What to Eat at Pak Darbar Restaurant Oasis Mall 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 Pak Darbar Restaurant Oasis Mall, 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 Pak Darbar Restaurant Oasis Mall, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Check orders. Before eating or paying, confirm that every dish matches your order and that substitutions have been approved.
Check bills. Review the bill for unrequested water or other additions, as one customer reported an extra water charge.
Avoid rush. For breakfast or busy periods, allow extra time: a customer reported a long wait even for an additional roti.
Ask availability. Ask which dishes are actually available before ordering because one review says the menu did not clearly show unavailable items.
Plan parking. If visiting at the weekend, allow for parking difficulty and paid parking, despite reports of plenty of spaces at other times.
Request hot food. When ordering dishes such as white karahi, check that the food and chapati arrive hot before settling in.

The Bottom Line
Pak Darbar Restaurant Oasis Mall is a down-to-earth Pakistani restaurant in Al Quoz where diners come for filling curries, naan, rice dishes and grilled food. Mutton karahi, mutton Peshwari, BBQ platters, mixed grill and Afghani kebab are among the dishes that receive the clearest praise. One grill-platter review says the meal fed three people comfortably and could have fed four.
Value is a strong part of the appeal. A customer reported six dishes with chai, coffee and dessert for around AED 100 for four people, while other reviews describe reasonable prices and generous servings. Breakfast, beef nihari and takeaway are also useful options; delivery was reported as on time, and the restaurant is said to stay open until 2am.
The experience is not completely consistent. Recent reviews mention excessive oil, small portions, cold food and slow or rude service. Hygiene concerns include flies, unhygienic salad and bare-hand food handling.
Check your order and bill carefully: one diner reported an unapproved curry substitution, while another warned about water being added without ordering it. Weekend parking can also be challenging, and the family hall has received mixed feedback.
