Reviews ‪karachi Darbar‬

I really really love this place, the service is quick, food is great and it’s not cheap. The staff is very courteous only if the gravy in the dishes could be increased that would be great. My all time favourite here is mutton peshawri and roti. A must must try

When we are in the mood for some good Pakistani cuisines, the first place that always pops in our mind is Karachi Darbar Restaurant. My family and I have been frequent customers at this eatery as far as I can recall and their dishes have remained the same throughout with no changes in taste, ingredients and flavours, now that’s something to look forward to. A successful eatery that has been passed down from father to sons, defining the simplicity of this cuisine has been their top priority. Here’s what our desi cravings settled on(read way below on the other recommended dishes we enjoyed):

‘Chicken Achar’: I love this dish solely due to the inclusion of pickles in it, pickled mangoes to be more specific. I am a fan of tangy/sour food, and this right here just does it for me. The chicken(bone in) is cooked to tenderness with pieces of mango in thick gravy, the spices are on point, the subtle sprinkle of herbs on the top, believe me, the pickled flavour does not overwhelm the entire dish at all. What’s even better is this delicacy is also sold in Mutton, yes!.

‘Prawn Masala’: glad to find actual prawns in this dish, unlike other places. Juicy prawns cooked in thick gravy infused with curry leaves, aromatic spices and fresh ingredients. The simplicity of this eat goes well with a plate of rice, bread or even some hot roti. Seafood done right!.

‘Chana Masala’: I love all sorts of lentils, they are too good and yumm. As is the delicious case here. Chana Dal cooked in thick semi-spicy gravy will have you scrapping the bowl down-to-the-end. This is perfect to have with any dish as a side or even a main.

‘Mixed Fried Rice’: a generous portion of rice tossed with carrots, green peas, fried egg, slightly sautéed chicken and decent sized prawns. This is our go-to dish whenever we drop by the eatery. The flavours are effortless and it’s good enough to be shared with 2 people. They also have Mixed Fried Noodles that is equally as delicious as the rice.

Our dinner was accompanied by our most favourite breads, Rumali Roti and Tandoori Roti, just the right match for the gravy’s on our table. There are so many scrumptious eats to try here, and these are what I recommend, Chicken Tikka Biryani, Shahi Haleem, Palak Paneer, Nihari, Keema, Butter Chicken, Chicken 65, Chicken Afghani, Chicken/Mutton Tikka, Mutton Paya and Chicken Kadai.

For the love of authentic desi eats.

People looking for a economy meal must try Karachi Darbar joints. The quantity would be enormous for the money spent. Pakistani cuisine at its best in here. Their breakfast menu is the cheapest one around UAE. Biriyani, veg dishes and roti also falls on the price range where everyone can afford. Definitely must try joints in UAE 🇦🇪.

Wow !!!!. This Place is Amazing place for a get together for a mast group of people. Can Easily Accommodate around 75-100 in the 1st floor. The Ifthar Arrangements were very good. The Chicken and Mutton Byriyani were simply Delicious. Its So Amazing that , U are not able to eat anymore for Sahr. The newly renovated interior drags you innnnnnn.

Karachi Darbar has reopened its Al Muteena branch as a 2.0, a total revamp and relaunch of the super successful, affordable Pakistani franchise originally established in 1973. Hey, hold on, the UAE wasn’t even around then…hmm. It took a while, but you just have to see this place – it’s so different from the rough, Pathan-masculine image most KD outlets have had throughout the years. In addition to being all fancy and clean, it’s also very obviously family focused – a complete floor is dedicated to ‘family’.

One of best restaurants to eat Pakistani food and many other. We frequently this place at least twice in a week. Grilled chicken. Butter chicken and even the Motton dishes are the best. Though they do not have the brown roti the food is quite good. Service is excellent n fast n friendly.

Malai kofta is fav main course for me good restaurent for north indian people who look for punjabi restaurant in dubai. Fresh food tasty food. The only thing i dislike is they charge for salad .although price is very reasonable for everthing ambiance is also nice Seprate family room .

Just when you think Dubai isn't the place anymore for a good hearty meal which doesn't burn a hole in your pocket, your search brings you to Karachi Darbar. While the one in particular I choose to review is the Muteena location, I've heard the same general consensus about its various other locations. The look and interior has changed a bit over the many years since their establishment in Dubai. They can also boast of an ISO Certification in adding to many years of their presence in Dubai. I've been frequenting KDR for years, i finally decided to write a review.

On with the food. Its YUM. Enough said. It was just me and brother. We ordered Chicken Tikka pieces and prawn fry, which they claim is marinated in their special KDR Recipe. Both of the dishes came within 10 minutes and were well cooked. The prawns were good, but nothing special. The Chicken Tikka was fantastic, tender, well marinated and cooked evenly.

For the main course, we ordered Chicken Muglai and Mutton do Pyaza. This was accompanied by Tandoori Roti's and a. simple yet tasty item called Keema Parata. All of it came within 15 to 20 minutes (The mutton took some time).

The dessert here is an absolute favourite of mine and a hit with many people...The Kheer. Another item they claim to be cooked using a special KDR recipe, this dish is delicious. To those who have not tasted it before, it is has a pudding texture with ground nuts. A fantastic way to end the meal.

Although the service may not be so great at times due to the number of customers, the food will leave you satisfied for sure and making you want to return for more.
