“The highlight, however, is their biryani. Rather than sticking to the same formula, they often try new variations and flavors, and more often than not, they get it right. The biryani consistently delivers on taste and is easily one of the strongest items on their menu.”

“But today I had a cocktail juice in which I got pieces of plastics inside. What is this, are they putting plastics also into the juicer-blender. Almost when I finished half the glass I got three tiny pieces of plastics. Don’t know by then how many pieces might have gone into my stomach. I am worried now for my stomach. From now I will never have a juice from Arabian Grill especially from the DIP branch.”

Check the bill. Confirm add-ons at payment: one diner was quoted AED 5 for extra rice but charged AED 8.
Confirm orders. Repeat the dish name when ordering, especially charcoal varieties, because one pepper charcoal order arrived as peri peri.
Allow time. Build in extra time for a meal or collection; reviews describe orders taking more than 30 minutes or even longer.
Try grilled items. If choosing between sections of the menu, grilled items have stronger support than biryani in one review.
Check drinks. Be cautious with juices after a review reported finding three tiny plastic pieces in a cocktail juice.

Service ranges from friendly and attentive to uninterested, slow or unhelpful when an order goes wrong.
Long waits have been reported for dine-in orders, advance collections and delivery.
Reviews mention mixed-up deliveries and a pepper charcoal order arriving as peri peri charcoal instead.
One customer was told extra rice would cost AED 5 but was charged AED 8.
One review specifically says the restaurant was not kid friendly, so families may want to set expectations.
The Bottom Line
Arabian Grill Restaurant in Dubai Investment Park suits diners who want a wide menu rather than a narrowly focused grill house. Charcoal chicken with rice is one of the safest-looking bets from the reviews, while Arabic shawarma, chicken fried rice, mixed grill and biryani also appear often. The biryani has a particularly loyal following, including praise for changing flavours and a strong mutton version.
There is room for vegetarians too. Paneer Tikka Masala, Egg Fried Rice and Garlic Nayana were all specifically enjoyed, and the avocado falooda gets unusually enthusiastic attention for its ice cream, nuts and dry fruits. Grilled fish was also described as fresh, tender and well seasoned.
Value is a recurring positive: several diners call the prices reasonable, and one review highlights filling burgers and generous portions. The experience is less predictable on the service side. Customers have reported slow serving times, neglected advance orders, mixed-up deliveries and staff who did not respond well to complaints.
One diner also found the setting unsuitable for children. Check the bill carefully, particularly add-ons such as rice, and repeat your exact charcoal order. If you are collecting food or dining during a busy period, allow extra time.
