Restaurant Details and History
The establishment is known for its village-resort aesthetic and traditional offerings such as dal baati churma and laal maas.
No specific reason was provided for the closure, though the management issued a statement thanking patrons for allowing them to share a piece of India for several years. Since its launch in 2022 at Al Seef Old Heritage, the restaurant became a staple for the Indian expatriate community and tourists, maintaining a 4.7 rating on TripAdvisor and hosting popular events like Ramadan iftar buffets, which were priced at AED 129 earlier this year. The venue was frequently used for family dinners, birthdays, and wedding-related celebrations.
Its closure follows a broader trend in the area, including the shuttering of Tandoor Tina on September 8, 2026, amid shifting conditions in the regional food and beverage sector. Located at Al Seef Street along the Dubai Creek waterfront, the restaurant typically operated from 1:00 pm to 11:00 pm. Interested parties can contact the venue at +971 4 323 2425 or visit their website at chokhidhani.ae. As of now, there has been no official confirmation regarding a potential relocation or future pop-up events within the UAE.
