“We walked into this place for lunch, on a whim - and boy were we happy we did. The food was spectacular. We ordered a biriyani, butter chicken and naan. The chicken was fresh - this is important because in many places, they cook/recook old chicken and it is evident in the taste. The biriyani rice was perfectly done, with each grain separated.”

“We tried their Hyderabad Dum Biriyani (Chicken) and Chicken 65. The dishes were excellent, portion sizes apt for two average adults. Biriyani (priced at AED 35.00) was as expected, and the Chicken 65 (at AED 35.00), from the “Chinese Wok” section of the menu was a pleasant surprise. We were expecting a taste in line with what can normally be expected from an Indo-Chinese restaurant, but this one was different.”

Confirm Buffet. If you are visiting for the buffet, confirm availability and replenishment first; one diner arrived during the advertised window to find nothing available.
Allow Time. Build in extra time for service, especially if ordering tea or other items; one guest waited 15 minutes for tea.
Try Kebabs. For a first order, consider the lamb kebab or kebab platter, both specifically praised for flavour and cooking.
Choose Outdoors. Ask for outdoor seating if you enjoy a more open setting or sheesha; reviews describe the outdoor area as cool.
Check Biryani. Ask which biryani style is currently available and how it is prepared, since reviews describe noticeable changes in taste between visits.

Food quality varies sharply between visits; one reviewer said the biryani declined after the kitchen team changed.
Buffet diners reported empty dishes, missing bread and food not being replenished promptly.
Waiting times can be long: one guest waited more than 30 minutes after being told it would take three minutes.
A review reported grilled chicken that smelled and was not properly cooked, a serious quality concern.
Some recent reviewers felt portions were small for the price and described the food as below average.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Al Kebab Factory is a North Indian multi-cuisine restaurant in Dubai Internet City that attracts diners for kebabs, biryani and buffet meals. The menu has drawn praise for lamb kebab, mutton Zaffarani Biryani, butter naan and Chicken 65, while reviews also mention tandoori momos and mixed platters. Indoor and outdoor seating make it workable for family meals, office gatherings or a casual sheesha session.
The strongest food reports are quite specific: one diner called the lamb kebab exceptionally good, another praised mutton biryani for its juicy pieces and generous portion, and an older review found the biryani rice perfectly cooked with soft naan. Buffet experiences are more uneven. Some guests enjoyed the variety and special buffet offers, but others encountered missing bread, empty dishes and food that was not replenished quickly.
One visitor even arrived during the advertised evening window and found nothing available. Service is similarly inconsistent. Friendly, attentive staff are mentioned, but other diners waited over 30 minutes or found the order-taker unfamiliar with the menu.
Recent reviews also raise concerns about declining taste, small portions and value. If you go, confirm buffet availability first, allow extra time, and consider ordering from the kebab or biryani selection rather than relying on a buffet that may vary.
