Tips for a Better Visit

1

Check stock. Ask about mutton biryani before ordering, especially at lunch; one Friday 2pm visit found it unavailable.

2

Try lite. If you are dining alone or wary of portions, ask for the lite biryani, which is specifically described as a small-portion option.

The Bottom Line

Jabbar Bhai Restaurant is an Indian restaurant in Al Karama where biryani is the main draw. The strongest reviews focus on Chennai-style mutton biryani, Hyderabadi biryani and Chicken 65. Diners describe the biryani as aromatic, balanced and tender, with one comparing it to a South Indian Muslim wedding feast.

Anju Kari Soru is another worthwhile order if you want a less familiar South Indian dish; its subtle gravy and dalcha earned a specific compliment. There is a friendly, personal side to the service. One review describes the owner checking every table, while others mention polite, helpful staff and a family-friendly atmosphere.

The restaurant is also reported to serve fresh biryani late in the evening, including at 9pm, and is easy to reach by metro. RTA paid parking is mentioned, but nearby parking is also described as difficult. The practical caveat is space.

Seating is very limited, and one family of four was told to wait 30 minutes. Portions and pricing divide opinion: reviews mention a small regular mutton biryani and only three pieces of Chicken 65 for AED15. Check mutton biryani availability before going, consider the lite portion for one, and avoid peak periods if you need a table.
