My Favourite Kitchens of Sharjah: Flavours at a Fraction of the Cost

Gulf Dining Kitchen, formerly known as Al Jamahir Public Chicken, has become my go-to spot for a delicious and budget-friendly meal. Their biryani and pulao, are simply amazing—packed with flavour and perfectly cooked. What truly stands out is their flavourful taste of the food as well as generous portions; a 10 AED parcel is more than enough to feed two people, making it incredibly affordable. My friend has made it a ritual for us, to pick up their pulao especially every Friday after prayer, and the experience never disappoints. Whether you’re craving a hearty biryani or comforting pulao, Gulf Dining Kitchen delivers exceptional taste at unbeatable value.

Mutton Pulao: My Favourite and tops my list of Mutton Pulao in Sharjah.
Mutton Biryani: Tried one time and it was not good. Definitely, can’t base my review on one time.

Anm Al Pakistan Restaurant & Kitchen, conveniently located near Rolla Square Park in Sharjah, is my go-to spot for authentic Pakistani Biryani or Pulao. While only serving these two types of rice, they focus on delivering quantity. The biryani is aromatic and generously spiced, while the pulao offers a minimal yet subtle flavour profile, with tender mutton and perfectly cooked rice. Whether you’re strolling through Rolla Square or simply craving a taste of Biryani or Pulao, this kitchen is a delightful stop for it.

Mutton Pulao: 2nd on my list of favourite Mutton Pulao in Sharjah.
Chicken Biryani: Their Chicken Biryani is good, flavourful and I kinda like it.

Dairah Restaurant in Muwaileh Commercial holds a special place for me as it’s where my ritual of having biryani after Friday prayers began. I tried their biryani, and it was satisfying, flavours were rich, a bit more spices for my taste, and the rice was perfectly cooked. They usually serve the biryani Daig on fridays after the prayer. Generous portions in just 10 Dhs. They even sell for 5 Dhs but with out chicken pieces in it.
