Grand Ustad Hotel city

This restaurant situates in Shabiya 9 and very near to safeer mall. Very limited seating capacity in a small space. Overcrowded with bachelors especially during lunch timings. So I am not suggesting this to any families for dine in.
I tried pothi choru. Taste was average, couldn’t feel something special.side dishes were very less in quantity. I felt that staffs were misers to reserve the curries and all…, which is very bad thing for a good resturant. We need to call them many times for needs.
Bit expensive compare to other kerala resturants in Shabiya.

Chemmeen chattichoru, meals, kuttichira beef with nice pathiri are highly recommended. Staffs are friendly but the seating is less inside. Hope they will restart the outside dining soon. People who dont like over spicy food can choose to dine with them.

Placed online order worst fish curry I have ever had pathetic don't choose this one plss,

3-4 times dining from the place and never went out disappointed.authentic biriyani, kappa biriyani.snacks.love this place

We sat outside. It was almost 12 am. They still had good verities of food available at midnight. Took some time to serve, but was tasty.

Not that much tasty as expected. Also the cost of food is too much compared to the other same level restaurants. Not Recommended.

Worth of money
This is not a high end restaurant, just average restaurant with good service and nice food. Family sitting available.

Have pre booked Onam Sadhya one day before,
The delivery never came, neither they received the call also. Had to compromise with other dishes from another restaurant.
They spoiled my day. Will never ever order from these irresponsible place. And I ll maximum give publicity for what I have gone through.
Never recommended.

The branch number
where I placed the order is 025528857.
If you say that I ve not placed the order, your staffs doesn't know to do the booking.

Eventhough the restaurant is little conjested and only a few tables for dine in, the quality and taste of food is superb. The kombankoottu beef was mind blowing

I have visited them couple of times before and today was a bad experience. With a congested place and no specific space for family, we expect a better food and much better service from them. But sadly both was not there. Chattichoru is the known special food available there which we came for. The food was disappointing and suggest to go for something else.

Food is nice. I was a regular customer. But quality of service is very bad on these days. Hope management will seriously look into this matter. Even how tasty the food, service is not good no one will choose the place.

Worst restaurant. Took more than 1 and a half hour to deliver. Ordered less than 5 items. Never order at night!

Average food. Ordered the following:
Chicken 65- it was okay
Kerala Porotta - was not flaky at all
Chicken varutharacha curry - average
Beef varattiyath - didnt like it at all.

A tiny restaurant
Not good for Family, they don't follow any Covid guidelines. Won't recommend if you are concerned about health safety.

Again ordered the same. Nellika Manga Meen Curry. Wow. Its simply awesome.

Bit my friend ordered one kappa biriyani. Oh god, it was a disaster, we complaint it and they removed it from the bill. We appreciate it for caring your customers.

Very small place compare to other branch.good for bachelors.family needs to think.food taste is good

The shop have a very good quality and very low prices all about of you I recommend you any people to buy bab Madina electric

Took a long time to prepare the order. No cutlery was provided along with take away. Food was just ok.

The food is really flavourful keralite dishes especially chatti choru. Mix of rice with option of chicken, beef or fish at very affordable rates

The snacks and tea are superb at the snack counter. Unniyappam, Elayada and Kay-Pothu are yummy!

Delivery time may take 2 hours or may not deliver also. Order on your own risk. Pathetic communication.

Food was good, it was served in huge quantity so it's surely recommend for families. Great Kerala style cuisine

Service is good. Kerala cuisine. Dining area is comparatively small. But all items on menu not available at all times. Even sharbath is available only in 1 flavour

Kerala hotel
Those who like kerala homely food opt for.
Spicy food
Limited space but good staff.

Price is too high comparing similar restaurants, taste not good as before. Bought beef fry but not cooked welll was so hard, just looks black colour. Chicken Eripori dhs 35 but not worthy, full of bones! Fish mango nellikka curry not at all tasty just made it from microwave. Overall just OK!

Wornst south Indian restaurant I have ever seen in UAE. Just adding 3 pieces of meat and serving as "chattipperakk" and increased the rate from 10 to 12. Day by day they are reducing the quantity of meat in chattipperakku. It is the first restaurant anywhere in the world charging for additional rice. Staff attittude towards customer is very rude.

Check out the dish "chatti perakk" and "chutta kozhi and Chor" (Kerala dish), yummy and best in list

Shabiya is a place in Abudhabi which makes you feel that you are in your homeland United Kerala. You will find lots of different corners sides of Shabiya.

Ustad Hotel is the one of the must eat place in Shabiya. The name was inspired from the very famous malayalam movie Ustad Hotel.
They serves best malabari lunch rice items in a traditional style. Must try lunch menu from here. They have Pothichoru, Chatii choru, Palli choru. (limited menu). Nicely presentation and homely meals feel made me to put 5/5 ratings.

Tried Chammen Chatti Parek - Its served in mud clay pot with tasty nadan prawns curry and one prawns fry. Payasam also served. Total worth try one if you are a prawns lover. They have beef chatti parek with beef curry and fry.

Highly recommended to non malabaris to taste the authentic malabari style food

Amazing food, great service, reasonable prices, poor wash area, tight parking areas. Must try their special dishes.

I had very bad experience in ustad hotel staff. Staff Attitude towards customers very bad and Rude. Chatti choru and palli choru is nothing great. They reducing the Quantity of meat day by day in chatti chor and serving just plain rice with 2 or 3 piece beef.

Its a restaurant serving kerala food at abudhabi.food was ok, not soo impressive. The seating space available is too less, may be able to serve food for 20 persons at a time.while we visited i was a little dissapointed with their menu, chiken items were not available (might have gone short of chiken dish), only beef and mutton as non veg, and i don't eat both, but veg food was available. Menu is very limited.but the way they serve food is quite intresting, in clay made vessels.
Parking space is not much available.
Wash area is not properly maintained, lacks cleanliess.

Located at heart of Shabiah- spacious parking available, variety of food items are available, those who are looking for a variety of lunch can try the grand ustad hotel, Chattichor, pallichor etc-especially Keralites will like it

I place to fulfill nostalgia of ur good old days at ur ancestral home. The feel and memories of having food in the clay pot can be lived here. U need to be there and u will go back.

The food doesn't taste that gud to give another star. The team need to work on the taste to make people coming back apart from the nostic feel

This Indian cousin restaurant have a wide menu with south Indian and north indian restaurant, the resturant name is very famous but the recepies are not that much satisfies the costumer, as I tasted the dinner is ok with the taste but the price is very expensive, and lunch normal rice set price is 12AED and it is not worth for the price biriyani costing 15-18aed is also same situation and service from the restaurant is also not upto the standard of the price what they billing ok dine with family don't expect surprises it's just ok restaurant.

Don't go on weekend's. Buffet is available. They are forced to order buffets. No other dishes available.

Very bad manners.went the restaurant with family and sat around the table unattended for 15 minutes.finally we got out of the restaurant for finding another one.

Great homely food at affordable price, must visit. Very limited seats available, so try to reach early, especially weekends. Also parking may be issue during peak times.
No credit card payment, so keep cash. Hand was area is cramped, so expect long queues.

Ustad Hotel special and taste item is "CHATTICHORU". That's really nice. CHATTICHORU comes with Brown rice, Beef curry, Beef Roast, Chammanthi, Upperi, curd. All this is good.
Cost is AED: 10. This set is good enough for one person. If you need extra rice and curry they will offer but they charge.
When it comes to the ambience nice but the Washing area is slight conjusted. Hard to get seat in the time of noon.
Suppliers attitude towards costumers is good.

Overall rating
Food.: 5/5
Ambience: 3/5
Pricing.: 4/5
Attitude.: 4/5

Excellent curries, love their meen curry with nellikka and manga, love it. Beef roast is nice, so are their other curries very unique. Have more specials on weekend than on weekdays. Budget is a little bit higher than other restaurants in Mussafah, then again the food is naiceee:). Ambiance is also well set, not too posh but very descent family atmosphere. Definitely wort the trip

My favorite place

You find typical Kerala no Calicut food

I am a vegetarian and I love this hotel eventhough they serve non veg

My favourite is the soya kizhi
