3/510th April 2021Came here with a group of friends. Was easy to locate and the place is decorate beautifully. Lovely ambience and the show pieces are Instagram worthy.I had the mixed platter which was tasty, the lamb chops being my absolute favourite.I tried the chaply kebeb, wasnt up to my liking. A little too dry.The whole chicke fry was a little dry as well.We ordered a chicken curry as seen in the picture which was brilliant with the naan and roti.One my my veg friends ordered a Dal curry which to my was fantastic! Very tasty!For drinks I ordered a sweet lassi which tasted good.Would definitely come back here for sure.

The BBQ is really good. The chicken karhai was OK and you can definitely find better options in Dubai. Chicken bihari roll is also great. All in all its a good one time try if youre really craving desi cuisine.

Lamb Charsi Karahi has no lamb but mutton pieces and the one they are calling rotis were actually tiny biscuits. Staff was more interested in watching PSL cricket match then to service you. Meat was not properly cleared from unwanted attachments beside fat (which is required ofcourse in charsi karahi). Trust me.. I can cook better Karahi then this one. Their other branch in Jumeirah is good.

Truck Adda has been in our list of go-to Pakistani restaurants for quite sometime now. Located in paramount location in JLT, it has typical dhaaba vibe.The services are great and staff is courteous. They should implement a efficient way where guests can can call the server during midway. We love their Karahis and have almost tried all of them. Their Peshawari Karahi is too good. The Laal roti (wheat bread) is nice and easy on stomach.They have variety in their menu and is reasonabe in terms of cost. Good place to go when craving for Pakistani food.

Amazing food with awesome themeAlways love the amazing lamb dishes they serveVery cooperative staff & management.At affordable pricesJust a small thing on which i want the management to rethink is to reconsider the prices of lassi, i mean seriously a glass of lassi costs 14 AEDAnyways i love this restaurant thats why they deserve 5 stars from meHope they do think about their menu prices

While a lot of effort has gone into making the decor, art work, crockery, furniture etc come across in colors of truck art unfortunately same amount of attention to detail in making the food taste good seems to be missingChapal kabab tasted nothing like chapal kabab but was more of a burger patty. Chicken Tikka was over spiecy and slightly under cooked and the BBQ platter while quite filling didnt taste that great.Sweet lassi was super sweet so much that you could actually crunch the sugar in your mouth and Kashmiri chai was nothing exceptional eitherGood to experience it once but dont think I will be going there again

Nice place with both indoor and outdoor seating. Nice view of JLT. Food is nice esp chicken green Karahi and naan was superb. The mutton biryani was passable. And even after complait the management was least bothered. Need to take care of customers in a better way.

I cam here before with a Pakistani friend and he knew what to order. Yesterday when I saw the place I remembered and chose to have my lunch here instead of the kcal neighbor. I asked the waiter recommendation and although the food was ok, it wasn’t the best. I have had better Pakistani. This is not to say I will not come again, for sure I will. I am hopeful they will have dishes that I’ll like more than what I had yesterday. It was chicken in tomatoes gravy. Again, I can’t remember the name but I have taken pictures.

Pakistani cuisine restaurant.Had chicken keema and chicken karahi. The food is clean and spicy, roti could have been better. The outdoor seating has Jumeirah Lake view. The furniture and interiors are done on the notes of typically Pakistani Truck style.

Pakistani truck stop food right here in JLT!Starting with the ambience.The decor is brilliant. From the walls to the plates to the uniforms of the staff, everything screams trucks of Pakistan.The smell of charcoal greets you as you get close to the door and the food echoes the same.6 of us dined and we ordered:ChapattisGarlic naansLaal atta rotisChanna dalBhindi masalaPanneer handiChicken behari botiMutton seeks kebabAfghani beef kebabMutton seekh handiThe kebabs melted in your mouth and the accompanying dipping sauce had a chaat flavour that complimented the kebabs perfectly.The staff are courteous and they know their job. They give you suggestions and are quick to respond to your queries.Overall a great experience and I shall be back again...real soon!

This was my first visit to the much talked about place for authentic pakistani cuisine.Truck adda basically means Truck stand in Pakistan where truck drivers stop and almost all truck stands in pakistan are famous for great fresh food.Having that in mind we went there and ordered mutton peshawari karahi, truck adda special bbq chops and famous bun kabab from karachi. I was somewhat disappointed with karahi as it is supposed to be their best dish being famous with truck drivers and all. The karahi was not bad but also not great. Next was bbq chops and i must tell you that those chops are outstanding and amazing, i can go there again only for the chops alone. Next was daal bun kabab and again it was something i wanted, just too good and almost authentic taste only thing is just that they do not put onion slices in their own recipe so you have to ask them to add it to make it authentic karachi style bun kabab.The ambience is very nice and themed as truck and road, chairs are a little unconfortable being made of hard wood without cushion.Lastly the staff and this is why they are getting one star less. Firstly we did not feel welcome as nobody greeted or seated us, even though my father who is an elderly person was with me and apparently the supervisor or incharge even saw us entering. We did not even get a nod or a smile from either of the 2 people behind the counter.The waiter who served us was super awesome nice guy with complete package.Overall good experience and i shall definitely visit again.

Review №52

Delicious. Economical. Our top restaurant for an oriental Pakistani/Indian dish in entire Dubai. Although we have eaten several times, tried the entire menu, we cannot decide what to recommend – every dish is delicious. The food is half the experience. The indie-like set-up and homey vibe representing the colorful vibrant city life of Pakistan stops off the entire experience.Check out our profile for more reviews!

I visited Truck Adda (JLT branch) with my husband and our experience was quite unpleasant as the AC was not functioning and the overall state of the restaurant was untidy. The service was quite slow which is quite surprising since we were the only people there!Namkeen boti was not cooked thoroughly so the texture was tough to the bite and the masala tasted raw. Chicken karahi which is usually excellent was only mediocre. The kheer and chai did not taste fresh.Sweet lassi, white naan and choice of music was good.Hope management looks into these issues.

They have best Pakistani style karak chai that if you are a tea lover would definitely love other than that its a good Pakistani place I find it a bit over priced though. Their qeema naans are to be tried

Visited a couple of times. The first time I had a curry and was a little disappointed, the chicken was a little tough and didn’t seem like it had been marinated enough. The second time though blew me away. We had mutton seekh kebabs and chicken boti and it was some of the best food I’ve had. The Kashmiri tea is great too. Highly recommended.

I have been here on last month. We ordered Lamb Karahi, Chicken Karahi, Tandoori Roti. We can dine inside or outside the restaurant. They served the food in 20 minutes. The Chicken Karahi is good but Lamb is not up to the expectation. The serving should be improve. Moreover when you order food you should have an idea about the number of bread you ordered because we felt miscalculation on the bill twice.

I wish there could be black stars too to give negative feedbacks about restaurant. We drove almost 25 kms to enjoy food at truck adda. We had to wait to get seated but nonetheless, we were seated outdoors which was an awesome ambience. (One star is only for location). We ordered our food and finally the food was brought to our table with very arrogant waiter. No mannerism taught to waiters. We ordered some authentic murgh handi ( highly recommended) but we got uncooked PATHETIC chicken handi , UNSALTED aalu palak, fresh nans, rotis and finally TASTELESS lassi. We informed waiter about uncooked chicken to which waiter informed as ‘this is how the dish is prepared’. When we highlighted the food quality and kind of service to manager. He was also least bothered about customer’s satisfaction and did not even bother to understand the situation. People visit the reataurant only for ambience and the theme which is undoubtedly good and complete opposite to their service and food.Our overall experience was worst and we have decided that we would never recommend truck adda restaurant to our friends.
