“I ordered three buttermilks and clearly mentioned—multiple times—that ice should be mixed while blending. The waiter acknowledged this and said “sure.” However, while waiting, there was a heated argument happening between the waiter and the kitchen staff. After waiting for about five minutes with no progress, I went to check on the order only to realize it had not even been started because their internal argument was still ongoing. If the team was unable to prepare the order at that time, they should have informed us instead of making us wait unnecessarily. While they were blending the buttermilk, I once again reminded them to mix the ice properly. They confirmed it was done. However, when the drinks were finally served, there was absolutely no ice in them, and half of the cup was filled with foam. It was clearly not prepared as requested. They even checked the salt twice, yet ignored the basic instruction regarding ice.”

“I ordered the Karuvattu meals from the Dubailand branch, and it was extremely disappointing. The taste was very poor, and the food quality was below expectations.

Overall, a very bad experience, and I hope the management takes this seriously and improves the food quality.”

“Ultimately, I settled for a Masala Dosa, which proved to be a major letdown. The dosa itself was far from the soft, crispy texture one would expect. The layer was unacceptably hard, making it difficult to cut and eat, and it was clear it had not been prepared fresh with care.”

Check breakfast. Call before visiting for breakfast: several standard items were unavailable in one review, and the available masala dosa was hard.
Confirm delivery. Ask for the delivery time before ordering; one breakfast delivery took from 10am until 11.20am.
Ask fees. Confirm delivery charges in advance, as customers reported an AED 2 fee that was not disclosed beforehand.
Request mild spice. If you are spice-sensitive, ask about reducing the heat: one biryani was considered too spicy even by a South Indian diner.
Plan parking. Allow extra time to find a space, since parking was described as a challenge at the Dubailand outlet.
Check portions. Before choosing a premium dish, ask about the portion and meat content; one AED 30 mutton biryani had only three tiny pieces.

Several reviews describe long waits, including over 40 minutes for meals and 20 minutes for a glass of water.
Customers often say portions do not justify the prices, including biryani and starters priced at AED 20–25.
Reviews range from excellent biryani and mutton dishes to hard idli, poor gravies and food described as smelly.
Delivery reviews mention major delays and unexpected charges, including a breakfast order that arrived after 11am.
Some diners report inattentive or dismissive service, including being left unserved for over 10 minutes.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
KAARA SAARAM CORNER is a South Indian non-vegetarian restaurant with a menu that appeals most to diners looking for Tamil-style flavours. Reviews mention chicken biryani, Dindigul mutton biryani, kalaki, Cylon chicken parata and mutton chukka. Some customers say the biryani masala tastes like Tamil Nadu, while others found the same category too spicy or not worth its price.
There are worthwhile comfort-food choices. Idly with fish curry was described as a go-to order, and dinner combos plus the double masala omelette received better-value comments. Regional specials such as Jigarthanda, Madurai Malli Mutton and Ganja Karuppu Chicken also appear in positive reviews.
The main caution is inconsistency. Diners report hard idli and dosa, poor gravies, tiny or fatty mutton portions, and snacks that were too oily or spicy. Service is another recurring weakness, with reports of tables waiting over 10 minutes, meals taking more than 40 minutes and breakfast deliveries arriving well over an hour late.
Delivery charges should be confirmed before ordering, and parking can be difficult. Calling ahead for breakfast availability and asking about spice levels and portions could save disappointment.
