Choose takeaway. Takeaway may be more comfortable if you want to avoid the reported flies in the dine-in area.
Check orders. For delivery, confirm substitutions and instructions carefully; one AED 250 Noon order arrived wrong.
Try lunch box. The lunch box combo was listed for takeaway or delivery, Monday to Friday, 11 am to 4 pm—not dine-in.
Allow time. If dining in during a busy period, allow extra time: one customer waited almost 25 minutes for an order.
Use rear lot. If nearby parking is full, a reviewer mentioned an empty lot behind the restaurant.
Ask availability. If ordering a specific dish, confirm it is available first; one customer received paneer handi instead of paneer karahi.

The Bottom Line
Lahore Plate is a Pakistani restaurant in Al Jaddaf where the menu leans towards hearty Lahori comfort food, with Indian and Chinese items also described by the business. The clearest reasons to consider it are the chicken handi, haleem, mutton karahi and chicken biryani. A Talabat diner especially liked the light, fresh chana with soft hot roti, while another called the grill platter—chicken tikka, mutton kabab and Malai boti—scrumptious.
Portions are often described as generous and good value. There is a separate family seating area, and the restaurant has a takeaway-and-delivery lunch box combo with biryani, chicken handi, naan, Malai Tikka, salad, raita, gulab jamun and a drink. The review listing says it runs Monday to Friday from 11 am to 4 pm and is not available for dine-in; its price had reached AED 22 in a November 2024 update.
The main cautions are operational. Reviews mention flies in the dining area, repeated pest-control concerns, delayed deliveries that arrived cold, incorrect delivery orders and one nearly 25-minute wait in the restaurant. Parking can also be awkward, though an empty lot behind the restaurant was noted.
For a first visit, takeaway may be the safer bet, and delivery instructions or dish substitutions are worth confirming before paying.
