The Bottom Line

Pak Liyari Restaurant Muteena Branch is a Pakistani restaurant in Al Muteena where biryani is the main draw. Beef biryani receives especially strong praise for its tender meat and deep spice, while chicken biryani and haleem are also popular. The menu gives you plenty of traditional choices, including nihari, mutton paaya, mutton karahi and white mutton.

The upstairs family seating is a genuine practical advantage, and reviews mention both family meals and a party for 12 adults. Indoor and outdoor seating are available, although the family area can become crowded and one reviewer felt it needed better separation. Parking may be awkward at busy times; another review found it easier after 9pm.

Value is a recurring theme. 5L water for 20AED, while another said a biryani portion could be shared by two people. Bring cash, as a review says cards are not accepted.

Service and cleanliness are less predictable than the food. Some diners describe quick, friendly attention, while others had to call repeatedly for a waiter. Check biryani availability before visiting, and remember that grills may not be served during lunch.
