What to Eat at Suleman Usman Mithaiwala Restaurant and Sweets - BurDubai 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 Suleman Usman Mithaiwala Restaurant and Sweets - BurDubai, 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 Suleman Usman Mithaiwala Restaurant and Sweets - BurDubai, 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
Confirm stock. Call before travelling for Ragda, Nankatai or Aflatoon; availability has changed even after WhatsApp confirmation.
Go early. For unlimited pani puri, arrive early because one review says stock can run out.
Check hours. The unlimited pani puri promotion has been reported as running from 4pm to 8pm, rather than all evening.
Compare prices. If ordering sweets through WhatsApp, confirm the per-kilo price against the shop price before paying.
Check handling. Given reports of food being touched after floor cleaning, check that serving staff wash their hands before handling sweets.

Pani puri was described as overly spicy with hard puris, while one malpua order was reported burnt and rock-hard.
Price mismatch
One customer said WhatsApp ordering charged 80 AED per kg for Naan Khatai while the shop listed 40 AED per kg.
Inconsistent dishes
Biryani, paneer and kebab pav received mixed feedback, including a complaint that the kebab no longer resembled the earlier version.

The Bottom Line
Suleman Usman Mithaiwala in Bur Dubai is a Mumbai-style sweets shop and restaurant where the main draw is street food with a mithai stop attached. The AED 10 unlimited pani puri has attracted diners who ate 40 or even 51 pieces, and positive reviews describe crisp puris, fresh fillings and sharply tangy pani. Pav bhaji, kabab pav and Mumbai-style pav also get attention.
The sweets are a more distinctive reason to visit. Aflatoon, Anjeer Halwa and malpua with rabri are repeatedly praised for their Mumbai character; one long-time customer specifically valued the Aflatoon after years of buying it in Mumbai. Malpua, however, has also arrived hard or over-burnt in at least one order, so consistency is not guaranteed.
Plan rather than make a speculative trip. The unlimited offer is commonly reported between 4pm and 8pm, with limited stock, while Ragda and named sweets have sometimes been unavailable despite phone or WhatsApp checks. Pricing also deserves confirmation: one customer reported 80 AED per kg for Naan Khatai online versus 40 AED in-store.
Most seriously, recent reviews raise food-safety and cleanliness concerns, including reports of a mosquito, a cockroach and poor handwashing. Check the counter and handling before ordering.
