Food tasted good. Place was run down. The vibe was very bad and so noisy. People dragging chairs and what not. Better to probably get takeaway. Prices were reasonable.
The food is outstanding and every dish was yum! We ordered all the kebabs each. We spent about 120 aed all included. The parathas were very good!
Was invited to this place by a friend for lunch. One of the og places in Sharjah. Parking is a issue. When we entered the place was a reminder of the 90s . We saw 1 elderly couple in a nearby table. The entire setup is dim and calming. Not sure about a certain woody smell. We ordered the dal, shami kebaab and luckkowi kebaab. The main food was spot on with the kebaabs . The Dal was so so . The Malai Lassi was a different one . Overall its for the experience and their main dish was spot on . If your not in Sharjah , you can visit their dubai branch.
The management is the worst I’ve encountered, and the limited staff made it even more frustrating. Initially, there was no one to take our order, and there were no menus on the tables, which made the wait even longer.
When we finally placed our order, they only brought out half the quantity of chapati we requested. To make matters worse, mosquitoes were flying around the entire time, making it hard to enjoy the meal.
The food was a mixed bag. The taste was just okay; the kabab was good, but the gravy was simply a hot spice mixture without much flavor. However, their lassi was a pleasant surprise with a unique taste.
Overall, the poor management and service overshadowed the few positive aspects of the meal. I wouldn't recommend this place unless you’re just stopping by for the lassi.

Being a food lover and dedicated fan of Lucknowi delicacy and zayka.. in Kabab's.. Everyone who Knows this trend will agree with me.. had no match in our whole Universe!
# If you ask me.. I have tried many places.. "Galawati Kabab".. but which I'd in this restaurant.. given me a perfect reason to pay a visit again... I'd never been to Lucknow.. but what they're serving I guess they are the same touch which Lucknowi "Galawati Kabab" should have in its character.
# Paratha is a must serve item with kabab and the very moment I witnessed wheat paratha.. and that too soft and thin crust & shallow fried in tawa.. I'm pleased to say they won my All respect 💕 Kudos 👏 to the Chef and every member in the kitchen who prepared that delicious food!
#Last but not the least... "Lassi"... Punjabi will take it as an offense but.. "Lassi ho to Al Afadhil Resturant Jaysi ho.. warna na ho"!!.. they won a 5 star ✨ review than n there when they had served.. earthen cup 🍵 full of Ice cream like Thick and creamy Sweet lassi.. 😍😋
I'll be back soon to indulge my taste buds again!!

The place has authentic Lucknowi taste & vibes at this old school gem that hasn't changed at all, from prices to food, since 40+ years They're launching a new dish
'Parda Nasheen Kebab' soon & served it just for us to try, very similar to their Shami kebab but with a smokey flavor and Instaworthy presentation

We were going for first time and I would say it's a must try.
The outlook of the restaurant was nice and clean. Only 6-8 dishes in menu so was really easy to order.
Lucknowi kebab was melt in mouth really flavoursome with chutney.
Shami kebab was also soft and good
Sheekh kebab was ok
Hot paratta soft and really good.. Doesn't make you feel heavy..
Last their Lassi WOW!! Thick, sweet delicious..
Customer service is excellent..
MUST TRY..
LOVED IT
