Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Skip Biryani. For a safer first order, consider karahi or naan instead of biryani, which several reviews criticised as cold or dry.

Check Prices. Ask for the current price before ordering; reviews mention differences between quoted and counter prices.

The Bottom Line

Haji Sahab Restaurant is an Indo-Pakistani spot in Al Satwa where you can sit down for a quick desi meal or order lunch and dinner for delivery. The menu covers Pakistani and Indian food, and reviewers most often point curious diners towards mutton karahi, Peshawari karahi, Roghni naan and butter chicken. Breakfast parathas, including aloo and keema versions, also receive specific praise.

The strongest case for visiting is the combination of karahi and breads. One customer called the mutton karahi “way to go” and the Rumali roti “awesome”; others liked the well-marinated barbecue and Peshawari karahi. The restaurant is generally described as clean, with good seating, helpful staff and sometimes quick service.

Quality is not consistent, though. Biryani is the main warning sign: several reviews describe it as cold, dry, stale-tasting or unlike the requested dish. Prices also divide opinion.

Some diners call them reasonable, while others say the restaurant is expensive for Satwa and report mismatches between quoted and counter prices. Portions can disappoint too, with one review calling the chana daal serving tiny. If driving, plan around the reported lack of free parking.

For delivery, confirm the exact dish before sending the order, and check apps for any current discount rather than assuming older promotions still apply.
