If your answer to the question craving kebabs and tikkas is ‘always’, then this is going be very interesting for you. We look at some places that tickle the taste buds of the inveterate meat-eater – whether one is visiting Dubai or is a resident of the place. Here are some of the best places for kebabs and tikkas in Dubai.
This is one of the highest recommended restaurants for kebabs in Dubai on websites such as Zomato and Tripadvisor. It’s supposed to be one of the oldest kebab restaurant with a simple menu, but the quality is excellent and consistent, say people who have eaten here. The personal touch of the owner who likes to mingle with guests and proximity to the Al Khalifa metro station and the old souq are other reasons people recommend the place.
There are at least three outlets of Sultan Baba Iskender: at Festival Blvd, on Academic City road but the top rated one is on Jumeirah Beach Road. This is a restaurant that people recommend as offering authentic Turkish food and quick, helpful staff who are happy to adjust for allergies. The restaurant is not far from the beach.
This restaurant is a part of the Hyatt Regency Dubai and is a better option for those looking more for a fine dining option than some quick, wholesome eats. While the prices are steeper than some others, the ambience is also more exclusive. Some guests recommended the place because of the live music and option of sitting in the balcony.
Again highly recommended on tripadvisor, this is a restaurant recommended for those who enjoy grilled meats and also has some good veg options. The friendly servers, a view of the Dubai skyline, terrace seating option and excellent food make this is a great family pick.
Located opposite Beach Park on Jumeira Road, the grilled fish is highly recommended by guests. The mixed grill which includes kebabs, shawarma, naan stuffed with meat, lamb chops and more also gets a thumbs up from guests. Free valet parking and good service are additional recommendations.
This is another hugely popular joint in Dubai, because of the great South Asian food, homely ambience and affordable prices. Dishes from various corners of India and even Pakistan are available at this place, which attracts clientele from all over the world. It isn’t just kebabs, Indians will be happy to get aloo parantha and even chai here!
If one is looking for a solid, no nonsense kebab meal, this is the place to head to, with buffet as well as ala carte options. The starters are excellent and so are the gravy dishes. Outdoor seating options and comfortable parking are other plus points.
This is another of the fine dining type options located in a Radisson Blu property at Creek Deira. The authentic Iranian restaurant also features great service; many guests referring to staff members by name. It also features live Iranian music which adds to the ambience.
