Karachi Darbar

Budget Pakistani food in Deira Reviews

From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2009

Chalk it up to the chain’s penchant for cheap neighbourhoods, but each of Karachi Darbar’s three locations bubble over with life and energy.

Add to that equation tasty biryanis, efficient and knowledgeable waiters and a jaw-droppingly small bill, and you’ve got an incredibly pleasant meal out (or in, if you prefer; they also offer a speedy takeaway).

The portions are huge at this Pakistani restaurant, and invariably are accompanied with ample sides (naan, salad, mint yoghurt and a curry sauce). In other words, Karachi Darbar defines the term ‘cheap and cheerful’ (or maybe that should be ‘cheap, cheerful and tasty’?)

My favourite restaurant by far.

I'm not a huge fan of Biryani, but curries I love and curries they serve.

Amazing curries, Peshwari, Khadai, Nihari and I love their parathas!!!

Oh did I mention it's cheap? Well it is. I went with a group of 14 people one time and the total bill came up to arpound 280 dirhams.

It doesn't look like much, but don't be fooled. this is some of the best Indian/ Asian food in Dubai! The paratha's are great and portions are huge.
