This takeaway joint leaves you wanting for more.. It was one of my colleague who introduced me to this restaurant.The Kizhi porotta is a perfect meal with Kerala porottas layered with beef or chicken curry, then wrapped in banana leaf.Their Friday special, the Chicken roast biryani is definitely to try.In case you take help of Google map, please note that this place is recently renamed as Burj Al Arab Restaurant

Gafoorkas Thattukada 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻A very good place to have south Indian (Kerala) style food..Note - its a small restaurant with respect to seating capacityA wide variety of food items..We have tried vazhayila il dosham erachiyum , pathiri , porotta, etc..Taste was good 😋Affordable price...Will recommend to try..👍🏻

Highly recommend pocket friendly restaurant with mouth watering & lip smacking cuisines that take you back to routes of Kerala!! Highly nostalgic kerala street foods are also available!! My favorites are Kappa Biryani, Kizhi Porottas, Dosa Rasa Vada set, Obviously Biryani, Pazham Kanji and almost all....I visit here almost every week!! Cant resist my cravings when it comes to this savoury & highly palatable naadan dishes!! Loving every bite!!

I have eaten from here several times and the conclusion is the taste and quality of the food is not consistent. Another important thing to add is, in the last 6 years of me in this country, this is the only restaurant I found who does not accept card payment and they sounded like they are proud about it. Meanwhile the entire world is moving towards contactless payment methods, this place is stuck in 1980s.Food - AverageSafety - Below AverageLocation - Good

They are definitely making a great comeback. Budget friendly...The Thattu Dosa Set i had today brought back the same experience of thattukada serving we used to get back in kerala.I had previously rated them 1 star few years back for their bad service.. But the current team has brought back the quality to much better level. Hope they can keep this up..

Can try south Indian traditional delicacies. Pazhankanji is a top choice there in the morning breakfast.

The dishes which they used to serve in banana leaf are very good, especially chicken and beef biriyani. But not maintaining their quality nowadays and feel like just an average restaurant.

Friendly staff and authentic Kerala dishes. Little spicy on everything. And good samavar

One of wrost kothuporotta I have had in Dubai which is costlier than other restaurants too. I had ordered beef kothu porotta and chicken kothuporotta both were very bad in taste.. will never ever recommend to any.

Great flavours with south indian taste. Budget friendly.

Authentic delicious yummy n superb Kerala (south Indian) food!!!! Good location ... Lot of parking space...Average price and tasty food... Please note that there will be some queues in weekends....

A gem hidden in al qusais... they serve amazing porotta and beef fry... and their beef pothi porotta is just out of this world..the Chicken dishes are only mediocre.. so I woudnt suggest thatBut the beef dishes here are wow.. and is a must try for food lovers...Doo try their porotta and beef

Real south Indian tasty foods specially pothi porota I addict for this food. Free parking infront of restaurant and all menu items or low price.

Best place to eat porotta kizhi (beaf). And also pazhankanji.. worth a try in gafoorkas thattukada named as Burj Al Arab hotel in sheik colony...

Lot of South Indian Varieties.... including Duck and Camel Dishes... it’s a crowded place... but food 50/50 .. the sign board says Burj Al Arab Restaurant.... it was kind of funny..!!!!😳food was not that good as I expected..!!

I had rate their food and service with 5 star before 2 years and now I edited with 2 stars.The quality of the food gone below average and the pricing gone up. Not worth to have.I had recommend this restaurant to many friends and not going to it again.

If you ever had thattukada food from south kerala, Trivandrum, this is a nice place to experience it again!!! With lots of unique combinations...

A Visit to Gaffurkas Thattukada, Al Qusais, Dubai, UAEIts registered name is Burj Al Arab Restaurant but its known as “Gaffurkas Thattukada” in. The name is derived from a Malayalam movie character and it has lot of local delicacies of Kerala. The food was really amazing. I had pazhamkanji and my friends other Nadan varieties, all were excellent. A very ordinary setup but large varieties of extremely delicious and delighting food.. The service is good with very friendly staff and the interior of the restaurant indicates the local restaurants of Kerala. I will be recommending this to my friends and family who will sacrifice a 5 ⭐️ seating arrangement for their love for delicious food. This place is very budget friendly.

Authentic tattukada recipes , a small shop with a lot of dishes. BUt need to improve the cleaniness.

Only prob is heat and limited sitting space.food very tasty..pocket frndly

👌

All varities of malabar food available, good staff, tasty food but I feel more salty and spicy. Moderate charges. Better place for who like Malabar cuisine.

Very good spot for peaceful teatime catch-up. I keep going there in and off. Especially the sitting arrangement made outside really good. You can sit with your friends having tea as long as you want. And the blowing wind from 3 directions makes really feel great and refresh.

Tried once, other than biriyani nothing available on Friday until evening. Didnt get the feeling like I tried Biriyani.

Delicious traditional kerala style food for descent price..You can find enough parking in front of restaurant.

Tasty yummy food, you have to try Pothichoru, pothi porotta.Resonable price.

Food is great. Try their cuisine by dining as they serve it Hot and Fresh.

One of the best and medium price hotel. I really enjoyed the chattichor😋.. Service is awesome and variety of foods avaliable 👌👌

Superb Restaurant !!! Tasty food with lot of varietys good sevice

Best Malabari mutton biriyani in town. Thattu beef was equally good. Space inside restaurant is bit limited.

Food not good.. If you choose better then others.

Super Kerala food

Simple place good food not so big cost.

Tasty food, indian cusine. Best for mallus

Its a thattukada in Dubai, spicy and a variety in tastes...

I had appam and beef roast , apoam was not fresh ,beef roast was tastey but not enough quantity for that much price,i did not fee that much extra ordinary for their item

Had come after a long time for a Chai and snacks. Ordered Pazham Pori and Molaga Bhajji.Both were so bad, we couldnt eat it and had to throw it out. Chai was okay though.Things seem to have taken a bad turn with their quality going so bad.

Too late and expensive on orders and customer service also not upto the mark

Very bad service , they charged me but item are missing . When I called them they told they will deliver but they dnt do . After that they are not attending phone calls

Small restaurant with only a few tables but serving naadan dishes...Had pazhamkanji with the usual sides...massive portions and tasty sides....place could use a bit of TLC to be of a decent standard but food is decent.

It is one of the pretty famous South Indian restaurant in Al Qusais (Near LULU village).They have variety of dishes (huge number) which we may never expect, with a standard taste (normal taste).The dishes are more suitable for spicy food lovers.Taste - 7/10Ambiance- 5/10Staff attitude- 6/10Location- 8/10Value for money- 7/10

Small place to dine in, mostly prefer takeaways. Podi biriyani (biriyani wrapped in banana leaf) is their specialty.

Best south kerala foods

This is a well known place for authentic dishes from across Kerala and it used to be so but, recently the quality is not there. Often refrigerated and then reheated food is served. Taste is really compromised and serving sizes are just enough for kids. Simply speaking, they are encashing nothing but nostalgia.

This is the worst food I ever had in my life. Even the price is too high for this tasteless food. I never recommend this restaurant for anyone who have tasted malabar non veg dishes before, because this will disappoint you at any cost.

Never go to this place. Not higene, no A/C, no quality.

Today i went your shop and i ordered mutton peratti and beef string hoppers kottu both are very very useless bcz spicy is too high.. really its not worth for money.. there told its fresh mutton but its look and tastes like 1day old cooked one..

A small Restaurant with handfull of tasty Kerala Foods.

Good food. Rate a little high but affordable

Very sadly writing the comment that we ordered 19nos parcel Sadhya on the occasion of Onam today 31/08/2020 @11am.They were agreed to supply with in one hour and we did multiple follow up after 1 hour and they were saying the parcel is on the way,with in 20 minutes and keep on changing their times.Finally they were informed us 2PM saying that to cancel order as they are not able to supply.Its very shame as we cannot order anywhere in this time as the time is already gone.Very shameful and bad servicePlease take care while ordering for any guests or groups..

Best place for dine in shaikh colony

Worst experience!I ordered porotta and beef. The delivered food was not fresh at all felt like it was from last days leftover. When called the restaurant, they were very rude and told this is how they deliver the food.Not worthy at all. Overpriced, waste of money. Not even close to the standards when it comes to cleanliness.

The best beef biriyani that i had in dubai. Its in quasis area. The shop name is hotel burj arab

Great homely food...

Small restaurant with a lot of mouth watering dishes which will takes you back home..Pazam kanji is must try for 10dhs ( Reach der before 11 AM)

This review is solely based on the food and value for money.The first time I was taken here by a couple of my members from my extended family, I was turned off by the interiors and the crowd (only men the day I went first!). But the food was delicious, though oily. Absolutely love their idiyappam biryani. Idiyappam is a dish Ive never liked, even during my visits to Kerala. But this dish surprised me pleasantly. Apart from this, I recommend their dishes wrapped in banana leaves. I havent tried the fish dishes yet, as Im not a huge fan of fish in general.Ive gone to this place a couple of times after my first visit and weve ordered food home a few times as well, and Ive never regretted ordering any dish as such - apart from their vegetarian dishes... although my thoughts about their kadala curry, is different! I think it goes well with dosa and wheat porotta.I was quite shocked to see such low ratings on Zomato. And of course this may not be the place with an ambiance for family dinners. But I think its unfair to rate it based on that. Its not healthy food either, but I havent yet come across a restaurant in Dubai that sells healthy food for such low prices. :)Ive never had an issue with service, in fact theyve been friendly whether Ive eaten there or ordered food home. Of course, one could raise the point that there is a language issue because of which communication could be an issue. But personally, I wouldnt go to a place with such costs and expect great service.To summarise, if you are a fan of authentic Kerala food and youre low on budget, this is definitely worth trying.

Good Kerala Chicken Biryani and Beef Biriyani here.

Just as a homely feel. Nice service. Everyday they have varieties.P N, Main board as Burj al arab.

The food is very authentic here. Typical Kerala style food with a very good taste. The progress are economical too. They do have delivery service which I must say is decently daft enough. But the place is not fit to go with your family to done in. It is too small and they have not focussed on any nice decor for the interior of the shop.

Very good taste, suitable for non-vegetarians and Spicy eaters. Their special menu is always good, happy to see banana leaves for serving. Rare and unique taste if u r okay with South Indian dishes. Interior is not that great but okay. pricing is similar to cafeterias, have separate two tables for families. have outside kacha space for free parking. Easy to locate. Must visit if youre and south Indian foodie fan.

Good taste of foods, specially south Indian items.They do have pothiporota, pothibiriyani, pothichor, which are quick dining items available with them.Finding parking during weekends will be an issue, else we prefer to have dine here.Staffs are good and cooporative.But they have very limited space for families, specially this may make you waiting for your seats.Should try beef items here, found ok.

The taste of dishes are especially nice. Mutton perattu was my favourite. Good staff with ready to serve

Place is good ,but too expensive for small meals. Better food is available in nearby hotels in cheaper rates. Gafoorka cheated in the movie ,here they are cheating customers with larger bills. The facilities available are also poor.

This is an average restaurant more or less like a mess.Their breakfast, pothi chor and pothi porotta is good. You cannot see many families donning in here- it’s busy with bachelors generally. Hygiene wise needs improvement. Food is really economical and pocket friendly. It is also called Burj Al Arab restaurant.

I have been in more than 50+ restaurants in Dubai. This restaurant stays top of all. If you are a South Indian then you should visit. Best staff Best food Quality & Reasonable price.

The taste is not as good as before. I have gone here many times because the food was good. I went here 2 weeks ago and the food was just okay.

Quaint restaurant offers a great variety of South Indian dishes and street food. Wide variety of meat curries including duck and camel meat. Definite recommendation for the adventurous

They have a good number of typical kerala dishes. I enjoyed eating with my friends many time here.One of my favorite dish among their list is Tapioca with native kerala chammanthi. Its a must try one, and in my case it was awesome.

Very pathetic service, ordered and called restaurant thrice and still not yet received. Waited for 5 hours and once calling they are still saying order have dispatched just now.

Though its small and doesnt even have average interior the food is of great taste, i love the food amd its quite budget friendly !

Gafoorka’s Thattukada was a delight, and deserves all the hype and praise.Though the place may not look pleasing and come off as yet another Kerala restaurant, the dishes served here are delicious, and fresh.Kothu Porotta (Chicken) and Puttu Biriyani (Chicken) were the most talked about dishes from Gafoorka’s.Kothu Porotta is the best I’ve had, and is different in preparation from other restaurants, in a style much true to the Thattukada roots. There is egg, and lots of curry leaves in the dish.Puttu Biriyani was also good, in fact better than most other restaurants. However, the honours for the best Puttu Biriyani goes to Golden Finger - Warqa.I tried their Chicken Fry along with Porotta (which is not crispy, a huge let down personally). The fry was fresh, straight off the pan, hot and delicious - highly recommended.Prices are reasonable, and the three of us dined to full tummies at 49 aed.Service is reminiscent of typical Kerala mid-tier restaurants (or Hotels as we wrongly call in Kerala) - rough, takes their time, minimally interactive, but effective.Gafoorka’s Thattukada was a pleasant experience and I’ll recommend this place for the homely feel (Malayalam songs playing in the backdrop, loud conversations about the happenings back home, and the food). Do not miss to try the Chicken Fry and Chicken Kothu Porotta.

Tried the kizhi porotta and it was good

Tasty and yummy with southindian keralite foods and more varieties. Must try pothi choru, pothi porotta and chicken specials.

Good taste. But no varieties off Vegetarian food. Only kadala curry and kuruma is available.

Variety of foods with tasty..

Sweet Lord!This is the real Gafoorkas Thattukada in UAE. Food was amazing. A very ordinary setup but large varieties of extremely delicious and delighting food. I will be recommending this to my friends and family who will sacrifice a five star seating arrangement for their love for delicious food.

Very bad and not worth at all. I had a chicken sandwich costs 6 dhs contains a small porotta (it was a wet porotta and had bad smell) and some chicken pieces. No sauces, mayo, salads etc. Disposed it after one bite ..

Nice food but bad service

Dont order food over phone.. their delivery is worst in dubai and sharjah branch. it will take ages to send the food and they dont have any track of their orders.This is third time i am facing this delivery issues.. no more orders to them

Not kattan, Sulaimaani With my good freind owner of one of the Tasty Kerala food, GAFFORS THATTUKADA, Al Qusais, Dubai! Yummy , adorable affordable variety. Many of us tasted but my post is special!

Very good... Friendly... Good menu options...

Worst experience ever in a Dubai restaurant and the quality of food served would make you to never go there again. I was most annoyed with one of the staff there. Even before i had finished eating he tried to clear the table as if he was paying for the food. Would never recommend it to anyone. Was really annoyed by their service.

Tasty food.. pothi poratta and beef biriyani are the highlights.. a budget restaurant aswell..

Great taste, fast service.

If you want delayed service then order from here. They do not have the courtesy to inform you the order will be delayed. Waited for the food for almost 2 hours and then they are saying that the food will take another 30 minutes. Very poor customer service.

It was just fine. Nothing so special to talk about it. The tea was like a sweet ball (let them know in advance if your not found of too sweet tea)Price : very reasonableInterior : Normal (renovation is required)

They have varieties of dishes ..Certain dishes are very tasty ....Needs to be improved on the restaurant amenities and hospitality.....Getting a parking lot is another constraint...The restaurant will get high fame if they tend to bring up more professional outlook...

Its registered name is Burj Al Arab Restaurant but its known as Gaffurkas Thattukada. The name is derived from a Malayalam movie character and it indicated local delicacies of Kerala food. The food over here are which are widely found in whole over Kerala and it really true to its taste. The service is average and the interior of the restaurant indicates the local restaurants of Kerala. This place is not expensive.

It a great place for Kerala spicy food in typical Mallu style! As the name says it resembles with Thattukada in ambience, service and food quality. Restaurant was clean and good service. I had tried `Porotta Beef Elayil Pothinjath and it was absolutely amazing. Succulent pieces of beef soaked in that medium spicy masala. Excellent food quality and very reasonably priced.

A must try Kerala restaurant for foodies. Spicy mouthwatering delicacies with variety of meat dishes. You can try many traditional food from breakfast onwards.

Excellent karrak chai. Goat brain curry was great, kappa biryani needs improvement

South Indian spicy and tasty food available here. One of my favourite item is their tasty and mouth watering mutton roast

The shop which reminds us of the traditional thattukada in kerala. Such yummy food 😊😊

Worst food. They lack way behind in quality. Never order for beef fry. It was more like as if you are chewing an eraser. The quality of food should be improved.

They are just telling false information to the customer.

The place for Trivandrum guys..Must try the Puttu and beef fry, Dosa combo, dishes

It was very bad experince..... today i order two kappa biriyani totaly bad taste.... and one contaoner only half biriyani was there.... no taste... delevery time they took 1.30 hour.... when i call them very bad responds from there side.... so i never recoment this hotel

One of the best kerala restaurant in Dubai, I wonder why it is not popular much. Lots of varieties and tasty food. Only thing is it is little spacious.

I oredered 2 biriyaniTaste not good, service also not good.and i visited second time last week after 3 pm ordered 2 porotta but absolutely waste very hard.how.they serving like this..i didnt expect.i escalate this to manager but no response..

Traditional Kerala style food.lot of options and tasty as well.prices are bit high compare to other Kerala restaurant.
