Description
Skip the tourist traps on Sheikh Zayed Road and head here for proper North Indian dhaba food that actually tastes like someone's grandmother made it—their butter chicken and tandoori preparations hit different because they're not dumbed down for the mall crowd. The lunch buffet is solid value if you're in the area, though dinner's when the kitchen really shows up with their house-made paneer and rotis that come fresh off the tawa.
