The Bottom Line

Beresta is an Indian restaurant in Business Bay with a menu that leans into biryanis, Mughlai flavours and traditional North Indian cooking. The dishes most clearly backed by reviews include mutton biryani, Rajasthani laal maas, egg biryani and chicken tikka biryani. The laal maas was praised for tender meat, while the egg biryani stood out for its flavourful masala and well-cooked rice.

Portions are often described as generous, and one visiting party had leftovers packed away. Service is another consistent strength, with reviews mentioning quick meals, friendly attention and a late 11 pm dinner that was still served promptly. Mango lassi and masala chai are useful additions if you want something beyond the main dishes.

The setting includes indoor and outdoor seating, with the outdoor area offering Burj Khalifa and skyline views. On comfortable days, it may be the better choice: one review found the interior short on fresh air, while another reported non-working air conditioning and a small, hot dining room. Cleanliness was also criticised once, with tables, chairs and the floor needing more attention.

Prices are generally considered reasonable for the location; check Zomato for a reported discount and ask about basement parking.
