“I searched for "Gola Ganda" on Google Maps, and this place appeared at the top. After confirming by phone, I visited the location and ordered a single large-sized bowl of "gola ganda," which was sufficient for two people. The taste was fantastic, with a variety of 6-8 flavors and colors. I highly recommend giving it a try.”September 2023

Visit early. For faster service, try arriving before peak hours; one takeaway visit just before the rush was served quickly.
Choose rolls. If it is your first visit, consider a beef or chicken Bihari roll; it received the strongest rating in one menu comparison.
Try khaosa. Khaosa is worth considering if you want something beyond rolls: reviewers describe it as delicious and authentically flavoured.
Check takeaway. Inspect takeaway orders before leaving and contact the restaurant promptly if needed; one customer received a completely burnt bun kebab.
Confirm catering. For catering, reconfirm the booking and slot close to the event because one Iftar party was cancelled after confirmation.
Ask spice level. If you are spice-sensitive, ask about preparation first: reviews mention inconsistent spice and a biryani made heavy by whole spices.

Quality varies: one barbecue platter review found the tikka extremely dry and lacking flavour.
A family Iftar order reportedly waited more than an hour for pizza despite ordering well in advance.
Some diners feel portions do not match the prices, including a palm-sized bun kebab priced at AED 9.
Some diners disliked being served on disposable plates or in parcel boxes instead of standard tableware.
Reviews include complaints about a very dirty toilet and a separate concern about spoiled-smelling chana chaat.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Emly Chilli is a casual Pakistani restaurant in Oud Metha focused on desi street food and familiar comfort dishes. The clearest reasons to consider it are its long-running bun kebabs, paratha rolls and chicken khaosa. Pani puri, biryani, BBQ and desserts broaden the menu, but the reviews suggest sticking to the better-known favourites on a first visit.
The bun kebab has a particularly loyal following: one customer has eaten it here for 15 years, while another praised the beef and chicken Bihari rolls. Khaosa also stands out, with reviewers calling it unexpectedly authentic and, in one older review, the best dish of the meal. Gola ganda is another useful find; a large bowl was described as enough for two people and came with six to eight flavours.
Parking near the Oud Metha branch is described as easy or ample, and the restaurant suits casual family meals. Service can be friendly and quick before peak hours, but it has also been slow when busy. Food quality is uneven: complaints include dry tikka, burnt takeaway, oily parathas, small portions and a spoiled-smelling chana chaat.
Some diners also dislike the parcel-box or disposable-plate presentation, and one review flags a dirty toilet. Catering deserves extra confirmation after a reported last-minute cancellation.
