Delicious food that was very affordable and friendly staff and owners. Atmosphere was nice and relaxing
Recently went for Friday Brunch at Giftos, they’ve a deliciously curated menu, that has both breakfast and lunch items several of them included in this table serve brunch concept.
There’s a chat trolley with live service included in this brunch. It’s a complete package absolutely worth the price.
Highly recommended for family and friends gatherings.
They’ve a open kitchen concept so you can see how clean and hygienic they are. And also advance reservations are recommended.

Incredibly delicious Indian food! We ordered the chicken tikka, lamb gosht, lamb biryani and kachumber salad. The staff were very friendly and nice. Their service was wonderful and prompt. Great price point for such high quality food. Can’t wait to go back!
Looking for a place with finest Indo-Pak cuisine? Do check out @giftosdxb, to feel the authentic flavour in their dishes. It takes you back home with every bite. I tried their Behari Kebab and Reshmi Kebab both of which were incredibly delicious. The marination of the chicken to the combination of spices everything was just perfect. Authentic flavour in the grills was an added magic plus the chicken was soo succulent. To have a sweet end to my visit I had their Falooda and must say it's something to die for😍😍😍 Overall, everything was fantastic from the ambience to the food and it's service. Highly recommend to visit this place with your family or friends.

Amazing, fresh food! So tasty and staff so lovely! The meat filled samosa and chicken karahi were fab!!
One of the best Indian cousins, fresh food , nice ambiance, highly recommend
Its just awesome foods i love biryani and lamb matka handi ...
Delicious Indian food. Arrived piping hot and soooo tasty. Chicken Korma and Biryani were very good. Onion Bajis also very good
We are regular customer of Gifto’s
If you are craving authentic desi food; look no further. Today, we ordered charsi chicken karahi and peshwari mutton karahi. Undoubtedly, both were the best we had in Dubai. Highly recommended.
Mahmood is highly sough after manager. He knows how to treat his customers. He took the order over the phone, and personally ensured it will arrive on time with the utmost quality.
We loved the food, and would definitely recommend others to try their best selling Karahi(s)
Beautiful taste. Continuing the journey from my childhood in London over here in Dubai.
Having lived in Dubai for the past seven years nothing comes close to the British taste of curries that Giftos delivers consistently. It’s our go to place and the service is fantastic, especially Mahmood’s friendly and welcoming attitude.
Must comes once full of joy very nice place food was really great
It was a great experience definitely comes again
It was an awesome experience to dine here right from the warm ambience, the decor, the polite and friendly staffs and servers and obviously not to forget the delish food. Special mention deserves to be made for their biryani and charsi chicken. Also the desserts were beyond delectable. It's a really beautiful place to visit with family, has a good vibe, absolutely marvellous outdoor views. Chef Faisal came to our table to check on the food served and that made us feel so delighted and special. Thanks to him for adding stars to our experience of dining here. Would definitely love to revisit. Keep rocking you guys! All the best!
Chef ihaure Amazing way of Speaking. Thank you very much.
It was an awesome dinner experience here. Such a good positive vibe when you see lots of family people sitting around and enjoying the food and service. I would to mention special thanks to Chef Faisal and person in charge Mahmood. Both of them personally approached the table to check on everything. Such personalised service even when restaurant was full. Wish you all the best GIFTO's team. Keep up the good work.
Its just awesome i never ever see a biryani and curry like Gifto's really amazing tastes like our home country food delicious 😍😍
2nd time dining their compared to last time the standards have been raised significantly. Revamped menu and all of the food ordered was of the highest quality. The manager was very attentative and provided us with a 5 star experience. I definitely recommend dining here whether a group of friends or couples, the food is remarkable!
Great lunch spot
Ambience
This must be the most modern, fanciest looking and cleanest place in its category. They have really cool copper design features and very cool copper tandoors. The seating is amazing, the service impeccable and always a manager there for a good chat. The view out on the Yachts doesn't hurt either.
Food
Honestly this is one of it's kind. All the meat and shrimps we had were super high quality and my personal favourite feature is that they offer chicken tikka of purely breast pieces, which comes on a sizzling plate with all the imaginable trimmings.
Price
They are zomato gold member and offer 20% with that, so that's a good note to end your visit. This will definitely be my regular spot
Lovely karahi and biryani tried it for the first time today in dubai marina

Absolutely Excellent Food, My spouse and kids visited this restaurant from the UK and the food was amazing, the quality of the ingredients and meat were top notch, i'm a regular at gifto's in Southall and the branch in dubai marina puts the southall branch into disrepute, even the owner and proprietor of Gifto's of southall doesn't eat in his own branch in Southall he walks across the road to witan and eats their. The Karahi ghosh is far more superior than the london branch, lamb chops especially, the south all branch lamb chops are terrible compared to the dubai branch, the presentation of the food and service of the food where the food is placed positioned correctly around the table by the waiters reminds me of a restaurant i went to in belgravia london called sunloos, outstanding food and service of gifto's in dubai Marina the manager Mr. Bharat a UK national really made myself and my children very welcome, making sure the food was exactly to our tastes and satisfaction. Mr bharat even spoke to all of my children and even presented them with a gift at the end for all the children. Honestly of all the indian curry restaurants ive been to in dubai this beats them all by far even beats the uk curry restaurants i've been to too.
Giftos of London is definitely one of my most favorite restaurant for Indian and Pakistani cuisine, i love the authenticity and efforts made by the team to work only perfection in each and every dish they serve, I am a big fan of their Mix pakoras and live chat they serve. Simplicity of each dishes are beyonf perfection. The meats used by Giftos are indeed fresh and moist that one can feel it each bite. This is on top of my list forever now. Kiddos to Barry for taken care of each customer visiting the restaurant.
It was a very good experience the ambience and food amazingly well specially BBQ and chicken charsi .Chef Faisal ,uwaid and niaz they are really did a fantastic job specially thanks to them will be back soon..
Indo-Pak Cuisine restaurant with a cozy ambience. Great Hospitality, staffs were always by the table giving comfort, explaining the dishes and suggesting the best sellers. They have an open kitchen concept where you can actually watch your delighful foods getting ready. Overall the food were amazing, fresh, and yum. Not to forget the chats and pani puri, they were so tasty and made fresh. I would highly recommend this place 😍
This place is truly amazing! We were a group of 10 and the restaurant staff took care of us very well. We ordered the family mixed grill (which really filled us up and we took home leftovers even after 8 people ate it), chicken charsi, veg kofta curry, many different breads but the one that stood out was the Peshawari naan which was recommended to us by the restaurant personnel. It was amazing with a sweet taste as it was topped with nuts a sweet syrup. Really unique way to have your naan! Special mention to the chicken charsi which was made to perfection!
We also ordered rabdi kulfi falooda, gulab jamuns and ras malai however couldnt take pics as we gobbled everything up. Really amazing and highly recommend to everyone. We will definitely be back soon!

A British curry house that is truly a hidden gem serving the best of Indian and Pakistani food in a true British style. The interiors are pretty and the service is impeccable. We were served by Ubaid who not not told us about the history of the place but also ensured that we were absolutely comfortable.
I was here this afternoon and absolutely loved everything we tried here, that we cant stop raving about this place. The ingredients are fresh, the meat is very well marinated and cooked; the flavors are perfect. We were told about each of the chefs are well experienced in the Indian and Pakistani cuisines individually and how they have years of experience at the family owned outlet in London.
We started the meal with a fresh Pineapple juice and a Mango Lassi. Both of these were freshly prepared and tasted great. I've never tried Meat Samosa chaat earlier and I had it here. A unique creation, this one stole our heart. From the soups we called for a Hot and Sour chicken soup, this one is made chinese style and was perfect for the weather.
From the BBQs we called for the Tandoori mixed grill, this platter is an absolute treat. With a mix of meat and chicken kebabs that are well marinated and cooked to perfection we couldn't have asked for more.
For the mains we called for a portion of Lamb Peshawari with mixed breads, Butter Chicken and steamed rice. The Lamb Peshawari is one of their signature dishes that has tender cubes of meat freshly cooked in a thick tomato based gravy with some great flavor and spices served in an authentic wok. The Butter Chicken is also freshly made and is not the regular pre-mixed. The flavors of the Butter Chicken took me back to London.
It was really tasty and all meet was fresh , i loved Papri chaat .
Thanks Giftos
Loved the food at Giftos Of London Restaurant located in Marina. Beautiful ambience, views and lovely staff. We started our lunch with few drinks and loved Strawberry Daiquiri & Virgin Mojito. We tried Panipuri, Dahi Puri, Papdi Chaat and Aloo Tikki Chaat. All were yumm but aloo tikki chaat was awesome. For the main course I tried Sarson Ka Saag, Dal Tadka & Paneer Bhurji. Must try Gajar Ka Halwa in the winter season and also Falooda Kulfi !

Visited this gem of a place located in Dubai marina which serves you some of the best indo-paki food out there. All of its dishes are inspired from its UK origin which might not be totally authentic, but I bet you it's a treat to your taste buds.I tried their Behari kebab and Reshmi kebabs for starters both of which were mouthwatering. I would definetly recommend you to try out their Reshmi kebabs ,the speciality of this dish is the 48hour marination it goes through which absolutely has the chicken melting in your mouth. Moving towards to the mains i tried their Sarson ka saag and Butter chicken which were amazing along with some of the best naans I have tried in Dubai.The naans of this place actually define the taste of a dish. If you are having a spicy dish, you could go ahead and order a peshwari naan which a slightly sweet naan sprinkled with ground nuts and garnished with coriander. Highly recommend trying all their naans. All in all it's a place definitely worth visiting with your family and friend. Enjoy the amazing amibence of the place. I would also like to point out that they do serve in large portions which turn out to be quite filling as well. You could also awail a 20% off on using the zomato gold.

It is such a lovely place to hang out even alone.
My current favourite things are Papri chaat, butter chicken and king prawn fried rice.
Papri chaat is such a fun evening snack. The khata metha twist in the chaat is all I need here.
Butter chicken has right amount of thick gravy with shreded chicken. The best part is that chicken is not sweet and not spicy ofcourse and just perfect.
King prawn fried rice can be the perfect ending meal as it is best in quality and quantity.
Everything was fantastic at from the service to the decor to the food, everything we had was incredibly delicious!
All the meat used in the restaurant is fresh from the market daily, they don’t use frozen meats and even the spices are freshly grind and the breads made from scratch in the kitchen, all the dishes tasted homemade with love unlike standard restaurant meals. And the butter chicken tasted heavenly and like nothing I tried before, the chicken just melts in your mouth and even the meat
They really catered to my allergy as well and they make sure that their kitchen is cross contamination free and they clean and sterilize all the cooking equipment to make sure of that. The prices are very reasonable and the restaurant is group and family friendly and they have a beautiful view of the marina, and this is their second branch after London
Analyzing food and amazing team.
You will love the ambience, friendly & assistive staff, delicious food, lovely view since its comfortably located at Dubai Marina, We've had a couple of dishes here starting with starters - Veg alongwith Nonveg Giftos special Soup followed by Aloo Tikki Chana Chaat, Papri Chaat, Pani Puri Drinks - Mango Lassi, Strawberry Darquiri & Mojito Main course - Daal Tarka, Chicken Biryani, Shahi Paneer & Tandoori Mixed Grill P.S: Will be adding more pictures shortly... Also pls feel free to like & follow my instagram account www.instagram.com/shutterised
My first time ordering from Giftos ! Dishes ordered - Chicken Peshawari and Maghaz Masala, with different pieces of bread - paratha, roghni naan, naan and roti! Both dishes didnt fail to please the palette - and will definitely order again! Paratha was amazing as well and reminded me of home made parathas!
Visited this restaurant with family. Ordered Daal Makhni, Veg Biryani and Roti. Everything was tasty and much better than we expected. Staff was friendly. Overall a good experience. Can be recommended.
This place is delicious and deserves a lot of attention and a great review. The restaurant is beautiful and men and staff dressed the part. Unfortunately, they’re on the bend of the “new” Marina Gate towers in marina and might not be as familiar to people who don’t venture past the first roundabout. For me, it is so nice to have a quality Indian/ Pakistani in the neighborhood! I ordered online after a long day at work and it was delightful. Even though I eat meat, I opted for some veggie samosas and sag paneer spinach curry. Everything was delightful, flavorsome and piping hot and fresh. I’ll be dining at the restraurany itself next time. Thank you for your wonderful cuisine!
The food is delicious and the meat is always cooked incredibly well. Everything is seasoned great and not oily. A hidden Dubai gem.
So I heard from a friend about this restaurant and we had tried some of the very yummy dishes and to be honest I and my friends loved the food.
So for the appetizer, we tried pani puri bhel puri papri chat and aloo tikki chat and simply loved their papri chat and bhel puri mouth watering 😋
For our main, we tried chicken charsi, lamb Matka handi, tandoori mixed grill. If you're vegetarian you can try their gobi and Dal.
The highlight of all was the Peshawari nan you must try it.
For dessert we had Gaajar ka halwa, kheer, and kulfi.
Gaajar ka halwa was amazing 👏
Over all the ambiance nice and the stuff we're super friendly and helpful we will definitely go again 🙂
Founded in 1968 by the brothers Mr. Arshad Mohammad and Mr. Abdul Rahman, Gifto’s started off as an ethnic grocery store, catering to the growing local Asian population by supplying the finest quality groceries from India and Pakistan. We started with this delicious Papri Chaat. Then we wanted to have a salad and we chose the Tabboule that was in the menu despite that the Tabboule is not an Indian or Pakistani Salad but we wanted to eat some greens with our meal.
Having visited the original restaurant in Southall, we had high expectations. Today's visit exceeded all expectations, from the high quality food, to the attention to detail and care by all members of staff to the ambience. Barry you have done an amazing job in ensuring customer satisfaction. Well done Giftos for bringing a taste of home to Dubai.
Best Indian Pakistani restaurant in Dubai! The service is impeccable and the food is just amazing! The chaat, and grilled starters are just perfect, and the curries and biryani is even better! Would definitely recommend to all!
Festive season calls for binging on delicious and comforting Desi food. Since last week I’ve been visiting Indian restaurants to satisfy my festive cravings. Recently visited the newly opened Gifto’s of London, an Indo-Pak restaurant from London for dinner. Located in Dubai Marina, Gifto’s is a spacious venue with modern decor and comfortable seating area. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. It is a perfect place to share a meal with family and friends.
Popped in for dinner, the service was good perhaps almost over the top as they kept coming over the table every 5 min asking is everything ok. Meals were a bit oily and rich but worth a try.
Delicious food. The staff are wonderful and attentive too. This will be our new regular go to for when we have friends over or if we fancy a takeaway. Butter chicken, King prawn masala and Papri Chaat are a must!
We had a great dinner at Gifto's. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was fantastic. Each item was superb. This was one of the best curry dinners we have had in Dubai. I highly recommend this lovely restaurant.
Have dined-in as well as ordered take away from Gifto's and both times I was not disappointed! The food, ambience and service was amazing!! A must try!!!
No frills but good food, even better service!
Special shout out to chef Prince who made us fantastic pani puri / dahi puri. Have the kheer. Forget everything else, just have that kheer ! Honestly the tastiest kheer I’ve had in Dubai.
After being a regular customer at the southall branch for years we had to visit this!
The location is amazing especially with free parking for 2 hours. The food was really fresh, tender and full of flavour. The restaurant definitely had a nice family-friendly vibe.
The staff were really kind and best of all the owner made us feel welcomed.
To end the perfect meal he even gave my daughter a bowl of icecream on the house!
We’ll definitely be returning soon 🥰
An honest Northern Frontier Indian-Pakistani cuisine restaurant.
All curries are made fresh - with high quality ingredients, and cooked with love!!!
Great value for money, high quality food with 5 star decor and engaging service!!!
Indian-Pak food with British flair!!!!
Gifto's of London is an Indo Pak Cuisines restaurant situated @ prime location Marina walk .

Let me come to the main thing--- FOOD.

On and on 100 / 100
Supperb...food and friendly atmosphere....Such a nice place...best timeplace for family get-together...had lots of fun....thanks to zomato to help us to find such a nice place...
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Absolutely blown away! The mixed grill was plentiful and flavoursome. Only criticism would be the lamb chops were mutton and there wasn't much meat on them. I personally prefer a proper lambchop cut. The fish was soft and nicely spiced and the family mixed grill was enough for 6 adults easily
The staff were attentive and ensured they understood our spice preferences before preparing the food
The mango lassie by the jug was a hit too, creamy and thick but fruity
All of the breads were hot crispy and buttery. The 3 curries we ordered were soooooo good. Lovely thick sauces and nice soft chicken and lamb pieces. Even the dry okra curry was in a delicious sauce. Highly recommend the chicken jalfrezi and the mutka lamb
The manager in charge was warm, welcoming and clearly passionate about the gifto's brand. Definitely felt like a piece of that Southall magic was amplified on the Dubai soil
Look forward to returning with family or getting home delivery to sample more of the menu!
Please please please start delivering to the JVC community !
Exceptional.
We went on Sunday afternoon for an Eid Lunch with friends. The restaurant is set right on the waters of the Marin. The staff greeted us with warmth all wishing us “Eid Mubarak”. We started with a mixed pakora basket the pakoras were crisp and delicious so we ordered 2 more!! The next was the family mixed grill which was served on the table in a bbq type grill, as soon as the lid came of the smell of all the meats got us salivating! The meats were cooked absolute perfectly I kid you not this was the best I have ever tasted anywhere. For mains we had the house special peshwari lamb, I can’t actually explain how good this was it was fresh, full of flavour and just amazing. We had dal tarka and adraki aloo gobi which were again delicious. A special shout to Khalid our waiter who was exceptional always smiling. Also the manager Barry who was funny, chatty and attentive. This is must place visit in Dubai not once but time and time again !!
Gifto’s of London is one of the best place for Pakistani food as taste just like homemade. I had dinner today with my family with decent environments and staff are very professional and very helpful and friendly. I start with seekh kebab . When service staff came with sizzling hot plater seen was awesome. Their Daal Makhni and outstanding chicken Biryani is our all time favourite .
The restaurant is well setup with glowing lights. The staff welcome us in very friendly manner and did us with choosing best seller.
Overall a place we are definitely looking forward to visit once again, worth every penny.
The manager behave is very nice and polite nearly finished food he came for feed back about service and food is ok .
At the end , the mango lassi served on the host 😍
I will highly recommendations to my friends for this restaurant❤️
The best Pakistani food I’ve ever had in the UAE! Beats all the Pakistani restaurants I have tried! The service is amazing, let alone the food! The food was mouthwatering and delicious! Definitely recommend!
WOW - 1st time in Gifto’s and won’t be my last!!!! Beautiful new restaurant, very welcoming and friendly staff. Terrific Menu and amazing food. A happy customer.
Amazing food. Amazing service and hospitality. Couldn’t get the name of the server. He was very polite and attentive. Sorry for lamb shank pic. It looked and tasted too good to waste time taking pictures.
Highly recommended.
The name delivered it right - gifts to my stomach, we tried this newly opened restaurant in marina and it was totally worth it. The cuisine is fabulous, everything on the menu is delicious. We ordered for chicken Britain,tikka kebabs and chicken hand with naan. The spices and taste was good. For the desserts we opted for Gajar ka halwa I.e the carrot pudding, it was one of the best I have tried upto date. Warm sweet with dry fruits served in a brass bowl,giving it an antique look.
The staff were very polite and friendly and attentive. They were asking questions to make sure the spices are right as in medium spicy or normal as its Indo-Pakistani cuisine and they are very spicy.
I highly recommend this Giftos of London, if you are looking for the perfect desig evening dining experience in Marina with taste soo good.
A great place to spend some quality time with family. Good food. Takes us back to some flavors back home. The aloo tikki chaat and gajar halwa are worth a definite try.
Hi, my name is Johnson from Australia I really loved Asian food but I haven't eat nice food in my life before but I went Giftos of London in marina walk today I had mix grill there and some main course it was really nice never had in my life before it was Owesome food was good and service staff really friendly and helpful really quick service..manager was good too i suggested to everyone go there and try really nice food and good service staff
One of the most authentic desi restaurant in Dubai. If you are looking for a pure desi dhabba style food with a fine dining touch - look no further!!
I am a huge fan of Gifto’s in Southall, visited this place today with the same spirit to try their famous Peshwari Karahi, it’s amazing. Highly recommended!
One of the best indo-pak restaurants in JLT- Marina area. The food and the service was just awesome. Quite decent options of vegetarian dishes. Great location overseeing the marina waters.
Giftos of London is an Indo – Pak cuisine restaurant. After having an immensely successful thrall in London, it has opened its doors at Marina Dubai, just 7 weeks back. They provide a find dining experience by not burning a hole in your pocket. You would be greeted with warm smiles by each and every server present there. The Restaurant Manager, Mr.Bharat, can be seen catering to every single table. He would be recommending the best dishes in the menu, making sure you are being served hot piping food and asking you if the dish is as perfect as he has made sure it is. You can see how passionate he is about food, his guests and the restaurant in the way he talks. We witnessed a par excellent service after a really long time in Dubai.

Quaint and attentive
What did I see?
A comfortably sized restaurant with a modern contemporary style. Tables are a good size and will hold multiple orders comfortably. Chairs are comfortable.
How did I feel?
Staff are very welcoming. They were friendly and smiled a lot. Our Server Khalid was amazing. He was very attentive and constantly checked in to see if all was well. He knew we liked the food spicy and he made sure the order was to our expectations. Ask him about the special spicy sauce which they keep at the back. It’s delicious!
The owner Barry came over to have a chat. Lovely guy and took a genuine interest in getting to know us.
How was the food?
The mixed grill was easy on the eye. The portions are generous and the lamb chop was the star of the show for me. You could tase the flame grilling and it was soft and tender. They have a great selection of sauces which are tasty and add flavor to the food without overwhelming you with a burn
The lamb briyani smelled amazing and looked delicious. The meat was soft and tasty and the rice flavorful with just the right amount of spice.
Come here if...
You want to go to a nice place where you can have a decent conversation over some good food which won’t break the bank.
So what’s the verdict?
I hidden gem in the Marina that’s as welcoming as your mothers kitchen. The people there are friendly and welcoming. The food is delicious and great value for money. The staff threw in a free mango lassi when they knew we ordered the extra spicy sauce. This was a nice touch. I would recommend that people try Gifto’s out. I’ll definitely be back.
Gifto’s of London is one of my favorite Indian-Pakistani restaurants in Dubai! Our experience was great and the food was delicious. Right from the starters, we tried the Lamb Chops, Reshmi Kebab and chicken tikka - everything was freshly prepared and spiced to perfection. For mains, we had the chicken tikka masala, karahi gosht, lamb biryani and Peshawari naan. For desserts - you must try the Kulfi Faluda and rabbdi- the best in town !
Hurray Marina residents !!! You have a new scrumptious eatery next to you. I completely agree with the fact that the newly opened Gifto’s of London is a delicious gift to the Dubai Marina inhabitants. Placed facing the pristine waters and the enchanting skyline of Dubai Marina, Gifto’s Of London is an Indo- Pak restaurant (the London on the name can confuse you) that will completely satisfy your spice cravings.
