Hot N Spicy

First time trying Pakistani food. We had Chicken Peshawari Karahi, chicken bbq grill and the alamgir doodhpatti chai. The food was awesome and the service staff were very attentive. We enjoyed ourselves very much! There’s indoor and outdoor seating. Recommend!

Review is for Hot n Spicy JLT - After a week-long business trip in Japan, I had an overnight transit stay in Dubai and was really missing desi flavours. I was glad to find that my hotel was close to Hot N Spicy Dubai, so I decided to try it. The food had authentic flavours I ordered the mixed grill, and the presentation was very nice, served on a charcoal tray that kept everything warm. Prices were quite reasonable as well. Overall, a very good experience and definitely recommended.

I finally made it to this absolute gem of a Pakistani spot in Downtown Dubai tonight, and honestly? For once, the TikTok and Insta hype wasn’t just noise. It was the real deal. Since it was the weekend, the place was absolutely buzzing. We ended up waiting about an hour for a table, but we didn't really mind you could just tell the crowd was there for a reason. I’ll admit, I’m a bit of a skeptic when it comes to viral spots. I’ve always felt that "soul food" belongs in hidden corners, and that these fancy, high end places usually trade authentic flavor for aesthetics. I’ve never been so happy to be proven wrong. We kept it classic Chicken Karahi, Chicken Boti Roll, and Bun Kabab, with a steaming chainak of doodh patti to wash it all down. After that long wait, I took that first bite and just... wow. It wasn’t just good it was a total nostalgic trip. The spices were bold, the heat was unapologetic, and it tasted exactly like a late night on the streets of Karachi. No shortcuts, no toning it down just pure, authentic fire. I couldn’t bring myself to leave without saying something, so I asked to see the owner. He came out straight from the kitchen, looking like a man who had been personally hovering over every single plate to make sure it was perfect. I couldn't help it I gave him a hug right then and there. "Bhai, kamaaaal khana hai," I told him. The huge, genuine smile he gave me back? That’s the kind of warmth you only find in a real desi spot. A solid 10/10. It’s got the flavor, the authenticity, and most importantly, the heart. Now If you’re in Dubai and your soul is craving that specific Lahore and Karachi wali vibe, stop scrolling and just get here. I’m already planning my next visit inshallah .

Best Pakistani food place inI Business Bay. They do breakfast too! I enjoyed the food at Hot N Spicy. 10/10. I ordered:- 1).Chicken Haandi, 2).Achari Haandi, 3).Chicken Dum Briyani, 4).Chicken Tikka. Special thanks to Owais and Salahuddin for the hospitality. Excellent customer service, value for money, perfect location - walking distance from Paramount Hotel.

Overall satisfying! Vegetable Karahi 3.5/5 not many Vegetables it was aloo 80% would have been better if it had equally more the other veggies or peas. if you like spicy you might like it...for me Little spicy it was. Tandoori chapathi 4/5 Chicken dum biryani 4/5 Though it wasn't much crowded the service was little slow, had to call them twice for water bottle..or bill ..but they were kind enough evn though they were busy.

Hot N Spicy Restaurant in Dubai is a hidden gem for authentic desi flavours. The mutton kadhai is the real standout—rich, perfectly spiced, and slow-cooked to tender perfection with a smoky aroma.

Absolutely incredible experience! The food here is 10/10 packed with authentic flavor and served piping hot. We tried a few different dishes and every single one was a hit. Great atmosphere for outdoor seating in Business Bay, and the service was top-notch. If you’re looking for amazing South East Asian food in Dubai, this is the spot. I’ll definitely be back!
