Duabai diary: Karachi darbar

Right across the hotel where I stay is bustling Pakistani joint called Karachi Darbar. The problem with big hotels is that no matter where you are they serve food that tastes the same and I really wanted to taste the local cuisine and that was the reason why I walked out of the hotel to have my dinner. Entered into this one just on an impulse and I am so happy I did. One of the oldest hotels out here in Bur Dubai, it’s a hotspot for hundreds of people looking for good tasty food that probably is as close to home as possible.

I have become a hardcore fan of the food out there. One, the items on the menu look so familiar to what you would find in some of the best in India. Two, the taste is so good that by the time you walk out of the hotel, you not only filled but extremely satisfied. Three, you can’t better define value for money. Not only is the quantity of food enough, the price is very affordable.

Why did I chose a Pakistani restaurant on day 1 when there were so many Indian names around, I don’t really know.

  1. Dear Sir,
    please not that Biryani is considered to be a special dish in muslim community.I ate Bryani in 1984 on Krachi International Airport which i could still feel the taste after 23 years. When i ate bryani at Krachi Darbar in Rashidya I felt like committing sucide becuse the biryani was horrible.Please if your cooks are not able to or don't know how to cook biryani they should stop making it but please don't prepare a dish that even animals will think twice before eating. Please go to Daily Restaurant Al-Quasis to see and eat the real biryani.
    Yesterday i had a dinner with my family at Krachi Darbad,Al Nahda. It was like a nightmare,i ordered chicken tikka which was almost raw and also ordered khar gosht,the quality of meat was absolutely poor and uneatable and i have pleaged not to go to Krachi Darbar.
