From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2009

Ravi Restaurant is best visited in the early hours, when the wipe-clean outdoor tables are bustling with boisterous groups.

The menu is long and includes many familiar generic Punjabi dishes, but we can recommend both the haleem – a slow-cooked dish of wheat, lentils and meat (usually lamb) the consistency of porridge – and the nihari – slow-cooked beef so tender it falls from the bone, and served in a delicately aromatic sauce, served with hot flatbreads.

Popular with a range of people from Pakistani cabbies eating right-handed to wealthy NRIs (Non Resident Indians) shouting at each other in American drawls. Best of all, the cooking is excellent, and the prices low.

You don't go to Ravi's for fancy decor- you go for good-value, delicious, unpretentious food in equally unpretentious surroundings. Make sure you try the expertly cooked mixed grill, the Peshawari mutton, piping hot naans and raita (yogurt). If you don't know what to order, friendly regulars sitting near you are always happy to recommend their favourites. Fantastic.

This is the first time i eat Indian/Pakistan food. At first I don't believe when my friend asked me to go for dinner in Ravi.

And after... wowwww... the food is Awesome.
I loved chicken tikka, chicken peshwari and chesee nan.

More... dont bother with your purse....
