Lovely time and iftar with my husbandβs colleagues πI was invited to @bbqtonightdubai by my husbandβs colleague. There was wonderful variety of veg and non veg food. The crowd said it all! In spite of it being a weekday, Restaurant was jam-packed. I believe this is one of the best Pakistani restaurants in Dubai.
Food was just very normal, compared to other places who have the same theme of buffet BBQ,The long Queue and fighting for the food is a bit annoying, there was no sea food options at all, just some white Dory fish fillets.very fewer sweet options when compared to other places with same theme.We had a company party here, with almost 30 people, we kept calling them for Glasses to drink water, we had to call and keep reminding them at least 10 times for them to show up with what we want. we wanted to take pictures after our food and asked them to clean the table, and nope even after asking them for like 10 times. they did not. so, we ourself cleaned 2 of our tables and put all the rubbish into the 3rd table so at least we could take pictures on the 2 good tables, very poor service. the place is crowded so they dont care. this place is surely overpriced.also, for our surprise while paying the bill with the credit card the waiter asked to add service charges on top of the bill, we asked what it was, then he said. It is Tip that you provide to us. We said, that It is a company party, and we cannot add anything on top of the bill. but then everyone surrounded us and forced us to pay a tip of AED 100, so we said if you can change the bill to add this 100 into the bill then we could possibly pay, so they changed the bill by adding a lot more mineral water so they could get an extra 100, this was horrible, never ever going back there again. By the way what service? We stand in queue and we take our own food, then we took the needed chairs from other tables, we got glasses to drink juice or water after at least asking for 10 times, and finally we cleaned our own table.
Delicious food.. but not worth your life! This has to be the worst managed place during COVID times that I have come across. I will definitely report them to the authorities but until an action is taken, please donβt risk your life by going here.We went here on a Tuesday evening not expecting much crowds.. but to our surprise, groups and groups of people kept walking in bunches of 10-12 minimum and holding gatherings for family/office without any concern for other customers, as they would come straight to the buffet line literally pushing other customers as if it was their last meal.. Not sure if itβs the customersβ fault for acting like animals or the restaurant management who have no control over what goes on in their restaurant.. we gave several complains about customers eating from the buffet trays and kids playing with the food, making it dirty, but no action was taken by management.Even roadside restaurants in Sharjah have better management than this well reputed rest. in Jumeirah which I loved but lost all respect for due to this experience. If they cannot manage the customers then they should not even open with how poorly they let these uncivilized customers cough, sneeze, not wear gloves and just stand in line and eat straight from the dishes while the customers who were bothered were not attended to. All they care about is, βMaβam can we add a tip to your bill at the end?β A tip should be deserved.. while the staff available is very efficient no doubt.. they surely are understaffed in controlling the animals that walk into their restaurant and make others feel uncomfortable. Please save your money and health until strict action is taken against them.
Their food used yo be really good but now its average.No choices for salad.Main course is good. Alot of options.3 types of bbq fish but all white fish fillets.Sarson ka saag was good and so is crunchy bhindiyan in veg.Desserts was not nice &also not enough choices. Just gulab jaman was nice.Good for 1 time try.
Very tasty food. Big Space to enjoy food.BBQ superb. Carrort Halwa very yummy. Great experience and will go again to enjoy delicious food. Yummy, Tasty, Delicious Food waiting you.
Overall nice experience.Good located resturant at Hudabia Awards Building. Great place to go with your family and friends.Fish Bar BQ is soo good.Chicken and Mutton Bar BQs are at satisfactory level.Dinner buffet is good as compare to Lunch buffet. Just because of variety of extra dishes.Caramel Pudding & Shahi Tukra are also at their best in desert.
One of the best place for Pakistani food lovers. All you can eat is worth paying.Rocommended for their lunch & dinner Buffet...
Good tatse and quality of food. Almost same as Pakistan one. Staff is also nice and friendly. Would surely go again for their food. Prices are also very reasonable compared to others.Cheers and keep it up
My experience was more than I expected for the cost-effectiveness of this restaurant with freshly roasted barbecue, shrimp, fish, a variety of salads and even dessert, with a Brazilian option at the buffet.Amazing and delicious buffer.All fresh and well-seasoned.I went twice this week and will come back many times.
This is mainly a buffet restaurant but we always go for a la carte. This time we were in a rush me ordered chicken karahi and naan. They never use food from the buffet to serve and always cook fresh for a la carte. Good flavor but service can be pretty slow. Also from previous visits would recommend chicken tikka and paratha. Truly. this dining experience cannot be defined - it has to be experienced!
Overall recommend.Dishes was less but they maintain the quality.
One of the best places for South Asian food, specifically Pakistani and conveniently located.
Food taste was very good. We enjoyed alot But your team member behaviour was very rude on the time paying bill. One of your staff i think supervisor having long hairs. He demanded us tips. When we informed him this is not right way which you choosen to demanded from the guest. Its upto the guest whatever guests will give them tips. His became rude and he simply said thank you very much you can go.
Food is simply fantastic with bbq range all very tasty and plenty. A good place to go with family and friends.
Its very nice place for berthday party and family meet or other occasions. Yesterday our family meet all are enjoyed barbecue π and all delicious food. Very good hospitality and customer care clean hygiene mashahallah I will refer to my friends and family again thank you Team Bar.B.Q TonightFrom faiyaz
Good quantity was good but if you see quality, itβs zero. Customer service 0. Staff was forcefully asking tips while making card payment also and was rude. Sweets were either too sweet or too bad. Not worth for money.
One of the Best Pakistani Buffet served in this place and I personally love the positive attitude. ππ€©I have been coming to this place for past 10 years maybe more with family and I just love them.Thank you β€
Taste is Gud , but today I have embarrassing experience infront of my invited guests when waiter bring the bill & ask βtip is not included in bill u can add in amount & pay β1st of all I havenβt seen this anywhere else, 2ndly I didnβt understand at that moment so simply said charge same as per ordered food , 3rd obviously tip cannot added in charged invoice so this is so weird to ask customer. Plz change this policy if someone wana pay tip he/she know how to pay even for vallet I paid 20 instead of 10. So I know how to give tip . Thnx
Went there for a family event..the experience was great since they had it arranged in the party hall. Pandemic procedure were followed and dwspite of buffet for the event everything was served at the table. The food was also amazing and the staff was also cordial. Had a great time and will recommend others as well.
Great tasting food if Pakistan and good atmosphere. Packed during the weekends. The manager Mr. Shahzad is extremely welcoming and attentive. Am definitely their customer and would recommend them all the time.
Love their buffet . The variety is amazing and diverse in the main course. However , dessert section needs some more additions.
Awesome staff and tried to eat all the items in barbecues but I was not able to went three times to taste all the dishes .. awesome taste loved being their
The most dirty food and atmosphere. Sweaty and filthy waiters. Food quality is rubbish. Chicken boti says boneless but is only bones and no mutton options. Typical pakistani cheats.
We went there at Saturday night and it was a bit crowded. Not sure if it is over capacity. You need to wear a gloves to take the food. This is good considering the Covid-19 situation. The food was amazing. I love the βMutton Ribsβ and βHummusβ. I would love to comeback for more of that. I did not take any picture. I was too busy eating π
One of a few places you can think of where every single item is prepared perfectly, they dont cut corners on quality.
I visited this place because I am from karachi paksitan... and this is one of the major big names of restaurant in karachi... I was pretty sure that I will get the taste of karachi there and I wasnt wrong.. I tried their Mutton kardhai with Afghani and butter naan and indeed it was yumy and enough for 2 servings... and naans were very crispy and fresh.. One things I didnt like much was its ambience... they should focus on it for example sitting arrangement was just ok as its located in Dubai and second thing that they asked for tip twice and its not a good image to represent pakistan here in UAE... other wise services were good.... plus a perfect place for family dinner outings or get togethers.. plus they had a facility of buffet amd party arrangements.. as the area of retaurant is quite huge to celebrate any occation....
Great place for barbecue dinner with family. Its buffet system. Dont miss mutton chop barbeque
Bar b q items are very good. Good taste cooperative stuff
Every dish in their buffet is worth it you wont find any less flavourful its authentic Pakistani cuisine with gr8 ambience & value for money
This is a special place for me and my family for small get to gether. Amazing variety of food, all the dishes are yummy to fill up your tummy. Quality and service are both good for the price you pay. I liked their Biryani and chicken curry with loads of kebabs. You need to pay 10 dirhams for parking at the Al Hudaiba premises where this Restaurant is located.5 stars for food and service.
Need a good quick asian desi food stop ...this is the right stop. Big variety.
Good taste for bar b q lovers per head is around 70 AED but sweets are on average in taste
I wanted to book a buffet with my family at Lal Qilla but it was fully booked so I decided to go to BBQ Tonight and I guess it was the best decision.I reserved a table for 9pm and reached there at 9:20. It was my mistake and bcoz of that we had to wait for next 10 minutes coz all tables were full.Once they got a free table they called us inside and the wait was worth it.They have excellent variety of desi pakistani/Indian cuisine. Mutton/beef/chicken/fish you name it every thing is fantastic.Pulao was the best I had in dubai.Really recommend to everyone who have desi taste buds π
Fried Okra was surprisingly delicious, as well as Aloo Zeerah. Good service
Food and service are good beaf kabab osum
Delicious Authentic Pakistani food. The only reason for giving 4 stars is they lack in service. I went in Iftar buffet and the staff was so confused that since I have done the prior reservation, and the table was also reserved with my name the concerned guy with long hairs didnt knew what to do just running here and there without any response and when I stood on his head he started telling me the stories that I am arranging for you inside etc etc since I already saw the table inside reserved with my name so he is a big liar. I dont know his name else I would have mentioned here but he has big hairs and was just running showing like he has loads of work but in real doing nothing. The over all staff also seemed to be confused at that time. Whereas, on the other hand the food can be rated 5 star.
Good buffet. Good variety of bar be que and other items.
Good service, good food, bill taker asks for tip
Had gone there 4 times . Each time enjoyed the buffet.
Tikka varieties are owesom it is special for tikka dishes . And other dishes are 50/50
It used to be great but I feel the standard has gone down since covid. Looked really shabby this time and the food was just okay.
Food quality is good but at the end waiter forced us to give 50 aed as tip . Which is horrible for such restaurant.
After last years pandemic gap I was able to visit this place again for iftari buffet.Indeed they have kept up their standards of good service and food. Not a single time there was any dish which was waiting to be refilled as the staff took good care of the refills. It was disappointing to see how people were hoarding their plates to the point of overflowing and even more disappointing to see the amount of food going to waste. Rest assured if you are visiting this place take only the amount you think you can consume and avoid wasting food. I think people fill up their dishes to avoid queues later but these queues can be avoided in the first place if people dont spend minutes filling their plates with single dish in the first place while others wait anxiously.There is ample parking and separate setup for outside seated guests. There is arrangement for maghrib prayers as well. Another disappointment is when you are leaving you are met by some needy person who tells you a tragic story to extort money and such people are not satisfied no matter how much you give.
An authentic Pakistani Restaurant with a variety of selection from the buffet ranging from different type of Kababs , Korma, karhai, Fried Fish, BBQ Fish, etc etc.Best place to have a tasty food with cosy seating arrangement. Lunch at the moment is for Aed 39/- only.
Loved their food, authentic Pakistani food, canβt beat the taste of their food however zero customer service or hospitality. Simply opened the restaurant to make money so they are making best of it.Regardless of pandemic situation, be it resturant management or customer no one willing to follow the SOPs.
The food is outstanding. Service is meh. Prices are reasonable. Ample parking. Nice, clean restaurant with plenty of space. Oh and the food is outstanding!
Very delicious and tasty buffet in a very good budget. I never saw anyone like this.
Delicious food, nice variety, good service, and well placed in the corner of Satwa and Union Flag. Value for money on Saturday lunch!
Really nice place for a weekend hangout. Jus chill with ur frnds and family. Jus loved it. Awesome.
Nice ambience.Mediocre food.
Typical Pakistani buffet. Very crowded as always. Excellent food variety and taste.
Okish food better try lal qila
One of the best Pakistani buffet in town. Not too crowded. Awesome taste and all the food is very fresh. Highly recommended for families and for the gatherings
Its open buffet. Various dishes of delicious chicken but the fishes werent that good. Shrimp was nice and they werent lucky with watermelon
Had Iftar here. I liked the buffet. highly recommended to other customers.
Enjoyed my time here, there was a birthday party of our friends and we really enjoyed our time. Im usually the type of person who doesnt eat much when going out, but I really liked the food here. Really recommend you to come to this place.
Brilliant service and amazing food, very well organised. Over all excellent experience.
Good food but not so delicious and overpriced. Halwa puri, nehari, pulao, karahi
Awesome Place for Bar B.Q. They have a huge variety of food at reasonable price. Must Visit with family & Friends.
Very bad Service and food. Very less food items and food has no taste. Dont go here. I would give you 0 Stars.
We expected a lot but not upto the mark. Disappointed with the food taste and the variety of foods on the table is less comparatively to other similar chain of restaurants
Good Pakistani and indian food. Veg and non veg food both available with variety. Location and anbiance is good. Balue for money.
Great dishes.. good quality food..
This is the place if you are a Bar b q lover. Dishes are comparatively lesser than other buffets outlets. Quality food with amazing ambience.
Very delicious food with so much variety in bar b q and fish items.But was crowded.
Best Restaurant in Pakistani Falvour.. But This Ramdan 2021 the taste is not like before Still i can recommend it best place for Pakistani food. Thier biryani and Vegetable are very delecious.
The best Pakistani restaurant in Dubai, serving an excellent variety of Pakistani food at reasonable prices.Buffet is served at dinner time only.Most recommended for families.
Love the food but during corona time still alot of people there in open air and inside the restaurant
Worst experience ever with them , I booked for iftar and imagine when we been there they placed tables on parking slots and no fan or air cooler . The staff was so rude .Thank God lal qila accommodate us . So never trust them they are worst ins service.
Not much of varieties compared to pre-covid time. We went after 8:30 as it was full during iftar and since they offer 20% discount and found many of the dishes of just basic quality inc nihari , hummus ,biryani.Shashlik chicken & Mutton ribs ,kababs,grills were really good and refills too. Overall Just worth for this rate we thought itz bcoz of after Iftar rate there are not much dishes ..But as per restaurant its only basic Iftar items additional during Iftar timeWell , either we can say they are just surviving in covid times, and as a resident we dont want to see close downs and hence not give bad reviews. Or we can compare with similar restaurants which have similar rates at Iftar - IBP, BBN,LQ, AB,and say that its not up to mark and need lot of improvement in terms of food variety & quality.
The food is good but they dont have variety of salads and sweets ..
Loved the buffet, highlights were the beef nihari, malai chicken and mint lemonade. 30% discount after 8pm atm is a fantastic deal!
At the payment counter the representative is forcing customer to pay Tip. It happened to me today, even i was paying from card, so he was telling me how much should i add the tip in machine payment? I was surprised and the amount i instructed him to add, he was not happy with that and was telling me no please add more and its at every restaurant in the whole world. Its very unethical for me and made my good experience in the restaurant the worst one.
Not Up to the mark. BBQ quality was very low whereas buffet price was too much. Lal Qilla in the opposite is far better.
