Check Parking. Use the outside parking, but confirm the fee before leaving; one review specifically says it is paid.
Avoid Lunch. Lunch can be busy, so visiting outside the midday rush may make ordering easier.
Verify Orders. If ordering a named biryani, repeat the dish when ordering and check the contents, since one Thalassery Dum Mutton Biryani order was substituted.
Try Late. The 24-hour opening makes this a practical late-night shawarma stop when other restaurants are closed.
Check Temperature. For biryani, check that the rice and chicken are hot and that chutney or salad is included before settling in.
Allow Time. For dine-in, make sure someone has taken your order promptly; one guest waited 10 minutes and left.

One review alleges cockroaches in a biryani, while another reports being served raw chicken; these are serious complaints to bear in mind.
A customer ordering Thalassery Dum Mutton Biryani received biryani rice with mutton curry instead.
Multiple reviews describe rude or unhelpful interactions with counter and phone staff.
One biryani order arrived cold, with a hard chicken piece and no chutney or salad.
A diner waited 10 minutes without anyone taking the order and left after feeling takeaway orders were prioritised.
The Bottom Line
Metro Falcon Restaurant is a casual, budget-minded stop in Trade Centre with a notably broad menu. You can come for charcoal chicken, shawarma, biryani, karak tea or fresh juices; the reviews also mention Chinese favourites such as Schezwan chicken fried rice with chicken Manchurian gravy and chicken chilli dry. Value is a clear draw.
One diner paid 55 dhs for charcoal chicken, fatoush, daal and avocado juice, while another said a ghee rice beef combo could feed three average people. The restaurant is repeatedly described as open 24 hours, so it works for a late snack as well as breakfast, where paratha, sandwiches and karak tea get regular mentions. Parking is available outside, but it may be paid, and lunch can be busy.
The experience is not completely consistent. Several customers praise fast service and friendly staff, but others report rude counter or phone interactions, unanswered calls and a 10-minute wait before anyone took a dine-in order. There are also specific complaints about a cold biryani, an incorrect Thalassery Dum Mutton Biryani order and raw chicken.
Given those reports, check that your order is correct and served hot before settling in. The overall picture is affordable, varied food with practical hours, but service and food handling deserve attention.
