Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Confirm Charges. Ask about cake-cutting and other event fees before booking; one guest was not told about an extra 150 AED charge.

Clarify Setup. If booking a celebration, confirm whether the area is genuinely separate and how long games or activities can continue.

The Bottom Line

Royal Pak Wadi is a buffet restaurant in Al Nahda that suits diners who want a broad desi spread rather than a single order. Reviews mention 50-plus dishes, with Pakistani favourites such as mutton karahi, chicken korma, haleem, biryani and BBQ, alongside vegetarian choices and desserts including kheer, gulab jamun and custard. Lunch is often described as good value.

It also attracts birthday parties, engagements and larger family or work gatherings. Packages reported by customers have included buffet meals, decorations, cake and photography or videography, and several groups praised the accommodating service. The halls are described as spacious in some reviews, including for groups of 15 to 25 people.

There is some inconsistency. One recent dinner found the food cold and the naan hard, while other visits praised fresh, flavourful dishes; BBQ was served fresh when requested at one event. Hygiene comments range from clean dining areas to stained tables and a report of cockroaches near a children’s area.

Access deserves attention too: the restaurant is upstairs, with one review describing very steep stairs and low headroom. Confirm current buffet rates, event inclusions and any cake-cutting fee before booking.
