I ordered chicken seek kabab, Chapathi and daal yesterday.. when I took the first bite I immediately had to spit it out. It felt like they delivered some old stuff which was not even kept in fridge.. these kind of restuarants should be banned

I was on short visit to Abu Dhabi staying in Southern Sun Hotel and looking for inexpensive breakfast so exploring this particular area, at first I thought this is vegitarian restaurant but then it looks kind of Haydrabad restaurant and there are few other Haydrabad restaurants around,

We ordered their 5dhs breakfast that got us a Poratha which is as big as any large size pizza, crispy and thin, white chickpea curry tested so good, and cup of tea, we enjoyed that breakfast, I even ordered takeaways after this,

I also ordered their lunch and dinner combo of 10 dhs that comes with 2 chapati which again size of the large pizza, dal and one curry, all the items are so delicious, perfect portion for my appetite,

This particular area has many restaurants that costs reasonable, will try other restaurants too,

Pakwaan - Recommended by friend and went for dinner. Mix Grill was ultimate and totally worth, would have been great if they give bowl for gravy for Tandoor rotis. Grill is good blend of spices. Briyani chicken double masala was yummy and egg Briyani less masala couldn't enjoy to core. Super worth for pricey with zomoto pro

The critical flavouring agents of Hyderabadi Food are coconut, tamarind, peanuts, and sesame seeds. The essential spice is chilli, which is used in abundance and the reason for the ‘dynamite food’. With a vision to serve ex-pats in Abu Dhabi with the real taste of Hyderabadi ‘dynamic food’, the passionate Hyderabadi family started the ‘Pakwaan Foods Restaurant’. Located at the Tourist Club area of the Capital, Pakwaan serves the customers with affordable and quality Hyderabadi and Mughalai cuisines. From Tarkari (curries) to Biryani, from Kababs to Desserts, Pakwaan has amalgamated the locally available ingredients with the ones fetched from India. Right weight of Lamb, regulated marinations of Chicken, proportioned spices with other elements of a dish, carefully cooked Basmati rice, and delicious dairy-based desserts are the facets of Pakwaan that keep this restaurant stand out of the crowd. The restaurant Management holds its roots from Hyderabad; they have tasted the rusticness of Hyderabadi Food and brought it to Abu Dhabi for the extensive Indian and Pakistani community in the region.

It’s a small eatery with no fancy interiors and furniture, but what makes you happy and ignore such (unnecessary) aspects of a restaurant is Food.

With Precisely chosen ingredients for each of their dishes, this place makes you feel at home with authentic food prepared with all the expertise from the chef.

We sat in a family seating area which is a good option for those with a family. (it was really nice to see that the food gets transferred from the restaurant to the family seating side in a closed boxed tray)

We ordered :
Starters:
- Chicken 65 &
- Majestic Chicken

Main course :
- Pepper Chicken, - Bagar Chicken
- Phalli Gosht with chapatis
- Mutton Biryani &
- Sufiyani Biryani ( best seller/ unique)

Desserts :
- Double Ka Meetha ( A-M-A-Z-I-NG )
- Badam ki Kheer

We loved n enjoyed the meal. Biryani rice grain is long, quantity of food is very good.
We will be back to try out the grills.

Special thanks to the manager and the staff for giving us a pleasant experience!

We guys were in Abu Dhabi and decided to try out one food that always makes us happy.. ended up deciding to have Biryani.

Ended up at Pakwaan,,, looking at the ratings on Zomato.

Place was easily found, but parking was not :( very difficult to get a parking in this place.

Place is small and cosy.

Staff here is friendly.

The biryani here was just alright.

The mutton was very chewy and this actually ruined the taste of the biryani experience.

The place is not that great when it comes to cleanliness as the tables were sticky and floor had patches of water.

The Shami Kabab again was ordered with a lot of expectations, but again was dry. It was so dry that again it looked like it was cooked a long time back and re-heated in oven.

Had a delightful Hyderabadi Biryani with complete satisfaction, felt as if I am actually in Hyderabad. Great aroma, taste and hospitality. Chicken65 is a must to have treat. Always a consistent taste maintained by chef especially with respect to Mutton Biryani. Qubani sweet is a Not-To-Miss delight.
