Check hours. Confirm the current opening hours before travelling; one reviewer said the previous schedule had changed to fixed operational hours.
Try dal. If you like rich black lentils, order the dal makhani, which a reviewer rated among the best they had eaten.
Breakfast option. For an early meal, consider chole bhature; a breakfast group also enjoyed the Liberty special omelette and gudd chai.
Plan parking. Allow for RTA paid parking in front of the restaurant when planning a dine-in visit.
Expect mild. If you prefer strong heat, ask about spice levels: one reviewer found both the neza kebab and biryani very mild.
Plan the visit
One regular diner reported flies around the food, while another mentioned small black mosquitoes on the table.
A later visit had distracted staff, confusion while taking the order and repeated order reconfirmation.
The mini non-veg thali was described as below standard even though the other dishes in that meal were enjoyed.
A delivery customer noted that the restaurant no longer followed its previous schedule and now has fixed operating hours.
One diner found the neza kebab and biryani milder than expected.
The Bottom Line
Liberty Food Restaurant is an Indian restaurant in Al Quoz where diners come for North and South Indian food, with biryani, dal makhani, kebabs and thalis among the recurring choices. The menu is broader than that: reviews also mention Chinese and Thai dishes, breakfast plates, wraps and faloodas. Dal makhani is a particularly strong order for fans of kaali dal, while butter chicken and cheese naan have attracted repeat visits.
The setting is described as clean, comfortable and family-friendly, with enough room for groups and service that is often prompt and polite. Breakfast reviewers liked the choice of dishes, including chole bhature, several omelettes and gudd chai. RTA paid parking is mentioned in front of the restaurant, and one review says water is free, with warm herbal water served too.
There are a few practical cautions. Reports mention flies or small black mosquitoes around tables, and one visit had confusion during ordering. The mini non-veg thali was not a standout for one diner, and another found the neza kebab and biryani too mild.
Opening-hour information is inconsistent across reviews: older posts describe 24-hour service, while a later reviewer says the schedule changed, so check before setting out.
