Dubai Grill - Reading

The restaurant advertised itself as serving authentic Lahori cuisine, but in reality, it was far from it. The food was bland and the restaurant was dirty. I managed to talk to the Chef, who seemed frustrated with the owners and expressed a desire to leave the place. I will not be returning, and I predict that the restaurant will be closing down soon.

While it may have been our mistake to choose this restaurant for breakfast, we were in desperate need of sustenance for my hungover and hungry boyfriend. Despite being greeted by the presumed owner, our British politeness kept us from leaving immediately. We ordered a vegetarian and regular breakfast, but were disappointed by the dirty mugs, fingerprint-covered cutlery, overcooked mushrooms, deep-fried sausages, and cheap butter substitute. Overall, our experience was unpleasant and we regretted not leaving when we had the chance.

I ordered the Dubai special biryani and lamb karhai for takeout on June 14th, 2016. The menu seemed promising, but the biryani was underwhelming and lacked flavor. The karhai was overly tangy and not like the authentic Lahori karhai as advertised. I was very disappointed with my experience.

Located on the Oxford Road, with a number of fast food alternatives nearby, Dubai Grill stands out as a very pleasant option. We came in on a week night after a meeting in the area and wanted a vegetarian friendly meal before heading home. We were very pleased we wondered into here. The proprietors were friendly and helpful, recommending their favourite dishes I chose the curry and was very pleased I did. There are a number of choices seeming to cross a number of cuisines, but everything looked fresh and the place was clean and cared for. All in all, excellent value and highly recommended is looking for something good and tasty in the area.

Really excellent food, excellent value, just around the corner, been a few times now, one of Oxford roads best. Variety of foods but the curries are excellent :
