As per my experience, it is the best suitable place for Chapli Kabab in Sharjah. Economical & Tasty. The only drawback is limited seating capacity and no add ons / sides available. I recommend this place.

It’s a very small cafeteria.

They serve Chapli kebabs with eggs and without eggs.

Very reasonably priced and there portion is quite satisfying. It’s located somewhere near Rotona hotel bridge.

The delivery is quick!! Enjoy them Pakistani chapati.

If you happen to pass by Sharjah, it’s a must try!!!
Don’t be too late as they usually run out of there Kababs very fast.

Recommended by a close friend. Absolutely worth the trip to Sharjah for these. Tried both kabab types but liked plain one more. Chutney is OK. But kababs are extremely good. Must try if you've been looking for a chapali kabab place.

Heard alot about these Chapali kababs. So finally decided to try them on my visit to Sharjah. No doubt the chappali kababs are very good. Properly cooked. Ordered a double downer for myself. Served smoking hot with a naan. Naan and chatni was average. However the chappali kabab was very good

Best chapli kababs in town. I drove all the way to sharjah for these and they were worth it. An old family recipe the is being handed down by the generations. You have to eat them hot and fresh for the best experience.

TLDR: Heaven. Must try if you don’t mind the location, timing and look of the place.

Long version: After 3 failed attempts at visiting this place, finally was able to get some kebabs.

It’s a small cafeteria which opens in the evenings and serves the best kebabs I have ever had in the UAE.

The location is in an alley without a paved road but do not be put off by this. The kebabs are the stuff of legends and I visited from another emirate, waited half a day for the place to open, then sat in my car inhaling the scrumptious cooking smells. Food was served piping hot and stayed hot for the drive back home which took more than 1.5 hours.

The portion is good for the price and you can fill yourself up with a few kebabs. Juicy, succulent, fresh, fragrant and just divine.

Have read about this place in Gulf News around 1 year back. Was reluctant to try this place initially. Went there around 1030 am and place wasnt ready. Went again after 3 months around 12 noon and the place was buzzing.. 
Ordered for 1 chapli kebab and nan. Oh, i regret for waiting for that long to try this place. Chalpi was made in front of me and it was simply out of the world.. nan was fresh and gave good taste to the meal.. do try out this place sometime soon. (chapli kebab is made from beef)

Heard good things about this place and finally was able to stop over for a takeaway.

I must say this is probably the only restaurant in the UAE with a two item menu.

We got the regular and the spicy versions of the Chapli Kabab and one of the Egg versions as well.

All three were fantastic, the meat soft and buttery and fried to perfection.

Sadly couldn't identify which one was the Egg version at all they all looked and tasted so similar.

One suggestion would be to add some fresh cut onions and lemon slices with each order to make it more tasty.

Great food, fast turnaround and fantastic prices. Also the place was squeaky clean very impressed.

What on earth have I missed so far !

Read one of the fb links and I decided to visit this place , as I entered this place it was heavily crowded and ordered for 2 Kinds of Chapali Kabab one with the chilli and other with chilli and egg . Ordered for Roti and chutney as well . It was served to me within 10 mins of time . The chapali has been the best beef chapali I have ever had so far !

A very small food outlet that serves a unique food Chaplin kebab with perfection. Simple menu to choose the kebab of your choice either with or without egg. You can watch your kebab being made on their kitchen which is extended towards outside near entrance. You will find lumps of sheep fat floating in the cooking oil which will also be served based on request. Kebabs are crispy on the outside is juicy and soft inside with lot of flavour oozing out while you take a hot bite of it. A very pocket friendly and must visit a for all fooddies.

We visited from Dubai just to get their famous Chaplis. Place is just ideal for takeout. I had to wait in the parking as the place is full of men falling in line.

We bought the chapli plain (5 aed) and with egg (6aed) - thats all they have on the menu.

The chaplis were awesome, juicy - theres a little mixture of mild chili, zest of lemon, sweetness and the meat is really tasty and juicy.

Im rating the chaplis here - 5! like the one you'd get in the villages - theres a homey feel. Ideal for the weather as well!

Had heard a lot about this place. So had to give it a try .

As mentioned in previous posts , they just make a Chapli Kebab, and outsource their roti and soda .

Chapli kebab was crispy on the outside , but an odd chewy inside ...

It is indeed a value for money place .

Service 5/5 .
Value for money 4.5/5
Food taste 3/5.

Will I be back ? . Yes , but will ask for it to be spicier and will try the egg version ...

Saw article about this restaurant in Gulf news few months back and kept in my bucket list. While coming from Hatta tried to have the famous chapali kabab. It was easy to reach there through Google Map. They asked to park car at empty place. They have simple menu Chapali Kabab with egg and without egg.

Chapali Kabab with Egg: 3/5
Chapali Kabab without Egg: 4/5

Price: 5/5 (in fact very low)
Service: 5/5 as per the price what you are paying.

Most amazing Chapli kababs ever.
They are fairly clear, they make only and only Chapli kababs. Roti is outsourced, even water bottles/ soft drinks are bought in from the next door grocery store. Clearly a case of focussing on the core competency, and being the best in class in that.

Very good and polite service as well. Most people prefer to eat in their cars, they serve it well with trays, making it easier for you to sit and eat in your car. But we prefer sitting in having our chapli kababs.

I fell in love with Chapli kababs when I had visited karachi, some 8-9 years ago, and this is the next best thing, and definitely best in all of UAE.

This place serves one of the most authentic & delicious Chapli Kababs you can imagine...As soon as you enter the area, the sight of customers enjoying their Chapli Kababs in cars & the staff going back & forth to deliver orders is common, as there is no seating arrangment inside.

A small cafeteria that specialises only in Chapli Kababs, when in Sharjah, you must visit the place..

Menu is quite simple with two types of Chapli Kababs, one with egg & other plain, both are great to have in their own ways with Raita & Roti along...Prices are extremely cheap & Staff is friendly & attentive always...Much recommended to try!

Super simple menu, they serve 2 types of Chapli kebabs. One version has egg mixed with the meat and the other version is just meat. Served with a green youghurt chutney and tadoori rotis.

We tried the egg version first, the fragnant masals in the kebab could be smelt while the kebabs were on the way to our tables. Next we tried the plain version which was equally good. Decent taste, extremely pocket friendly and clean.

Seating could take a while, as people que up outside. However, once seated service is smooth and quick.

Now this is the kind of restaurants I love! They specialize in just 1 item served with utmost perfection. Their chapli kebabs are very authentic, rich in taste, bigger than you expect and cheap (affordable) as hell! They also make chapli kebab fused with eggs, haven't tried those yet. This is a STRONG recommendation for anyone missing the tasty chapli kebabs of Peshawar, although honestly I believe the best are served in Qalandarabad instead!

Where else can you get better value for money? I've lived in Sharjah for more than 15 years but didn't know about this place till the Gulf News article came up. And I finally tried it! It is indeed a unique place - which other restaurant serves only ONE item on their menu? :-D
I ordered take away for the family and everyone liked it a lot. 
The egg Chapli kabab adds something different to this all time favorite dish. 
Full recommended.

Not often we stumble upon such great kababs with low price but quality not played with.
A completely hidden jewel ...
Not suitable for families to sit inside and so we opted to sit in the car and eat.
One plate of kabab (aed 5) comes with lemon piece and yoghurt chutney plus additional 1 aed for roti.
They have options of anda kabab (kabab mixed with egg) and plain patty.
Chappal kebab originates from peshawar and it is like a desi patty made of beef/mutton/chicken with lots of onion and tomatoes plus spices.
The patty was very well mixed with spices and juicy on every bite.
Note: The phone number given on zomato is wrong.we reached this joint with the help of Mr. Gps..
I love to find eateries which has history and famous for its taste..if you are like me please do visit and try their kababs.

This is gold. Pure gold. The place is not fancy or much appealing from the outside. But they have this special kabab. It can be eaten alone. The roti is just a bonus. The squeezed lemon on top of the kabab gives it a great balance of flavour.

Pros:
Last night we visited this amazing gem of chapli kabab restaurant in sharjah. We ordered 5 chapli kabab without egg and another 5 with egg. Their chapli kabab was amazing in taste. Well all all agreed on 1 thing that the chapli kabab which was without egg has an authentic taste compare the one with egg. Regular chapli kabab price was aed 5 and with egg aed 6.

Kababs are big in size, rich in taste with all masala and spice and can be sufficient for 1 person if serving with roti.

Cons:
They have very little space and can accomanied hardly 10 to 12 people at a time and can not eat there with family as the space already full of bechelors.

You can not get roti from there as they only deal in chapli kabab so you need to grab rotis from another location which is near to the shop.

Can park car behind the unpavement sandy area and can have kabab there in car with family as well.

Our search for cheap eateries led us here, and I guess we stumbled upon the cheapest.

This tiny place can hardly seat 10 to 15 at a time (shared tables) and is fully packed at all times. And you may even have to wait for sometime to get seated. Dine in is not recommended for families.

They only have two items on the menu, Chapli kabab and roti. Just one kabab n roti (combo for AED 6)can fill a grown man easily, if u are crazy enough you can go for more. Both are served fresh on order along with raita.

Eventhought the food is cheap they don't compromise on taste or quality.

A small joint, no family seating, hardly 10-15 seating at a time. They are open from 11am-3pm and 7pm-12.am. Nothing to discuss about the menu because they just got one combo dish, Chapli kebab with rotti and raitha.
One of the best chapli kebab i would say, that too 6aed for the combo.
The chapli kebab- soft and juicy, right amount of spices, onion minced with the meat to perfection.

Small and a very inconspicuous hidden gem ! We landed here on a friday evening at 7.15 PM and it seemed deserted with no one around. we enquired and were informed that service will begin after the prayers. So we parked waiting for the same. Soon after prayers, people started trickling in and service began. They have only the Chapli kabab to offer ( with and w/o egg ) and choice of with roti or without and spicy or not so spicy. The kabab arrived and boy was it worth the wait!! It was melting and so tender and so well done. This is a must come place and it is best to have it there itself, hot and spicy. We finished and stepped out to pay and were amazed to find the place crowded. The best thing is that they prepare fresh and after you have placed the order. It is served with a slice of lemon and mint chutney. A word of caution- pl do not expect a swank place and be ready to share the table with others too. Best is to forget yourself and enjoy the kabab.......................

Amazing place. Mind blowing Kabab. Should have it sizzling hot at the venue to enjoy each bite that melts in your mouth.
In the past in 2006, we had a restaurant named “Lahore Restaurant” serving Chapali Kabab at Sharjah Clock Tower, used to remain open until late night serving all those night cabs and was an abode for all looking out for late night food. For reasons unknown it shut down and thereafter I tried chapali Kabab at various restaurants which claimed to be the best until I found this small joint “ Al Ashiyah Cafetaria”.
Highly recommend to visit this restaurant with your family and friends to enjoy their servings and hospitality.

There are kababs, and then there are Chappli Kababs from Al Ashiyah! One bite, and they take you on a tasty journey, echoing authentic Peshawari flavor, with just the right kick of spice. This humble joint has a very simple menu - spicy or non-spicy, and with or without egg - but whatever you pick, be prepared for juicy, yummy kababs, packed with flavor! 😋

I heard of this hidden gem the first time through a local newspaper and I knew right away that I had to try it.
It was difficult to find this particular cafeteria, but we did; only to find out it was closed until maghreb. We didnt mind waiting and so when it did open, we were the first in line. We got to watch them make chappli kebabs from scratch.
I must say for the price, they are the best chapli kebabs in town-tender and juicy.

Chapli kebab galore! This place serves one item and makes sure it is done right! The kebabs are made fresh, you can choose from mild, spicy and kebabs with an egg. An entire meal with roti, raita, salad and a huge kebab costs 7dhs. Parking a little difficult to find, my best bet would be to park behind the shop and walk there.

My friend recommended this place for their chapali kebabs so we went there during the day but it was closed and the ppl told us to come at 6-7 pm Maghreb time. So the next time it was night and we passed by this area so thought of stopping here and having the kebabs. It's delivery only. The kebabs were just yummm. It was the taste that we haven't had in Dubai. Kebabs were served with nan salad and raaita

A small hole in the wall that you can easily miss. This place has been here 25 years and over. They make the hugest chapli kebabs I have ever seen. You can look at the cook placing the kebabs on the huge skillet and salivate while you wait 😛. They do a deal for 7 dirhams kebab, tandoori roti and salad or 5 dirhams for kebab on its own. One should suffice but get 2 if you are hungry. Best eaten hot 👌.

It is one of the oldest cafeteria located in Sharjah and they serve only Chapli Kabab with roti and herbal Chutney just for 5 dirhams.

Chapli kabab is Delicious as it’s rubbed through mince of tomatoes, onions, coriander seeds, green chilies and red chilliest and wheat flour for binding.

They have only limited seating and it’s best to take away.

We would get another version with fried eggs folded into Chapli kabab by paying just 1 dhs extra .
