Samosa chaat is repeatedly singled out, with one reviewer calling its taste unmatched elsewhere in the UAE.
The falooda is praised for its proper khoya flavour, making it a stronger pick than the dahi bhalay in one visit.
Breakfast favourites include halwa puri, aloo paratha, channa and nalli nihari with soft naan.
Kashmiri tea is a consistent favourite alongside the snacks, with several reviewers specifically recommending it.
Iftar selections such as beef kachori, chicken spring rolls and fresh gulab jamuns receive strong praise.
A separate, cosy seating area for small families is mentioned next door to the sweet shop.

“1. Food 3/5 Halwa chana puri, aloo bhaji, samosa chaat, karak tea, Kashmiri tea. Too much oily (some not healthy oil) and they use same mix of spices for both puri and aloo bhaji and for samosa chaat... Chaat doesn't taste like chaat at all...no mint or tamarind chutney no onion... However pooris are of big size and taste ok if you are too hungry”

Plan parking. Allow extra time to park, as one reviewer found parking very difficult to find near the restaurant.
Expect waits. For breakfast, allow extra time or avoid the busiest period because order receiving has been reported as slow.
Try falooda. If choosing between desserts, falooda is the safer recommendation from a review that found its khoya flavour especially good.
Ask for seating. If visiting as a small family, ask about the separate cosy seating arrangement next door.
Order mithai. For gifting, a WhatsApp mithai order was reported delivered the next morning looking fresh and well presented.
Check orders. Check takeaway or dine-in items before leaving, since one reviewer received missing requested items.

Parking can be very difficult to find around the restaurant.
Breakfast orders have been reported as slow, and another visit involved a 30-minute wait without a clear completion time.
Reviews include complaints about rude behaviour, missing requested items and an unacceptable response to food complaints.
Halwa puri has been praised by some but described by another reviewer as poor quality and difficult to eat.
Some customers consider the restaurant expensive, particularly during Ramadan, with individual dish prices criticised.
The Bottom Line
Nujood Sweets & Restaurant is a Pakistani sweets shop and restaurant in Bur Dubai, with the strongest case being its traditional snacks, mithai and breakfast. Start with samosa chaat or falooda; reviewers also return for halwa puri, Kashmiri tea and fresh jalebi. It suits a quick desi meal as well as taking sweets home.
The menu goes beyond chaat. Reviews describe tender nalli nihari with soft naan, tasty mutton karahi, and beef kachori as a standout among the iftar items. A special mithai box ordered through WhatsApp was delivered the next morning looking fresh, so takeaway and gifting are practical options.
Separate seating for small families is mentioned next door. There are some real caveats. Parking is very difficult to find, and breakfast service has been described as slow to respond.
Food quality is not perfectly consistent: one halwa puri visit was called difficult to eat, while another reviewer praised it as the best in Dubai. Service feedback ranges from helpful and courteous to rude, with complaints about missing items and long waits. Prices also draw criticism, especially in Ramadan; one reviewer cited dahi baly at AED 7 and a medium orange juice at AED 15.
Check your order and budget, particularly at busy times.
