What to Avoid (15)

Food 15

  1. Boti fry Net −1
    “The Boti fry was semi cooked and not edible at all.”
  2. Brain fry Net −1
    “Asked specifically for Brain pepper roast (as I am allergic to onions). When the food came the brain fry had only onions!!”
  3. Brain pepper roast Net −1
    “Asked specifically for Brain pepper roast (as I am allergic to onions). When the food came the brain fry had only onions!!”
  4. Buttermilks Net −1
    “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.”
  5. Chennai style fried rice Net −1
    “Chennai style Fried rice is worst and Chennai style got roasted if u wanna waste ur 20.5 buck try eat and experience Chennai style really disappointed with CFR..”
  6. Chicken 65 Net −1
    “And i asked chicken 65. He gave that to me very less quantity. That I have posted in picture.”
  7. Chicken naattu kozhi biryani Net −1
    “Ordered chicken Naattu Kozhi Biryani. I didn’t know No chicken in this biryani , its only Rice . Can anyone explain please”
  8. Chicken samosa Net −1
    “Also tried their veg and chicken samosa,it fell short of expectation as it was too oily and soggy.”
  9. Kari mutton biryani Net −1
    “however their waiter recommended kari mutton biryani was overpriced and the mutton was extremely tough and dry . Barely 3 tiny 1.5 inch pieces in that for 30 dirhams. Which the waiter didn't mention which mutton biryani it was . Then ended up being the more expensive option on the list . It was extremely oily .”
  10. Karuvattu meals Net −1
    “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. I was completely fed up after eating it. This is not what I expect from this restaurant, especially considering the price. Overall, a very bad experience, and I hope the management takes this seriously and improves the food quality.”
  11. Masala dosa Net −1
    “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.”
  12. Mutton gravy Net −1
    “We ordered mutton gravy and we found all those pieces (around 10 to 12) are fully solid fat cubes. Not even a single meat piece is added to it even accidentally.”
  13. Mutton meals Net −1
    “One of the Mutton meals we tried did not have flesh, but rather only fat pieces, which were not worth the price we paid for them.”
  14. Plain dosa Net −1
    “Very Very Disappointed, No where in Dubai they charge Plain Dosa for 9 Dirhms . Its just normal plain Dosa .”
  15. Plain mutton salna Net −1
    “They forgot where they came from prices of food is really not worth to taste they are charging 7 AED for plain mutton salna but taste like edible mud water..”

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.
