“The Mutton Biryani I ordered had an unusual ratio of mutton to rice, with the mutton far outnumbering the rice. A biryani should offer a distinct flavor profile, but this dish lacked the characteristic taste. The rice itself was more reminiscenly roasted , and the overall flavor was quite mild. While the packaging and presentation were outstanding, the taste fell short of what I had hoped for.”

Use Rear Parking. If the front spaces are full, drive around to the back; a review says the inside rear parking is best reached from the inner road.
Try A Thali. A thali is the clearest way to sample several dishes at once; reviewers specifically praise the Special, Punjabi and weekday thalis.
Check The Offer. Ask whether the bill promotion is still running: one review reported a free food-item draw when the bill exceeded 50 Dhs.
Mind The Music. If you prefer a quieter meal, ask about the music or seating before settling in, since one diner found the songs too loud.
Check Specials. Ask which day's thali is being served; reviews mention a weekly rotation, including Tuesday kadhi-and-paneer and Saturday Saagwala options.
Plan the visit
One Aamras Puri order had too little vegetable accompaniment for four large puris, which were also described as overly oily.
A reviewer found a visibly dirty table mat and an unclean condiment plate, while another flagged washroom hygiene.
One visit involved a long wait for soup and mains, with no nearby server when the guests wanted to order more.
Background music was distracting for some diners and was described as too loud during one visit.
Individual dishes can miss the mark: one review found raw besan flavours in a Bhojpuri Thali, while another found paneer too sweet.

The Bottom Line
Royal Desi Rasoi is a broad Indian restaurant in Deira where thalis are the main draw. You can order a Special Thali, Punjabi Thali or a rotating weekday thali, alongside dishes such as butter chicken, biryani and freshly made chapatis. The menu also stretches into desi-style Chinese, so groups with different cravings have room to choose.
Portions are a strong point. One reviewer said the non-veg thali was generous enough for two people, while another found the Veg Royal Thali satisfying for two depending on appetite. Chapatis were described as fluffy, soft and fresh.
The restaurant has two dining halls and enough seating for family meals or larger gatherings. Parking directly outside may be limited, but reviews point to parking behind the restaurant, accessed from the inner road. Prices are repeatedly described as reasonable, and one review lists thalis from Aed 20 to Aed 40.
The reported service is generally warm and helpful, though one visit involved a long wait and unattended ordering. Quality is not completely consistent. Guests have reported oily puris, raw besan flavours, overly sweet paneer and occasional cleanliness concerns, so it is worth checking the day’s special and the dining setup before ordering.
