This is an experience 😜 not just a lunch or a dinner!! Best kebab ever and the baklava was stunning!! Very quick and kind service. Take your time to look around, the photos the old mobiles, all the memories of a life time in the walls. There is a small "family area" and the menu is very clear The atmosphere is amazing 😍😍
We came here after hearing about the reviews online and in videos, this place is very hyped up on the social media platform and it does live up to the hype however seating for families could do with some renovation. We couldn’t get seated at the main seating area and got told to go further on where there was some seating for us. This place didn’t look to pleasing not like the main seating area. A guess my experience hindered by the location. The menu is simple which I like, they specialise is kebabs and that’s what they do, the service was good and staff friendly and polite. The portion sizes was great and plenty enough for our family to enjoy. The favours was good and they had different flavours of kebabs. The walls was filled with pictures of famous celebrities who have visited the place and they had hundreds of them which was nice and can value the years this company have been operational. If you like kebabs then this is a really good place to eat credit to the team. Best to come early if you want the main seating area.
A must-try when visiting Dubai! We visited this restaurant after walking around Al Souk district. The staff were a little lost, but we didn't have much trouble placing an order. The food was really good, and we ordered another portion. We also met the very friendly owner who had a larger-than-life character, very welcoming and very friendly. I would return here when I come back to Dubai in the near future!
Habibi welcome to Dubai’s oldest and best Iranian Kebab’s restaurant. Amazing food, the rustic vibe, friendly staff and Masha Allah the humble and friendly Body Builder Owner. A must visit place filled with amazing photos of famous global celebrities whom have visited them. 🙏
