The Good Stuff
Bihari Kabab
Bihari kabab is repeatedly singled out for its smoky, juicy, soft texture and full flavour.
Breakfast
Weekend breakfast is a draw, especially beef nihari with paratha; halwa puri and aloo paratha also received strong feedback.
Fresh Naan
Fresh hot naan and tandoori roti can make the nihari meal better, with multiple reviews specifically praising the bread.
Family Setting
One family review found the restaurant clean, neatly presented and kid-friendly, with generous portions for the price.
Late Hours
A review says the restaurant is open around the clock, making it useful for late-night meals or suhoor.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Availability. If visiting late for suhoor, confirm which nihari is available first; one diner received conflicting answers about beef, mutton and gravy.
Ask About Spice. Ask about spice levels before ordering, particularly when dining with children; a review says most dishes are spicy.
Check Portions. For nihari or barbecue, check the portion and meat quantity before ordering more, as several diners found servings small.
Use Parking. RTA parking was reported outside the Al Barsha branch, which is useful when arriving by car.
Try Breakfast. For a breakfast visit, consider aloo paratha, halwa puri or beef nihari with paratha; reviews describe these as hot and tasty.
Request Hot Food. Ask for dishes to arrive hot and check them promptly, since some reviews mention cold nihari and warm drinks.

Common Concerns
Inconsistent Food
Food quality varies: reviews range from exceptional nihari and barbecue to cold nihari, poor kebabs and meat described as undercooked or tough.
Small Portions
Some diners felt portions were too small, including a special nihari order with too little meat for two servings.
Service Errors
Some reviews report wrong orders, missed change requests and long waits, including chai taking about 30 minutes.
Spicy Dishes
Much of the food can be spicy, which one iftar diner felt made the restaurant unsuitable for children.
Iftar Problems
An iftar buffet review reported missing listed dishes, slow refills, a malfunctioning AC and water leaking onto the floor.

The Bottom Line
Daily Restaurant in Al Barsha is a Pakistani dining spot where the clearest reason to visit is its nihari. Beef nihari is praised as authentic and deeply flavoured by several diners, while Bihari kabab, mutton Peshawari karahi and biryani also appear among the more successful orders. Fresh naan or tandoori roti is a useful pairing, especially at breakfast.
Breakfast has a loyal following: reviewers mention beef nihari with paratha, aloo paratha and halwa puri, with one saying halwa puri is available until 12:30am. The restaurant has also been described as clean, neatly presented and suitable for family meals, with outside seating and RTA parking reported nearby. One review says it is open 24/7, though late-night diners should confirm dish availability before arriving.
The experience is not entirely consistent. Some diners received excellent service and hot, fresh food, but others reported cold nihari, small meat portions, wrong orders and slow chai. A few reviews also describe tough or undercooked meat and disappointing kebabs.
Much of the menu can be spicy, so ask before ordering for children. If choosing a special nihari, one customer reported paying 56 AED, but felt the meat quantity was low.
