The cheapest lunch deal in Sharjah at Taier Al Monal is AED 11.99: daal chawal with a shami kabab, raita and salad, and a small water. There are three combos in total and all of them come in under AED 16, each with a drink included.
These are the everyday end of the menu, priced for an ordinary weekday rather than an occasion. If you work near Bu Shaghara and want a proper cooked lunch rather than a sandwich, this is the part of the menu that matters.
All three combos
- AED 11.99: daal chawal with shami kabab, raita and salad, small water
- AED 12.99: kabab paratha roll, french fries, ketchup, raita and salad, gulab jamun, soft drink
- AED 15.99: biryani, raita and salad, gulab jamun, Pepsi
Which one is actually the best value
The AED 12.99 roll combo is the most generous of the three by component count. For one dirham more than the cheapest, you add french fries, ketchup and a gulab jamun, and the small water becomes a soft drink. It is the only one of the three with both a side and a dessert.
The AED 11.99 daal chawal is the one to order if you want the lowest number on the receipt, and it is still a full plate with a kabab on it. The AED 15.99 biryani combo is for when you specifically want biryani, which is the dish this kitchen is best known for.
How this compares to a buffet lunch
The buffet at Taier Al Monal runs in the evening, at AED 42 on weekdays and AED 65 at weekends. Sunday brunch is AED 49 for adults and AED 24 for children, from 11:00 to 16:00.
So a weekday lunch combo at AED 11.99 to AED 15.99 is roughly a third of the price of the evening buffet. You are trading unlimited variety for one properly cooked plate, which for a working lunch is usually the right trade.
Eating cheaply here without a deal
The full à la carte menu runs to twenty categories and eighty-four dishes, and plenty of it sits at the same price point as the combos. Appetizers start at AED 10. The difference is that a combo bundles the drink and the dessert, so it is usually the cheaper route to the same plate.
Where and when
Taier Al Monal is opposite Nesto Hypermarket in Bu Shaghara, Hay Al Qasimiah, Sharjah, open noon to midnight every day. The combos are available for dine-in and takeaway.
