I had an amazing experience at Al Ustad Special Kebab. The kebabs were incredibly tender, juicy, and full of authentic flavor. The saffron rice was perfectly cooked, and the fresh bread and yogurt complemented the meal beautifully. The atmosphere is unique and full of character, making the whole dining experience feel special. The staff were friendly, attentive, and the service was quick even though the restaurant was busy. Definitely one of the best kebab places in Dubai, and I’ll be coming back again. Highly recommended!

I had an absolutely delightful experience at Al Usthad Special Kebab, and it truly lives up to its reputation as one of the most authentic kebab spots around.

The highlight, without a doubt, was the quality of the meat — incredibly flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. Each bite was a testament to how well they understand their craft. The softness and tenderness of both the chicken and beef were exceptional; the meat literally melted in the mouth, which is something not every place gets right.

I ordered their kebab platter, a mix of chicken and beef, and it was beautifully done — generous portions, perfectly grilled, and served hot and fresh. The freshly cut vegetables on the side added a crisp, refreshing balance to the richness of the meat, making the entire meal feel complete and well thought-out.

One thing I truly appreciated was the mint tea — simple yet incredibly refreshing, and the perfect way to round off the meal.

What sets this place apart even more is the owner’s presence and attention to detail. You can genuinely feel the passion and care in the way everything is managed — from food quality to service — which adds a very personal touch to the overall experience.

I visited during the daytime, and it was pleasantly less crowded, allowing for a relaxed and comfortable dining experience. Many people rave about this place for its authentic flavors, consistently good food, and welcoming atmosphere, and I can confidently say it delivers on all fronts. 

If you’re looking for authentic, no-frills kebabs done right, this place is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended!

I visited this restaurant for the first time, and overall I had a great experience. The food quality was excellent. The kebabs were fresh, juicy, and full of flavor, and you could tell they were made with high-quality ingredients. The rice was perfectly cooked and aromatic, and it paired wonderfully with the grilled tomato, fresh salad, and yogurt. The stew was rich, flavorful, and well-cooked. One of my favorite parts of the meal was the crispy tahdig—golden, crunchy, and absolutely delicious.

The portions were generous and offered great value for the price. The staff were friendly, polite, and the service was quick. The restaurant itself was clean, comfortable, and had a pleasant atmosphere.

Overall, I was very satisfied with both the food and the service. I’ll definitely come back to try more dishes from the menu, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic, delicious Persian food. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

After hearing about this place for years, finally decided to go one evening.

Im not sure if its me but the spices on the kebabs werent they typical persian style kebabs ive had in the past - maybe they ingredients vary region to region.

Overall thought the experience was good and the food was excellent.

The food was fresh, clean, tasty, and nicely presented. The restaurant has a unique atmosphere and a lot of character, which makes the whole experience enjoyable and memorable.
The food was good and definitely worth trying, although personally, it wasn’t the best meal I’ve had in Dubai. Still, the atmosphere, hospitality, and overall experience make this place worth a visit.
A nice place to experience, especially if you’re looking for something with history and character. 👍🇦🇪
