The Bottom Line

LIMS CAFE - NAIF PARK is a casual Naif restaurant where you can eat in the park setting, order delivery, or choose from a notably broad menu. The dishes mentioned most often include biryani, grill items, momos and Kerala food. The atmosphere is a real part of the appeal: reviewers describe the spot inside Naif Park as peaceful, calm and comfortable rather than noisy.

The strongest dish-specific feedback is for biryani, with one diner praising its authentic rice and generous quantity. Black Pepper Charcoal also received a particularly enthusiastic review, while momos, beef with paalkappa, butter chicken and avocado shake all have supporters. Pricing can feel reasonable: one review records chicken biryani at 12 dhr, although another says a 27 AED plate shawarma was poor value.

Service and food quality are not completely consistent. Several customers describe kind, attentive staff and on-time delivery, but others report very slow delivery, cold samosa and shawarma, missing egg in egg fried rice, or dry and tasteless dishes. More serious complaints mention hair in soup, an insect in Sunday breakfast and a bone in chicken momos.

Check takeaway orders and food temperature, and consider morning service, which one reviewer praised.
