What to Avoid (11)

Food 10

  1. Aamras Net −1
    “Regarding the food ordered Aamras Puri + Sukhi Bhaji - Taste & Portions: I was disappointed with both the Aamras and the Alu Bhaji.”
  2. Aamras puri Net −1
    “Regarding the food ordered Aamras Puri + Sukhi Bhaji - Taste & Portions: I was disappointed with both the Aamras and the Alu Bhaji.”
  3. Aloo chokha Net −1
    “The aloo chokha was simply boiled potatoes mixed with raw onion, lacking any seasoning or authentic preparation.crispy corn had too much salt .”
  4. Alu bhaji Net −1
    “Regarding the food ordered Aamras Puri + Sukhi Bhaji - Taste & Portions: I was disappointed with both the Aamras and the Alu Bhaji.”
  5. Batti Net −1
    “The besan in the dishes had a strong raw taste, papad was not fresh and had no crunch and the batti was nothing like it should be — it looked more like a small puffed poori and again had an unpleasant raw besan flavor.”
  6. Bhojpuri thali Net −1
    “Recently visited this restaurant and had a very disappointing experience, especially with the Bhojpuri Thali that I ordered. The food quality and cleanliness were far below expectations.”
  7. Crispy corn Net −1
    “The aloo chokha was simply boiled potatoes mixed with raw onion, lacking any seasoning or authentic preparation.crispy corn had too much salt .”
  8. Mutton biryani Net −1
    “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.”
  9. Puris Net −1
    “- Puris: The puris were too large and overly oily. I highly recommend reducing their physical size and serving 6 smaller puris instead of 4 large ones.”
  10. Sukhi bhaji Net −1
    “Regarding the food ordered Aamras Puri + Sukhi Bhaji - Taste & Portions: I was disappointed with both the Aamras and the Alu Bhaji.”

Drinks 1

  1. Lassi Net −1
    “It was a great food ended up adding a rice aswell the butter chicken was so smooth… although my lassi which I believe was supposed to be well blended with sugar while my one had granules of sugar still present… I gave heads-up for that already!”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5
1

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.

2

Try A Thali. A thali is the clearest way to sample several dishes at once; reviewers specifically praise the Special, Punjabi and weekday thalis.

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.
