What to Eat at Sharief Bhai Biryani - Oasis Mall How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Sharief Bhai Biryani - Oasis Mall, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Bengaluru biryani Net −1
“The so called "Bengaluru Biryani" is completely misleading. It doesn’t represent the rich flavors the city is known for. What was served is nothing more than plain, bland rice with hardly any aroma, spices, or taste that one would expect from an authentic Bengaluru style biryani. At best, it has maybe 5% resemblance, and that too just because of the rice variety used.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Check portions. Check the meat quantity when your biryani arrives, as one customer found hardly any chicken pieces in a boneless order.
Allow time. Leave extra time for your order rather than expecting a quick handover; one review mentions a 30-minute preparation wait.
Try snacks. If you want something lighter, consider the pakoras or samosas; one review highlights them at prices between 7 and 29 dhs.
Try tea. Add tea or gulab jamun if you have room, as both were specifically praised by customers.
Check orders. Confirm the dish at collection, since one customer ordered Rara mutton but received chicken instead.

The Bottom Line
Sharief Bhai Biryani is a Dakhni biryani spot in the Oasis Mall food court in Al Quoz. You can order mutton biryani, Chicken Dum Biriyani, kebabs and North Indian-style dishes such as Dal Makhni. The strongest feedback centres on aromatic rice, mutton flavours and a Chicken Dum Biriyani that one diner found hot, well-seasoned and large enough for two people.
The setting is a modern, clean, family-friendly food court rather than a standalone dining room. Service is often described as polite and helpful, and one customer appreciated the care taken with a very specific order. Tea and gulab jamun are also mentioned positively, while pakoras and samosas give you a lighter snack option.
A detailed lunch review put Chicken Alfaham Biryani, Dal Makhni, Masala Khushka and water at AED 87. There are important reasons to manage expectations. Multiple reviews mention small meat portions, including one AED 40 mutton biryani with a single tiny piece.
Taste also appears inconsistent: the Oasis Mall biryani was bland for one returning customer, while another reported uncooked rice. One serious review described finding a cockroach in curry. Check your order and portions at collection, and allow extra time if visiting during a busy period.
