What to Avoid (7)

Food 7

Fish curry Net −1

“Aed 10 lunch before had one small fish fry.now nothing and fish curry only gravy. Very bad compared to what they served before”
Dinner buffet Net −1

“We visited for dinner buffet, I would say it was a decent and average experience. The food taste was not that good it was very average that we can get even in some small cafeteria. In veg they had only one curry option and that too was not upto expectation. Starters were good comparatively. Desserts could have better options.”
Fish roe Net −1

“both the meals and the fish roe, which was prepared with masala, really let you down. It must have been very frustrating to not enjoy your meal at all.”
Fried rice Net −1

“No one should go there for Lunch . We waited for more thank an hour for Lunch. Food is not tasty also . Fried rice made in normal rice. Staff attitude is not at all good .Service also not good.”
Iftar buffet Net −1

“I recently visited an Iftar buffet that turned out to be quite disappointing. Unfortunately, it wasn't worth the hype.”
Meals for 10 ad Net −1

“😔 I had a really disappointing experience with Meals for 10 AD! At Raviz🍴 It's crazy how food can just miss the mark, right? The banana leaf thing sounds like a major fail, dried up leaves are a big no-no! 😕 10 AED is a steal, but not when the taste is subpar. I would expect something that hits the spot, not a meh experience. Chef should definitely taste-test, haha! 😂 .”
Seafood chatty Net −1

“However, one item really disappointed me — the seafood chatty priced at 12 DHS. It looked promising at first because they placed the seafood on top, but underneath it was mostly tapioca, which honestly felt misleading. It didn’t feel worth the price at all. I’d recommend skipping that dish and ordering fried fish separately instead, which would be a much better value for money.”

The Bottom Line

Taste of India By Raviz is a Kerala restaurant in Al Mankhool where the main draw is a filling, traditionally styled meal rather than a polished fine-dining experience. You can order Kerala meals on banana leaves, seafood meals, appam with curry, or try a dinner buffet when it is running. Payasam is sometimes served as the sweet finish.

The strongest reviews describe generous seafood meals with fish fry, squid curry, prawn curry, fish curry, rice, sides and payasam. Fish curry meals, fish tawa fry and soft appam also receive specific praise. Prices have often been described as reasonable, and the spacious seating works for family groups or parties.

A review also noted basement parking. Consistency is the main caution. Other diners found the meals bland or below standard, with one reporting fish curry that was mostly gravy and another saying a seafood chatty was largely tapioca.

Service can be slow, with waits of an hour or more reported. During Eid, customers were seated before learning that meals were unavailable, so call ahead to confirm the menu. Weekend crowds can mean another wait, while buffet value and inclusions—particularly tea and bottled water—are worth checking before you commit.
