Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Avoid peaks. Visit outside busy periods if possible: reviews mention crowding and waits of 15 minutes before ordering.

Skip biryani. Biryani is a risky order; one reviewer specifically said to skip it after a disappointing chicken biryani.

The Bottom Line

Eat and Drink Restaurant in Al Garhoud works as both an everyday cafeteria and a family-event venue. You can come for shawarma, grills, Indian comfort food or Indo-Chinese dishes such as Schezwan fried rice; the upstairs party hall has hosted birthdays, weddings and larger gatherings. Reviews also mention takeaway, delivery and quick breakfast stops with fresh milk tea.

The strongest food-specific praise goes to the shawarma, mutton soup, grilled dishes and fresh juices. One long-time customer has been eating the shawarma here for over two decades, while another found the mutton tender and the soup especially tasty. Portions are described as fair for the pricing, and the menu is broad enough for mixed Arabic and Indian tastes.

Consistency is the main caution. Other diners received watery or old-tasting soup, rotten fruit in a cocktail, burnt chicken and a chicken biryani they found bland. Service reports range from friendly and fast to rude, unresponsive and very slow; delivery waits have exceeded 90 minutes.

The restaurant can also be crowded, and one review noted an unpleasant smell near the family dining stairwell. For a first visit, consider shawarma or grilled food, check that drinks and soup are fresh, and confirm delivery orders carefully. If you are planning a celebration, the hall’s spacious setup and event coordination are a more consistently praised part of the business.
