What to Avoid (13)

Food 13

  1. Beef kottu Net −1
    “We ordered string hoppers with babath, which was tasty, and one beef kottu — which made us sick. When we complained, the server only smiled and did not take the issue seriously. We even gave the beef from the kottu to the server and asked the chef to taste it. Without tasting, it was returned to us with the explanation that it was “fresh beef from today’s batch.” The beef tasted old, had no salt or pepper, and had a strong grassy, unpleasant flavor.”
  2. Cheese kottu beef Net −1
    “We order from online 2 cheese kottu beef and chicken and this is the worst food I ever had in my life. So hard and dried, seems like old one there is no cheese and meat only they put milk its like A sin of flour 🤮🤮Plz stop selling worst foods since people are buying with trust. we had to throw everything.”
  3. Cheese kottu chicken Net −1
    “We order from online 2 cheese kottu beef and chicken and this is the worst food I ever had in my life. So hard and dried, seems like old one there is no cheese and meat only they put milk its like A sin of flour 🤮🤮Plz stop selling worst foods since people are buying with trust. we had to throw everything.”
  4. Chicken dewal Net −1
    “Its not traditional sri lanka chicken dewal, its no chicken only flour, u can see in photo,”
  5. Egg rolls Net −1
    “If you wish to enjoy the fresh taste of the Sri lankan short eats don't go here, because all of their short eats are prepared earlier and kept it on deep freezers and fried occasionally specially the egg rolls are kind of rubber ball because of over freezing and frying”
  6. Fruit salad with ice cream Net −1
    “We also ordered a fruit salad with ice cream, and the fruits did not seem fresh at all. They looked old and tasted stale, which again raised hygiene concerns for me.”
  7. Lamprais Net −1
    “As for the Lamprais, it was by far the worst—and least appetizing—version I’ve ever had.”
  8. Lumprice Net −1
    “The lumprice was extremely tasteless and watery. Sri Lankan food is usually rich in flavor, spicy, and well-seasoned, but this food had none of those qualities.”
  9. Pol roti Net −1
    “And pol roti totally not cooked, not recommend its not sri lanka food!!!”
  10. Seafood cheese kottu Net −1
    “ordered the Seafood Cheese Kottu from Miamix and was quite disappointed. There was very little seafood in it—only three small prawn pieces. Most of the dish was filled with vegetables, making it feel more like a vegetable kottu than a seafood kottu. The taste was also not close to authentic Sri Lankan kottu. Unfortunately, I would not recommend it if you’re looking for a proper seafood kottu.👎”
  11. Seafood nasi Net −1
    “Im a regular customer of the Sharjah branch and as we went to the Al Barsha area for a hotel stay I ordered a seafood Nasi from the miamix al Barsha. The food was not to the standard of what I eat at the miamix Sharjah. It was just like a normal fried rice. Not tasty At all.”
  12. Sri lankan lamp rice Net −1
    “Today , we tried Sri Lankan Lamp rice today , even restaurant does not what is lamp rice , they brought yellow rice and separate chicken dish & other dishes convincing us this lamp rice . Eventough the dish is different, it is not tasty and quality of the food is worst”
  13. Yellow rice Net −1
    “Today , we tried Sri Lankan Lamp rice today , even restaurant does not what is lamp rice , they brought yellow rice and separate chicken dish & other dishes convincing us this lamp rice .”

The Bottom Line

Miamix is a Sri Lankan restaurant in Al Barsha with a menu built around dishes such as cheese kottu, rice and curry, lamp rice, short eats and tea. It is worth considering if you are craving familiar Sri Lankan flavours: several diners describe the food as authentic and homestyle, while one regular called the Cheese Kottu especially good for its portion and value. There are also easy options for a lighter visit.

Ginger tea, fish roti, spicy snacks, sweets and bakery items all receive positive mentions, and one review describes plenty of seating, nearby paid parking and neat washrooms. The atmosphere has been called warm and welcoming, with a fish tank adding a relaxed touch. The main caution is inconsistency.

Alongside enthusiastic reviews, diners describe watery gravy, bland rice and curry, salty dishes, tough chicken, stale fruit and seafood with very little seafood in the portion. Lamp rice is another point of disagreement, with some customers saying it arrived as yellow rice and separate sides rather than a traditional preparation. 15pm.

Ask for zero spice if needed, call ahead for pickup, and confirm operating hours before travelling.
