β€οΈπŸ‡΅πŸ‡° I’ve known this restaurant since 1990 when back in the day you’d pull up and park on sand outside and the waiters would come and take your order for the best tasting tandoori in town to take back home to Umm Suqeim which wax so quick and easy to reach! Love this restaurant for genuine service, great tasting food that’s always consistent and a price that’s more than fair. Keep up the good work guys we love you! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

The best Pakistani food that I have eaten so far. I personally love their Seekh Kebab, Achari Chicken and Rogni Roti. Pocket friendly place and long waiting lines.

Had high hopes for this place but was disappointed. The staff was wonderful but the food was cold and oily. Had a chicken curry and naan but neither were great. Would try some veggie dishes next time instead.

πŸ‡΅πŸ‡°RΓ₯vi RestuarantπŸ‡΅πŸ‡° does not need much of an introduction...One of the oldest food spots in Dubai, RAVI has earned its name & fame as one of the places that serve authentic #pakistanicuisine at pocket friendly rates with no compromise on taste....The story of a man hailing from Pakistan to work here & starting this venture in 1978, this legendary restuarant has made its mark for 42yrs now in delivering the best of Pakistan...The Peshawari Mutton Karhai, Chicken Tikka, Meethi Lassi & Handi were my favss but everying else was also pretty good.

One of the best restaurants in UAE in terms of taste and quality food. The restaurant itself is very normal one. Food we ordered were Chicken Biriyani, Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Kadai and Tandoor Roti (Bread). All are very tasty. We absolutely loved it. They don’t serve Raitha with the biriyani rather you have to order it separately. Other special items are only available in the evening. We went for lunch so we couldn’t try those. RTA parking is there in front.

3/519th March 2021So came here for dinner with a few friends. Had to wait 20 mins as the restaurant was full.Got a table after 20 minutes.We ordered the Chicken Tikka (breast piece), Mutton Peshawar, Chicken Green masala and 2 Paratha.The paratha was very tasty, so was the mutton Peshawari. The chicken green masala felt a little bland for my taste. The chicken tikka was not as juicy as what I had 4-5 years ago.Would come back again, but this time I didnt quite like it.

Great place to get a taste of Pakistani food. Obviously, expect alot of goat / mutton in the dishes. For two people, we ordered the mutton peshwari (arguably their most popular dish), a mutton biryani, a salad, some roti and the butter naan. It was delicious and will be back. This place has a local vibe to it, so it might not be for everyone! Also parking may be tough right in front of the restaurant but note that there is a parking lot adjacent to the restaurant.

Easily one of the best Pakistani restaurants in Dubai. Its not high end but the food is close to the authentic desi food and the prices are low. The best items are mutton karahi, chicken tikka, Haleem and Nihari. Being located in satwa the traffic is high but we usually visited the place in the afternoon around 2 o clock and were able to find parking.

Review β„–13

The OG of all the desi restaurants in Dubai.. This is where it all began.Most amazing desi food you can found in entire Dubai, with pretty decent prices. The maintain a very Pakistani/ Indian aka desi ambiance inside the restaurant and I love eating here. Everything from their Dal to Biryani to Chai to Chicken Karahi to vegetable dishes are finger licking good. If there is one desi restaurant you have time to visit while being in Dubai, this should be the one.

Review β„–14

Was ok but seriously needs a refurbish. The food first time was good second time ordered chicken karai wasn’t tasty at all. The waiters bring you stuff you haven’t requested like the raita then expect you to pay for it. The chicken arrived lukewarm!

Review β„–15

Pakistani restaurant catering to local residents at fair prices. Its popular for both dine-in and takeaway meals with two side-by-side locations - the older looking store seeming to be more so for takeaways and the newer venue for dine-in, although we decided to sit in the older area.Food-wise its ok for this calibre of restaurant, but in current times its disconcerting to see staff with a nearly complete disregard of covid safety measures with handling of food (such as picking up and wrapping bread) without gloves or sanitising, incorrect use of facemasks by most staff including food preparers, lack of social distancing, lack of cleaning/wiping of tables between diners and general lack of cleanliness.Service is also average - they get the job done but thats about it.

Best Pakistan food in dubai. Tasty, very good quality and price. Just the wash area is not that good and clean. And its hard to get a parking on evenings and weekends. Will have to park a bit far and walk.

I have dined here quite a few times. I would be glad to give 4 stars but I am sorry to say that they have degraded the taste and quality of their food. And I can say that if they continue to do so, they might lose the charm theyve been able to build in years of effort.

Review β„–38

We had just moved over from the UK and were missing an authentic Indian meal. EVERYONE recommended Ravi and we were happy to try.Firstly, we ordered the food by phone. The ordering process was a mess. Half an hour later food had not arrived. We called and were told it’s was still being made. Phoned again after another 45 minutes and were told food is on the way. Another 30 minutes and the food arrived. By this time we were very hungry but…The Biryani was not nicely flavoured, quite bland.The seekh kebab that is normally one dish that EVERY Indian restaurant does well was one of the worst kebabs I’ve ever had! There were pieces of raw ginger and garlic, it felt under seasoned and not properly cooked.The lamb curry was tough and greasy.To top off the experience we all had a bad stomach afterwards!I have been told it’s a great place but for me, this is the worst meal we have had in Dubai. I can cook better at home and have been making more curry’s and daals from my mums recipes instead. Karachi Grill was quite decent but there’s are a lot of inauthentic Indian restaurants in Dubai and food is poor.

Review β„–43

Heard a lot about its authentic Pakistani taste but found it extremely over rated. It was far too blande for the real Pakistani cuisine and on top of it, the food was flooded with oil. Yes the prices are very cheap but you can find hundred other restaurants serving much better Pakistani food at more or less the same price point. Never Again!!

An icon - seating isnt fancy for breakfast. Tatse is authentic and service is excellent. Cleanliness and ambience is as good as you can expect from a below average priced place in Satwa. Breakfast highlight is The Channa with halwa Puri - no match to those Channas in the entire city.

Review β„–82

The restaurant was cramped and there were several items on the menu which were unavailable but the food was delicious! I would recommend this place for a inexpensive bite to eat. Frequented by a mixture of locals, visitors and expats. Don’t let the plastic table clothes and menus under the glass table toppers put you off - the fact that the place was busy says all you need to know! The food was absolutely delicious and ridiculously cheap. Portion sizes were huge and we left very happy. The waiter needs to smile more!

Review β„–86

Of course, initially the Al Jaffilya area might look a bit rough once you got yourself immersed a bit too long in the shiny and all done up (yet terribly superficial !) most touristic part of Dubai, but life, there, is a lot more genuine -and therefore- cheaper.So at Ravi’s restaurant, for pretty much the same amount of money you would spend (or rather not...!) on just one pathetic coffee at Starbucks at the Dubai Mall, you will end up with great portions of gorgeous and fresh Pakistani / Indian food.

Review β„–93

Food is OK but service is of extremely poor quality. I was given table in the back of the restaurant and every time I wanted something I had to get up walk over to the cash counter and ask manager to send someone. Not a single waiter around and us being in the corner and at the back couldn’t even shout louder for someone to hear us.No concept of customer service.Others guests came 10 minutes after us and they got their order before us and when manager told me that some items take longer to cool I pointed out that other guests ordered the same dish (dal tadka) as we did. Then only he went and checked and guess what our order was ready and getting cold but no one bothered to serve it.I finally ended up yelling at the manager when he totally ignored us and came to the other table to ask if they wanted any dessert and then walked past us as if we were invisible.
