What to Eat at Speedway Restaurant 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 Speedway Restaurant, 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.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Speedway Restaurant, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Visit off-peak. Lunch gets crowded, so visit outside the busiest period if you want a calmer meal.
Check availability. Ask whether mandi is available before ordering, since one reviewer says it is often unavailable.
Confirm delivery. For delivery, confirm a rider is available first; reviews report repeated no-delivery explanations and late orders.
Inspect freshness. If ordering mutton or prepared rice, ask about freshness first because reviewers reported old kebab, rice and bad-smelling mutton.
Check charges. Review your card receipt at payment; one diner reported an additional machine-related deduction.
Clarify sides. If ordering fattoush, specify your preference about onions, as one review objected to onions being added.

The Bottom Line
Speedway Restaurant is a modern Indian restaurant in Dubai Internet City with an unusually broad menu. You can come for Indian staples such as biryani and bhindi masala, try chicken barra tikka or chicken soup, or choose from burgers and other casual dishes. Reviews also point to affordable pricing, including a reported butter chicken at 15AED and a burger at 12.
There are genuine positives for a quick lunch or casual meal. Diners describe the food as authentic and tasty, the setting as clean and comfortable, and lunch service as fast even when the restaurant is busy. Biryani, bhindi masala and chicken barra tikka each receive specific praise, and some regulars say the staff have been friendly and attentive.
The experience is not reliably consistent, however. Recent reviews raise concerns about stale or old food, including mutton, kebab, rice and paratha, while others complain about oily dishes and menu items being unavailable. Staff behaviour is the sharper warning: several customers report rude exchanges with waiters or the cashier.
Delivery also appears unreliable, with reports of late orders and no rider being available. If you visit, check availability and freshness before ordering, and inspect the final card charge.
