The beef khausa is a standout: noodles, coconut milk, meat curry, chips, lemon and fried onion.
The jumbo bun kebab can be substantial enough for two people, making it one of the more practical shared orders.
Chicken Bihari rolls are repeatedly praised, with one long-time customer saying the taste still matched the original Oud Metha branch.
The Mamzar branch has a large outdoor area alongside indoor seating, giving families more room than the smaller sites.
A family seating area and neatly arranged tables were specifically noted at the Mamzar branch.
One regular described the takeaway as neatly packed, with no oil leaking from the containers.

Request Mild. If you do not usually eat spicy food, ask for less chilli before ordering; several menu items are described as spicy.
Use Hotel Entrance. For the least confusing approach, keep right at the Mövenpick building and use the hotel entrance.
Expect Paid Parking. Parking is available, but budget for a paid space rather than assuming parking is free.
Check Delivery. For time-sensitive meals, avoid relying solely on the official website: a diner reordered through Noon after a long delay.
Share Jumbo. The Special Jumbo Bun Kabab was reported as enough for two, so it is a sensible shared order.

Website delivery has been unreliable: one confirmed order waited nearly two hours before the restaurant said no rider was available.
Several diners felt prices were high for the portions, including a AED 32 biryani described as a very small box.
Many dishes run hot, and a requested less-spicy biryani was still received very spicy and too salty.
The restaurant can be tricky to reach because it sits inside the Mövenpick building and service-road area.
One diner reported filthy tables and an unclean dining area, so expectations for upkeep may vary.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Emly Chilli is a Pakistani street-food restaurant in Al Mamzar, known in reviews for bold, Karachi-style flavours rather than a quiet, formal meal. The clearest starting points are the bun kebabs, beef khausa and chicken Bihari rolls. Chaats, biryani and BBQ also feature regularly, with the khausa getting especially strong attention for its noodles, coconut milk, meat curry and crunchy toppings.
The Mamzar branch has indoor and outdoor seating, including a family area. One review found the outdoor space large, while another described neatly arranged, well-lit family seating. Parking is available but paid, and reaching the restaurant can take some attention: reviewers place it inside the Mövenpick building or on its service road, with the hotel entrance helping you find it.
Spice is part of the appeal, but not everyone will enjoy the heat. Ask for less chilli if needed, and confirm the request clearly; one less-spicy biryani order arrived very spicy and salty. Value is mixed too, with some diners praising deals and generous items while others found portions small for the price.
Dine-in may be safer for a planned meal than ordering through the official website. Multiple recent reviews describe missed orders, unavailable riders and waits of up to two hours, although other customers report neatly packed deliveries.
