About this spot
In Al Karama's bustling streets, Chettinad House delivers fiery South Indian flavors that stand out from the city's usual Middle Eastern fare.

The open-air seating lets you soak up the neighborhood vibe while waiting for your charcoal-grilled meats to arrive.
💡 Tips before you go

- Ask for the mutton biryani to be served immediately after cooking, as it dries out quickly.
- Bring cash for small change, as many local spots in Al Karama do not accept credit cards.
