Tips for a Better Visit

1

Try Biryani. Start with the Hyderabadi or mutton dum biryani; reviews highlight the aromatic rice, tender meat and multiple biryani styles.

2

Share Thali. Consider sharing a thali: five diners could not finish one, and a four-person thali was reported at AED 170.

Common Concerns

Showing 2 of 5

Iftar Order

One delivery customer said an iftar kit differed from the order and appeared to contain leftover items.

Thali Consistency

An Andhra thali was described as passable rather than authentic, and one chicken leg in another thali was bland.

The Bottom Line

The Executive Lunchbox is an Indian restaurant in Deira with a menu that suits both focused cravings and mixed groups. Biryani is the clearest draw: diners mention Hyderabadi, mutton dum, matka and chicken versions, with praise for aromatic rice, balanced spices and tender meat. Thalis are another practical choice, especially for sharing, while butter naan and garlic naan make useful additions.

The dinner buffet broadens the appeal with drinks, salads, soups and vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes across Indian, Continental and Chinese cooking. Desserts also receive attention, particularly cheesecake, Oreo cheesecake, blueberry panna cotta, tiramisu and lava brownie with ice cream. Reviews describe the dining room as clean, spacious and comfortable, with indoor and outdoor seating; families have used it for dinners and children’s celebrations.

Pricing is generally described as reasonable, and one review recorded AED 170 for a thali serving four people. If you are driving, a diner reported ample parking. Timing matters, though: one late visit found a heavy dinner rush, guests waiting in line and a parcel taking more than 10 minutes.

There are also a few consistency cautions: one Andhra thali was only considered passable, and an iftar delivery order was reported to differ from what was expected.
