What to Avoid (4)

Food 4

  1. Chicken hyderabadi dum biryani Net −1
    “Today I had ordered a chicken Hyderabadi dum biryani, since they didn't have mutton which was surprising to me, because I was ordering at 1pm on a Sunday. Which is their Sunday speciality. The order came in quickly, but to my surprise, it had just two pieces of chicken (1 leg & 1 small piece of breast piece(of my thumb size). I had been ordering from Pudumadam for the past three years and we always praised for their quantity and taste. But this time the quantity on the number of pieces of chicken is a surprise.”
  2. Kheema paratha Net −1
    “The kheema paratha we ordered was very dry n tasteless.”
  3. Schezwan fried rice Net −1
    “Highly overpriced for the quality of food..one schezwan fried rice is 28 aed and is very normal like other restaurants not a premium one!.”
  4. Soup lemon chicken Net −1
    “I ordered a few times from them and today I am not feeling well so I ordered a soup lemon chicken and it came like jelly which I did not like so I politely asked them to change it and they made huge drama out of it even when I said I am not well and I can’t have it, they took the soup back and kept arguing so they didn’t have to replace it even when I said I will pay the difference for another item but at last I gave up as I don’t want to argue for such small thing.”

The Bottom Line

Pudumadam Restaurant is a modern Indian restaurant in Arabian Ranches where you can eat in, collect takeaway or order meals across the day. The clearest strengths are South Indian favourites and hearty Indian dishes: reviewers mention soft idli with chutneys, curd rice, chicken biryani, grilled chicken wings and an unusually large paper roast dosa. Its menu also stretches into Indo-Chinese food, including chicken 65 dry, egg fried rice and chicken manchurian.

The experience is not completely consistent. Several diners describe friendly, attentive service and quick food, while others report repeated delivery excuses, long waits and poor handling of complaints. A particularly important family caution is the report of spicy food being sent despite a clear request for a baby’s meal to be non-spicy.

Food quality also varies by order, from praised flavour and generous portions to complaints about excessive oil, stale breakfast and ordinary-tasting dishes. For a first visit, ask for your preferred spice level, confirm limited specials before ordering and consider going in the evening. Dine-in parking in front can be scarce, and one reviewer reported uncomfortable heat inside.

Takeaway customers should also check packaging, since a review flagged stapler pins sealing vada packets. Prices are not uniformly viewed as gentle; one customer cited 28 AED for schezwan fried rice.
