The regular clientele in this clean no-frills establishment speaks volumes: they're all Pakistani, and they're all here for the wholesome, authentic taste of home. Exceptionally good value and conveniently close to the Riffa Fort, this is well worth a detour after a long day of exploring. If you've got the patience, order the slow-cooked mutton biryani – it is out of this world.
