Pak Darbar Restaurant Al Barsha

Great place to enjoy good Pakistan food in Dubai. They have family hall separated from the main hall for better privacy and comfort. The staff Azhar served us and is very attentive and friendly. He got us served on time and accommodated our requests for less oily and less spicy. The food was amazing and I had never tasted the chicken gravy as tasty as they served. Other items were also good but certainly I wanted to say about chicken gravy. Good food at very reasonable price with clean and nice environment and friendly staff. Do visit your to endorse and enjoy.

. I wouldn’t recommend this place for iftar. Even though it’s 10 DHS, it’s not worth it. There was no ice and no cold Rooh Afza available. The banana served was green and not properly ripe. The samosa didn’t taste fresh, it seemed like it was cooked in the morning. The pakoras were also cold and not freshly prepared. Overall, the food quality and freshness were disappointing

Came late for dinner. Despite of few options were finished by now, we utterly enjoyed mutton kebab, chicken curry and bread 😍 fresh tandoor bread is always a bliss. Despite of late hour our waiter made all the requests we made on our table without any word, finished our dinner with lassi No smoking area outside the restaurant for winters, parking mentioned largely - easy to remember to pay parking. Good place, will be back again. Thank you!

Really enjoyed my lunch at Pak Darbar Restaurant Al Barsha today. The food was full of flavor and reminded me of home.Pulao and karahi were amazing, and everything was served fresh. The staff were very polite and helpful. Big thanks to Shahzeb for taking good care of us Will definitely come again!

Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy delicious Pakistani food in Al Barsha. Keep up the wonderful work, and may Allah bless your business with continued success and barakah. 🌹🍽️

Seriously, this place is a total winner. The food was absolutely incredible, like seriously next level. And the staff? Wow, doesn't expect from pak darbar such educated staff! It's the perfect combo of a fantastic meal and an unforgettable service. Definitely go check it out, you won't regret it. Specially thanks to mr Ameer he is very hard working polite and fluent in English such a good place with good staff

Do not expect the taste which you see in the menu. Completely change what you expect. Haleem is like gravy taste. In halwa poori, no chana and no prior inform from waiter. Find another place i advice

This was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The staff—particularly the waiters of night shift as I went for a dinner —were extremely arrogant and served food as if they were doing us a favor rather than providing a paid service. I brought three guests and made a special trip from my home expecting the quality and hospitality this restaurant was once known for. Unfortunately, the service alone was enough to ruin the entire experience. The food quality has also declined significantly. The chapli kebab was burnt and completely tasteless, the daal mash lacked any flavor, and the so-called Nawabi Karahi was anything but nawabi. In my honest opinion, this restaurant used to be excellent up until 2024. I always appreciated the food and the environment, but sadly, that standard no longer exists. It’s a hard truth that many restaurants compromise on quality after achieving success—and that is often the first step toward decline. Literally, the waiter service doesn’t deserve even one star.

Great food, nice ambience, and smooth service overall. Everything was well managed. Special thanks to Azar for being polite, attentive, and providing excellent service. 👏🍽️

Al Barsha Pak Barbar is a complete waste of money. Prices are way too high for the quality they serve. The alo paratha is basically a plain paratha with almost no filling, and the paya is nothing but oil with barely anything in it. Unhealthy, poorly prepared food. If you want to save your money and actually eat something decent, go to any other restaurant. Eating here is just wasting money on oily, low-quality food. The staff are another major problem. Communication is extremely poor. They cannot even say a simple apology and instead blame the customer for their own mistakes. No professionalism, no accountability, no basic customer service. Strongly not recommended.

The most tasty food you can get in Dubai and really friendly and kind service with a smile. Very nice to see people from all over the world enjoying the food here.

A good Pakistani restaurant, not the best I tried but it is still good. I tried mutton peshawri which is one of my favorite dishes from Pakistani cuisine the meet was tender and the sauce was good however it is full of bones, I know it is a meat with bones but the majority are bones. The bread was good and fresh but the same size of this kind, it used to be bigger. The chatni is very nice.

Pak Darbar is always a busy place, and for good reason — they serve authentic and flavorful Pakistani dishes. The BBQ stands out as amazing, full of taste and perfectly cooked. The karahi, however, is more on the average side, so it’s better to stick with their regular menu items which are consistently good. Overall, it’s a great spot if you’re looking for quality Pakistani food in a lively atmosphere.

Excellent service and food specially Lady Dil preet is very pretty and sweet quickly understand and serve very fast our family is very happy. Thank you

I recently visited Pak Darbar Restaurant, and it was a great experience overall. The food taste was excellent—authentic Pakistani flavors, well-cooked dishes, and very satisfying portions. Every item I tried was fresh and full of flavor, which really made the visit enjoyable. What stood out the most was their service. The staff were very attentive, friendly, and quick to respond, making sure everything was served on time and exactly as expected. The overall environment was comfortable and welcoming, perfect for a casual dine-in experience. If you’re in Al Barsha and craving good desi food with great service, this place is definitely worth visiting. Overall, great taste and excellent service 👍 Highly recommended!

New renovations are great for families. The channa paratha breakfast is probably the best I’ve had in the city. The nihari portion is fantastic compared to other places, they don’t hold back on the meat. And top it off you have Amir bhai serving you, such a great guy. My only note would be to please keep breakfast items like channa and nihari running til 11:30 at least, so that we don’t have to have these delicious but heavy breakfasts at such an early time.

I have known Suman since 2012, and one thing that has never changed is his kindness, dedication, and genuine care for people. He has been working in the restaurant for many years with the same passion, respect, and warm smile every single day. People like Suman are rare — hardworking, humble, and always making others feel welcomed. Truly deserving of appreciation and respect for his loyalty and beautiful service over the years.”

The kebab, karahi, and daal mash were incredibly flavorful and delicious. The naan was warm and freshly made, enhancing the overall experience. The service was excellent, making our visit truly enjoyable. As a tourist, it was a good experience of having desi food here.

I’m from the Netherlands and visited Dubai for business. Today, I ate at Pak Darbar for the very first time — and it was so good that I came back twice in one day! The food, the service, the portion sizes, the freshly made from the tandoor naan, the prices, and the respect from the staff were all absolutely amazing. Every dish came with a fresh cucumber and carrot salad and a bottle of mineral water — for free! Such thoughtful hospitality is rare these days. Even though I was born in Amsterdam, my parents are originally from Pakistan, so I know exactly what authentic Pakistani food should taste like — and this was a solid 10 out of 10 experience! I already tried three different dishes today, and tomorrow morning I’m definitely coming back to try their nihari. If you love desi food and you're in Dubai, you must visit this place. They have about 18 branches if I'm not mistaken, and I visited the one in Al Barsha — which was absolutely fantastic. I’m confident the other branches are just as great! Highly recommended!

Nice place, good food, Affordables prices and decent place to sit with friends and family specially their outdoors in winter double the experience, just remember they dont serve outside before 1pm but family hall is good, big and tidy so still you are not gonna loose anything. Recommended place specially their namkeen pulao is matchless 10/10.
