It is the best in the meal.
Dish Name : Chicken Malai Boti
It is a average dish. I have tasted more better and succulent malai boti than this.
Dish Name : Chicken Biryani
If you are looking for a good flavourful chicken biryani then this is definitely not the one. It is below average. The chicken has no flavour and is very dry.

I have been eating from this amazing resturant since last two year. I have tried most of the dishes and every dish is recommendable. One of the top performers is Chicken/mutton Podina handi..you must must try it
Staff is friendly, hygiene is good
They need to work on delivery time.
Apart from that everything is good

A hidden gem in sharjah indeed. Went out with 6 friends . Don't expect the ambience to be luxurious, but hey its all fine and fine when the food is super great. Nann, mix tikka grill, chicken kadai , wheat roti ,nihari and chicken biryani. Believe me people one of the best Pakistani food you'll ever have. Everything was super delicious and fresh. Recommend for friends and family too.

Sorry i didn't get time to click pictures when was with friends to this place but do have pictures when placed online order to be delivered ( a meal box) .

Authentic Pakistani cuisine, Very good restaurant and good taste. Always there is too much rush for take away orders so keep patience for that. Unlike other Pakistani foods you will feel less oil in their dishes. Must try is aloo paratha, paya, chana and halwa poori on fridays and the latest Barbecue items.

Been here this evening with my uncle and cousin and met the owner also. Chef Mr. Farooq has magic in his taste.

Parking is bit difficult to find except paid parking lot next door.

Food is very tasty specially the seekh kebabs and roghni naans with fried fish.

A must go there if u really want to get real Pakistan food taste.

For sure shall visit again.

I stumbled upon this place while looking for good Pakistani food and what a great find I must say! There was no place to sit for the family so I had to opt for take away. I caught a glimpse of a lunch box which was so reasonable I almost immediately went for it. You can see the picture of the lunch box. Chicken biryani , boneless chicken handi , malai boti, half a roghni naan salad , raita, kheer and a can of Coke all for 15 Dhs!!!

Plus I also ordered the chicken keemay wala naan, as that's one of my favorite items.

The biryani was average. Not the best I've tasted but not bad either. I got a mild biryani flavor in the rice. The chicken malai boti was cold and hard and I didn't enjoy it because it was over cooked. The boneless chicken handi was an absolute winner! The only thing better than it was the roghni naan. I have to say I haven't eaten softer roghni naans anywhere. They were so fluffy it felt like biting into clouds.

The chicken keemay walay naan was okay but it would've been better if there was more chicken stuffed into it. The kheer was also delicious. And I couldn't even try the Coke because I was so full plus I knew I dont have to review it coz you all know what Coca Cola tastes like! :D

There are a lot of items in their menu that I will be trying out over the coming days like shami kabab, karela gosht , murgh cholay, paya, paratha , and halwa puri. But judging from what I tried I've started having high expectations of this place and would recommend everyone to try it out.

If you are looking for the best paratha's and lassis in the neighbourhood, its JUMA.
Their aloo and kheema paratha are really good served with curd.

A bit hard to locate but worth the effort. I took a takeaway for 2 which consisted of Half a chicken tikka,rotis and alu mutter. The chicken was well done and still mosit inside. The alu mutter was so good that i will rate it well above the chicken. A hidden gem by all means.

After listening to quite many friends and reviews on Zomato I finally tried food from here recently. Now I am thinking why I didn't tried it before. If you're looking for a Pakistani, Lahori taste this place is highly recommended.
Home delivery service is also quick and accurate.

More then anything else the paaye are awesome here, if you're a Lahori person who loves paaye, try is a must

A quaint little joint that serves good paranthas. Their aalu paranthas are yummy n a great value for money.. i also particularly like their dal mash.. which is perfectly done n spicy.

Update: 11 Feb 17

Tried Sarson ka Saag and Kadi - must admit - Saag is the best i hv had in UAE. Not the tin one but fresh. Pleasantly surprised!

One of the cheapest and best restaurants in Sharjah. The quality and taste of food is really good. I usually order the special meal with ½ chicken biryani and handi with 2 nan and a drink and I love it. The chicken might be a little hard sometimes but it's good usually. I also love their other specialities like beef nihari, chicken tikka, qeema paratha, etc. The qeema paratha is very tasty and quite fulfilling for the breakfast.
The only negative thing about Al Juma is the rice they use to cook biryani.
Overall a very good restaurant.

The good things..
Aloo parathas for breakfast.. Very good.. Not at all oily.. Price is fine (Aed 4)..
Halwa, puri, chana on Fridays also very good.. Price wise also excellent (Aed 7)..

The not so good..
Dinner was Mutton Biryani, Chicken Qorma, Champ Masala, Roti, etc.
Qorma was below average.. Nothing special.. Champ was decent (definitely better than the Qorma)..

Now the main.. Biryani sucked.. Meat and masala were fine but the rice was the culprit.. Definitely not Basmati (was fat and slimy).. Maybe that's why Parag mentioned that the Biryani wasn't as expected.

Bottom line.. Definitely recommended for breakfast but other than that everything else is very normal.

Friendly and helpful staff, clean but small interior. Will give a good rating for the excellent and cheap breakfast.

Note: The location is now updated.

After reading review on Zomato & Ali giving approximate location I decided to order for Friday Dinner. I must say I was not disappointed. I ordered their special meal which had 1/2 portions of chicken handi & biryani with 2 nan. Worth for the value of money charged( AED20). The chicken handi was boneless perfectly cooked with soft nans. The Biryani was disappointment for me having eaten at various places in Dubai & Sharjah. Also reviews by other zomato member mention about the breakfast saying it is serving the best paratha in Al Qassmiya...so for foodie like me a visit is must... Hopefully will put another review on breakfast dishes next week..

The food is excellent, especially the morning aaloo paratha. My children love it. It is a must in our weekend breakfast.
The delivery is also prompt. But unfortunately they have a very little space for dine in customers.

I came to know about Al Juma restaurant through a friend and she specifically mentioned that Al Juma serves the best paratha's in Al Qasmiya area within Sharjah. I took her advice and ordered Aloo Paratha and Qeema Paratha (minced meat). The delivery was prompt and on time and I was in for a very pleasant surprise when I saw the sizes of each paratha...they weren't big...They were GIGANTIC!!! and I felt 10 dirhams for 3 Gigantic parathas is nothing short of a special great deal..Where can you get such great quantity tasty north indian/pakistani parathas at such a great price.

The parathas were served with curd (raita) however my recommendation would be to try the parathas especiall aloo parathas with some great mango pickle (aam ka achaar) to get the best flavours. In the end.. a wholesome enjoyable experience of desi parathas at a great price.

I would definately recommend Al Juma to all in Sharjah..do give them a try for their parathas...I am personally ordering again and looking forward to trying their chicken handi and karahi next time around.

My Ratings:

Value for Money 5/5
Taste of Parathas 4/5
Quantity: 5/5
Overall Rating 4/5 (Great)
