Chicken handi is repeatedly praised, with one diner also liking the chicken and mutton keema.
One curry was described as more than enough for two, making shared meals practical.
Separate family cabins are available, although the overall family space is limited.
Halwa puri was served hot at 11am, and the chana was specifically enjoyed.
The rotis in one review stood out for being made with wholemeal flour rather than refined flour.
Several diners found the outdoor seating more comfortable or pleasant than the somewhat cramped interior.
A long-time Dubai samosa eater called Pak Sufi's samosa the best they had found.

Ask first. Before eating the arrival salad or raita, ask whether it is complimentary; diners reported being charged for it.
Choose curry. If you do not enjoy smoky food, favour curry or tawa dishes over the smoked mutton kebab.
Try outdoors. Request outdoor seating if available: reviewers found it better than the jammed indoor area.
Allow time. Build in extra time for the kitchen, especially if arriving late; one diner waited 20–30 minutes.
Check parking. Front parking is paid, while a reviewer reported free parking at the back of the building.
Prefer dining. For office meals, consider dining in or checking the order on arrival because repeated delivery reports mention delays and cold food.

Reviews range from delicious, fresh meals to complaints about poor biryani, dry kebabs and an off-smelling curry.
Salad and raita were reportedly served without warning and then added to the bill.
One family found the kebabs excessively spicy, and said their complaint at the counter was ignored.
An office customer reported repeated late deliveries, including cold rice and a package that arrived open.
Some diners waited 20–30 minutes, while another review mentioned a long queue.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Pak Sufi is a Pakistani restaurant in Al Qusais with a menu that suits both full meals and breakfast stops. The clearest strengths in the reviews are chicken handi, tawa daal mash, samosas, and halwa puri with chana. One curry can be enough for two, and the wholemeal rotis received a specific nod from a diner who returned mainly for the mutton handi and roti combination.
The setting is casual rather than polished. Separate family cabins are available, but several reviews describe the indoor area as cramped; outdoor seating is generally preferred. Service feedback is mixed: many diners describe polite, attentive staff, while others mention an ignored complaint, a long queue, or a 20–30-minute wait.
There are a few practical catches. Ask before accepting the opening salad and raita, since customers say these may be charged separately. If you dislike smoky flavours, choose a curry or tawa dish instead of the smoked mutton kebab.
Delivery appears less dependable than dining in, with reports of late arrivals, cold rice and opened packaging. Front parking is paid, while one reviewer reported free parking behind the building.
