Mysore masala dosa is praised for its crisp texture, spice and balanced flavours, while benne dosa has a generous size and soft centre.
Reviewers describe the food as genuinely Karnataka-style, including homemade-tasting Bangalore and Mysore dishes and traditional nati meals.
The ragi bread is an unusual highlight, described as earthy and nutritious and rarely found this well in Dubai.
Fresh Puran Poli, also called obbattu or holige, is singled out as a rich ending with generous accompaniments.
The interiors use intricate woodwork and a royal colour palette, giving some diners a temple- or palace-like Karnataka setting.
One reviewer found parking directly in front and additional RTA parking behind the restaurant.
A reviewer found the thali food good, while another described the mutton biryani portions as good and not overly spicy.

“I been with my family today - ordered Donne Biryani mutton - What was my surprise was they charge good 40AED for this biryani - and mutton pieces only 2 we got and one small piece - I just asked how many pieces we get and they said 4 atleast - then I asked them n then waiter realised there is less pieces and separately to satisfy me he brought 2 more pieces - I liked his personal gesture but I felt as a restaurant is over priced and it’s a kind of cheat I felt - I was expecting they should have replaced whole biryani or something or some apology from manager etc anyways probably last visit”

“We ordered Butter Thatte iddle,Ragi mudde, Mutton chops , Donne Biryani & chicken kababb. After waiting fr a decent time the food arrived - Mudde & Mutton chops - Mudde served to us was old & stinking rotten, mutton chops was half cooked - when asked to the server he said Mudde is just cooked 2 hours before - the fact is it’s cooked nothing less than 4 to 5 hrs. Mutton chunks was toooo hard, when shown to the server he replied it’s cooked just now but again I will take pices & boil again.”June 2026

Visit Off-Peak. Go outside busy periods if possible: reviews say service moves slowly when more diners arrive and thali orders can be delayed.
Check Biryani. Ask which biryani is available before ordering; one visit had no Dum or Mysore biryani and only Andhra-style biryani.
Try Breakfast. For breakfast, consider the Mysore masala dosa, benne dosa or thatte idli, but note that filter coffee and tea received mixed feedback.
Use Parking. Try the spaces in front first, then check the RTA parking behind if needed.
Check AC. If dining in during hot weather, confirm the air conditioning is working before settling in, as multiple visits reported heat problems.
Confirm Portions. For mutton donne biryani, check the expected meat portion when ordering; one diner received fewer pieces than expected.

Several reviews mention long waits, missed thali items and needing to repeatedly call staff for service.
The dining room was reported as very hot, with a small cooler used instead of properly working air conditioning.
Some return visits reportedly fell below earlier standards, including smaller ragi mudde portions and mutton biryani containing mostly bones.
Some diners felt prices were above nearby Karama alternatives, particularly for biryani and breakfast dishes.
A reviewer found the seating uncomfortable, while another mentioned an uncomfortable table height.
The Bottom Line
Mysore Palace Dubai brings Karnataka-focused South Indian cooking to the heart of Al Karama. Breakfast is a strong starting point: the Mysore masala dosa and benne masala dosa are repeatedly praised, while thatte idli, akki roti and ragi mudde give you more regional choices. The menu also reaches into meat dishes such as mutton donne biryani and chicken pepper fry.
The setting is part of the appeal. Reviewers mention intricate woodwork, a royal colour palette and an atmosphere that feels like a temple or palace, making it more distinctive than a basic dosa restaurant. Parking is reported directly in front, with additional RTA spaces behind.
There is a noticeable gap between the best and worst visits. Some diners describe fresh food, warm service and excellent consistency; others report bland or average dishes, reheated fried chicken, or a biryani with mostly bones. Puran Poli and ragi bread are useful less-obvious picks when available, and the filter coffee wins praise in one review but is criticised in another.
Service can be slow, especially when the restaurant is busy, and a few visits involved missed thali items. Air conditioning has also been unreliable, so check before dining in during hot weather. Prices are viewed by some customers as high for the area, including a reported AED 40 mutton donne biryani.
