“I ordered a grilled chicken platter with a generous side of crispy fries, and the portion size genuinely surprised me — it was more than enough for one person, and great value for the price, especially considering the AED 1–50 price range. The chicken was well-marinated and had a nice char from the grill, with the seasoning coming through in every bite.”

“And we picked two curries for porotta: mango fish curry, which is made up of avoli (pomfret) and spring chicken. The porotta was fresh and crisp, and the spring chicken was both tasty and of superior quality. The fish curry was both plenty and delicious. However, the fish was not fresh, which is why it was given three stars rather than four.”

Check prices. Confirm the current price before ordering; one customer found the displayed price differed from the amount charged.
Avoid peak delivery. For delivery, allow substantial extra time or consider another option during busy periods; one grilled chicken order took over two hours.
Try off-peak. Visit outside busy periods if you want a table or quicker service, as the small diner can be crowded.
Clarify biriyani. Ask whether the mutton biriyani is fully dum or curry biriyani before ordering, since one customer received the latter instead.
Check takeaway food. Inspect takeaway orders before leaving and raise missing additions immediately; one fish-fry order arrived cold and lacked requested onions.

Delivery reliability is a serious concern: reviews describe waits of 88 minutes, nearly three hours and over two hours.
Several customers report being charged more than displayed or quoted prices, including different prices across branches or days.
Food quality varies: customers mention dry or overcooked chicken, cold dishes, and a fish dish described as stale-smelling.
Reviews report hair on chicken, insects in the dining area and bone pieces in kothu porotta.
The restaurant is described as small, with limited space and possible table waits during peak periods.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.
beef curry with paratha
“I used to love having breakfast here with my wife — we’d always order the same meal (beef curry with paratha), and it would usually cost around 20–25 AED”Google review · March 2026
The Bottom Line
Green Land Restaurant is a casual, 24-hour stop in Al Qusais for filling food rather than a polished sit-down occasion. Grilled chicken is the clearest draw: one review describes a generous platter with well-marinated, charred chicken and crisp fries, while another calls the charcoal version excellent and spicy. Kerala and South Indian choices are also prominent, including ghee roast dosa with beef curry, porotta, ghee rice with chicken curry, biriyani and karak tea.
Prices can look attractive. A customer reported biriyani at 12 AED, and another remembered a beef curry with paratha breakfast costing around 20–25 AED. 50 AED at this branch versus 28 AED elsewhere.
The main practical concern is consistency. Dine-in service is sometimes praised as friendly and fast, but delivery reviews describe waits from 45 minutes to nearly three hours. Other complaints mention cold, overcooked or foul-smelling food, hair on chicken and insects around the dining area.
The small restaurant can also fill up, so an off-peak visit and a price check before ordering are sensible precautions.
