Dropped in to this place for the first time yesterday for dinner. It was quite neatly maintained. We ordered Tandoori Roti, Peshawari Chicken Kadhai and Butter Chicken. The service was quick, the food was tasty and the staff were courteous.

This is purely based on vegetarian food that I had. We had tea, mushroom and ladies finger gravy with tandoori and romali roti. It was good and the tea was great as-well.

A gud place to eat when your budget is low but wana have gr8 food. I see many workers here eating but the food is family quality. They have a separate seating for families as well. Try their kabab kadai which is a new added dish and is awesome in taste

Absolutely love their dishes here. Their curries and kebabs are a must try. I can't count how many times I've been here. Meal for 2 usually comes under 60. And it's totally worth it. Service is prompt on weekdays as during the weekends it tends to get crowded.

I can be very short about this Karachi Darbar experience: value for money!
Portions are generous for the price you pay and good taste and fresh products.
Staff is just not that talkative and did not inform us that the mint raita was spicy with chili's, so you better be aware or ask.

Place is more clean than I expected.

Coming back for more!

Pakistani food for a reasonable price with not so friendly staff. We tried many dishes and none were necessarily breathtaking, they were all very good and filling. Would suggest trying Mutton/ Chicken Peshawari and aloo matar. Again parking is a challenge.

This is the best Karachi Darbar outlet across UAE. The food they serve here is just too good whether it is the hot and fresh rotis or the thick raita they serve before the meal. We ordered Dal mash fry, Peshawari mutton kadai, chicken tikka, chicken biriyani, curry pakoda and mutton kebabs along with fresh rotis. The Dal mash fry and roti is the perfect combo. The gravy of the mutton kadai was really tasty but, some pieces of the mutton weren't that easy to chew. Curry pakoda was just average and the kebabs were like the ones you get in any typical Pakistani restaurants(not much of a wow factor). The chicken biriyani is a definite no-no next time. It was very blank and lacked flavor. The prices of the items were really reasonable and portions were good. The downside is, not all the items in their menu are good. Stick to the few popular ones and you won't be dissapointed. Ambiance and service is good. Sometimes the waiters take time to come and check if you need anything else though.

Karachi Darbar for an early dinner in their Ghusais Branch was where we landed. Post some work we had to finish up, we were close to that area and hence decided to dine in there. As Karachi Darbar have many branches in Ghusais, this one we dined was close to the Sharjah exit near Ghusais Industrial Area. The place is divided into 2 mainly catering to single people who dine at the left side of the restaurant and the right is mainly for families. The difference shows in the way the 2 places have been done up and the contrast is huge standing in middle of the restaurant.

At the time there were not many tables full in the section where we dined, which was the family section and we ordered the items pretty quickly.

1 Chicken Tikka

1 Peshawari Chicken Kadhai

2 Rotis

The order took about 8 mins to reach our table. They have a hierarchy in terms of service as the people who take the order are different and the ones who clean the table are different. They are the ones who serve Salads and Raita in case you want them (which is chargeable). The Chicken Tikka was perfectly barbequed. It was soft and was juicy which is how a perfect bbq chicken would taste. The 2 rotis where fluffy and soft and the best thing about these roti's is the size of it. It is huge and can fill you up. Teaming it with the tikka will surely fill you up. The Peshawari Chicken Kadai like many other dishes is served in a kadhai. The best thing about this steal kadhai instead of the porcelain ones is that it keeps the food warm for long and asethically looks good as well. The Peshawari Chicken Kadhai is made in thick gravy which is not very spicy and has a tomato tangy taste to it. The chicken pieces are a few and is easily shareable with 2 people if you are not a big eater. The food was great and like our many experiences in other Karachi Darbar the experience was good.

The place is huge and can accommodate close to 80 pax. The best part is the level of service. People are good and they’re check in case you want anything and also at the end of the meal if you are looking for something sweet to complete your meal. Few things like these from places where you are not expecting much but just food comes as a pleasant surprise and is more than a great change which helps bring a pleasant experience from a place where you actually just went to have dinner.

We tried this restaurant few days ago. Ive ordered food from here a couple of times. But it was my first time dining in😊. Restaurant was really spacious, with good ambience and it was pretty much packed. We had mumtaz chicken kebab, chicken mughlai and mautton kebab kadai. Food arrived on time...and all three dishes were super delicious. Only thing which i felt was the serving staffs are having a hard time...coz they r only few in no...and the restaurant was packed with customers and i felt sorry for them🙁..

Enjoy the paya and halwa every Friday morning only available...

Haleem is sooo tasty, Nahari is their speciality and remember that you can enjoy it for breakfast, lunch or dinner!!

An amazing tip, order their amazing bread "Romali" and you can have it in Freezer to enjoy it anytime with basically everything!

Real authentic Pakistani joint. Love the breakfast provided and have almost tried everything. Chana, Kheema,Haleem, Paya, Nihari, Aaloo paratha, Kheema paratha , meethi lassi, and hot Sada paratha's are real kick starters of the day.

Looking for some biryani u got it. Chicken,Mutton,Fish u got it all. Love the variety of chicken and mutton curries available .

Has many branches all over UAE but must say taste remains the same.

Assalamwalekum, I have always liked karachi Darbar grill items but had never tried this place before. Yesterday for iftar order the chicken sheek kabab, shaami kabab and haleem. The taste of the food was similar to their other branches. Loved the sheek kababs they were too good perfectly cooked with proper masalas. The haleem also was good. For the shaami kabab the chana dal was used more then the mince which I hope they can take care. Also while ordering I had asked for chapli kabab which they don't make. Will be good if they include in the menu. The delivery as said was on perfect time. Overall satisfied.👍☺. Extra point for sheek kabab.

I like their food but everything is so oily. Their food has a traditional touch and they're very tasty no doubt. And the best part is that it's not expensive at all.
Their ambience is just ok as it's a very small restaurant.
Try their tiffin items, parathas and kebabs. Their Chinese is very average.
I would recommend this place to everyone..

Late Thursday night 12.30 after shopping I dnt want to vist any fast food joint which is opened 24 hrs. I craved for proper dinner, Karachi Darbar was my choice which is usually opened till 2.00 am. I love Pakistani food, this KD branch is the most often visited place wHich is close to my place.

This branch is spacious and have good family seating when compared to others a bit colorful decors. KD offers good Pakistani food for reasonable price, now the rate has been revised in their new menu. Waiters are always humble, my favorites are

For BF - Puri Halwa, Kheema n parotas, Nihaari
Raita
Shahi Haleem
Sheek kabab
Chicken kabab
Peshwari mutton are recommended
Chicken 65 is not good.. Was full of red food color..

This time they had a new menu, tried their grill combo which comes with mixed grill platter, roti or rice, raita, daal, gulab jamun n Pepsi...which is perfect for 2. Grill was so soft n mild spiced my kids loved it...

The KDR chain of 20+ restaurants is pretty consistent in their offerings. Infact if you are a regular you would notice staffs being rotated across most branches. I ended up meeting one particularly pleasant waiter (Asad) across 6 outlets. And he remembered what I ordered every time. They serve tasty Pakistani dishes that are both filling on the stomach and easy on the pocket. Certain favourites Butter Chicken, Chilly Chicken, Chicken Tikkas, Seekh Kababs, Kardhais etc. Breakfast is a sniff to the pocket with a full meal under 10dhs/- Aloo Parathas, Qeema Parathas, Plain Parathas and weekends special Halwa Puri. Food varieties are as many as leaves on a tree but the important thing is they remain consistent across all branches. Certainly helps if you have a central kitchen with tentacles reaching out. Every meal time is a crowded affair. But service remains quick always. After a full meal the Sada Chai is a must-have. For that price and flavours its difficult to complain about anything.

By far the best branch of Karachi Darbar, never have I been let down by their Peshawari Mutton Karahi, the crisp Tandoori Rotti or the chicken Tikka, also try their chicken 65. THE BEST PLACE TO HAVE PAKISTANI CUISINE.

With multiple outlet & centralised kitchen KD is a ideal restaurant to cater your need for Breakfast , Lunch & Dinner.
The taste is uniform in all the branch due to its centralised kitchen. Have visited KD for breakfast , Lunch & Dinner.
My few favorite dishes are:
Breakfast: Kheema, Haleem, Kaleji, Chana Dal served with Paratha. They do serve Aaloo Paratha, Kheema Paratha & Egg Paratha but I found better taste elsewhere.
Lunch: Mix Dal , all their Mutton Dishes, Butter Chicken are my favorite.
Dinner: Their Grills & regular menu dishes.
For vegetarian also there are lots of variety.
A ideal budget restaurant to satisfy your taste buds in Indian , Pakistani & Moghulai Cuisine..

Every time I visit the place, I automatically orders mutton biryani.
Once I made a change and tried mutton afghani. Believe me - it's the best mutton dish I have ever had from a Pakistani hotel, it's filled with mutton pieces and dry fruits.
Try for mutton afghani or Kashmiri with CEYLON PARATA. You will love it
And don't forget the mutton biryani ( only if you love Pakistani dish )
Lacks cleanliness.
