What to Avoid (8)

Food 8

Chicken biryani Net −1

“Absolutely disappointing I ordered chicken biryani that was very salty and had one small very small piece of chicken with more bone in it not at all recommended very very disappointing”
2-Person mutton biryani combo Net −1

“I recently purchased the 2-person mutton biryani combo advertised for 25 AED, but I was unexpectedly charged 30 AED at the counter without any explanation. This is misleading pricing and completely unacceptable. On top of that, the mutton biryani was not good — the taste and quality were far below expectations, and definitely not worth the price charged. Overall, I am very disappointed with both the service and the food quality.”
Chicken noodles Net −1

“In the name of chicken noodles they threw some boiled chicken, no salt no pepper like food serves to patients.”
Garlic butter naan Net −1

“After some confusion, I finally ordered garlic butter naan and dal fry. And honestly, the dal fry amazed me — oh man, for the price I felt it was totally worth it. It was hot, fresh, tasty, and I think it was prepared right then. The garlic naan, however, was a bit too oily, and the veggies served on the side were very minimal (just a few slices of carrot and onion).”
Ghee rice Net −1

“The worst ghee rice .. ordered ghee rice and biriyani. Ghee rice is the worst. Simple plain basmati rice packed and when we complained they told this is ghee rice. Didn't expect this from such restaurant. Will not recommend to anyone”
Hyderabadi chicken biryani Net −1

“I ordered 2 portions of biryani one was chicken 65 biryani and hyderabadi chicken biryani in both the portions i was served Hyderabadi Biryani rice and added chicken 65 pieces to the other just to make it look Chicken 65 biryani. Your food quality and taste has changed over time.”
Malbari biryani Net −1

“very bad! rice was not loose. it was all clumped and stuck to each other. felt like a malbari biryani. masala also was very dry.”
Plain rice Net −1

“In the name of Biryani, received plain rice, Bones & raw meat....well done mehfil. Taking 5☆ reviews for free vouchers”

The Bottom Line

Grand Mehfil in Al Qusais is built around Hyderabadi-style food, with biryani as the main draw. Customers order chicken dum biryani, mutton biryani and Chicken 65 biryani, while others come for butter naan, tandoori chicken or Indo-Chinese dishes such as chicken Manchurian. The strongest reviews describe fragrant rice, tender meat and portions large enough for two.

There is also a reasonably broad menu beyond biryani. Regulars mention chicken rara, paneer butter masala, Gobi Manchurian and soft roti, while chai and karak are popular lower-cost extras. The setting has been described as spacious, clean and suitable for families, and one visitor found three hours of free parking beside the hypermarket.

The experience is uneven, particularly for delivery. Multiple customers reported waits of an hour or more, missed calls and poor order handling. Food quality also varies: some diners found the biryani excellent, while others received clumped rice, dry masala, tough meat or flavours they felt were not authentically Hyderabadi.

A few reviews mention dirty handwash facilities. For a first visit, dining in may be safer than relying on a tight delivery estimate. Check the bill carefully, especially combo pricing, and consider starting with Chicken 65 or a biryani portion known for generous quantity.
