We visited the one located in dubai The Pointe, beautiful ambiance and very nice view.
Safadi Food is always fresh and top quality.

One very good thing is since parking is paid in The Pointe parking plaza, after you are done with meal you cou can simply ask the guy in Safadi to update the parking ticket from their side.
Usman is very good guy and good service. Excellent dealing with customers and well experienced.
Thanks
Nice atmosphere and outdoor seating, plenty of space. Suitable for large groups .

The food was okay, below my expectations in terms of menu variety and quality .

The portion size and prices are reasonable
This restaurant offers a delightful blend of health-conscious cuisine and warm hospitality. It's a welcoming haven for those seeking a wholesome dining experience. A definite must-try whenever you find yourself in the area.
Very delicious food and food served by Mr Usman politely
Delicious food, excellent service, and the staff are cheerful and friendly. I suggest ordering hummos, kofta kebab, chicken shawarma and pudding sweet. There are indoor and outdoor seating options upstair and downstair. The photo was taken after.
Absolutely disastrous fish mango curry and chicken stew with hell lot of cream instead of coconut milk.
Had to wait for almost 30 mins to get seating .
Parotta and alfahm chicken tasted decent .
Rating two star as I had better experience last year when they opened this place, they deserve zero star now !

Kindly get back to your standards to serve better food.
Also,writing this review while waiting for our car given for wallet parking , it has been 20 minutes already.
A very quiet bar inside the hotel. Good to go and get some peace and quiet over a beer
Tried the Kerala parotta and shapu chicken curry. The chicken curry was flavorful but very spicy - not for the weak-hearted, even if you are used to the Indian level of spices. Service was efficient and courteous.
Tried to order some of the drinks on the menu (raw mango drink - forget the exact name) but they were unavailable and had to settle for what they had. Ambience was basic - I sat outside.
..... I have always loved KFC. This KFC was no exception. Nice crispy chips, well prepared chicken and tasty. I asked for it to be spicy, and I got exactly that. Well done.
Curry Chatti Restaurant in Sharjah serves up incredibly tasty dishes, but it leans on the expensive side. The ambiance is decent, but it doesn't offer anything extraordinary. If you're in for a flavor-packed meal and don't mind the higher prices, it's worth a visit.
In addition, it's important to consider that the cost of food in the area is generally on the higher side, which can be quite challenging. It's essential for the restaurant owner to understand this, as it can lead to disappointment among customers who expect more competitive prices.
We had curry chatti restaurant beef biriyani today and the taste was good compare to other Malabar biriyanis.
Our time at this restaurant had its ups and downs. The place looks really nice with lovely decorations that create a good atmosphere. But when we tried the food, it was just like the usual stuff you get at local cafeterias – nothing special. What made it worse was that the prices were a bit on the high side. On top of that, we had to wait a long time for our food. So, while the restaurant looks great, the food didn't quite match up to our expectations.
KFC Dubai International Airport is one of the most convenient places to eat when you’re travelling through Dubai. The KFC at the airport is located in Terminal 3, and it offers an extensive range of American-style fast food. The KFC Dubai International Airport is the perfect spot to grab a quick meal while waiting for your flight or a layover. The staff are always friendly and efficient, and the restaurant offers seating both indoors and outdoors.

I recently had the pleasure of grabbing a quick bite to eat before my flight at the KFC Dubai International Airport. The restaurant had a great variety of menu options at a reasonable price, and the food was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the crunchy chicken sandwich and the cheesy fries that I ordered. My food was served quickly and efficiently, and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

If you are in a rush but still want a convenient meal, the KFC Dubai International Airport serves freshly-prepared meals that are ready within minutes. The restaurant also offers breakfast options, soups, salads, and a variety of desserts for those looking for something sweet. Another great thing about the KFC at Dubai International Airport is that they accept both cash and card payments, making it a great option for those without a lot of time or money to spare.

Overall, I would highly recommend the KFC Dubai International Airport for anyone looking for a quick and convenient meal while travelling through Dubai. The restaurant offers a great variety of menu options at a reasonable price and the customer service is outstanding. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the food is delicious.
Because of my terrible experience, I never suggest this restaurant to anyone. There were a couple chicken curry options for less than 20 dhs. However, when requested for that, it was not available. Then they recommend a curry called 'Kumbalangi chicken' for 20 dhs. The quantity was never worth 20 dhs. There were only a few bits on the curry, and I didn't get 0.000001 gramme of meat from it. I'm not sure how people can eat two porottas with this curry. If you have this dish, you must order extra gravy. Very expensive and never worth the money you paid. The worst part is that when we told the cashier about it, he just laughed and didn't say anything.
I was visiting the UAE for a few weeks. I mostly had dinner at this restaurant (including midnight porotta items and samover TEA 😋). It was awesome. Very good food. Friendly staff. Ever since I moved from India, I have Missed the traditional Kerala-style tea (Samover Tea).  I recommend this restaurant.
We went for dinner, no one was there to take orders. We request them to come and take orders... The food was tasty and the atmosphere was nice.. If they can increase the service then the rest is all good..
Below average food tastes.
staff don't have coordination also needs proper training.
After watching promotion video visited but disappointed.

Not recommended.
New to town
I had breakfast with masala dosa and fresh milk tea, masala dosa is average and the chutney and sambar they served were scrumptious 🫡😍, fresh milk tea has a rating of 10/10 hope they will maintain the quality, will try other dishes soon...
They have family seating and the interior was awesome .card payment is accepted, timing is 7 am-1 am, wheelchair accessible, and they have home delivery also
Laser rice, BBQ, salads, bread and fish were very good. Seating was nice. First time I tried Uzbek food and loved it
Me and my friend had dinner at Zor i would say the food so amazing and this is the first time for me to try Uzbekistan food very yummy thanks for all chef, also the atmosphere very beautiful and relaxing and special thank to "Youssef" our server he very attentive, kind, friendly and very helpful also provided very good service please keep it up definitely will comeback again.
NO TOILET FACILITY INSIDE !!!! How shameful is this, you are charging AED 15/Biriyani, Announcing big ads in Radio, and you are pointing us to use public toilet!!!

In this way how will family visit?, Good food but staff quality is poor!!
Good place to have South indian dishes. We ordered chicken shapil curry along with beef ulathe, which had the traditional taste. Customer service is good. The only problem is limited parking.
A good restaurant offering some amazing South Indian cuisine options. The prices are quite reasonable & food quality & quantity are equally good!

Will visit again to try out some of their other menu options! The person at the counter was polite, efficient & really helpful in suggesting the right meal based on our requirements & cravings!!😋

Just wished they had something for the sweet tooth... but alas we may have been there around closing time so we'll check again for dessert options, the next time.

It's walking distance from Al Maha Regency hotel. So if you too are staying at this hotel you should be covered for lunch & dining, for the duration of your stay!
Busy restaurant near a fountain. Outside and inside options. Decor and service was great

Food was very flavorful and presented nicely. Drinks were okay but put in fun glasses

We ordered two entrees, an appetizer, a salad, and two drinks and the price was $129usd

I would go again and would recommend to others.
We went in time for a late lunch and we were glad to find that they still had meals on the menu.

We ordered a set of meals, some bread and sides to go with it.

The side of chicken that we received, although I don't remember the name now, was heavenly and we couldn't get enough of it.

I cut down a star cause to be fair, we had ordered a fish mango curry, which came out pretty awkward as the fish tasted weird and was mushy like it was prepared when taken straight out of the fridge or so. Yet, the curry was so good that we dipped into even the last drop.

I would recommend this place for a casual dining experience for everyone in the area!
Visited after 4 months on our recent trip to Sharjah. We tried some appam, Kadala and egg roast. Tasted very homely and very friendly service.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at an Indian restaurant Idukki Gold in my area, and I must say it was a delightful experience.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff and felt immediately at home. The menu offered a wide variety of dishes, and I was impressed by the attention to detail in each of the preparations.I tried the Mango Seabream curry, which was creamy, rich, and had just the right amount of spice. The wheat paratha was fresh and perfect with fish curry.

The service was attentive and accommodating throughout the meal, and I appreciated the recommendations provided by the staff. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, with soft lighting and traditional Indian decor.Overall, I highly recommend this Indian restaurant for anyone looking for a delicious meal and a warm,

Welcoming atmosphere. The food was exceptional, the service was excellent, and I cannot wait to return and try more of the menu.
One of my favorite terrasse in Dubai. So exclusive and amazing service and food. Unfortunately polluted by very agressive birds
Food is same like other places.
Cashier refused to take dollars coins 🪙, then I gave her 20 dollar bill and she gave me back my change in Emirati currency.
I asked her why all the rules are only for customers not for business owners or workers?
Tried their regular chicken charcoal and it was super delicious. Restaurant is family friendly and staff are hospitable.
Brunch was definitely quality over quantity, very nice food with fish and meats cooked to order. Hotel grounds its housed in are beautiful. As with Dubai in general service is fantastic. Check out 101 if you want views after food.
i gave this place a 4 stars for the nice ambiance and view. i didn't like too much the service. if we want something we used to search for 10 minutes to find an available waiter to ask him for something. but in general it's ok. they said we can swim until 8 pm. i think i should try it and stay till the sunset. i think it would be amazing with this view.
Very nice ambience , beautiful food , relaxed and refreshing atmosphere topped with great service .
Nice spot and there some good song in background 👌🏽👌🏽
And very delicious Beef burger and its very juicy
