Today’s episode features our quest to indulge in the best of Pakistani dishes in Dubai. And accompanying us on this gastronomic journey are our gracious hosts Mona Biswarupa Mohanty, Sachin Bradoo and Nazis who are good friends and big time foodie like us. 

We started the journey in the morning with a cup of masala tea at Banarasi Chaat and Kulfi Wala. As you enter this place, the colourful decor catches your eyes. The walls are filled with graffiti featuring the scenes from an old Indian cityscape and also with catchy phrases. 

After enjoying the artistic ambience and a nice cup of tea we went to our next destination, Des Pardes restaurant. It is one the most popular Pakistani eateries where the food is said to be amazing and pocket friendly. The ambience is very basic yet neat and clean. And true to the reputation it was full with dinner who had come for breakfast. We first visited the curry and bread section to see what all things were available. The staff turned out to be very warm and genial. After that we all settled down for a grand breakfast because we couldn’t resist ourselves from ordering a plethora of dishes. The spread included six kinds of breads, mostly tandoor baked, a variety of curries, haleem and a sweet dish. Amongst the bread we liked the roghni naan, kulcha and aalu paratha while among the curries we enjoyed the paya, keema, anda kofta and chana. The chicken haleem too was phenomenal. Although everything looked a little similar in appearance, the taste profiles were very different. This place truly won our hearts. 

From there we reached Daily Restaurant, another affordable Pakistani eatery, to dig into one of their special bihari kabab. Interestingly the dish is originally from Bihar in India but it’s hugely popular in Pakistan. What makes it different from other kabab is the form of meat that is used, which is thin strips of meat. They are marinated in a special spice blend and then strung to a skewer. In appearance it seemed like a meat boti or meat chucks and hence here it’s sometimes referred to as boti Bihari Kabab. This kabab was perfectly grilled and super flavourful. The chicken was succulent as well and we loved it. 

As a matter of a small deviation, next we visited an Afghani restaurant named in the same neighborhood as it was equally popular. They serve a huge variety of classic Afghani fare and has a very welcoming interior.

  2. If you want to talk about peace between nations better do it in front of those who have lost their dear ones at the hands of the pak army/militants.. i can never forget what they did to cpt kalia before kargil.. and you advocate peace with such people? you talk about politicians.. at least we now have a PM who knows how to give appropriate answers to hostility either from Pak or China.. ek kaam karlo sapra ji.. iske baad religious harmony ke liye Beijing series bhi karr lijiye.. youtube mei aur fans badh jayenge aapke.. pathetic

  3. Anu Bhai..been following u long time from Pakistan..nice to see u enjoying this Pakistani spread.. restaurant name is perfect as well.des parades..that's all we are here abroad..pardesis

  4. Pakistan is a very poor and bankrupt country but people are really nice there..I m in Canada and Pakistani people are really welcoming and rice..😊

  5. If you can travel to Pakistan, then you should try, as any food cooked outside of Pakistan, does not have the original taste. I have tried most restaurants in Dubai & elsewhere in Europe/USA, there is no match for the taste found locally. From Karachi to Peshawar, you will find food that desi taste cannot be replicated.
    From Shikarpur's Kulfi-Falooda & Pickles, to Sabir Restaurant's Nihari in Karachi, Lahore's Anda Channa, Peshawar's Afghani Pulao to Shinwari Dumba Karahi & Quetta's Rosh and Sajji, there is no match for the taste. Similarly, the Halwa Poori Breakfast in Karachi & Peshawar's Beef Paya Breakfast, has simply no match anywhere.
    Come to Pakistan and enjoy the Hospitality & Taste.

  6. Anubhav ji.. With due respect to Pakistanis.. Currently they are under severe food crisis and struggling to fulfil their basic needs. They are killing themselves for wheat.
