If you would like to eat the authentic yummy pakistani food, then this is the place to be! As we entered we had the cashier ushering us to the family room (which you hardly see in any resturant in dxb). My hubby tried their Chicken tikka and Chicken katta kat and I had their yummy dal fry woth roti! I must say we have never had this tasty pakistani meal ever.. i must mention that their staff Happy (his name) gave us a very good service and was so honest in letting us know that we should not be eating the mutton kebabs since they had beef mixed in it. Special thanks to Happy!
Also met the owner there who was kind enough to come to our table and ask us how our meal was.

We are going here again for sure!

Overall i must say the food and the service was 5/5! Well done team Faisal! Keep it up! 😊

Tried out their katakat and Shinwari mutton karahi. Mutton was so tender it melts right away. Katakat was very flavorful and fragrant. Highly recommended for a truly authentic experience.

Best taste with mild mix of spices, feel like home in Dubai. Recommend to all desis to try Tawa chicken, Malai Boti and one & only Takatak. What Takatak.....go & try it only in evenings.

I've been here quite a few times with family & friends. Their Katakat and Magaz Karai are extremely authentic and rich in taste (make sure to mention less oil when ordering).

The staff is very friendly and respectful to their customers and have always been so welcoming to myself. I'd like to thank Mr. Ali as well who has been of great help in making sure that the restaurant keeps its standard by good quality of service, reasonable prices on dishes, good quantities and authenticity of taste.

Would definitely recommend the restaurant to family and friends who enjoy pure Pakistani dine in.

I love food cooked on tawa so i tried their tawa maghaz twice and it was awesome i really love it and have this once a week.
Today i tried katakat and it felt like the best katakat in uae for sure i have tried katakat at many places in uae but this was the best reminded me of karachi :)
Seating arrangement is not that good for family but if u want to have full desi food then forget about seating and focus on food ;)
Highly recommended tawa maghaz n katakat 👍👍👍👍

A place which is not to go with ambience but for the food they serve. I was lucky enough to try the fresh lassi they serve here which really thick and creamy. Unfortunately this review is just about lassi and will update once I go for a meal.

A hidden but surprisingly great little restaurant in Deira. They cater more for bachelors but there is home delivery as well. The service was good and the food comes quick and hot if you live in the area. They are a budget-friendly place, but they make up for all the things they compromise by serving good quality food.
I ordered the mixed grill since I didn't know what to try, and roti to accompany it. The variety of items is nice and the portions are good for one or even two people. Two curries are given with the grill which go great with the meat. Their rotis are huge and so soft, plus they taste really great. I highly recommend trying for some budget food with great taste.

I have been there on very heavy recommendation.
If you going towards floating bridge, before DNATA signal there is Hyundai showroom on right hand side. Behind hyundai showroom on your left side you will see Faisal Restaurant. It is basically a small restaurant, mainly for bachelors. But small curtained family hall is also availbale. Ambience is as per its type.
Sitting capacity is sufficient. Waiters are little slow.
We ordered chicken tawa. I had never ate such tawa before. It is served freshly cooked and the best part is that its served on tawa. Spices were up to mark. One serving is sufficient for two hungry foodies. Serving is with raita and salad.
Pricing is justified. Infact I will say its economical.
Surely i will recommend it to foodies. Adeel Ahmed

I give this restaurant a perfect 10 for its food. Katakat served here is the best in town. I was especially surprised to have such a delicious chicken boneless katakat. Barbecue mutton masala is also with apt spices and very different in taste. Bihari kebabs don't need teeth involvement at all as they r so soft and tender. You will find the taxi drivers eating at the joint but believe me that they r the best ambassadors when it comes to food. This restaurant is renowned for its fresh food served as the menu changes everyday. Oh forgot....do try the Yakhni mutton Pulao as well.

This restaurant is located very conveniently for corporates working near Diera area . In the afternoons the places is packed ,and because of their flavour in food it's packed ,and people prefer to wait . The butter chicken masala is my personal favourite ,it's not like the usual butter chicken as this is little spicy and filled with flavours . The mutton talla huwa chops is superb . They have rotis which are served with it . Chicken biriyani is a must try .there is a vast menu for vegetarians also .

Heard alot about this restaurant over the years, and finaly gave it a go. The food is great!!! One of the best katakut in town for sure. I ordered mix katakut (without kapooras), chicken tawa and daal, all really authentic and nice. Very economical. More of a take away place for families as the dining area is quite small and not up to the mark.

Indeed a good place for Pakistani food. Their "Tawa" items make them unique among others, "Karahi" dishes are just normal but reasonably tasty. They serve the good quantity and portion of food. They should focus on Chapati or Roti, mostly they are served cold and also not made to the perfection seems they take it as ordinary. Food taste is enhanced with freshly baked bread made to the perfection.

If your looking for pocket friendly best Pakistani food in dubai , close your eyes and without a second though head to Muhammad Faisal . They truly serve food which is excellent and incredible in taste whether it's there Kadai dishes , gravy or tandoori . They do not dissapoint you at all . Staff is quick in service . They have a seperate section for family where you can bring them and dine in at this place . Chicken Kadai , Mutton Kadai and tandoori chicken is highly recommended at this place 👍

What a find !! This cozy little restaurant close to the clock tower in Deira possibly serves the best tawa dishes (katakat) that I have had in Dubai. Brilliant !! After hearing about this place in my foodie circle, I finally decided to trek it down with my friend this evening. Google maps came very handy. We ordered the chicken katakat, seekh kebab and mutton achari with crisp tandoori rotis. All three dishes were really good but the katakat chicken was something else !! Amazing !! Ordered the kheer and kulfi to top up meal which were really good as well. I sure am going back for more and I highly recommend it to you as well !!

The best tawa item in dubai. Desi katakat on the tawa with buttery taste and lip smacking raita. I bet if you like raita you will ask for more. One is never enough. Now for the VEG people. Bhindi fry on monday and tuesday is the Best thing you could get in town be there before 2pm otherwise you will miss the fun of bhindi and raita with hot tandoori roti all less than 10/- dhs

Something weird has been happening, my reviews keep vanishing ... Or maybe I wrote them in my head only...
So here goes my take on Muhammad Faisal, this place sells THE BEST TAWAs ever, be it organ meat, chicken or meat, no one does it as good as them.
I've tried their mix tawa, chicken tawa and meat also. It's oiled and cooked to perfection.
Parking can be an issue and there's a very small family seating area so weekend with family isn't advisable, so go during odd hours to park n eat peacefully. It's too economical to even mention the prices.
Go ! Just go and thank me later !

If you are in Deira and haven't eaten here..you are clearly missing something.
Location wise and ambiance is a big let down. Its just too plain and simple.

My driver eats here regularly and when he treated me because his daughter passed in engineering exam. We went for the dine in option and as I mentioned before the ambiance did not really excite me about the food. I was low on hopes but still waited for my order.

we ordered khadi pakoda which is a special only on tuesdays, paneer bhurji, chicken biryani, rotis, soft drinks and gulab jamuns.I was just a bit bored waiting for my food and was browsing through my zomato app. I found out that this place is in the hidden gems collection of Zomato. Kept wondering why would they include this tiny restaurant in hidden gems.My thoughts changed as soon as I tried that paneer bhurji and khadi pakoda. Man that was just too too good! my driver friend had the chicken biryani that he loved too. Takeaway is the best option here..
Few let downs, the service is super slow because they are so many walk ins for tea/coffee and snacks. I waited for my rotis for a while before someone could help me. The gulab jamun was disappointing. 

All in all, for a small restaurant, its busy and jam packed at times but very popular among nearby offices. The food is good and delicious

Killer Pakistani style food. They bring the food in the dishes it's cooked in, for some dishes. The keema, kebabs are awesome. Biryani can be tricky, so if you like it spicy order a curry as well to balance the Flavor. The seating options are quite un-conventional, so don't be surprised if someone comes and sits next to u, without your consent. Dead cheap.

Update Jan 2019

Service has improved dramatically
The staff as well as the gentleman at the counter were super friendly and genuinely welcoming.

We had the maghaz (brain fry) and bihari kebab which were both delicious and served piping hot. Their rotis and salad were great as well.

Wanted to try their chapli kebab and rabri but both were unavailable, alternatives were offered.

Would highly recommended this place!

Location: Depending on the time of the day, it could be quite challenging


Ambiance: Not the best of places at par with mainstream pakistani joints, expect to see a lot of taxi drivers (good sign as far as the taste goes)


Service: Quick, friendly and efficient



Menu: Classic pakistani, the tawa food seems to be their signature creations


Food: Greasy, oily..all the usual connotations you place on Pakistani food..but man is it tasty !

Very low cost and no ambience but just good tawa dishes, dont try anything else because rest all dishes are ordinary and taste is not good. I enjoyed tawa dishes and also not a place for family, mostly workers. Yes take away is available and i now want to try breakfast some day.
