    Salkara qusais, is the trusted partner for all our outdoor events. Yearly at least we will give 5-6 outdoor orders. Since last 6 years, they never disappointed in quality or quantity. Their level of dedication in responding to our requirements, coordination, pricing by Pradeep Bhai is amazing. Outdoor delivery, counter management, working on live menu by Jithinraj, Soukat, Sibin are very pleasing and professional. Highly advising for outdoor catering and dine in.

    Kerala meals is a good options for a spread. They have an elaborate menu and so many options to choose from. Also had beef chili, parotha, chicken 65 & biryani. Almost evrything we ordered was so good. To enjoy the meal don’t forget to order the sharbat. The staff is well organized and even though we waited for 20 mins it’s was worth the wait

    Salkara is a great dining place to have the authentic Kerala dishes. The fish curry, appam, meals , beef dishes everything takes back to the tastes of Kerala. Only difficulty is to get seating during peek times. Service and attention is mostly good, we didn't face much issues with it. The food quality, and consistency found good during our visits. We have been there for more than 4 times. Rates ar on the higher side but once in a while it's okay to have it from there.

    Forever favourite for lunch except for the fact of long waiting time. So choose your visiting time carefully. Around 1 pm not so much difficult and u won’t easily find table if with big family. They also have salted raw mango options which is more yummy.

    Great food. Good parking area. Decent rates! A place to catch up with college friends and also, a go-to-place with family after shopping! The major attraction is the adjacent metro station and the Lulu hypermarket! My favourite dish here were Fish Tawa Fry, Beef Vattichathu, Fish Curry Meals, Porotta, Appam, Biriyani (mutton/chicken), Crab Varuthu Vattichathu etc. From the juice segment, Soda Sarbath was a bliss! UPDATE: Recently had 'prawns kizhi biriyani' that was not worth the hype and cost (AED 35 per serving). Average waiting time was around 15-20 mins and the place was a little noisy due to the crowd as it was peak lunch hour.

    Easily one of the best South Indian restaurant in whole UAE. They have almost everything. Freshly cooked delicious food, very good staff, a good variety of dishes, free car parking, waiting area etc. Their curries and bread are freshly cooked and delicious. I have been their regular customer for last 4-5 years and they have been always consistent on the quality, taste and service. Try their Alappy chicken curry and chicken mulakitathu with Pathiri or porotta Their Biriyani is also very good. Please do not expect great ambience or fancy interior this place is very plane. It’s a clean and neat place they have around 29 tables inside and can accommodate around 50-60 people at a time. Since they are next to Stadium lulu hyper market and metro station it’s an idea place to go for food and shopping. Their prices are quite reasonable and portions are medium sized.

    Mixed feeling about taste. As i am a vegetarian i am more demanding for taste and quality. This place was too much crowded that 1st time in my life i sit in the waiting for 25 minutes before the management called my name to be seated...lol... Parking is easily available. Value for money food items... price was very reasonable according to dubai living standards.

    One of the best restaurants in Dubai. I would say.. If you like kerala food, this is for you.. a must try option. I have tried Salkara dishes many times.. 💕 Recently I visited on Nov 23. I tried hamoor polichath 😋 and fish mango curry 🍛 with putt, porotta and appam. Yummy 🤤 awesome 👍 food.. Only thing I am not satisfied is the waiting time.. but the dishes serving is hot.. appam is making live. May be that's why it's is late.. Except that excellent 👌 service. Staffs are very friendly and accommodating.. Special thanks to Mr Kaushik and Mr Abin.. 💯 for the awesome service last time.. Their recommendation was beyond my expectations. Thanks SALKARA ✨

    Specialized for Indian foods. One of the best restaurants in Dubai 🇦🇪. So many varieties of dishes and they do taste superb 👌 😋 Prices are fair and reasonable for the quality and tasty dishes. Always a wait time and got to be in the queue. Very busy restaurant. If you are looking for a peaceful dine out then I wouldn't recommend this place. Toilet 🚻 facilities available. Parking 🅿️ facilities available. Recommend for the taste of their dishes.

    Good evening Team Salakara We used to have food from salkara once in a week. We were very happy. But today they disappointed us by Chicken biriyani, taste and quality are not same as before (chicken feels like less masala it wasvlike light green colour and chicken pieces were white colour and flavour of biriyani was not there in both rice and chicken). I recommend salkara to advice ur chef about this issues. Hope to get back the same old taste. Thanks.

    Guys If you ever get a chance to visit Salkara Restaurant- Dubai stadium branch ( Near Lulu) you must try the sharjah shake prepared by Mr. Dinesh . Once you try you will be addicted into that. So tasty 🤤🤤

    Good food, plenty of seats still crowded. I tried puttu, dosa, omlette, chicken curry - all were so tasty and fresh. Their kitchen is see through, also have live kitchen for omlette etc. Both free and paid parking available. Free Parking is bit tough with lulu.

    I recently dined at this Kerala cuisine restaurant in Qusais, and it was a remarkable experience. It’s a branch of one of the oldest and most reputable restaurant chains from Calicut, so expected truly authentic food. What impressed me the most was the distinct taste of each dish I tried. The restaurant’s inviting interior not only allowed me to enjoy a delightful cup of tea but also provided an excellent setting for networking. Plus, the convenience of parking is a big plus, and if you’re lucky, you might even score free parking!

    This places is usually full and finding seats is kind of tough. Ambience is not so great but once you are past that the food is really great. We tried their meal and loved all the things in it. They serve a warm drink with the food on the table and it is meant to aid digestion. The taste of that was great. Looking forward to try other dishes soon.

    One of the best Kerala restaurant in Dubai. This place is fully packed all the time ao as to wait some time to get in. I am a big fan of their kerala meals, being epxensive tast wise it is so good. Coming to the dinner part, their mango fiah curry with appam is an heavenly combination. Overall not a fine dining expereince due to crown, even food is very tasty

    Food is good but little bit pricey. Food quantity is above average and quality of service is also good. Porotta is very good and crispy. Vegetarian items are average quality. Convenient parking space available due to lulu and easy to get. Public parking spaces also available nearby.

    Biriyani chai is just a fancy looking chai with nothing more to it other than lots of froth. I expected it to have a little masala to it but no, it was regular chai which “danced” a little. Otherwise their food is quite good!

    We went here for lunch. But we reached lately around 3 pm. This time rush was not that much. However we given our name and waited for our turn. It hardly took 5 minutes only to get the seat. Even though we reached lately, we got meals. We ordered fish curry meals and chicken biriyani. Fish curry meals - It was served with thoran, pickle, chutney, one curry, sambar, another gravy curry, fish curry, pappadam, chips, moru, salt chilly, payasam etc. The taste was delicious. Chicken biriyani - It was served with salad, pappad, pickle, chutney, payasam etc. The taste was also good.

    Salkara Qusais always has good food in the multiple times I have dined here plus their staff is super friendly. Our go to order always includes Mango fish curry, egg roast, appams and poratas and of course tender coconut pudding.

    The best place to have dinner with family. The staff was so nice and helpful, and thank you mr Jithin raj, one of the staff there. for recommending Ananas grilled chicken.

  • 4/5 Ramya D. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered the Vishu sadhya which came in a special box. The grand Vishu spread had 26 items as per the menu (our box was missing 3 items though). Every single dish tasted amazing (except one item had no salt). Medium spicy and good portion size. The very delicious Mumbazha Puliserry(mango curry) turned out to be our favourite. This was priced at aed 43.

    This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking for authentic Kerala cuisine. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. I highly recommend the meal with fish curry combo and with shredded coconut beef fry."

  • 5/5 Sakeer N. 1 year ago on Google
    I loved the ambience, the food they served and the amazing hospitality. They have a variety of dishes and I am yet to try many of them in my upcoming visits. The staff are well trained and highly professional. Mr. Jithinraj had an extraordinary skill in recommending us the best dishes and serving us on time. Cravingly waiting for my next visit to Salkara.

  • 5/5 Joana T. 5 months ago on Google
    Saw a post here about a special drink so I asked about it and they served it. It was a cooling sweet creamy drink, perfect for the savory mutton dish I ordered with Kerala Paratha. So good, I wish I could try other dishes one day :)
