It used to be an amazing buryani place but now the taste and quality has gone down. They should again maintain the same food taste like before. Today I tried first time at this branch. Kabab were finished but nice and economical price for buryani lover.You can try kabab, chanp, korma and karahi also.

Tried the famous Mutton Biryani of Pak Liyari! It was very good in taste... A very good portion as well and very reasonably priced as well.... The mutton quality could be better but then I think they have to keep the price under control as well

The food is very tasty and very reasonable. The mutton biryani and the mutton chap is really good. Quick service and friendly staff. A must visit to the restaurant to try the food.

Best biryani I have ever had must try.What good is a list of Pakistani restaurants without Biryani? There have many been claims about places claiming to serve the best biryani in the UAE, but for me, the Pak Lyari’s Mutton biryani is a clear winner. Tucked away in Meena Bazaar, Pak Lyari takes you to a trip back home with just one bite of their mutton biryani. If you are not a fan of mutton, their chicken Biryani is equally good. Of course, your meal won’t be complete without the Zafrani Kheer for desser.The peculiar name of this restaurant stems from the history of this restaurant. It was a small roadside establishment aimed at selling biryani to students, hence the name Student Biryani. Since then the outlet has come a long way adding more items to their menu. Although their biryani is a top contender for being one of the best, I love this place for their Haleem, Shami Kebabs and their piping hot tandoori roti.They offer flavorful food without breaking the bank. In fact they are known for great quality foods at very low prices. We recommend their bihari kebab and mutton biriyani.Who ever is biryani lover he must try this is amazing honestly. And you can order as much as spicy u ask them medium or full spicy

Pak Liyari Restaurant was introduced via a friend who tagged me in a popular Facebook post by a celebrated Emirati Vlogger. The place does live up to the hype, and how at that!The common sight you are treated to as you walk in is a dish of aromatic and coloured rice with a generous serving of masala on almost all the occupied tables. By this time, you know the Biriyani’s here are the star of the menu - and it is.Mutton Biriyani was easily the best. Chicken Biriyani is itself a delicious dish, but it is the Mutton that takes the crown. The masala would be spicy for average diners, but nothing that would leave you gasping for a glass of water.Mutton Sheek was a good tasting dish, but the benchmark (Mumtaz Kabab from KD) makes this dish seem very ordinary.The Roti served is one among the best I’ve had. Roti, rolled over a scoop of the rice and masala, dipped in the amazing raitha is the stuff of heavens.Dishes are priced reasonably. Mutton Biriyani was 15 aed, Chicken was 13 aed, Sheek Kabab was around 13 aed.The place is maintained well. In a sense, the old set-up adds to the overall charm of the dining experience here.Mind you, Pak Liyari serves Biriyani which I felt was different from other famous Pakistani Restaurants. From what I have experienced, restaurants specialise in their own take and iterations of the Biriyani, and all of them tastes good. Pak Liyari was a different experience, as were the others. As diners, we benefit from having a wide range of delicious choices. It’s a win-win for everyone here.

Absolutely one of the best biryani in Dubai, the aroma of biryani will literally take you to the Karachi. When its serve you will feel portion is small but after pouring in a bowl its more than enough for one person. Tender meat and well cooked rice, a bit oily but still good to have.

After hearing about the hype of this restaurant I went there with my friends and ordered Tikka, Seekh Kabbab and of course their famous Biryani. To be honest it was just ok I did not feel wow still a person can visit it atleast once but dont go with so many expectations.

Review №15

No place to park. Only way to reach is by metro. Its around half km from station but you ve to find your way around the narrow streets of naif.Tried gosht/beef biryani which was different from normal Pakistani biryani, not too spicy may be lyari way of doing it.Also tried chicken karahi, again it was different from Lahori karahi.Dont bother with kheer, its too artificial taste.Cleanliness is never a priority in Pakistani restaurants, so close your eyes when you move inside the restaurant.Family hall is upstairs so never mind with old people. The resident itself is very cramped and small.Prices are dirt cheap. Appx 30 aed for two persons and no card.I think its way overrated.

You dont get the same quality, taste and quantity anywhere in Karachi, let alone Lyari! Biryani is arguably the best in UAE and their mutton trotters (Paya) are irresistible. Their pricing is very reasonable too.

Paklyari is a gem. Alway surprise me. Today tried their White roast. It felt like a food from heaven. And the cost was just 16 AED including best bread. And iftari items and rooh افزا was free.

Review №40

Well, I visited this place after watching videos saying they have best biryani in Dubai. I would say the biryani was very good but not THE BEST IN DUBAI but still if one compares prices to the quality and taste of food, it is worth it. This is not a modern restaurant as its not in a posh area so dont expect high manners or food presentation presentation from the restaurant crew.

Review №41

We went to that hotel after hearing all the review and stuffs in the social media. But we are highly frustrated. The food was below average. And the service was even worse.But the only thing good was the meat. It was Cooked good and fine.So please dont say this as one of the UAEs top five biriyanis..we are really fed up. Highly rated restaurant, but not even up to a normal restaurant taste.And finally its. My opinion, taste and beauty differs according to perspective and personality.

Review №46

If youre in Dubai and you have not tried the Biryani from here, you need to do that right now. I am not a rice fan but their Biryani is on top of all my favourites. It is just way too good. Their Seekh Kebabs and Mutton Tikka can be discussed later too but the Biryani has to be honoured in my whole review.Ambience: A very standard and non-fancy arrangement. Comfortable though.Service: The service was quick but the staff really needs to improve on their people skills.Food: The food here is exceptional. Everything on our table was on point, presented well and had great flavour.Location: The location is prime but no parking. I hope they sort that out somehow.Recommendations: Definitely will be going back here for some more of the amazing experience.

Tried thier Gosht Biryani, It was spot on, Quantity Quality Taste & economy all in one, one of the best Beef biryanis in UAE.Place is Not so big located in the middle of a busy market place, i have been to thier branch in Naif, so dont expect any posh Ambiance, Do call them to check the availability of gosht biryani if you are going there on weekends as this is thier most Running item, they ran out of it sometimes.

If your are looking biryani other than Indian Hyderabdai or Malabri biryani......then Its the best option. Its Pakistani Sindhi biryani and having great taste. I personally recommend beef biryani which is the best.The oldest branch is this Diera branch and one wanted to eat must go there.It very economical.Its really amazing and I mark it no 1 biryani ever in UAE.

Authentic Liyari / North Indian biryani. Soft tender meat with spices topped with Biryani rice. That’s the real authentic biryani being served in Pak Liyari since decades. Till date it’s perfect.Quality and taste served at quite reasonable price.The ambiance need improvement.

Review №51

I go there for beef biryani. Thats the speciality of this restaurant. Would recommend to all pakistani people to go there once and have their gosht biryani available for lunch and dinner both. Other dishes are also good but unlike beef biryani its simply a wow. Also is reasonable for eveybody to afford it. Quantity is good enough for 1 serving.

Review №64

I cannot count how many times I have visited Pak Liyari, Naif branch. I have not visited the other branches. When here, I always order mutton biryani, mutton korma and chai. Here are my reviews;1) Taste: Very tasty, perfect balance of spices, salt, sourness from dried plum, and masala. Meat is tender, with two layer of rice. The bottom layer, rice with rich masala and the top layer, plain rice but lightly seasoned and spiced. The mutton korma is equally tasty and tangy and the meat is very tender and fresh.2) Portion: Very generous and a plate of mutton or chicken biryani can last the whole day without having any big meal.3) Ambiance: This is not a place for fine dining. But reasonably comfortable. Can be packed and noisy during peak lunch hours.4) Service: Very fast and waiters are responsive and not rude.5) Value for money: Extremely. A big plate of mutton biryani, mutton korma and chai will cost under AED30.00The biryani here was voted as No. 2 in the whole of UAE. I think this is an underating. It deserves better rating, perhaps NO. 1.

Review №84

Pal Liyari is one of the top 5 Briyani Restaurant in Dubai. Briyani is Signature Sind flovoured pulove, and the taste is simply too good to resist return to the resturant.Along with the Briyani the bread(Tandoor Roti) is simply outstanding with soft inner and perfectly baked outer crust. One can simply keep on eating just the bread.Do not forget to ask for chaps, kabaab, o man! The food keeps on getting too good more you ask for.Prices are absolutely affordable, cleanness and hygiene is 5 Star. Though the space bit congested yet you have family section.Whatever it may take, like parking problem but time to wait to get your table I insist do not miss this Daily Food Festival.To good to be experienced.
