Hard to find

The Bottom Line

Kesariyaa Restaurant in Business Bay is geared toward North Indian Punjabi and Rajasthani food, with delivery, tiffin and catering alongside a small dine-in setup. The strongest reason to consider it is the regional cooking: reviews specifically praise the Rajasthani special thali, Dal Baati Churma, gatte ki sabzi and laal maas. The Amritsari Chole Kulche and kadhi-kachori also receive enthusiastic mentions.

The thali is substantial enough that one reviewer could not finish it alone, while other customers describe generous vegetarian portions and neatly packed meals arriving hot or on time. Its tiffin service has been used for regular lunches, with reviewers noting fresh, balanced food and dependable daily delivery. For home gatherings, the kitchen can adjust menus around preferences, spice levels and budget; party orders have included buffets, live grilling and food for corporate events.

There are practical caveats. This is closer to a cloud kitchen than a conventional restaurant, and one visitor found it difficult to locate with limited dine-in seating. Food quality is not perfectly consistent: isolated reviews mention oily or bland dishes and disappointing laal maas.

Catering also needs careful confirmation, as one 30-person event reported a late grill, cold starters, missing accompaniments and insufficient quantities. For delivery or smaller orders, the packaging and portion feedback is considerably more reassuring.
