The set meal is lots of value. Trust me it lasts you the day and you can pack it away for lunch and dinner the next day. Amazing food. Love to come back

Good & the service was excellent. However I felt, it is quite overpriced, dont know why? No great ambience, no view of the Dubai fountain, small place. Eg. Chicken platter is AED 250 for 10 pcs. Add 25 for one chicken piece is not justified. Liked the food, but its not, value for the money spent.

Authentic Indian cuisine. Try cheese chilly Naan and Pundina (Mint ) paratha with Panner Tikka masala curry. Dal Makhani black daal is utterly butterly delicious. Staff service is well deserved n stands for clapping.

Punjabi restaurant (and cuisine) as the name suggests with the probable distinction of being high end and toned down spices to cater to diverse diners. Chose it for Valentine’s dinner and opted for a sit down meal with a set menu. Turned out to be a very good experience (not having to choose what to eat) and being served 5 nicely styled courses at apt intervals. This ensured we didn’t end up feeling stuffed afterwards, but indeed satiated. Must try. And one can stay back till later to see the place convert into a party spot!

One of the best Indian restaurants in Downtown Dubai. Just walking distance from Dubai mall and Burj Khalifa. Located in Souk AL Bahar.Good food and excellent service

We were greeted by a gracious hostess who was quite helpful in running us through the menu. The ambience was a bit dreary but the food compensated for that. The portions are quite generous and dal needs a special mention. Prawns were grilled to perfection. Highly recommended

Probably my favourite restaurant. My first visit was before 2018.Location, interior, seating are very attractive, ambient, comfortable, cozy.Staff very professional, warm, and are well trained to advise on meals.On my every visit, the chef would welcome us with a speciality dish which we didnt even order, but would be very delicious.Hard to tell my favourite items but veg or non-veg everything is great. As well as the desserts.On one occasion the chef came to say hello to our table as well. Now, Patiala is my first choice for special occasions and if I have guests especially from abroad.This is a first class place, prices are on the higher side but totally worth it.My first visit was on a date, then with family, last was on a business dinner.

Not often I go alone to eat. This time I did. Great staff that was very nice, good food and central position. The price was 200 AMD for me inc 2 beverages. Not cheap, but maybe one of the best options if you want to eat at a quiet restaurant close to Dubai Mall.Go for it.

We had the set course meal for 180 AED per person. It was a fantastic multi course tasting menu with a great variety of Indian flavours, one of the best I have had before. We had great service from our host. The location was close to the mall and fountain but does not have a view of outside. This was not an issue as the shows run every half hour, but it is something to consider. It is a clean, modern dining room with nice decor and lighting.

It’s an Indian cuisine day and so we opted for a luxury experience tonight as it was our son’s birthday too. We we went to souq al bahar and chose Patiala Restaurant. It’s a beautifully designed restaurant with gleaming decor. Their staff is very hospitable and each one of them greeted with a warm smile. Since we are always with two demanding toddlers so Dinning out somewhere becomes an adventure for us. Sushil is the guy who had been taking a great care of all our needs and our kids too. Moving towards their menu they have an elaborated menu ranging from appetizers to starters and extensive range of almost all kind of drinks to the main course and at the end a yummy dessert treat too. We had some of the chef’s specialties and I must say their chef Mr. Bharat Singh did justice to what he claimed in the beginning. We started with soups; they had daal dhaniya shorba, murgh malai shorba and mushroom cream soup. My personal favorite was murgh malai shorba n mushroom soup. The serving of soups was in a very unique way. It was much like soup shots which we loved. Then we’re the starters in that we had kamal jad ki shammi (a very unique type of kebab), South Indian style prawn (very tasty), afghani murgh tikka (very tender and scrumptious), Amristsari Seekh kebab (different but not bad) and malai kebab (extremely tender and juicy). That was quite a fiesta. We had some amazingly refreshing drinks too which included candy paan mojito (gives the taste of paan in it and very deliciously refreshing), Rain forest (I found the taste more like of mixed berries inside so it was rich in taste and really good), peanut chocolate colada (it was a virgin colada but I found it a bit heavy) and virgin mojito (fresh lime and helped in digestion). Moving towards main course we ordered lamb biryani ( the best biryani I had till date from any Indian restaurant and I just loved their presentation for that), Nalli Nihari (we were expecting much from this but it was okay), chicken tikka masala (good in taste), dal makhni (husband’s favorite) and Patiala Shahi meat (drenched in gravy it too was rich in cultural taste) served with softest assorted breads. At the end we had delish gulab jamun and Pistachio kulfi. They had my heart. It was all in all a great experience with them and I must say it’s highly recommended from our side. Do give it go and let us know how did you find them. You’d love the ambiance, staff, food and value of your money won’t be wasted. Cheers!

We ended up by chance in this restaurant as other restaurants in Soul Bahar were full on a Thursday night. We were so glad as the food was excellent - I would say this iwas one of the best upscale indian food we ve had. Service from Amjad was excellent as he recommended the right plates and quantity.

Patiala is an Indian restaurant located in the heart of Souk Al Bahar.The staff is very friendly & ready to serve the customer. Restaurant manager Mr.Santosh have great experience about the product and high quality of service. Chef Bharat & his team are excellent to prepare the authentic Indian food & keeping excellent presentation.Restaurant is very clean with Indian decorations. I like the wall decorated in Jharokha ( windows) style..the only drawback is that you can’t see the beauty of Souk al Bahar from this place.Coming to the food ...our menu was set by Chef Bharat... we were served Chilli Nadru Chaat - (Lotus stem is known as Nadru in Kashmir) - it was delicious ...we can’t leave a single bite of it 😀Then we were served their yummilicious range of tikkas ...Dhaniya Murg TikkaNawabi Murg TikkaGalouti Kebab &Zaitooni Paneer TikkaThat’s what I loved most ... all four of them were delicious ... perfectly done with perfect balance of spices.For the main course we were servedPatiala Shahi Meat MasalaButter ChickenDal Makhni &Chicken BiryaniServed with assorted fresh naans ( Indian bread) ..Everything was having authentic Indian flavors.They also showcased some of their best drinks which I liked a lot.Snow BerriesBasil BreezeRain ForestTangy TwistMango LassiChaasWhat should I say ... they were so refreshing .... the chaas was not up to the mark though, but other than that all were good.Then comes the best part of the meal....

Review №21

Based on the reviews, I am genuinely at a loss as to how this is fine dining restaurant. The service was cumbersome and average considering we were the only customers there on a Friday afternoon.Despite this, their set menu starter of Paneer/ chicken tikka was the only thing I enjoyed. After which, the menu was no different to a low budget meal at a local Indian. The price of 135 aed for a three course menu that is at best average is a poor offering in a competitive market.

Review №26

All in all a pretty terrible experience at Patiala, and absolutely not what I would expect from a restaurant in Souk Al Bahar.The interiors and ambience of the place was dark and gloomy with many things falling apart in numerous places. The ceiling was completely damaged, chairs were falling apart and in shabby condition.We had an issue with one of our servers having hygiene issues that was unbearable to the point that we had to inform the manager about it.The chaat and starters were not good. The mains were better. However, despite confirming with the manager regarding the applicable discounts on the phone, prior to visiting the restaurant, the restaurant refused to honor the discounts offered through their partners.Would not recommend and would not go back.

4 stars for the food. It was delicious and offered a wide range of dishes on the menu. The ambience is not great, there’s a long hall with not many seating options. We booked a table for 3 in advance but were given a table which could seat 6! Pricing isn’t that reasonable either, the food is great but doesn’t justify the price. Far better Indian restaurants in Dubai which offer good ambience and food for a decent price. -1 star for the above 2 reasons.

Nice ambiance, as it’s a clean, modern restaurant. It’s location doesn’t capitalize on the potential for beautiful Lagoon dining, as it has no outside view.Service was friendly, but not perfectly attentive.The food was well presented, and the ingredients were of excellent quality. The taste was a bit sub-par for a good Indian restaurant however. I wondered if the chef was either not Indian or trying too hard to be creative and not sticking with Indian recipes that generally produce amazing, tasty Indian cuisine at most restaurants.Not awful, but I would go elsewhere.

An indian fine dining experience. With our 2 year old, there is not a lot you can sample without wasting food. So our food orders revolve around his choice. But, whatever we ordered was very good. The staff was courteous and the service was quick. We all loved the ambience and the presentation.

One of the best Indian restaurants Ive been too. The food was really well presented and cooked. The spices delicately balanced. The mocktail very yummy. Great service. I would recommend.I will say we had to remind them twice about drinks as that side of service was inattentive but they were very apologetic and helpful.Quite pricey I guess. We paid just under £90 for two beers one mocktail bottle of water two starters two mains rice naan and a tea. But seems maybe about right for centre of Dubai??I would still go there again as food and service on whole very good.
