The Bottom Line

Star Grill Restaurant is a small Al Raffa eatery with a broad Indian menu and a useful late-night role. Customers come for biryani, charcoal chicken, South Indian breakfast and affordable lunch plates. Specific favourites include beef biryani, chicken fried rice, masala dosa and fish fry with motta set; one reviewer also praised kingfish tawa fry.

Delivery is described as available around the clock, and a customer was happy with a 2:30 AM walk-in. The food is not uniformly reliable. Some diners found the biryani, charcoal chicken and beef dry fry delicious, while others reported bland fried rice, poor noodles, undercooked rice, inconsistent seasoning and disappointing meat.

Drinks are another gamble: a carrot juice was described as watered down, and a mango shake was criticised for artificial sweetness. Service complaints include arguments over orders, slow delivery and staff who were unhelpful when customers raised problems. Indoor seating is limited, though reviews mention a larger outdoor area and, in some accounts, a creek-facing setting.

For a first visit, asking about combos may help with value. Check the order and charcoal portions before accepting them, especially for delivery, since customers have reported receiving the wrong biryani or an incomplete chicken portion. The restaurant can suit a quick, inexpensive meal, but expectations should stay practical rather than occasion-dining high.
