We’re surprised this restaurant has been around for 3.5 years, as we hadn’t heard of it until now. Urban Cook House (UCH) serves up North Indian and Indo-Chinese dishes; a hidden gem that boasts fresh food cooked from scratch and a very cosy atmosphere.
Great food! Naveen and Tom took great care of us. The service is great but can be a tad bit quicker (especially the drinks; food I can understand if it takes a bit of time). The menu is so extensive that we need to come back a few times to try it all. Overall a great evening!
Brilliant service by Naveen with quality food, great texture! Would recommend the chicken lahori!
Butter chicken naan and the shrimp biryani both were their great dishes!
A good outlet for mughlai food. Food pricing is reasonable as per portion size & the service is really very courteous. Special thanks to Naveen.
We have visited this place earlier as well but we always like the ambience, taste and courtesy of their staff. We were attended by Navin who was all smile during all the time we were there and he is surely a value addition for a hospitality outlet based on his courteous and pleasant handling of customers.. food was tasty as usual and this place is highly recommend and value for money.
It was a really great experience. Just been here twice but I’d definitely recommend the restaurant. The staff are very kind and polite especially the one who served us(Mr. Naveen)
Should absolutely try their biryani and their lahori chicken gravy is best in town!!!!!
One of the finest restaurants near my office and our regular place for team lunch. The service is good, and all dishes are very tasty here. The staffs are kind and helpful. I ordered Tawa roti, Prawns masala, ginger tea. My colleagues had Mutton Briyani, Gobi Aloo adraki masala, Lakhnawi Chicken briyani, Punjabi Pindi Chana, Butter naan, Garlic Naan and Home style Chicken Curry.
Prawns Masala: Nicely cooked prawns in a spicy curry
Tawa roti: Hot and soft tawa roti
Ginger Tea: Nice
Hygiene - 4/5
Taste - 4/5
Ambience - 4/5
Only suggestion is to improve their preparation time. Pricing is quite average and overall a nice experience.
Delicious butter chicken biryani. Excellent service by Naveen, he was prompt and courteous. Will come again.
Good restaurant for dinner with a wonderful ambience, Food was tasty and the service was quick and good! Naveen was very attentive and gave us good service
Naveen was very helpful and i always meet him when i visit the place
Lovely discovery ! UCH is a fairly new restaurant serving Indian and Chinese cuisine.
This restaurant is big and spacious with seating capacity of around 65 people. The decor is beautiful with a casual vibe. This restaurant boasts inside and outside seating facility. They have put a lot of efforts in the dishes they serve and the efforts are truly commendable.
We tried non veg platter, everything served in it was delicious especially the seekh gilafi. We also had fish amritsari, which had a melt in mouth tenderness, the chaat masala sprinkled on it just enhanced its taste to the next level.
For the main course we ordered for Peshawari buna gosht and fish curry goan style, both were sinfully delicious.
Ended our meal with stuffed mawa gulabjamun, it was something different from the regular gulabjamun, must say it was truely amazing.
Definitely worth trying out soon.
Great good, great service! Naveen did fantastic! It is always a pleasure to come to UCH for our lunch...
We’ve visited urban cook house in Karama near post office and i have a lovely dinner together with my family this restaurant is a must try one..
Visited this place for the 3rd time and the service was beyond amazing. Mr. Naveen was our waiter for the evening and he was extremely hospitable and made sure that we were comfortable and satisifed at all time. Thumbs up for the great service.
Made a quick unplanned visit to this cozy joint.. The menu was not very exhaustive but the food was rely good!! Steaming hot Tomato Soup was a real boon for the weather and the Lahiri Chicken was enjoyable with the freshly made tandoori roti. We chose to sit outside to enjoy the weather. Naveen served us well and we left after a satiating meal!
Really liked the food for the price. Quantity was not too much. We liked the Navins service as well. Cute little corner place, worth the price.
The food and service was excellent, Naveen was outstanding in taking care of us and service was super quick. Loved the overall experience. Recommend to visit UCH.
Fist visit and it was awesome perfect food, nice ambiance politely staff special naveen must visit soon
Been here several times.. food , ambiance and service is soo good .. especially that guy Naveen.. too good
Loved the food! We ordered a chilly chicken for starters and chicken manchurian and fried rice for main course.
Excellent taste. Our server Ravi was a gracious host.
Definitely coming back again.
The food was great and Naveen’s service was excellent. Murg. Lahori is a must try.
Everything was perfect and amazing service by Naveen bhai! Thanks to urban cook house for the wonderful service and good staff
Awesome food ....finger licking good....
Grilled prawns and laknawi jhinga biryani is too good.... staff is nice and ambience also very cozy and perfect....Naveen was also too good 👌
MS. Rose deserve this rating
Lovely food and peaceful ambience with good music in the background.Apt for a good conversation over a delicious dinner👍🏽
Quantity of the kabab vs money portion wasn’t fair to my experience. Ambiance was good, taste was fair. Water bottle plastic wasn’t up to the quality mark as i when i tried to pour water in my glass it felt like the bottle is being used previously..
Great place the atmosphere is nice and the staff is helpful and welcoming, the portions are good for the price. I recommend this place for a quiet dinner
I’m so glad I was invited for dinner here. Situated in a corner near the Al Karama post office, this Indian restaurant is one for keeps. The ambience and seating is okay and portion size of the meals are adequate. Loved the seekh gilafi and the papri chaat, however the star was the butter chicken naan..drool worthy. The home style chicken curry was a let down but the jeera Pulav saved the meal. Good service and polite staff and a great night.
Very nice food and great decor with friendly staff, the gentleman who served us Mr Naveen was very polite and courteous. Definitely recommend the place for food and ambience 🙏
Was near the place looking around for some bites and found this restaurant. Ordered 2 chicken sandwiches which came with fries.The taste was okay. The place is neat. The staff are friendly. Might visit again to try the main course.
Daal makhani and kofta dil kush were fabulous, but the best part was the service from Naveen. I am a regular guest now due to taste of the food and the perfect service. See you soon again
We ordered dynamite shrimps, mutton seekh kebabs, chicken momos and butter chicken biryani. The quality of the food was good however, the ambiance of the restaurant and the service is excellent. Nabin, our server was extremely courteous and hospitable. He really made every effort to go out of the way to make our experience memorable. Would visit again.
Very good hospitality and delicious biriyani.. must try the chicken biriyani..Thank you Bipin!. would love visiting their again.. one feedback though.. i visited last saturday and found the restaurant closed despite the time being post 10 AM. while the website says open time is 9.30 AM
Been here today
Food was good
Ambience also was nice
Staff were very polite (Mr.Naveen) 4.5
Very knowledgeable and explained it very well
We had paneer as starter 4.8
Main course we had latchcha paratha , roti and Kadai vegetable 4.5
All dishes were delicious
Good food especially their tandoor dishes. Good service and ambience. Not too crowded and accepts Zomato gold. I don't recommend for a special occasion but for a casual lunch or dinner.
Dear Nabin,

Super happy with Mr. Nabin's service.
Nice place for food prospective.
Very nice food and special thanks to Naveen for his friendliness and polite service. Always visit here with family and friends. A must place to visit to taste fine Indian food.
Great food, we ordered Chinese and Indian food. The taste was great. We used our Zomato gold for 2 appetizer and 2 mains. Will sure visit again.
Just had a dinner. Very good food. We follow certain diet and chef made the dishes as per our instructions. Try once if you like Indian food. Thanks Naveen. Look forward to come again.
Amazing food. Starters are brilliant. Loved the ambience. Navin, our waiter was great help with selection of the specialities. Definitely going again soon.
It was our 1st time at this lovely restaurant...the food was very tasty with a wide choice of menu and the service impeccable by Nabil and his team!!
Definitely the 1st of many visits...keep it up..
Visited this little known place right next to the Karama Medical fitness centre. What a hidden gem !!
Ordered Ajwaini fish tikka, Chicken tikka and paneer palak.
Attended by Mr Naveen who was very pleasant and very accommodative
The fish tikka was simply superb !!!
Paneer palak was very fresh and tasty
The chicken tikka was very juicy and tasty , but have to say the portions and size was too small.
Their tandoor bread was crisp
Overall it was a fantastic experience
Looking forward to go there again
To mention they have a very big TV screen to add to the experience !!!
Very tasty food and the service is amazing. Special thanks to Naveen our service guy. The veg and non veg options are good and value for money.
Even though it was our first visit, I can surely say that it is an absolute treat to dine at Urban Cook House.
Commendable service, Pleasant ambiance, ease of parking, and last but not the least...Great Food!
Adding to all this, you also get to watch the cricket match!
Do try this place for awesome North Indian food at a very reasonable price.

Food was vdelicious. We tried aloo gobhi, veg biryani n pudina paratha. Staff was very friendly and attentive specially Naveen..will definitely recommend
Butter chicken is my favorite thing to have . This place serves really delicious butter chicken. Also, in drink jal jeera is just so good. For desserts, Gulab jamun is a great option.
Amazing food with super friendly staff..
Value for money..

Food was amazing! And thanks to Naveen for wonderful service
Would like to come again to enjoy delicacy of urban cook house.....
The veg spring roll were very tasty and hot
We went for their iftar buffet yesterday. The place is cosy and staff are very polite. As we went a little late, they served us the buffet items on table.
It started with some watermelon juice followed by freshly made samosas, bread pakora and mini chicken cutlets. All very tasty. Then came the kebab platter with chicken and mutton seekh kebab, fish tikka and chicken reshmi kebab. These were well cooked, super soft and melt in the mouth kebabs. The main course was chicken biriyani, dal makhani, Chicken Lahori n butter nan. Though the biriyani and chicken Lahori could be better.
For desert we had firni and fruit custard.
All the items were unlimited.
Overall, a great value for money place with some very tasty dishes like chicken cutlets and kebabs.
Must try.
PS: With gold membership, you get 1+1 on buffets.
Amazing food..refreshing drinks..food...calm environment, friendly staff...food was served on time...we shall visit again....keep up the good sevice..
We had been to this place for Friday evening iftar, and must say admist all the hussle bustle in karama I was so surprised to find this quiet cozy little
Resturant. Even though their iftar buffet doesnt claim to have lot of items , the items in the menu are sumptuous beyond words. The starters were hot and served on the table by the friendly staff. The shammi kebab was to die for . The fish and chicken tikka was spiced to perfection. The main course included lip smacking biryani , chiken curry and assortment of rotis served at the table. We ended the iftar night with soft and hot gulab jamun . The custurd was also amazing !! All in all a must visit place for delicious food
Had one of the amazing ifthar buffet menu in urban cook house, great hospitality. Would definitely recommend everyone to pay visit for the amazing food.
Great iftar offering.. Both veg and non veg.. Staff was very polite and helpful.. We were served and given amazing hospitality by Mr. Navin. Thank you!
Great food and amazing experience overall. Recommended for iftar menu. THe staff is also very polite and accomodating. The shami kebabs and paneer were the best
Lovely ambience, 5/5 for that, food is good for people who want real food like one would cook at home, I came for iftaar, while I can comment on the minimal side on the verify for main course It is a lot for the price, platter was my favourite of the bunch followed by the deserts, try the firni.
We tried the iftar buffet. It was absolutely amazing. The quantity and quality of food were also really good. Our server Naveen was also very hospitable.
Well to start with the Fry's what served as free was full of oil, literally oil was dripping. When we informed the stewardess, she didn't bother. Starters were good and so the main course.
Very good food! Beautiful ambience. I had gone for the non veg iftar buffet which is very reasonable after using Zomato gold and the staff and Mr. Nabeel were very courteous
Thank you, Nabin for the outstanding service as always. Feel great to be here with consistency in food taste and quality.
Had butter chicken biryani and fish curry amazing taste.
Had an amazing food and even better experience at Urban Cook house last week. The dishes are authentic as well as unique and they offer a great variety in the taste of different dishes.
We had Mutton biryani which was amazing along with the best Keema Mutton I had in my life. Super thumbs up for the place and as well as for the super polite staff!
Good service, professional staff and friendly. Environment is good. I enjoyed the food. Tasty and clean food. The options for combo meal is good. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.
Visited the place for lunch and ordered the veg dishes like veg kabab and panner masala
Liked the ambiance and food too
They have zomato good offer so use it to the fullest and enjoy the meal
We went last week to UCH and ordered chicken Dynamite, nalli nihari and chicken tikka masala with butter naan. Food was awesome and worth the value for money we paid.
I came here early on a Friday morning with a recommendation from my friend n was not disappointed... Great food with great service from Nabeel totally made my visit worthwhile
Amazing food....friendly staff .....specially our server mr Nabeel was very prompt with his suggestion and helping us get the right food! A must visit.... !! Kudos
Food and options were great. We went for a lunc buffet and there was more than what we intended to have. Naveen was very courteous and superb in taking great care of us!! Appreciated !!!!
Went again for fish chargrilled and tandoori chicken. Tandoori chicken was awesome. Naveen was very courteous once again.
Went for dinner with family (4) on a weekday. As there were no other customers sitting, we were quite sceptical. The ambiance was quite good despite the place being small. We ordered Fish Chargrilled, Habiba Chops, Chicken Lollipop, Murg Tikka Masala, and different kinds of breads...
All the items were delicious, freshly cooked and presentation was also nice...
The staff were quite friendly too...
Overall a very good experience and would highly recommend this place...
Price was also economical... Under AED 200...
Food is amazing!Taste and quality of the food is consistent everytime we come.Ambience is excellent. LOVE the Chinese triplet..reminds of the bombay street chinese food but with good quality.Naveen was good with the service.Definetly worth a try!
The food was yum and the staff was incredibly friendly and sweet specifically Nabeen Sir from the staff who took care of our taste buds and helped us through the menu one by one.
This was our first visit and were welcomed by staff. We enjoyed food, ambience and hospitality. We were served by Navin and ordered based on recommendation and no regret and enjoyed food. Zomato Gold was applicalbe which was added benefit.......We plan to visit again
We dined at urban cookhouse this afternoon with our kids and we had such a lovely experience. Naveen is such an accommodating server and was very helpful and loving. All thanks to Naveen.
Called to order for delivery and was impressed by the efficient person answering the phone. They did not have boneless mutton biryani but obliged to get me some. The food overall was tasty and the quantity was good. The lucknowi chicken biryani was simply delicious and I will be going back for more!
Great service especially from Naveen,he is always there to greet us and serve us happily,and he always has best suggestion on what to eat. Awesome food and value for money. My son loves Chinese the most over there. Can go N number of times 👍👍.
