a small joint tucked in a peaceful corner of uaq. the place is small but no congested with a seating capacity of around 20 ppl approx. there is noting fancy about the place , the decor is reasonable, seating comfortable and the food is good. the staff is really friendly, they know about the items on menu and clearly ask you about the spice level of those dishes that are freshly made and can be customized. the owners take special interest in your feedback for improvements where required.
chicken karrahi : was the best i had in uae so far, it wasnt the re regular karrahi that you get everywhere with few pieces of chicken buried under loads of tomatoes / tomato paste or tomato puree. it was proper karrahi perfectly spiced. (i asked for a little extra masala in karrahi as i dont like it dry unless its lamb karrahi )
mutton karrahi: again similar to chicken karrahi it was not the regular stuff, the meat was really tender , not overdone at all perfectly spiced garnished with ginger and green chilies , a perfect treat.
haleem : i guess it was chicken haleem and it was reasonable, served with all the condiments that are haleem essential. the best haleem in uae is served atalsaad restaurant rasalkhaimah and nothing can beat that for sure.
chicken biryani : now biryani is such a debatable item with so many versions that its an endless discussion. supporters of each version claim their ones to be best. so i wont go into that spicy non spicy aalu or no aalu debate. their biryani reminded me of the achari biiryani of lahore. it was not as non spicy as typical lahori biryani (which i love by the way) and it wasnt extra ordinarily spiced chatpati karachi style biryani (which again i am in love with) . the rice were perfectly spiced, perfectly cooked long grain with achari twist of degi biryani.
masar chaawal: served with white rice , a treat that one cannot ignore. the rice were steamed to perfection and masar were divine.
naans / bread: i have tried their roghni and butter naan plus the saadi roti. the naans are crisp from outside soft from inside, perfectly buttered / oiled and thin. rotis are served piping hot.
overall a place that can compel you to visit them again:
