Confirm orders. For delivery, confirm the dish before accepting it: one customer ordered noodles but received fried rice.
Allow time. Build in extra time for delivery, especially if ordering during busy periods; nearby deliveries have taken at least an hour.
Try meals. For a budget meal, consider the Kerala meal (Motta set), reported at AED 10 with fish fry and payasam.
Check portions. Ask about serving size and extra charges before ordering the special burger, as its fries portion was criticised.
Check dining area. If hygiene is a priority, look over the dining area first; one review specifically reported persistent houseflies.
Use parking. Drivers can factor in the free parking mentioned by a customer when choosing dine-in rather than delivery.

Reviews report undercooked chicken, hard beef, burnt chicken and overly salty dishes, so quality is not reliably consistent.
Customers have reported houseflies, insects in payasam and unclean dining conditions.
Delivery can take much longer than expected; one nearby order reportedly took at least an hour.
Several reviews describe rude, dismissive or unprofessional responses when customers raised problems.
Portion sizes and value are criticised, including a very small fries serving with the special burger.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

“For 10 AED they provided a worthy delicious meal including fish fry and Payasam”Google review · October 2025
The Bottom Line
Star One Restaurant Branch 1 is a 24-hour Kerala and Indian restaurant in Al Qusais. The menu appeals most to people looking for biryani, Kerala meals and casual tea-time food: reviews mention chicken biriyani, fish biriyani, kozhi nirachathu, fresh milk tea and snacks such as chicken rolls. A Kerala meal (Motta set) with fish fry and payasam was reported at AED 10, while free parking and outdoor seating add practical appeal.
There are some genuinely positive meals in the reviews. Fish mango curry with vellappam, kappa and beef combo, and biryani are all recommended by customers, and several people describe the atmosphere as welcoming. It is also described as budget-friendly and not usually crowded, making it useful for an informal meal or late-night stop.
The cautions are substantial. Food quality has been uneven, with reports of hard beef, burnt or undercooked chicken, excessive salt and even insects in payasam. Houseflies and cleanliness are recurring concerns in some reviews.
Service is similarly mixed: some customers praise attentive staff, while others report rude responses, incorrect orders and long delivery waits. For takeaway or delivery, confirm the order and allow extra time. If dining in, check the room and portion expectations first; the experience appears to depend heavily on the day and the specific order.
