The Good Stuff
Fish thali
The unlimited fish thali is a useful lunch option, with one reviewer finding the flavours dependable and service fast.
Charcoal dishes
Chicken, fish and beef charcoal dishes are repeatedly described as well prepared, with Pepper Chicken Charcoal singled out.
Warm welcome
Several reviews describe friendly, attentive hospitality, including staff who made diners feel welcome from arrival to departure.
Value meals
Some customers find the portions and pricing reasonable, including a Poori Bhaji reported at AED 7.
Celebration feast
The Vishu Sadhya included around 26 traditional dishes, arrived warm and fresh, and was enough for three people from two sets.
Family setting
A review mentions seating inside, outside and on the first floor, plus outside car parking and a park opposite.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check availability. Ask what is actually available before ordering; one group was delayed by unavailable menu items and a reheated egg curry and idiyappam.
Confirm delivery. If ordering delivery, repeat-check the items and follow up early: reviews mention wrong orders, long waits and calls needing reminders.
Try the thali. For a straightforward South Indian meal, consider the unlimited fish thali, which a reviewer found flavourful with quick service.
Check late rates. For late-night pickup, confirm item prices first; one customer reported an extra AED 2 added to each item at 11:40 pm.
Allow time. For dine-in, allow extra time during busy periods, since customers report long waits even for simple parata and masala dosa.
Use parking. If driving, a review reports outside car parking; the park opposite also offers a nearby post-meal walk.

The Bottom Line
Green City Star Restaurant in Al Muteena is a broad South Indian and Kerala-style restaurant where the strongest reasons to visit are regional dishes and charcoal cooking. Reviewers specifically praise Pollichathu, Idiyappam Kothu, fish mango tawa and Pepper Chicken Charcoal. The unlimited fish thali is another practical choice for a simple, filling meal, while the Kerala-style porotta, beef and mutton dishes appeal to diners looking beyond standard South Indian fare.
There are good signs for groups: reviews mention a pleasant atmosphere, family dining space, seating across several levels and outside car parking. The Vishu Sadhya is notable for delivery occasions, with around 26 traditional dishes arriving warm and fresh; two sets reportedly fed three people. Prices are sometimes described as reasonable, and one review recorded Poori Bhaji at AED 7, although another called prices high and portions small.
Service is the main variable. Dine-in waits have included about 25 minutes for masala dosa, while delivery complaints describe waits beyond 90 minutes, missing items and incorrect orders. Confirm availability and prices before ordering, especially late at night, and allow extra time if you are hungry or on a schedule.
