Jaffer Bhais The Biryani King of Bombay-Al Barsha

I am writing to share my disappointment with a recent order from your restaurant. Today, I ordered the Kheema and Mutton Nihari via talabat. Unfortunately, both dishes arrived in surprisingly small quantities relative to their cost. The Kheema, in particular, came in a very small container, making it feel like poor value for money. The Nihari portion was also noticeably less than expected. Additionally, the condiment provided—as visible in the attached photo—was minimal, with only a few thin slices of onion in a tiny container. It would be better not to include such condiments if they cannot be offered in a reasonable quantity. This is not the first time I have encountered such issues. A few days ago, when I ordered biryani, the accompanying raita was barely two spoonfuls. It is disappointing to see this pattern, especially since your restaurant has reopened. As a long-time regular customer, I find this decline in portion sizes concerning. I had previously raised this issue with your team and was told a manager would call me, but I never received any follow-up. This lack of response only adds to the disappointment. I urge you to review your portion sizes, particularly for online orders, and ensure that customers receive fair value. I hope you will address this matter and take steps to maintain the quality and reputation your restaurant has built over the years.

Good service, delicious food BISHAL CHHETRI was our waiter very great customer service recommend delicious plates for us to try. Was not a disappointment. Nice atmosphere very clean.

Everyone loves a comeback story, and boy are they back doing what they do best which is serving lip smacking dishes as well! Each of the daily specials are perfect, whether it’s the kache kheeme ki kababs, or his mutton chops, seekh paratha, baida roti, any kabab, his prawn starters. Best Roomali in town! And his tawa butter chicken is absolutely delicious and perfect for those that don’t want a sweet version of the dish. The Biryani King with his 1952 biryani and his white nalli ghost, khichda is back with a bang! Plus his firni, Rabri and chocolate mousse is out of this world. It’s always amazing that Dubai always manages to house better versions of classic restaurants from back home! Give it a try and you won’t be disappointed

This place was recommended by a friend from London and despite mixed reviews online I gave it a chance. Ordered the lamb biryani. The meat was good, tender but the portion size was minimal. Loads of rice and just a few pieces of lamb/mutton, ratio of like 10 to 1. I have the feedback to the manager and staff and they listened but felt like they didn't really care. 3 star as lamb quality was very good but just not filling unless you want to hoover up the endless rice. aED 50.

Took a break from biryani. Came back with hope. Ordered from Jaffer Bhai. Got served oily, flavourless disappointment. This wasn’t biryani, this was emotional damage. Never again. 💔🍛

As a non-Indian who has been eating Indian food for the last 10 years in Dubai, this restaurant has always been my favorite. First tried it at the Karama branch and later on at Barsha branch. When I first saw the shops were closed without notice a few months ago, I thought I would not be able to find the same mutton biryani anymore. But just few days ago by chance I saw it has reopens. I hesitated for few minutes thinking if I should dine there because not sure if the same chef/recipe/owner. Parking can be tough if you don’t plan ahead on where to park (check RTA app map in advance) and walk across the sand pit. As the previous review said, yes I agree the price is on the higher side compared to the other Indian restaurants around. But the quality is really really good. Be it rice, spices, meat, the mutton briyani brought me back to the same taste for the last decade. We also ordered plain roti, chicken bhuna, and another mutton khema. There were just too good. Even our 8&5 year olds loved the mutton biryani. Yes it was spicy so they ate just the rice and yogurt and minimal meat. The boss Moin Jaffer came out to greet us and we were served with Chicken Lollipop (complimentary), of which the kids wiped them clean with the biryani rice. Wishing you and the team a happy and wonderful new year ahead. Please keep making good food. Regards, Happy customer from Malaysia.

Had a pleasant dining experience at Jaffer Bhai’s restaurant. The food was tasty and well prepared, although I did feel the prices were a bit on the higher side. What really made the experience stand out was our server Gabriel. He was very attentive, friendly, and polite, which compensated for the pricing and made us feel well taken care of. Overall, it was a good experience.

We have been regular customers usually ordering online. We were so disappointed when they closed. So glad they reopened as our whole family loves their biryanis, seekh kebabs and especially their butter chicken. The menu isn’t exactly the same as before but the food is the same and brings back our collective nostalgia which we missed for a long time.

The best biryani in town , same great taste always and the quality of the meat is very superior

It was awesome service. I personally like to appreciate Mr. Hari Prasad Ji for his best service and hospitality he reflected. It was very nice and best service noted from the Restaurant and Mr. Hari Prasad. My guest were very much happy and loved the food and service. I wish all the very best in life.

Amazing food, ohh the BIRYANI was so good, their food is just amazing , OK I get it said it twice but its that good. Great service, nice ambience, visited after its reopening just perfect.

Excellent biryani ever one of the most dining restaurant for indian, Pakistani cuisine so lovely and tasty.recomended.

The search is over! This is hands down the best biryani I’ve had in Dubai so far. Authentic flavor, generous portions, and the meat quality is top-notch.

The best mutton biriyani in town. S Gabriel privided excellent service with a smile. Highly recommended!

Food was good and tasty, and the service was fine. Unfortunately, the dirty toilet spoiled the mood, and the sofas were very uncomfortable.

1952 Mutton Biryani is one of the best .Tender Mutton , Long rice grain and aroma of the same is outstanding.

Items are too expensive. We have ordered boti kabab, only for 6-7 pieces of small boti kababs, we have been charged 47 AED, and we also ordered biryani which was 47. Overall everything was over priced. However taste was very good, but if they charge 20-30% higher than the normal restaurants they can survive, but they are charging 100 -120% more than the local hyderabadi or north indian restaurant which is not practical.

Disappointement..I just went with my autistic child because she is not normal and she might not comfortable on open table so I had asked for cabin, the staff said let me clean and once he cleaned he allowed it to the other family to seat. We was waiting and was surprised to see why he dint allow us despite my daughter is POD- disabled child. I really felt bad and you cannot create differences in people. Will never go again in this restaurant though I like their biryani lot and come regularly.

one of the worst restaurant.i recently went there with my wife late night around 10.30 before entering the restaurant i asked the the staff memberARE YOU CLOSED, HE REPLIED no sir we are serving so when we ordered the food it was super high on salt and while we were having a food one of the staff member came to us and asked my wife please finish quickly we are closing to make it worst he said pay now, it was very disrespecful and unprofessional.never recommending this and ofcourse never coming back to the restaurant where people dont even know how to be polite and respectfull...

Excellent food, Great service by Gabriel.we enjoyed our meal.
