The menu has plenty of unusual puttu choices, with portions large enough for some dishes to be shared.

Beef Dishes

Beef-focused combinations are a safer bet than some of the more experimental puttu varieties, especially with curry.

What to Avoid (2)

Food 2

Karimeen fish fry Net −1

“We ordered two meals and one Karimeen (fish fry). The meals were served first, and the fish fry was brought at the end. We initially thought the delay was because the fish was freshly prepared. However, when the fish fry arrived, it was completely cold. When we asked the waiter, he clearly said it was not freshly prepared and had already been made earlier. They charged 18 AED for this cold fish fry, which is unacceptable.”
Kerala meals Net −1

“On our first day, we ordered the Kerala Meals and Fried Chicken Biryani. The biryani was truly authentic and flavorful, but unfortunately, the meals didn’t meet our expectations.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Go Early. Try arriving around 1 PM or another off-peak time; one review avoided the weekend rush by doing exactly that.

Check Portions. Ask the waiter about serving size and price before ordering; a beef roast portion was larger and more expensive than expected.

The Bottom Line

Dhe Puttu is a Kerala restaurant in Al Karama where the main draw is the range of puttu combinations. You can order options such as Neyil Moopicha Puttu with Beef Curry, Erachi Puttum Beef Fryum, Chicken Chatty Chor or a full Dhe Special Meals plate. Reviews also mention biryanis, sadya-style meals and buffet dining, so this is broader than a one-dish stop.

The strongest pattern is generous, homely Kerala food, particularly the beef dishes and more traditional accompaniments. Some diners found the Two Countries Puttu and Amar Akbar Anthony Puttu dry or ordinary, while others loved mango puttu, prawns, kadala curry and the variety itself. Chatti chor can be large enough for two, and Sulaimani is often served before the meal; buffet drinks cost extra.

Plan around the practical drawbacks. Weekend and peak-time queues can reach 40–45 minutes, while parking is difficult in the evening. Pricing is a recurring complaint, with diners advising you to confirm portion sizes before ordering.

Service is often described as friendly and quick, but delayed meals, missing items and a weakly air-conditioned section have also been reported. For a calmer visit, arrive early and ask about the bill before ordering.
