Beef strips Net −1

“The beef strips seems doused in these sauces and I could barely taste the beef.”

“Starters - we ordered entree chicken skewers - again the quality of chicken was bad, but the presentation was good”
Erachi chor cheese cake Net −1

“The negatives were as follows : dishes like Biryani, Erachi chor cheese cake & Mango sticky rice desert should be avoided as they have drawbacks & lack flavors. Crowd management should be improved.”
French onion chicken soup Net −1

“To start with the soup - french onion chicken soup - the quality of chicken used is really bad and may the most cheap & hormonated chicken is used....”
Prawn curry Net −1

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 4

Check Completeness. At busy Sunday lunches, check that every sadhya includes its rasam, payasam, moru and banana before settling in.

Try Kerala Specials. For a first order, consider kanthari fish, fish mango curry or beef varatti polichathu rather than relying only on standard biryani.

The Bottom Line

Grand Entree is a fine dining, multi-cuisine restaurant in Al Karama where the strongest case is its Kerala food with a modern presentation. The menu gives you room to choose between a sadhya lunch, fish meals, biryani and more inventive dishes such as kanthari fish, fish mango curry and kappa crab with steamed rice. The sadhya is a standout when the kitchen and service are running smoothly.

One weekend lunch included a broad spread and two payasams, while an Onam sadhya was praised for its avial, black chana curry, sambar, rassam and palada and parippu payasam. The welcome drink is another memorable touch: a watermelon drink presented in a jar with a smoky mist effect. The modern décor, comfortable seating and generally friendly staff also suit family meals and group gatherings.

There is some inconsistency. Guests have reported missing sadhya accompaniments, delayed starters, bland or overly sauced fusion dishes and portions that felt small for the price. A few reviews also mention loud music or kitchen noise.

If visiting at a busy Sunday lunch, check that all accompaniments arrive; for value, compare portions before ordering several premium starters.
