Try Shawarma. Put the shawarma near the top of your first order; a repeat customer said they returned almost 12 times for it.
Ask Spice. If you prefer gentler seasoning, ask about the biryani's masala level before ordering; one diner found it too spicy.
Book Catering. For a desert BBQ or office gathering, ask about full-service catering: one 15-person group said it reduced the event workload.
Explore Veg. Vegetarians should look beyond the grills and try the Indian chaat; reviewers also mention less-oily home-style vegetable dishes.
Consider Tiffin. If you need regular meals, ask about the monthly lunch-and-dinner value meal rather than ordering individually.
Plan the visit
One recent reviewer felt the food was expensive for its quality and said nearby places offered better food.
A customer reported receiving chicken boti through NOON that smelled bad and had to be discarded.
The biryani was too heavily spiced for one reviewer, so diners sensitive to masala may want to ask about the preparation.
One customer reported explosive bowel movements the day after eating, although this was an isolated review among the supplied feedback.
The Bottom Line
Grills Curry House is a compact Indian and Pakistani restaurant in Oud Metha with a menu that moves from charcoal BBQ and tandoor dishes to curries, biryani and shawarma. For a first order, the strongest review trail points to shawarma, butter chicken, malai chicken and mixed grills. The shawarma has one especially committed fan, who said they returned almost 12 times in four weeks.
The restaurant is also more useful for groups than its small-outlet description might suggest. A desert BBQ for 15 people included separate vegetarian and non-vegetarian platters, with prawns and broccoli getting specific praise. Office catering has also been used for a 30-person Diwali party, and the business advertises monthly mess or tiffin service; reviewers describe the full-month lunch-and-dinner meal as affordable.
Families and vegetarian diners have reasons to consider it too. Reviews mention a family atmosphere, Indian chaat, jalebi, daal makhani and less-oily home-style vegetable food. Staff and service are regularly described as friendly and accommodating.
There are caveats. One reviewer found the food expensive for its quality, another found the biryani too heavily spiced, and a delivery customer reported receiving foul-smelling chicken boti that was discarded. Ask about spice levels, and check delivery items promptly.
