We were recommended to try out Ballimaran Dilli specializing in
Indian Lucknowi cuisine, in Dubai’s Karama area and which was pretty difficult
to find at first. Its located on 6A street but better to call and take
directions, tel.no. is 04-3972224.
We were eager to try out the Sheermal and the Lucknowi Galouti
Kebabs and that was the main reason for our trip. The waiter who attended on us
was an old chap with pretty good experience of the stuff available and
recommended we go for the Mutton Nihari and with it some Kulchas plus our
choice, which was Sheermal topped with Galouti Kebabs and a Lucknowi Dumwala
Mutton Biryani.
We were absolutely disappointed with the Sheermal Bread topped
with the Galouti kebabs as the Sheermal was a very flat tasteless bread with a
kind off rubbery texture without any flavour. The kebab was soft, smooth and
mildly spiced but the texture was too soft and pasty for our liking.
However the star of the show was the Kulchas which was one of
the best breads I have ever eaten. It had a golden brown crispy crusty top with
buttery soft layers of goodness. The Nihari was excellent and nicely spiced and
the kulchas were absolutely divine when dipped in the Nihari.
This was the saving grace of our lunch outing as the Lucknowi Dum Biryani was disappointing as it lacked any flavour and as is the case, biryanis made in restaurants rarely qualify to make the list of recommendations.

We didn’t have space for anything more to experiment but I would
definitely recommend the Kulchas and Nihari.
