The Good Stuff
Momo Platters
Momo platters are a recurring favourite, with reviewers praising their variety and the veg and chicken tandoori versions.
Kulcha Chole
The Amritsari kulcha is praised for its crisp outside, soft centre and rich pairing with chole.
Punjabi Flavours
Reviews point to a broad North Indian and Punjabi offering, including kulche chole, Punjabi chicken tadka and bhuna hua chicken.
Late Opening
One reviewer specifically notes that the restaurant is open around the clock, making it useful for late-night meals.
Flexible Seating
The reviews mention both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a colourful Bollywood-themed setting.
Tips for a Better Visit
Try Momos. For a first order, consider the tandoori momos; several reviews identify them as a standout, including a recommendation to try them.
Order Kulcha. If you want a budget-friendly Punjabi option, the Redi wale kulche chole were reported at AED14 and described as tasty.
Choose Dine-In. Dine in if presentation and packaging matter; one delivery review reported gravy spilling through the paper bag.
Check Chaat. Consider asking about the current pani puri preparation before ordering, as reviews disagree sharply on its quality.
Use Parking. For a visit by car, a review mentions plentiful paid street parking near the restaurant.

The Bottom Line
Tandoori Chakhna Restaurant is a caterer in Al Quoz with a HACCP-certified kitchen, focused on school canteens and corporate food services. Its customer reviews also describe a casual Indian restaurant experience, with North Indian and Punjabi dishes drawing the most attention. Tandoori chicken, momo platters, Amritsari kulcha and kulche chole are the clearest starting points for a first order.
The strongest feedback centres on grilled food and snacks. One reviewer found the tandoori chicken smoky and juicy, while another praised the crisp, soft Amritsari kulcha with chole. Momo platters are repeatedly described as varied and delicious, and the menu is broad enough to include chaat, Chinese and Indian dishes.
The setting is colourful and Bollywood-themed, with indoor and outdoor seating; one review also mentions street parking and another says the restaurant is open 24 hours. Quality is not completely consistent. A delivery arrived with half the gravy spilled, and separate reviews criticised cold tandoori momos, oily fries, weak chai and disappointing pani puri.
Biryani portions may feel small for one person, and one mutton biryani review mentioned undercooked meat. Dine in for the best chance of enjoying dishes fresh, and check the chaat preparation before ordering.
