What to Avoid (8)

Food 8

Banana fry Net −1

“•Use better-quality bananas for banana fry.”
Barotta Net −1

“The barotta wasn’t soft either – it came out quite crispy, which I didn’t really enjoy.😟”
Beef curry Net −1

“•Improve the taste of the beef curry and chicken 65.”
Beef roast Net −1

“I tried the beef roast today. Honestly, it felt a bit overpriced compared to other Keralite restaurants since the quality and quantity were pretty much the same.”
Breakfast egg curry Net −1

“If you try their breakfast egg curry, it tastes almost like tea because they use too much sugar. This is not the real Kerala taste you might be looking for. Appam and egg curry is one of the best combinations, but they spoiled it by adding a lot of sugar. Please don’t add sugar, as it spoils the taste”
Chicken 65 Net −1

“•Improve the taste of the beef curry and chicken 65.”
Pakora Net −1

“I had a Pakora, tea and a snack, the snacks and the pakora was cold.”
Special kanji set Net −1

“I recently had the opportunity to try the Special Kanji set and wanted to share my thoughts. While the flavour's were ok, I felt that the portion sizes were surprisingly small, especially considering the price paid.”

The Bottom Line

Pepper Lane is a Kerala and South Indian restaurant in Dubai Silicon Oasis where you can dine in, order takeaway or use delivery. The strongest reasons to go are the homestyle Kerala flavours and the range of dishes reviewers have tried: Kerala porotta with beef fry, chicken or beef biryani, Kanji, appam and Kerala meals. Several diners say the food reminds them of home, including one who was looking for Thrissur-style flavours.

Breakfast, tea and snacks are useful entry points. Fresh milk tea, karak chai, cutlet and egg appam receive good mentions, while the Onam Sadhya was praised for its fresh, authentic variety and special boli. Indoor seating is described as spacious enough for larger groups, with some outdoor tables for tea chats.

The main caution is consistency. Some visits brought quick, attentive service and fresh food; others involved 30-minute waits, cold biryani, missing items or even hours spent waiting for displayed food. Prices and portions also divide opinion: reviewers have complained about small curry servings, an expensive gravy portion and a beef roast that felt overpriced.

Parking around the restaurant is regularly difficult, so allow time and confirm prices and order completeness before settling in.
