Manage Spice. Ask about heat before ordering: the Schezwan Prawns Fried Rice has a strong spicy kick, even for spice lovers.
Plan Parking. If visiting at a busy time, allow extra time for parking; a reviewer found peak-hour parking challenging.
Try Chaat. For a lighter order, consider the chaat selection, especially Bhel Puri or Papdi Chaat, which reviewers found authentic and tasty.
Check Buffet. If you are specifically coming for a buffet, call first because availability was reported to vary.
Visit Off-Peak. Lunch service has occasionally been stretched, so an off-peak visit may be easier than a busy lunch period.
Use Lulu Stop. The restaurant is in the same building as Lulu Hypermarket, making it convenient to pair a meal with shopping.

Several diners found the prices high for the area, with value varying by dish and portion.
Some dishes can be extremely spicy; the kadai chicken and Schezwan prawns fried rice were both flagged for heat.
Two reviews mention an unpleasant odour and disappointing cleanliness around the washing area.
Parking may become difficult during busy periods, despite other reviews finding parking available.
Food quality is not uniform: one diner found the chicken biryani bland with slightly hard chicken.
The Bottom Line
Nawab Authentic Indian Restaurant is a Dubai Investment Park dining option for North Indian food, chaat and generous group meals. The menu has plenty of proven choices: Raj Kachori and Papdi Chaat for snackers, dum biryani for a substantial main, and large sizzlers for sharing. Chicken tikka biryani and butter chicken also receive enthusiastic mentions.
The setting is a major part of the appeal. Reviews describe spacious seating, traditional-meets-modern décor and a calm, family-friendly atmosphere. It is in the same building as Lulu Hypermarket, and parking is available, although finding a space can be harder during peak hours.
Groups have reported quick service, while one lunch visit found only one staff member covering all the tables, so timing may matter. Value is the main question mark. Several diners consider the prices high for Dubai Investment Park, though portions are often described as satisfying and one group found a meal with mains, drinks and pudding good value.
Food is not entirely consistent: the Schezwan prawns fried rice can be very spicy, and one review found the chicken biryani bland with slightly hard chicken. It is worth asking about spice levels and choosing established favourites.
