Best Dishes at Dubki
Fourteen standouts ranked, with prices and who each one suits — plus the three dishes not worth your money.
Order the Interesting Thing
There is no financial penalty for adventurous ordering at Dubki, and that changes how you should approach the card.
Eighteen of the fifty dishes cost exactly ₹545. The entire menu spans just ₹470, from ₹325 fries to the ₹795 paella. Choosing the Mushroom Xacutti Samosa Cone over a plate of nachos costs you ₹100 — less than the service charge on a two-person dinner.
So the usual logic of ordering safe to save money does not apply here. The dishes doing something genuinely unusual cost roughly the same as the ones that do not. Rankings below are editorial judgement based on the restaurant’s own menu card, recorded 11 September 2026.
The Six That Matter Most
Mushroom Xacutti Samosa Cone
Xacutti is a serious Goan masala of roasted coconut and dried red chillies, normally reserved for slow-cooked pork or chicken curry. Compressing it into a mushroom filling inside a cone samosa either works or collapses into a gimmick. Order it to find out which kind of kitchen this is.
₹545Vegetarian starterMutton Mandi
Yemeni slow-cooked mutton over rice that has absorbed the fat and spice. On a menu built from small plates this is the dish that anchors a table — order it early and build around it.
₹795Main, serves the tablePaella Seafood
Valencian saffron rice with mixed seafood, and the only dish on the card genuinely designed for sharing. The obvious order for anyone who came to a cliff above the Arabian Sea.
₹795Seafood mainJoojeh Kebab
Persian saffron chicken, marinated in saffron, yoghurt and lime before grilling. The saffron is the whole point and the reason to pick it over the Persian Kebab beside it at the same price.
₹545Chicken starterCream Cheese Dumplings
A dim sum skin dyed with blue pea flower, stuffed with chilli and cream cheese. The prettiest thing on the menu, and the cheapest dish worth ordering at ₹445.
₹445Vegetarian dim sumKathal Khurchan Kulcha
Jackfruit scraped and shredded until the texture reads like pulled meat, served with kulcha. The best-value substantial plate on the card, and the dish to put in front of a sceptical vegetarian.

Not a criticism of the kitchen, just of the value maths. French Fries at ₹325, Potato Wedges at ₹375 and Vegetarian Nachos at ₹445 are the least interesting way to spend money here. They are the same in every venue on the cliff, and for ₹80 more than the nachos you can have Corn Cheese Rissois or Cream Cheese Dumplings. On a menu where almost everything costs ₹545, ordering the ₹325 dish is not a saving worth making.
