The Bottom Line

Ghee Rice Restaurant is a hotel-based dining room in Al Garhoud with a distinctly spacious setup. You can order Kerala and South Indian favourites such as Ghee Rice, Mutton Pothichoor and biryani, or choose more international-leaning dishes from the wider menu. The restaurant also hosts Friday brunches and private functions, making it more than a small, quick-service curry stop.

The strongest reason to come is the setting. Reviews repeatedly mention the airy interior, ample seating and party hall, while the Friday brunch has been praised for its range of salads, children’s dishes, seafood, savouries and desserts. The signature Ghee Rice combo, butter chicken, tandoori lamb chops and lobster also receive specific praise in individual reviews.

Service and value are less consistent. Several diners reported slow coordination, including one wait of almost an hour, while others found portions small or prices too high. Food feedback also varies sharply: some call the meals fresh and delicious, while others describe disappointing biryani, poor-quality rice or bad-smelling chicken.

For a group, book in advance and allow extra time. Parking has been reported near the metro and airport, and the restaurant’s proximity to the airport is convenient for hotel guests or travellers.
