What to Avoid (10)

Food 10

4 Kg bucket Net −1

“We orderd 4 kg bucket. But disappointed.”
Beef biriyani Net −1

“I ordered a beef biriyani today and was very disappointed with the quality. The dish contained mostly waste parts and bone instead of proper beef pieces.”
Chicken biryani Net −1

“Ordered chicken biryani and got just two tiny leg pieces — what a joke! Taste was bad too. Feels like they’re giving it for free, not what we paid for. Totally not worth it 👎”
Cylon porotra Net −1

“The service was exceptional, and we ordered avoli fish tava, pathiri, and Cylon porotra. The fish tawa fry and pathiri lived up to expectations, although the Cylon paratha didn't quite meet the mark.”
Dosa set Net −1

“I have been a regular customer at Curry Chatty, especially for the dosa set, which I always enjoyed. However, during my recent visit, I noticed that the dosa size has been reduced significantly—almost to half, more like a small coin size now. This was quite disappointing. If there are cost concerns, it would be better to slightly increase the price rather than reducing the portion size so drastically. The quality and experience matter, and this change takes away from what used to be a great offering. Hope the team takes this feedback positively and brings back the original standard.”
Kanji Net −1

“Today (23-11-2024) we bought kanji from there and we got salad,payasam and some other curry with kanji,we dont understand why the curd salad and payasam with kanji, atleast they can give beans with that.”
Lamb biriyani Net −1

“The worst biriyani experience ever had, had a bulk order of 4kg lamb biriyani it was very dry not enough Masala with rice meat was like half cook.”
Mutton biryanis Net −1

“Ordered two Mutton Biryanis through delivery app and got a complete disaster. The rice came in hard blocks, clearly stale and reheated – definitely not fresh. Felt like yesterday’s food just packed off again.”
Noodles Net −1

“👎👎 worst service always, noodles without fork and spoon, no soy sauce,no vinegar, and double cold food, 100 times i told to them , but they dont care, any manager still alive please train them well and stop this stupidity 👎”
Prawn biriyani Net −1

“Bought one prawn biriyani today.average taste. It’s manageable., but too pricy.. 24 AED with Excatly 3 prawns inside, not tiger prawn, just normal.. could not believe it. .. seems not dum biriyani.”

Common Concerns

Showing 2 of 4

Biryani inconsistency

Biryani reports vary sharply: one 4kg lamb order was dry with undercooked meat, while another delivery arrived stale and reheated.

Delivery delays

A customer reported significant delivery delays and no resolution after calling, so busy-time delivery carries some risk.

Customer-reported prices

These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line

Curry Chatti in Al Qusais is a Kerala-style restaurant where you can sit down for breakfast, order biryani, or stop by for tea and snacks. The menu highlights thatchattu-style and Malabar flavours through dishes such as beef fry with parotta, mutton biryani, fish pollichathu and chatti choru. Several reviews also point to the tea counter as a worthwhile reason to visit.

The strongest, most consistent praise is for Kerala snacks and drinks. Fresh milk tea, pazhampori, cutlets and other evening snacks are described as fresh and tasty, while fish dishes and beef fry receive good comments. One morning visit found two masala dosas and tea for AED 18, with ample parking nearby.

The restaurant is close enough to reach on foot from the metro, according to one reviewer, and indoor seating is available. There are important inconsistencies. Some biryani orders were tender and well flavoured, but others were dry, stale, short on meat or poor value.

Portions have also drawn complaints, including a large Kappa Biriyani that barely fed one person and a notably reduced dosa size. Evening rushes can mean crowded seating, while delivery delays and uneven service make dine-in or takeaway a safer choice when timing matters.
