What to Eat at GREEN LAND RESTAURANT - KARAMA How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For GREEN LAND RESTAURANT - KARAMA, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of GREEN LAND RESTAURANT - KARAMA, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Check Chicken. Before eating charcoal chicken, check that it is fully cooked; one diner reported bleeding chicken after a 30-minute wait.
Confirm Orders. If ordering vegetarian food, confirm the dish at handover; a Masala Dosa order was reportedly replaced with an Egg Dosa.
Late-Night Check. Call before a late-night visit: despite a 24-hour claim, one review says the kitchen stopped serving after 2 a.m.
Allow Delivery Time. For delivery in Karama, allow extra time or consider collecting; one customer waited more than an hour for a one-kilometre order.
Check Extras. Ask what is included before ordering grilled chicken: one diner was charged separately for khubus and garlic sauce.

Beef Portions
Beef dishes have been criticised for containing mostly bones, fatty pieces or thin gravy rather than substantial meat.
Slow Delivery
One delivery customer reported waiting more than an hour for a one-kilometre order.
Order Accuracy
A vegetarian customer received an Egg Dosa instead of Masala Dosa and found the replacement handling disappointing.

The Bottom Line
Green Land Restaurant is a broad Indian and Kerala-focused restaurant in Al Karama, with Arabian dishes on the menu as well. The most useful reasons to consider it are the charcoal and grilled chicken, Kerala breakfast plates such as puttu with green peas masala, and familiar sides including porotta, appam and chutneys. Indoor and outdoor seating give you some flexibility, and several diners describe the staff as welcoming and attentive.
The food is not equally reliable across visits. Positive reviews describe soft puttu, fluffy appam, flavourful grilled chicken and a memorable Kumbilappam, while other customers received cold or poorly prepared beef dishes, watery curry, disappointing biryani or undercooked charcoal chicken. Beef curry in particular has been criticised for having mostly bones and fatty pieces rather than meat.
There are practical cautions too. Delivery has reportedly taken more than an hour for a one-kilometre order, and a vegetarian customer received Egg Dosa instead of Masala Dosa. Check takeaway orders carefully, confirm dietary requirements, and ask about extras such as khubus or garlic sauce.
