Mocktails & Mango Lassi
Before the feast begins, the bar sets the tone. The mocktails are not mere refreshments — they’re crafted experiences. Each sip balances spice, sweetness, and surprise. The Mango Lassi, meanwhile, is a creamy ode to nostalgia — perfectly chilled, subtly tangy, and refreshingly pure. It’s the kind of drink that reminds you why simplicity, when done right, is perfection.
Karari Kale Chaat
The Karari Kale Chaat is where Khadak’s genius truly shines. This reimagined street-food classic brings crisp kale leaves, a whisper of tamarind, and a drizzle of yogurt together in a flavor explosion. The crunch lingers, the tang teases — and you find yourself wondering why no one thought of this before.
Garlic Naan & Baigan Anaara Raita
A comforting pair that defines Indian dining. The Garlic Naan arrives soft, buttery, and perfectly blistered, ideal for scooping up the Baigan Anaara Raita — a revelation of smoky eggplant, pomegranate pearls, and cooling yogurt. It’s familiar yet elevated, playful yet poised.
Guntur Butter Chicken
If Khadak had a signature masterpiece, it would be the Guntur Butter Chicken. A dish that pays homage to southern spice and northern comfort, this version turns up the heat without losing balance. The sauce — rich, velvety, and unapologetically indulgent — coats tender chicken pieces that practically melt in your mouth. It’s the kind of dish that wins hearts, one spoonful at a time.
Patthar Ka Gosht
Then comes the Patthar Ka Gosht — an old Hyderabad classic brought to life with Khadak’s modern finesse. Cooked on hot stone, the meat retains its juiciness while absorbing smoky undertones. Every bite carries the intensity of charcoal, spice, and craftsmanship. It’s bold, dramatic, and deeply satisfying.
Sweet Endings and Perfect Pauses
A meal at Khadak wouldn’t be complete without dessert — and here, they don’t just sweeten your palate; they create a finale.
The Kulfi Falooda is a dreamy ode to nostalgia — creamy, nutty, and beautifully layered with vermicelli and rose syrup. Then, the Not-So-Gujju Chocolate Mousse steals the show, merging cocoa decadence with Indian flair. It’s light yet indulgent, a fitting reflection of the restaurant’s balance between east and west.
Finally, as the evening winds down, the Irani Karak Chai arrives — strong, spiced, and soulful. It’s more than a drink; it’s a comforting reminder that good meals, like good memories, are meant to linger.
Service with Soul
The staff at Khadak are the unsung heroes of the experience. Attentive without being intrusive, they exude passion and pride in every interaction. Their recommendations feel personal, their timing effortless — the kind of service that makes you feel at home, even in the heart of Dubai’s bustling dining scene.
