Raju, the delivery guy from Mehfil Biryani, did an amazing job today — he truly made my day! The delivery was super quick, and even when there was a small mistake in the order, he immediately went back to the restaurant and brought me exactly what I wanted. Thank you, Mehfil Biryani, for the wonderful service and special thanks to Raju for his dedication and effort. Highly appreciated!

I’ve visited this place many times, and it has truly become one of my favorite spots for biryani. The biryani here made me a complete fan! I’ve tried Chicken, Mutton, and Beef biryani, and each one was delicious — a pure, authentic Malabar-style biryani. Once you start eating here, it’s hard to stop; it’s that addictive. Out of all, the Mutton Biryani stands out as my absolute favorite. For me, this is the best mutton biryani spot in Karama. The only drawback I noticed is the service. Sometimes you have to wait a long time to get the staff’s attention, and even after being served, requesting additional items can be difficult. The service team definitely needs improvement, as it can feel frustrating at times. On the positive side, the prices are quite reasonable, and the quality makes it worth it. Since it’s a popular spot, there’s often a long queue, so be prepared to wait at least 10–15 minutes or sometimes even more. Overall, this place is a must-try in Karama. If you’re in Dubai and love biryani, don’t miss this spot. Of course, this is my personal opinion, and experiences may vary from person to person.

Must have beef biryani in Dubai. The flavor of the rice and tender beef that melts in your mouth, are nothing but great! Ambience is okay and service was decent. Hence the four stars.

Mehfil Biriyani in Al Karama is a specialist destination for authentic, aromatic Malabar cuisine. It delivers excellent taste and value, making it a highly recommended spot, particularly for those craving Kerala-style comfort food

Had an lunch this restaurant It was dramatic First time in my life i see one person is writing name for queue . I literally socked I heard the hype of this particular restaurant but After 25 min long waiting we got the seat Food was delicious & well served in the way of kerla traditional banana leaf. It was neat & clean, good atmosphere Attractive interior & sitting As a biryani lover i can give 7 out 10 rating It was crowded & very difficult to get parking

A decent place for nice authentic biriyani , suitable for family dining. Nice heartwarming fast services . Lagoon biriyani is not worthy , do not expect the taste from our local village marriage function biriyani. Felt little sweetness for chicken masala, probably bcz of onion . Beef biriyani was so nice .soft tender and balanced flavour, for meat. Side dishes are very common like all other restaurants, but quality is nice. Anyway, it a spot for those who wanna try normal malabar type biriyani, And NOT for those who cooks nice biriyanees in their own kitchen. Bachelors and those who miss their home kitchen can try this spot . But if u born in north side of kerala, you may feel it is normal home biriyani ,nothing special.

Hotel Mehfil Biriyani is a great spot for biryani lovers! The food is flavorful, aromatic, and perfectly cooked — especially the mutton and chicken biryani, which are rich in authentic spices and taste. The portions are generous, and the prices are quite reasonable for the quality. The service is quick, and the staff are polite and attentive. The restaurant has a simple & neat ambience.

Starved for biriyani but had to compromise with ghee rice and sides. But this place served amazing ghee rice and beef and chicken dishes .. loved The second time I visited and had biriyani.. oh my god .. it was divine... All mind but so flavourful and delicious.. normally I feel so tired after having a biriyani .. this was amazing and soothing to mind
