‪ashrafi‬

One of the best places around airport and in general around Garhoud area.

They are very well known for their special Mutton biryani.

It's one of the best biryani in Dubai, my friend was brought me here and he recommend me the biryani and it was super. I finished my biryani with mint tea, it's nice. They have good service and it's open for 24 hours. I recommend this biryani place when you're getting your lunch or dinner, its tasty and super delicious.

Just tried mutton nihari.. omg it was awesome in taste. As per me, this is one of the best north Indian mutton nihari in Dubai. This made my day.. highly recommended :)

Since I am perpetually singing songs in its praise, friends invariably ask me, if they don’t already know, where Ashrafi Restaurant is located. I tell my friends to ask me where Dubai airport is located instead. And when they do, I tell them that Dubai airport is located near Ashrafi Restaurant. That is how much I love Ashrafi.

If you are a diehard prawn biryani lover and haven’t tried the Special Prawn Biryani at Ashrafi, you can only be pitied for your lack of direction in life. Grow up, buddy! Venture forth into a paradise of delightful delicacies. Delve into the mysteries of deliciousness beyond compare. The prawn biryani that Ashrafi serves up is, to me, the emperor of all things edible.

You better order it only if you are with a friend and if both of you haven’t seen food in the last three days. The serving is huge! The serving dish does not look anywhere as threatening as when one of the well-mannered gentlemen there in their neat uniform serves the biryani out onto your plate. h

I have always looked out for and homed in on with unerring precision into every cabbie joint in every city I have had the good fortune to infest. Ashrafi is one such, if Dubai is where you are at the moment of culinary indecision. If you are picky and pert and proper and genteel and fussy about the environs, Ashrafi has a fine dining section too, next door to the cabbie section.

I prefer the cabbie section over having to hobnob with huge egos and vain talk. The banter in the cabbie section is more earthy, lively and full of unbridled guffaws. The sophisticated silence of the fine dining section suffocates my free ribald spirit, and besides, I usually saunter in to any food place, dressed to kill food, not hearts or egos.

Stop distracting me with talk of manners and mannerisms. Let us get back to the prawn biryani and the brawn of each prawn nestled in all that saffron-suffused basmati rice. They are huge. They might easily be the sumo wrestlers among prawns. And they taste as grand as they look. Succulent, cooked just right and dripping deliciousness to the core!

The masala is perfect, pardon my lingo. The spice is just right. And it is served with raitha made with love. The Karims of Delhi who manage Ashrafi have my vote as being true altruists who do humanity more than their fair share of generosity and kindness in sharing the taste of this signature dish with such rich tradition and goodness in every morsel.

You can ask for paapad and if your appetite is about as huge as greedy old mine, ask for their chicken tikka (I prefer the boneless variant) or the shaami kabaabs or Ashrafi’s celebrated sheekh kabaabs. I love it all best with the Coke that they have in the colonial-style bottles with the crimped vacuum cap that needs an opener to let flow its magic.

When a week of having their prawn biryani - which can be enjoyed with a spoon and fork or a knife, that allow you the freedom to use your phone if emergencies need your attention - has satiated at least a tiny percentage of my insatiable palate, I tuck into their Daal Tadka and Roti.

Buddy! You will bless the day you first broke Roti when you try this traditional combination perfected by the magical masters who are often buried by their own culinary brilliance under tons or dine-in, delivery and take-away orders.

In austere times, when one might have to eschew more fanciful gastronomic delights in favour of humbler victuals, the simple daal-rice combination that you can enjoy here will remind you of happy childhood days when you cared less for the epicure or the epicurean in you and more for your friends waiting to play cricket in the gulley. Once in a while, it is nice to remind yourself of those wonderful days.

Get a life. Dive into Ashrafi with your tongue lolling down to your belly button. Both will thank you for your good taste. As will your heart, mind and spirit. Bon Prawnatit! Or Bon Kabaabatit! Or Bon Daal Tadkaatit! Whichever it may be, it is always Bon Ashrafiiiiiitttt!!!!!

Bon Stay-at-it, if you would like to stay fit and fine after your fill. The ingredients they use and their culinary ethics leave no chance or room for food safety doubts. I’ve been tucking into more than all the delights I have mentioned above, since 1998; and with respect to the delicacies that they serve at Ashrafi, the only physiological complaint that I ever had - or ever will - is that I have only one tummy!

To add inspiration to indulgence, Ashrafi welcomes those of good taste, right round the clock. I usually sail into Ashrafi at about three in the wee hours, after having worked late into the night, or after a debauched evening of revelries on town, with equally debauched friends, to restore whatever tissues were sacrificed on the altar of debauchery!

I love my food delectably delicious. You, too? Tell me about it on 00971-50-653-8035, email jimmy.arujo@gmail.com, or check out www.RedPointAds.com right now! 😊🍦
