What to Avoid (11)

Food 11

Mutton nahari Net −1

“I ordered Kabab and Nahari. The Kabab was better, but unfortunately, the Nahari was disappointing. The meat was very hard, low quality, and lacked proper taste and richness that Nahari is known for.”
Naan bread Net −1

“…naan bread was too small that you would indeed need to order at least 2 per person.”
Bhuna gosht Net −1

“Bhuna gosht ( stewed meat ) was certainly cooked a day before or was taken from a freezer and thawed. P taste at all.”
Boneless tikka biriyani Net −1

“Worst biriyani i had in recent times. I was craving for biriyani and came across their restaurant. Ordered their boneless tikka biriyani at the price of 32 aed after discount. I got plain rice with 4 small pieces of chicken.”
Chicken boti Net −1

“We decided to order their butter chicken, chicken boti and dum briyani however, all three dishes disappointed us and was far from the usual Indian food both in terms of appearance and taste/quality of ingredients…”
Dum briyani Net −1

“We decided to order their butter chicken, chicken boti and dum briyani however, all three dishes disappointed us and was far from the usual Indian food both in terms of appearance and taste/quality of ingredients…”
Galauti kebab Net −1

“The Galauti Kebab, which is supposed to be the star dish, fell short of my expectations. It was tender, as expected, but the flavors didn’t pop—there was a noticeable lack of the signature richness and spices that typically make this dish a standout.”
Green chilly sauce Net −1

“Lastly, what we assumed to be a raita yoghurt&cumin sauce ended up being a green chilly sauce which was super hot/spicy! Leave alone my kids, my husband who usually eats very spicy could not touch it..not recommended at all!”
Mutton seekh kebab Net −1

“I had tunday kebab, tandoori chicken, mutton seekh kebab, paratha and naan. However food wasn’t good in taste nor in quality. My throat got upset due to spices.”
Seekh kebab Net −1

“The Seekh Kebab was similarly disappointing. It didn’t have the smoky, juicy taste that a well-prepared seekh kebab should have, and I found it to be rather bland.”
Shahi chicken masala Net −1

“The shahi chicken masala was bland and tasteless.”

Common Concerns

Showing 2 of 5

Inconsistent Taste

The biggest caution is inconsistency: some diners found the kebabs bland, overcooked or missing the expected Lucknowi depth.

Small Portions

Several reviews question value, citing small servings; one biryani order was described as plain rice with only four small chicken pieces.

The Bottom Line

Tunday Kababi brings Lucknowi and Awadhi cooking to Dubai Silicon Oasis, with the restaurant’s identity centred on kebabs. Start with the galawati or Tunday kebab alongside paratha or sheermal; several reviewers describe the galawati as exceptionally soft, while others found the flavour less convincing than the texture. Mutton pasanday is another well-regarded choice.

The menu has some strong supporting dishes. A positive review describes the Awadhi mutton biryani as tender, aromatic and scented with saffron, kewra and elaichi. Shahi tukda also receives unusually enthusiastic feedback for being light and not overly sweet.

Nihari is less reliable: one diner found the meat hard and the dish lacking richness, while other reviews enjoy the nihari-kulcha pairing. The setting is generally described as clean, peaceful and nicely designed, with free parking, particularly convenient on weekdays. Service is often friendly and prompt, although early reviews mention presentation and attentiveness issues.

Plan carefully on Sundays: one party waited over two hours, and another review advises arriving before 3:30pm because dishes can sell out. Portions and pricing draw mixed reactions, and spice levels may run hotter than expected, so ask before ordering if you prefer mild food.
