Arun Restaurant And Cafe Dubai [UPDATED]

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Title: A hidden gem for authentic flavors and late-night bites!

I recently visited Arun Restaurant and Cafe and was thoroughly impressed by the quality of food and the warm hospitality. Located conveniently in [insert area, e.g., Karama/Deira], it stands out as a spot that offers great value for money without compromising on taste.

The Food: The menu is extensive, offering a great mix of Grill, Indian, and Chinese dishes. I tried their Chicken Mandi, and it was cooked to perfection—the rice was fragrant, and the meat was fall-off-the-bone tender. We also ordered the Mixed Grill, which was sizzling and full of flavor. The portion sizes are generous, making it perfect for sharing.

The Service: The staff are incredibly polite and attentive. Despite the place being busy, our orders were taken promptly and the food arrived in good time. arun restaurant and cafe dubai

The Ambience: It has a casual, family-friendly vibe. It’s not overly fancy, but it is clean, comfortable, and has a lively atmosphere. It’s also a fantastic spot for a late-night hangout with friends.

Verdict: If you are looking for hearty, authentic food that won't break the bank, Arun Restaurant and Cafe is a must-visit. I will definitely be coming back to try their breakfast menu!


In Dubai, the question "Which biryani is best?" often starts arguments. Arun settles the debate with their Chicken Malabar Biryani. Unlike the heavy, cloying Hyderabadi biryani, the Malabar version is fragrant, light, and cooked with kaima rice. The rice grains remain separate and are infused with cardamom, cloves, and star anise. The meat is fall-off-the-bone tender. Pair it with their house-made raita and pickle; you will understand why this dish sells out by 3 PM on weekends.

Walking into Arun Restaurant and Cafe Dubai, you are greeted by an atmosphere of understated elegance. The lighting is warm, mimicking the golden hour of a Malabar evening. Unlike the loud, neon-lit cafeterias often associated with South Asian eateries in Dubai, Arun strikes a delicate balance.

The "Cafe" in its name is a deliberate nod to the traditional Kerala "thattukada" (street-side shack) vibe, but elevated for the modern Dubai diner. You will see families celebrating birthdays next to tables of solo diners working remotely, sipping on strong, aromatic filter coffee. The interiors feature subtle wood accents, clean white tablecloths, and an open kitchen concept that allows the aroma of roasted spices and coconut oil to drift through the dining hall, triggering instant hunger pangs.
