The Bottom Line

Daily Restaurant is a Pakistani restaurant in Al Qusais that people mainly visit for nihari, Bihari kabab and other desi comfort food. The strongest review pattern is around nihari: diners mention plain, maghaz and bheja versions, while Nalli Nihari and a weekend Special Nihari are reported as limited-time choices. Beef Bihari kabab, gola kabab, paya and haleem also receive favourable mentions.

The food is often described as generous and reasonably priced, with particularly large tandoori rotis. Biryani opinions are less steady: some diners praise the mutton biryani, while others found little meat or raised concerns about beef being mixed with mutton. Chicken tikka, karahi and some other chicken dishes have also had disappointing reviews.

Oil is a recurring complaint, so lighter eaters may want to ask about preparation. Service can be quick and efficient, but several recent reviews describe rude or inattentive staff and poor responses to complaints. Cleanliness concerns include dirty washrooms, glasses and chipped plates.

If nihari is the goal, arrive earlier rather than around 3:30pm, when one diner found it sold out. Check the bill, ask about unavailable dishes and expect paid parking nearby.
