Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5

Try Charcoal. Charcoal chicken is the clearest starting point, as several regulars call it the bestseller, though cooking consistency is worth checking.

Check Bills. Before paying, compare the payment-machine amount with your order; one AED7 wrap was reportedly entered as AED37.

Common Concerns

Cooking Issues

Multiple reviews report chicken that was undercooked, poorly cooked or over-marinated, so grill consistency appears uneven.

Uneven Dishes

Biryani receives mixed feedback: mutton biryani impressed one visitor, while chicken and Hyderabad versions disappointed others.

The Bottom Line

Golden Tasty is a casual Al Barsha restaurant with a wide, mixed menu rather than a narrowly focused grill house. Charcoal chicken is the main draw: several diners describe it as juicy, tender and well-marinated, often arriving with hummus, pita and other sides. The mutton biryani, shawarma, Chinese prawn noodles and burgers also appear in returning customers’ orders, although the biryani feedback is less consistent.

Portions are a strong point. One takeaway order of mutton biryani and chargrilled chicken with rice reportedly lasted two days, while other visitors found the pricing affordable for the amount served. Service is often described as quick and friendly, and the outdoor seating is popular in cooler weather.

Its location in Al Barsha also suits hotel guests and people coming from the nearby metro area. There are a few reasons to stay alert. Several reviews mention undercooked or over-marinated chicken, and individual dishes such as Hyderabad biryani, butter chicken and fattoush have disappointed some diners.

Check the bill before tapping: one reviewer says an AED7 wrap appeared as AED37 on the payment machine. Parking may take patience, and the dining area can feel hot or congested at times.
