What They Ate
Quotes
"This plate is 5 dirhams. The tandoori roti is a dirham and 50 pils. That's 6 dirhams and 50 pils. You can pretty much make a tiny little meal out of this."
"They've heaped the biryani so much on the plate that they've had to put the plate on another plate to catch the biryani as it falls."
"I think I just picked up a piece of aloo bukhara, which is plum. And that is what's giving this biryani that characteristically sweet, sour, fruity flavor."
"For 19 dirhams, this is insanely good value for money."
Our Reflection
The experience at Mohammad Iqbal is a testament to Dubai’s vibrant, budget-friendly food scene. Each bite of biryani is a journey through layers of flavor—sweet, sour, and fiery heat all mingling with the fragrance of whole spices. The portions are so generous that the food spills over, echoing the restaurant’s commitment to value. There’s a sense of nostalgia and comfort in every mouthful, especially with the addition of raita to cool the spice. This is food that brings people together, offering a taste of home for many and a discovery for others. The simplicity of the setting is more than made up for by the complexity of flavors and the warmth of the experience.
