What to Eat at New Green City Star Restaurant How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For New Green City Star Restaurant, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of New Green City Star Restaurant, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Paneer bhurji Net −2
“Just picked up a Paneer Bhurji for AED 17.50. The portion size was tiny—definitely not worth the price. To make it worse, the taste was poor due to an overpowering amount of turmeric, making it impossible to eat. Very poor quality control for a takeaway order.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Allow time. For delivery or busy dine-in periods, build in extra time; one review records a 40-minute wait just to be served.
Check spice. Ask about spice levels before ordering: reviews describe some dishes as very spicy and one koththu parota as overloaded with masala.
Confirm sides. If ordering a package, ask what is included and whether salad is extra; one diner was later told a separate salad costs 3 AED.
Review charges. Check the final delivery bill against the menu, as a customer reported different menu and delivery amounts plus an extra short-distance fee.
Choose Kerala. For a first meal, Kerala-speciality dishes have stronger review support than the Chinese offerings, which received a specific complaint.

The Bottom Line
New Green City Star Restaurant is a 24-hour Indian restaurant in Bur Dubai with a noticeable Kerala and South Indian focus. You can come for chicken biryani, grilled chicken, appam or a casual tea-and-snack meal; reviews also mention Kerala fish curry and ghee rice with beef. The around-the-clock opening is handy for late meals, while indoor and outdoor seating give it a straightforward, informal feel.
The strongest feedback is around familiar comfort food, friendly staff and budget-friendly combo meals. Samosa and chattambade were praised with tea, and some regulars describe the food as consistently fresh and filling. Prices can look reasonable, but portion value is uneven: paneer bhurji and egg kothu were both criticised for small servings, and takeaway charges have drawn complaints.
Service is the main gamble. Multiple delivery reviews report waits of more than an hour, with one order taking from 9 PM until 11:20 PM. Food quality also appears inconsistent, including complaints about overly spicy dishes, poor paneer bhurji and a recent undercooked chicken biryani order.
If you visit, confirm package inclusions, spice levels and delivery charges before paying. Kerala dishes appear to be the safer starting point than Chinese items.
