Food 10

Mutton peshawari Net +4

Chicken tikka Net +3

“The Peshawari Mutton Karhai, Chicken Tikka, Meethi Lassi & Handi were my favss but everying else was also pretty good.”
Achari chicken Net +3

“The achari chicken is so tasty. The rogni naan is something I’ve never really tried before, it was very unique and super delicious! The naan with the achari chicken is the perfect combo.”
Dal fry Net +3

“Amazing food, on point taste for what Pakistani cuisine should be. The portions were great, especially for the price. Will say that the space wasn’t very large and it wasn’t a fancy place by any means, the AC is held together with tape. But honestly that really added to the charm. It felt authentic because that’s how it would be in Pakistan. Really appreciated our server for bringing us an extra daal fry.”
Lamb chops Net +3

“Then I can’t get enough , so I order the lamb chops, just juicy, tender and full of flavor. Love to the fullest !!!”

Mutton curry Net +2

Mutton kabab Net +2

“The dishes are full of flavor, especially the butter chicken, grilled tandoori chicken, mutton kebabs, mutton sukha and bread.”

Honorable mentions (33)

Aloo paratha Net +1

“We first visited for breakfast and ordered aloo paratha with omelette and lassi. The food was slightly oily but flavorful.”
Boneless tandoori chicken Net +1

“Favorites: Boneless Tandoori Chicken, and Tikka Masala, absolutely delicious!”
Chaat masala fries Net +1

“Ravi Restaurant’s collaboration with the French burger concept Beau brings a creative twist to their classic menu. The collab features items like a seekh kebab burger and chaat masala fries, blending Ravi’s bold Pakistani flavors with a modern street-food style. The food is tasty and worth trying if you’re nearby or curious, but I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way for it — it might raise your expectations too much and leave you slightly disappointed.”
Cheese naan Net +1

“The only highlight was the Cheese Naan — it was really good and reasonably priced. 💯”
Chicken curry Net +1

“U will not go wrong with bread n mutton/ chicken curry”
Chicken ginger and corn soup Net +1

“I ordered chicken ginger and corn soup as my first try, just blew my mind. The chicken ginger mixes with transitional herbs and spices , also a nice touch from Thai from my opinion, it balances perfectly!”
Chicken kadai Net +1

“So I opted for Chicken Kadai at 12 dhs. And a roti at 1.5 dhs. Served promptly in 5 mins. There were three large pieces of fresh chicken in kadhai. It's very different from the famous Peshawari kadai. This is more with gravy and a very slight tinge of lemon is added. And it tasted so lovely. Chicken was also very fresh.”
Chicken kebabs Net +1

“We later came back for dinner and tried the chicken leg roast, chicken kebabs, achari chicken, and daal. Everything was fresh and delicious.”

Chicken tikka biryani (breast piece) Net +1

“So I switched to the chicken tikka biryani (breast piece) instead, as I really wanted a rice dish. 🍛 The food was very tasty and full of flavor 😋, but also *very spicy* 🌶️🔥. For someone like me who doesn’t usually eat much spice, it was seriously fiery—but still an enjoyable experience overall.”
Daal Net +1

“We later came back for dinner and tried the chicken leg roast, chicken kebabs, achari chicken, and daal. Everything was fresh and delicious.”

Food 5

Burger Net −1

“Went to experience the hyped burger which is below average taste very regular more like shami burger and was quite dry not even juicy nothing special the drink with meal taste like adol syrup uh definitely not worth the price of 60AED can eat in better places for cheaper.”
Burger meal Net −1

“I ordered one burger meal for 60 AED and one single burger for 35 AED….Total waste of money. The quality of the burger was not good at all…..It’s all just hype. They used cabbage instead of lettuce, which was very disappointing. They charged 15 AED for fries, but the portion was very small. The rose lemonade was also pathetic. Overall not worth it.I ordered one burger meal for 60 AED and one single burger for 35 AED….Total waste of money. The quality of the burger was not good at all…..It’s all just hype.

Chicken biryani Net −1

“The portion was small (okay for two ladies, but not for one hungry gentleman) and the chicken biryani was very dry, lacking enough ghee or oil.”
Mutton kadai Net −1

“Honest review: Unfortunately, I wasn’t satisfied with the food. The Mutton Kadai and Butter Chicken both tasted very plain and even the presentation looked basic. For the price, the quality and flavor didn’t match my expectations.”

The Bottom Line

Ravi Restaurant in Al Satwa is a long-established Pakistani restaurant where the draw is hearty food rather than polished surroundings. Breakfast is a strong starting point, with halwa puri, aloo paratha, omelette and lassi mentioned by diners. For lunch or dinner, Mutton Peshawari, Chicken Achari, nihari and curries with hot naan or roti are the most useful orders to consider.

The experience is casual and canteen-like. Seating is limited, solo diners may share tables at busy times, and a separate family area is available. Reviews often describe fast, friendly service and generous portions at reasonable prices, though the standard is not completely consistent.

Some diners found the meat excellent and tender; others reported tough mutton, rubbery chicken or bland dishes. There are practical caveats. Hygiene and maintenance receive serious criticism in several recent reviews, including reports of a dirty wash basin and cockroaches, while other diners found the restaurant clean.

Spice can also be intense, so ask for your preferred level. Bring cash, check biryani availability before travelling, and allow time for parking. The no-frills setting is part of the appeal, but it will not suit anyone expecting a modern dining room.
