Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Start with kebabs. For a first order, begin with the signature galawati kebabs and pair them with ulta tawa paratha, a combination several reviews favour.

Check spice. Ask how spicy the biryani will be before ordering for children: one diner found the chicken tikka biryani too spicy and said the menu did not flag it.

The Bottom Line

Tunday Kababi is a Lucknowi-Awadhi restaurant in Jumeirah Lake Towers where the main draw is its signature galawati, or Tunday, kebabs. Diners describe the mutton version as tender and melt-in-the-mouth, and commonly pair it with ulta tawa paratha or another Lucknow-style bread. Mutton nihari, mutton bhuna and biryani round out the most discussed savoury dishes, while shahi tukra is a recurring dessert recommendation.

The strongest experiences are usually dine-in: reviews mention a clean, comfortable, family-friendly setting, plus access via DMCC Metro Station and ample parking. Service can be warm and attentive, but it is not perfectly consistent. Some visits praise quick, welcoming attention, while others report no greeting, long waits and staff stretched across ordering, serving and cleaning.

There are also important differences between dishes and ordering methods. Several customers loved the biryani, but delivery complaints describe boiled rice with bones or plain meat, so dining in may be the safer first try. One chicken tikka biryani was also considered too spicy for children.

Pricing divides opinion: some accept it for the branding and quality, while others find portions small, roti expensive and value disappointing. If you are visiting for the first time, start with the galawati kebabs, ask about spice, and avoid arriving during a busy Friday service if timing matters.
