The Bottom Line

Food House Restaurant is a Kerala-style, non-veg restaurant in Al Karama with a broad South Indian menu and a budget-minded feel. Breakfast is a strong reason to stop by: customers mention puttu with chicken curry, egg bhurji, egg roast and omelettes with chapati or parotta. For a fuller meal, Kerala meals, beef dum biriyani and curries are recurring favourites.

Value is one of the clearest attractions. One review describes a 10 AED meal with rice, sambar, vegetables and fish fry, while another praises generous breakfast portions and reasonably priced ghee rice combos. The setup is generally simple and no-frills, though one breakfast visit found it quiet and relaxing.

Parking can be difficult in the busy area. The main caution is service consistency, especially for orders to take away or deliver. Reviews mention late deliveries, missing items, wrong orders and the need to follow up, alongside complaints about rude communication.

Food quality is also uneven: some diners praise consistent taste, grilled chicken and noodles, while others report undercooked chicken, stale beef or poor charcoal dishes. Strict vegetarians should be especially careful after one report of fish in a veg meal. For the least hassle, confirm delivery contents and consider dining in.
