What to Eat at Khana Khazana Restaurant Jumeirah How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Khana Khazana Restaurant Jumeirah, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Khana Khazana Restaurant Jumeirah, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Check Temperature. If you choose the buffet, ask whether the hot dishes are being replenished or kept hot before serving yourself.
Allow Time. For a sit-down lunch, leave plenty of time in your schedule; one review reported a total visit of 2 hours 30 minutes.
Use Parking. If you are driving, ask about the hotel’s free parking for restaurant guests; free WiFi is also available.
Ask for Roti. Ask whether tawa roti can be made on request, since one diner specifically appreciated this option.
Book Ahead. For birthdays or large groups, arrange the seating, menu and event details in advance; reviews describe the venue as suited to hosted functions.
Try Biryani. The Lamb Biryani was the standout dish for one diner, while the Kadai Paneer and Garlic Naan were also well received.

Common Concerns
Inconsistent Quality
Food quality varies sharply between visits: some diners loved the buffet, while another found every dish disappointing.
Slow Service
One lunch took 2 hours 30 minutes, with the reviewer specifically calling the food service turnaround very slow.
Buffet Temperature
A buffet diner said the dishes needed to be kept hotter during the service period.
Weak Flavours
Specific complaints included sweet-tasting paneer curry and dal makhani, dry bhendi masala and bland biryani.
Dessert Letdown
The Iftar buffet received praise for its salads, starters and mains, but the desserts were considered weaker.
Customer-reported prices

The Bottom Line
Khana Khazana is an Indian restaurant in Jumeirah that works both as a regular dining spot and a hotel-based event venue. You can choose from à la carte dishes such as Lamb Biryani, Kadai Paneer and Garlic Naan, or try the Fusion Buffet. The restaurant also hosts birthdays, baby showers, conferences and larger family gatherings.
The strongest pattern in the reviews is event support. Guests describe welcoming staff, smooth arrangements and a family-friendly atmosphere, with décor, seating and timing handled well for celebrations. The Ibis Styles setting adds free parking for restaurant guests, free WiFi and a dedicated pathway for POD access.
One birthday lunch review also reported no waiting at lunchtime. Food feedback is more mixed than the event feedback. Lamb Biryani, Kadai Paneer, seekh kebab and tawa roti made on request receive specific praise, while other diners found the buffet underwhelming or complained about bland biryani, sweet-tasting curries and dry bhendi masala.
Buffet dishes may also need better heat retention, and one lunch took 2 hours 30 minutes. If you are booking a function, the reviews suggest planning ahead and discussing the details clearly. For a casual visit, consider the buffet’s value, but check freshness and temperature when you arrive.
