What to Eat at Amma's Restaurant Ras Al Khor (Br.) LLC. How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Amma's Restaurant Ras Al Khor (Br.) LLC., this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Check availability. Ask whether your chosen dish is available before ordering; one diner waited before learning the item was unavailable.
Expect waits. Allow extra time during busy periods, as one breakfast delivery was reportedly delayed until lunchtime.
Try vegetarian. If ordering a thali, consider the veg meals; one review found the chicken meals less worthwhile because of the extra charge.
Compare branches. Regulars from International City may want to temper expectations, as one customer found this branch weaker on taste and service.
Check charges. Confirm the total before paying, particularly for takeaway, as a diner reported additional parcel charges.

The Bottom Line
Amma’s Restaurant is a Tamil Nadu and Chettinad-style restaurant in Ras Al Khor Industrial Area - Ras Al Khor Industrial Area 1, with vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals. Breakfast is a strong reason to come: reviewers mention crisp masala dosa, idly, pongal, vada, chutney and balanced sambar. For lunch or dinner, biryani, fish fry and chicken dishes receive praise, with one diner especially impressed by a generously meaty, masala-packed biryani.
The experience is not entirely consistent. Some customers describe fresh, hot food, quick billing, cleanliness and friendly service, while others report watery rasam, diluted curd, undercooked prawns and a decline in taste over time. Hygiene is the most serious caution: reviews mention cockroaches and bare-hand handling of cooked rice, alongside other reviews calling the restaurant hygienic.
Service can also be unpredictable. Diners have waited for unavailable dishes, experienced delayed meals and reported rude interactions. Pricing draws complaints too; one review records Masala Dosa and Poori Bhaji at 9 AED each, while others mention parcel charges and higher-than-expected costs.
Check availability and the final bill before ordering, and allow extra time during busy periods. The newer tea shop is useful for a quick drink on the go.
