The Bottom Line

Al Ibrahimi Palace Restaurant is a Pakistani buffet spot in Al Karama with enough room for family meals, office groups and celebrations. The buffet format lets you try dishes such as mutton haleem, mutton masala, biryani and BBQ; reviews also mention a live naan station and a substantial dessert spread. Party halls and space for large events are a genuine draw.

The food is not consistent. Some diners describe hot dishes, fresh refills and excellent choices including prawns, baked fish, BBQ mutton and chicken, while others found the spread limited, bland or watery. Dry BBQ, hard fish, cold curries and unavailable dishes appear in several recent complaints, so expectations should be realistic rather than based solely on the buffet’s size.

Timing matters. Ramadan iftar services have been criticised for crowding, queues and delayed refills, while weekends bring both heavier crowds and difficult parking. The washrooms, crockery and furniture also receive repeated complaints about being dated or unclean.

Check what the buffet includes before paying: reviews specifically say drinks, ice cream or water may cost extra. Reported prices vary by meal: AED 45 for a lunch buffet, AED 47 for a feast lunch, and around AED 75 for a weekend buffet, with drinks sometimes extra.
