Arsalan clearly brings its reputation as a major catering company into the restaurant environment. The space itself is quite large and carries the atmosphere of a professional events hall. It operates with the efficiency of a high-volume catering establishment, which is reflected in how the dining room is structured. The menu is organized well and offers a broad selection beyond the standard Indian staples. I tried the special mutton biryani, and the quality of the meat was impressive; it was tender and easily fell apart. The butter chicken was also a solid choice. I went with the classic red version, though the staff mentioned they offer a white variety as well. That is something I will have to try during a future visit. Additionally, the green grilled chicken was a highlight, and the accompanying chutney was very good. The service stood out for being both friendly and attentive throughout the meal. If you are searching for a reliable Indian restaurant that handles the basics and specialty dishes with professional consistency, this is a place worth considering.

This is an Indian restaurant. We had been there for a birthday party of my Indian friend. The atmosphere was amazing within a busy city center. Food and service is just okay for us. That because our taste is different than indians. If you like Indian food, this is a place you should try. Also this is a family friendly place.

We had been planning to visit Arsalan restaurant for a long time and finally made it last weekend. The restaurant is quite spacious, ambience gives off a typical Kolkata vibe. We ordered Mutton Rezala, Chicken Chaap, and Chicken Biryani with aloo 😀. The food was delicious overall, though the Chicken Chaap was disappointing as the gravy tasted quite different and not very good. It was a nice experience, but next time I’ll go just for the biryani. The prices are very costly and I think they should revise their price to stay competitive with other good restaurants in Dubai.

This restaurant offers a delicious combination of biryani and curries. We tried double egg chicken roll followed by chicken biryani and chicken kassa.. The biryani was flavorful and perfectly cooked, with fluffy rice and tender meat.The potato makes it even more yummy. The chicken kassa was rich and creamy, with a perfectly balanced spice level. portion sizes are little big for the money.. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for authentic bengali style biryani and curries..

Arsalan Restaurant in Karama is a true gem for lovers of Kolkata-style biryani and Mughlai cuisine. If you’re seeking authentic flavors that transport you straight to the City of Joy, this is the place to be. We tried their Mutton Biryani, and it was absolutely outstanding. The biryani had the perfect balance of flavors and spices, with fragrant saffron, tender pieces of lamb, and the signature Kolkata touch—soft, flavorful potatoes that add a unique twist to this classic dish. Every bite was a nostalgic reminder of the authentic Mughlai culinary heritage that Arsalan has been serving since 2002. The menu also boasts a range of Mughlai dishes, from tandoors to kebabs and buttery naan, ensuring there’s something for every food lover. The ambiance in the Karama branch is simple yet warm, making it a great spot for families and friends to enjoy hearty, flavorful meals. Arsalan brings the best of Kolkata’s culinary magic to Dubai, and it’s a must-visit for anyone craving authentic biryani or Mughlai cuisine. Highly recommended for a trip down memory lane or to discover the irresistible charm of Kolkata’s food culture!

Great food. The assorted chicken platter was melt in the mouth. We combined a Chicken butter Achari with Lachha paratha, tandoori rotis, and romali roti. We also recommend the paneer kofta for any vegetarians. The lassi was also good. Animesh was our server and did offer suggestions. Definitely coming back.

For Kolkata style Biriyani – the classic all time favourite, nothing can get better than Arsalan biriyani. I go there frequently. On this recent visit I had a Calcutta special- Vhicken Rezala , along with The ubiquitous Mutton biriyani. Both were super delectable. Price is premium , as is the Biriyani and other moghlai dishes. Bon apetit.

Did my pastry trials here. It’s an ok food facility with a stress free working environment.

The baked fish I always order is very tasty and money value. Also the steam seafood also great. The only thing is the sauce.. They have 4 types of sauces with different names but all are the same. Lot of garlic and much oil. Not good for my taste. Need to Improve the service.. Is very regular.

I had an amazing experience with Fruit Box Me! Angie was incredibly helpful and friendly, taking the time to recommend the perfect fresh fruits and pastries for our team. She made the entire process so smooth and enjoyable. The fresh fruits were beautifully packed and presented, showing great care and attention to detail. Shiraz, the delivery man, was also wonderful—so polite and friendly, which made the delivery experience even better. Highly recommend this service for anyone looking to treat their team or themselves!

Excellent Breakfast Selection from Fruit Box! We’ve been working with Fruit Box for a long time, regularly ordering fresh fruit deliveries for our business center. This time, we discovered that they also offer a selection of bagels and sandwiches—and we’re so glad we did! Our tenants absolutely loved the variety and quality of the breakfast menu. The food was fresh, delicious, and a great addition to our morning offerings. The positive feedback we received speaks for itself! A big thank you to Fruit Box for consistently providing great service and quality products. We look forward to continuing our partnership!

Ordered next day delivery on their website but they called me the next day (today) said they can’t deliver because tomorrow is a holiday. My wife advised against it but I still wanted to try their fruits. Not sure how their fruits are anymore but it seems their service is not dependable… sad… a concept with potential but lacks professionalism 🤷🏻‍♂️

I ordered a watermelon cake at midnight, and to my surprise, it was delivered early the next morning! Super impressed with the quick turnaround and excellent service. The fruits were super fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Thank you, Fruit Box Team, for such a smooth and satisfying experience!

I ordered the 3 tier waterfall watermelon cake for a birthday celebration. The team were really efficient from the start with sharing information and options and also with making adjustments to the order. They delivered the cake to an outside location by coordinating with the restaurant on their own, which saved me the hassle of doing. The watermelon cake really was beautiful, it looked just like the photo on their website and the fruit they used was really tasty. I was very happy with the whole experience, especially since the birthday girl doesn’t enjoy normal cake, so this was perfect. I will definitely order again.

I had a wonderful experience with the Fruit Cake! What I appreciated the most was their prompt delivery, especially since I placed my order just a day in advance. I will definitely continue to order from them .. ❤️

It was referred by another company, and I’m so glad I chose to try their services. From the very start, their team has been incredibly professional, ensuring a smooth and pleasant experience. The quality of the food is exceptional—fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. We’ve enjoyed every order, and their attention to detail truly sets them apart. I highly recommend The Fruit Box ME for anyone looking for high-quality, reliable service. We’ll definitely be coming back for future orders!

We had packed meal order in our office everyday. Food is so fresh and high quality, a lot of variety . No preservative . And its so yummy and healthy with reasonable price ❤️❤️❤️ loved it

Our company had a get-together dinner at our MD’s residence last 15 February 2024. The food was soo good that even my colleagues from The Netherlands who were visiting our office at that time were all praise on the foods’ taste and so impressed on the presentation of the buffet. Special thanks to Rama who organized this and was very prompt in answering my emails. Special mention as well to Sandun who always assisted us with a smile on that dinner night. If you want your events to be extra special, Epicure must be your go-to catering. Thanks again, Rama.

Epicure did a fabulous job with the catering for our anniversary. The food was excellent and beautifully presented, my guests loved it. The staff were very good and attentive too taking care of all our needs. I will surely be using them again for my other functions

We had a corporate event for which we ventured out of our comfort zone, selecting a completely new caterer. Now with the successful completion of the event, I feel this was a great decision and great choice. All the people I connected with at Epicure, beginning from the Manager – Savio D’souza, Sales Coordinator – Ramakrishna Nair and the concierge in-charge – Brian, it was great service and great food. A great team to work with for stress-free catering services. We certainly plan to use them again. Thank you Epicure!

I met this company during a jewelry fair, they were serving food. I was very surprised, all meals were tasty, different combinations every day. The staff deserved special thanks for their best service, Abbie Alvarez patiently explained the ingredients of the dishes and helped in everything efficiently. Thank you very much, good job

We had our business management lunch and it was great service, on Time, responsive, and food was fresh and tasty. Will use them again in future meetings…

So friendly with professional workers, Always ready to serve, nice and delicious meals

I really appreciate to Rahul singh, the staff was very friendly and Food was very fantastic and delicious

Worst experience everytime I go to Accuro catering in University Hospital Sharjah, it isn’t about the money but every time I have food from there my stomach is upset many times there’s too much salt in all the foods I don’t know how these people still survive by serving these kind of food.i would never have food from Accuro caterer again in my life

Ordered Bite Foods for a corporate event on very short notice and they delivered without compromising the quality, Thanks to Mr. Nagaraj and his production team for the relentless efforts to keep up the higher Customer Satisfaction.

I have 2 family members with positive cases doing home quarantine. Food delivery was not consistent and always late. Today I received the breakfast, lunch and dinner meals at 530pm. Not sure if the food is still safe to eat as it was not kept cool. Also saw the delivery guy throw away some food. Such a waste of food and effort that the Government is spending money on. Hope SEHA is aware and rectify the issue.

When my 75 year old mother got COVID positive, the only service I received from DOH was the food service. Not only did they provide food from the very first day, they also listened to all my concerns regarding the food and delivered it specially according to my mother’s needs. I was contacted by one of their employees, Nazrin Hafiz as soon as I complained regarding services that were supposed to be given by SEHA but no-one contacted me except the food service and continued to be the only service provided during the whole period . The food service was incredible, They listened to the customer’s complaints and concerns and tried to solve the problem as much as possible till the end. Very happy with the food services and congratulations to the company for having Nazrin Hafiz as a wonderful employee, who took her time to listen and comply to my requests and even contacted me directly to ease me in these difficult times.

If someone is going to this place better be ready to get worst treatment with 0 help or service even as a customer or a worker please dont go

Very poor accomodation and other facilities for the staff … They don’t issue any medical card…if anything happen then u hv to pay the whole bill of medical nd no increment here … Many person working more than 12 hours…u don’t get leave in every week nd very rude they are … Pls don’t come here … If u want alive

The food is simply outstanding! Every meal tastes like a home-cooked dish made with love. Delicious, fresh, diverse, and consistently excellent. A real pleasure every time. Highly recommended!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Big shoutout to Caravella Catering Service LLC! Svetlana was super helpful (speaks Russian btw), made ordering a sweet-pie & butter-buns with cherry for a surprise so easy 🍰. Husband loved the cherry cake & jam pastries – he was IN LOVE 😍. If you’re in Dubai, def hit ‘em up for Valentine’s Day treats or any occasion! 👌

We placed an order for the international day at school. Staff was super customer oriented – they met all our requirement and delivered just on time to the venue. And all items were very tasty. I can definitely recommend them. Thank you!

I just wanted to share some feedback regarding the meat pie I recently ordered. Unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. The meat was very dry and lacked flavor, and the pastry was extremely thick, which made it difficult to eat. Sadly, I was unable to finish it and had to throw it away, which I truly regret as it felt like a waste of money. I hope this feedback helps improve the quality in the future.

Dear Caravella team We ordered before and we liked it. This time the famous Russian dishes were simply horrible. I emailed you and attached all photos, 4 out of 5 meals we ordered were disaster. Meat/or that rubbery tissue in olivie salad was black color and not possible to chew, herring salad was bitter, stuffed cabbage leaves were tasteless and manty were super dry and with strange minced meat inside. No reply to our email and lost regular customer. Will never order in your place again.

We have been ordering for two years at Caravella but lately the quality has significantly dropped. Julienne was dry and many very greasy. The worst thing we all got diarrhea next day, had to take medication even. There was some sort of bacteria in manty. Clean your kitchen, don’t poison people!

I order business lunches here a few times a week. Great quality, generous portions, and probably the best lunch sets you can get for this price.

I must express my disappointment with both the quality of the food and the pricing strategy employed by this provider. The dishes served lack flavor, falling short of what one would expect from a service catering to young students. It’s disheartening to see such disregard for taste and quality in meals that are supposed to nourish and satisfy. Moreover, the pricing is a significant concern. The cost of basic items such as juices, curd, and cakes is double what one might pay at a retail store. This mark-up is unjustifiable and places an unnecessary financial burden on students and their families. Given that students have limited options and are essentially a captive audience, it feels exploitative to charge such inflated prices for substandard offerings.

They providing variety of healthy and delightful meal for kids and yours.

My son seems happy with the foods available at his school canteen, and I’m even happier that I don’t have to purchase school snacks from outside. So, thank you to Slices and GEMS for facilitating parents like me. Keep up the good work. 👍🏽

Horrible, horrible food. None of their items taste good; forget taste, some are even rotten from the inside. Highly overpriced, awful quality, I don’t know why the heck they haven’t shut down yet. I ordered their chicken burger (which was 11 aed) and the chicken didn’t look like chicken, the lettuce and tomato had turned black and the entire thing smelled awful. I was considering reporting this, but missed the chance.

Slices deserves a big thank you for providing a wide range of culturally diverse food options. My child absolutely loves the Biryani from their canteen. It’s a great way to introduce different flavors and cuisines. Highly appreciate it, Slices!

Slices is if not the worst school canteen catering service, they are so heavily focused on ‘healthy food’ yet they serve 10aed chocolate bricks, and high carb turkey cheese croissants. On the flip side, they are consistently achieving a horrendous price-product ratio, to spend 16aed on a croissant, when you could be spending HALF of that on a nutritious meal from a retail store. Overall, between me and my peers, we have never heard a good thing about slices; The food is unflavoured and dull, and the pricing is horrible.

This is a great company with good health food, Rich in all kinds of vitamins and nutrients Healthy for children and it’s under a Dubai munispality.

Absolutely terrible experience. I specifically instructed that the chicken biryani be delivered in G-pans so it could be served to my guests properly, but instead it arrived in one big pot. That alone was frustrating, but it got much worse. The bottom portion of the biryani was completely burnt. Whoever transferred it to the G-pans clearly saw this and still chose to scrape the burnt layer and mix it into the rest of the rice. As a result, most of the chicken pieces at the bottom were badly burnt, leaving very little edible chicken. On top of that, the rice quality was extremely poor and didn’t resemble basmati at all — no aroma, no proper texture, just cheap rice. The dry fruit halwa was even more disappointing. The cashews in it were mouldy. The moment I opened the container, I could clearly see they were not edible and had to throw the entire thing away. That was a complete waste of money. I shared photos and videos with the person I ordered from and complained immediately, but there was zero response. No apology, no attempt to resolve the issue, nothing. This level of customer service is unacceptable, especially when food quality and hygiene are compromised. Very unprofessional, careless, and honestly shocking. I would strongly advise others to avoid ordering from here. I will definitely not be ordering again.

We ordered 2 thaal from them. The quantity of biryani was so less that we could serve only one plate in thaal. And over and above this, all the people had food poisoning next day. And then instead of apologizing , they argued that you might have consumed something else and it cannot be because of us. Would never think of ordering from them again.

The food quality was poor, and some guests even felt sick after eating it. We would not recommend ordering food from there to anyone.

They served stale food. There were 20 of us who got food poisoning after consuming their meal. First time that I had such a bad experience in the UAE.

We ordered 3 thaals for our event, but the quantity provided was nowhere near what was promised. The salad got over halfway through the dinner, leaving guests without it, and the biryani portion was shockingly less for 3 thaals. This was extremely disappointing and caused embarrassment in front of our guests. When customers pay for a certain quantity, it is expected to be fulfilled in full — not cut short. Such service is unacceptable, and we will think twice before ordering again unless there’s a serious improvement in quantity and commitment.

Amazing food ordered twice at home for 2 thaal vardi and 2nd time bakra thal. Great taste and quantity is also sufficient.

U will find lazeez in their name only.. their food and quantity was UNlazeez..worst experience.

I ordered catering for a business meeting and will be ordering again! The food was delicious and fresh, but most importantly, it was beautifully presented, just what I was looking for. Everything was delivered on time and looked perfect. I’m very happy with my order🥰

06 May – We aimed for seamless service that reflects quality in every aspect and Smart Catering delivered exactly that. From timely delivery and excellent presentation to great taste and overall team satisfaction, every detail was handled professionally. Two thumbs up to Smart Catering for a job well done!

We ordered 3 boxes, and everything was very fresh and delicious! The croissants were especially amazing – our favorite. The packaging is very nice and convenient, everything looked beautiful and well-prepared. The delivery was right on time, which was a big plus. We really enjoyed it and will definitely order again, especially for bigger parties! 😊

I organised a boat party and chose this company for catering. The food that arrived was very tasty and nicely presented, and the delivery was on time, which I really appreciated. My guests enjoyed what was provided. There were, however, some issues with communication — I didn’t receive an email confirmation, and just before delivery I was told that the burgers and pies (the main items on the menu) wouldn’t be included. At the time, this was disappointing, but since then the company has followed up and offered a 40% refund, which I feel is a fair gesture and shows they do care about their customers. I’d suggest a few improvements for next time: sending clear email confirmations, keeping customers updated about any menu changes in advance, and labelling food boxes so it’s easy to tell what’s what — especially important for guests with dietary requirements. Overall, I appreciate the effort they made to make things right, and I do think the food quality and flavours were excellent. With a bit more attention to communication and organisation, this could be a really great catering service.

We organized a small dinner with both adults and kids. So glad we chose Smart Catering — the food was fresh, the children were thrilled with the mini-skewers and burgers, and we loved the bruschettas. We ordered 5 different meal sets, and it was super convenient that all waste fit back into the boxes. Such a practical format! Highly recommend!

We had a great experience with smart catering , all people in my son’s birthday party loved the foods and kept asking us where we got the foods. Plus they are truly on time and we didn’t have any issues. Highly recommended.

I ordered catering from the Smart Catering for a birthday celebration on a yacht. The format was perfect, they accepted the order just a day in advance and delivered everything flawlessly, even though the volume was very large! Everything was delicious, beautifully presented and of high quality. Highly recommended!
