What to Eat at Bikanervala - Al Qusais 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 Bikanervala - Al Qusais, 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.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Bikanervala - Al Qusais, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Dahi puri Net +1
“I love pani puri and then I came across ‘Dahi Puri’: these cute sized snacks are similar to pani puri but tweaked up with fillings. Inside these crunchy shells are a spoonful of potato masala(boiled potatoes cooked with spices), generously covered with Dahi(yogurt), chaat masala, and the most important part is the tangy-spicy chutney/ sauce that is essential for this famous desi street food, and finally topped with some pomegranate seeds, sev(fried gram flour vermicelli), herbs and beetroot. Absolutely loved and devoured this fast eat, got my tastebuds tingling. Has all the right flavours to satisfy my much awaited cravings- spicy, sweet, tangy, savory, salty ingredients all bursting in my mouth in each bite.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Try mornings. For a quieter breakfast visit, go in the morning; one customer specifically found it quiet and uncrowded.
Order chaat. If you are visiting for street food, consider rajkachori or the extra-spicy samosa chaat rather than choosing blindly.
Check freshness. Check the smell and freshness of hot snacks and chaat before eating, given a report of spoiled dosa masala and old sev.
Expect self-service. Plan for a self-service food-court format, which suits quick meals but is different from full table service.
Plan weekends. Allow for a busier visit on weekends and public holidays; nearby parking and the metro make the location convenient.
Use the metro. Stadium Metro Station is only a short walk away, making it practical when you do not want to drive.

Common Concerns
Food quality
One visit found the masala in a dosa spoiled and the sev in sevpuri old, leading the customer to return both dishes.
Kachori issue
A customer reported a kachori with black masala, no taste and a soggy texture.
Inconsistent sweets
One review found the rasmalai not fresh, while another was disappointed that the besan laddu tasted mainly of powdered sugar.
Value concerns
Some diners felt portions and taste did not justify the price, particularly for pav bhaji and chole bhature.
Delivery trouble
A delivery order to Al Nahda Sharjah became difficult when the customer was asked to collect it instead of receiving home delivery.

The Bottom Line
Bikanervala in Al Qusais is a vegetarian Indian restaurant and sweets counter inside the Lulu food court. It suits a quick snack, breakfast, family meal or takeaway box of mithai. The most frequently useful orders mentioned in reviews include chaat, rajkachori, chole bhature, stuffed paratha and sweets such as rasmalai and gulab jamun.
The setting is spacious, bright and clean, with a lively family atmosphere. Breakfast reviewers mention dosa, chana kulcha and aloo paratha, and one found the morning especially quiet. Service is generally described as fast and attentive, while the self-service setup keeps short visits moving.
The branch is near Lulu Hypermarket and a few steps from Stadium Metro Station, with nearby parking also mentioned. There are a few reasons to check your order rather than assume every visit will be consistent. One customer returned a masala dosa after finding a strong smell in the filling and old sev in the sevpuri; another reported a soggy kachori with black masala.
Sweet quality also drew mixed feedback, including a complaint about stale rasmalai. Pricing is not uniformly viewed as good value: one diner criticised the portions of pav bhaji and chole bhature, while another described a 25 AED thali as average. Delivery to Al Nahda Sharjah caused a separate collection dispute, so the food-court visit is the safer plan.
