The Good Stuff
Fast delivery
A first delivery order with charcoal chicken and biryani arrived fresh and hot within 35 minutes.
Festive Sadya
The Vishu Sadya was praised for its traditional flavours, with payasam highlighted as a rich and perfectly sweet finish.
Generous portions
One customer reported a beef biryani portion containing four large pieces of beef.
Clean setting
A regular diner specifically praised the restaurant’s hygiene and cleanliness alongside its food and service.

Tips for a Better Visit
Avoid peaks. For a more comfortable family meal, visit a few hours before or after peak hours because the restaurant gets busy.
Check orders. Confirm that you are receiving pulao rather than biryani if ordering mutton, as one customer reported a dish mismatch.
Ask charges. Check add-on pricing before ordering extra pappadam; one review says it is charged separately.
Use nearby transit. The restaurant is reported to be about a 200-metre walk from Jaddaf Metro, with large free parking also mentioned.
Expect variety. The menu goes beyond South Indian food, with one table ordering Schezwan fried rice, beef noodles, beef chilli gravy and chicken fried balls.

The Bottom Line
Green Land Restaurant in Al Jaddaf suits diners looking for Kerala and South Indian food at local-style prices, whether they want breakfast, a full meal or delivery. Reviews specifically mention charcoal chicken, biryani, parathas and fish curries, while a seven-day visitor found the South Indian meals fresh, homely and consistently satisfying. There is plenty beyond Kerala cooking too.
Customers have ordered butter chicken, Schezwan fried rice and beef noodles, and several reviews describe generous portions. One customer said their beef biryani came with four large pieces of beef and cost 17 AED. Breakfast is another strong reason to visit, with tea and porata receiving particular praise.
Service is usually described as quick, friendly and attentive, and one regular praised the restaurant’s hygiene and cleanliness. Delivery feedback is often positive: a charcoal chicken and biryani order reportedly arrived hot within 35 minutes, although an older review recorded a one-hour wait for a short-distance delivery. Plan around busy periods if you are dining with family.
It can get crowded at peak hours, and check your order if you request mutton pulao, since one customer received biryani instead. Extra pappadam is charged separately. Jaddaf Metro is reportedly about a 200-metre walk away, and free parking has also been mentioned.
