Super tasty, great portion size and fast service.While they also offer a lot of Turkish food, you need to go to the end of the menu if you’re really looking for Afghani dishes. Taste and pricing is great and the service is good too.Apart from what we ordered, I also tried the kebab, which was also nice.If you’re interested in trying afghani food, this place is for you.

I love their Afghani food. One of the best restaurants for me in Dubai. High-quality meat and chicken, with very yummy different types of rice. Whenever I have friends visiting Dubai I take them there. Nice food, good prices, and an authentic atmosphere. Highly recommended.We tried platter for four & the portion was good enough to serve 6 people. The meat was very tender and juicy. Every single bite was heavenlyThey also serve shisha which was perfect - so smooth and last hours.

Food is delicious but too bad they fool you with the money an example of this they bring salad on the table even though you have not ordered and charge them 14 dirham and for a small portion of fries they charge 13 Euro for, even in Europe for a small portion of fries you do not have to pay 13 Euro / 52 dirham for it . mix kabab costs 148 dirham on their menu and they charge 189 dirham for it. real money wolves 😓

This restau is a good restau for outdoor seating dine experience. Visit this place to hog on for some good non-veg food and simultaneously get a feel of Marina view. The best part, you can also hookah here! The staff is super fast in their service with no compromise on the taste of food. Chicken platter is what we had, and it surely didn’t disappoint any of us.

I ordered mixed fruits, avocado, strawberry, banana with ice cream. Ive got whipped cream and no avocado. This was a huge disappointment. Though last time, in Ramadan, I enjoyed the drinks more.

Very poor service tonight. We were seated in an area by the door, given the menu, then told we could only order pick up. Then a different waiter told us we could only order from the Turkish menu, not the Afghani portion of the menu. We were rushed out without even a thank you with a tied bag. When we arrived home, they had forgotten our drinks. We will not be back!

Review №19

It is close to the Marina Walk and boat place, the scenery is good and the price is good. Four people eat 190 dirhams. I guess its very cheap in marina. Al kabab is Afghan Turkish restaurant and staff are very friendly. If you dont like salty and greasy food, it will not be suitable, but it is a good place.But it is not good to waiter said to me ching cheng chong by jokes. I am korean live in dubai and customer... absolutely i was very sad about waiters speech.

Worst delivery response and food was messed up then what I ordered... When I called back, no one was taking responsibility and hanged up on me without even apologizing...Be careful when you order anything from them because call center persons are seating in Ajman and dont take order correctly for Marina area. 😡

I was so happy to eat here. Beautiful veiw of the marina and hearty, flavoursome food which is affordable. We tried both Turkish and Afghanistan menu offerings and was happy with both. The venue is not luxurious but its got good food in a place where everything is overpriced. I see alot of locals in this place also.

Pathetic food. Food was not fresh and its totally over priced. Location is good however there are many other quality restaurants around with better price and taste.I will never go back there and I will never recommend this place to anyone else. I hope management will improve food quality for upcoming customers.

Review №38

Im giving 1-star review because of the place only other than that food was not fresh, cold, overpriced and has no taste. I ordered Rice w/hammour fillet fry and I couldnt even eat half of it as it was cold, no taste and obviously not fresh. Mix Grill was so hard to chew, and came cold. I thought food will be served hot and fresh since we waited for more than 30 mins.Hope you guys pay much more attention with the quality of food you are serving. Not a good weekend today 😔

Pathetic food quality over and over again. Especially if compared to the prices they charge. Please close down your restaurant for a few days, rethink your strategy and launch again, if you cant improve, keep closed. Stop serving stale, unfresh food to your customers.

Ridiculous prices! The whole charcoal chicken that costs AED38 at the International City branch costs AED65 in Marina!! Who are you kidding?! Now the International City branch doesn’t deliver anymore to Marina and you have to pay almost twice the original price.

One of the best places to serve grills, I really like grills there I ordered mixed grill with rice and it was very tasty, good rice , good meat, well done, reasonable prices, fast service and friendly stuff, one of the best and tasty grills that I taste and good portion. For 1kg meal of mixed grill and large Pepsi it was 145 Derhams. It is similar to alkasis Branch but with better place, view and a little more price but it worth.

Be careful Kofta have small bones inside. I dont advice for eating in this restaurant. Expensive only because of the location and food test below normal. Because of the small bones inside Kofta I have issue now in my teeth. Again be careful. In marina there is better resurants than this one....
