In the realm of Pakistani eateries in the UAE, Daily Restaurant stands out as a prominent name, renowned for its 'Desi food' for 46 years. This family-run establishment is celebrated for its exquisite traditional Pakistani cuisine, including dishes like Nihari, Biryani, Kebabs, and more. Navigating through the menu is a delightful challenge, as each dish promises unparalleled taste.

Originally established by Abdul Rehman Khan in 1978 as 'Delhi Restaurant' on Ysuf Bakar Road, Deira Dubai, the business expanded in 1997 to eight locations under the name Daily Restaurant. Managed by Rehman Khan and his sons, the restaurant attracts a diverse clientele with its competitive pricing and unwavering food quality. Currently, the restaurant employs around 150 staff across all branches, with some employees having served for over 40 years.
The culinary legacy began with head chef Wasi Ustad, a close family friend of Rehman Khan, whose legacy continues through his skilled sons and nephews. The recipes have remained unchanged since 1978, ensuring consistent quality. The menu has seen minimal updates to adapt to changing times, with special emphasis on daily specials like the popular paya dish served on Thursdays and Sundays.
The restaurant's commitment to quality is evident in its exclusive collaboration with a single pakwan family, a key factor in maintaining standards. The management actively seeks customer feedback to continuously improve service. This dedication to excellence has attracted numerous celebrities and corporate clients, solidifying its reputation as a symbol of quality and perfection in Pakistani cuisine.
As the business evolves, the family behind Daily Restaurant takes great pride in its growth and customer satisfaction. With eight branches in Dubai and plans to expand across other Emirates, the future looks promising for this iconic eatery.
