THE *BEST* SHAWARMA IN DUBAI!!!
I very recently went to Al Safadi Restaurant and had ordered their Chicken Shawarma as well as the Meat Shawarma. The Khubz used for the Shawarma was soft and they had generously spread the garlic paste. The garlic paste was just perfect! Both the Chicken and the Meat were tender and had perfect flavour. I had also bought their Manakeesh and it was good.
I would definitely recommend Safadi! A must visit I'd say..
Wanted to visit Safadi since before the lockdown started and finally got a chance. Ordered mixed grill, meat grill and arayess kafta. Food served was hot. Mixed grill had meat, shish tawouk and kafta - all were cooked perfectly. Arayess had ample amount of filling. Mixed grill was good too. Buns served were fresh.
Kitchen closes at 12:15 am so make sure you go before that.
My favourite shawarma place
Long wait for the food but it tasted great. Love the shish tawouk sandwich, vermicili rice with kebab and shawermas.
Meat was fresh they had yummy fattoush and delicious Arabic sweet.
Food from @alsafadirestaurants for one of those days where you just need comfort food to make you happy.. during this covid times.. the packing is so hygienic ..love the grilled halloumi cheese, humous/galic paste is a staple and of course the grills is so juicy and seasoned to a “T”... definitely a must try for lebasese food lovers ❤️
A good variety of Lebanese menu. Moderately friendly staff (they have this habit.of standing in a corner and chatting with each other in front of guests) and a good choice of dishes that you would expect in a middle eastern restaurant. Don't miss their Moroccon tea at the end. And of course have some space for their trademark #kunafah. Vegetarians also would enjoy this place.
My go-to place for Lebanese food since moving to Dubai. Walking distance from home, this place has been my certain replacement for Lebanese Flower Restaurant in Abu Dhabi. Tried the lamb chops, grilled sea food, the platters , salads, absolutely lipsmacking. Strangely enough, the falafel and shawarmas aren't that great. But overall a good experience in all ways.
Best Lebanese cuisine in the UAE. Feels like eating in Lebanon. Fantastic taste and amazing taste. Highly recommend this place.
A great place for your lebanese cravings .mix grills & the Grilled chicken served with garlic ,fries,olives & khubz .
Special mention to the Fatteh(had it for the first time ,yum)
Well a cheat -- ordering from the app gives 15%off 😜
Too busy hogging to click pix 🤷♀️

The food quality is out of question as it is one of the best Lebanese restaurants in UAE
However I think the portions are quiet small and should be reconsidered
Major price difference between restaurant and Zomato. Better to order directly from them.
One of the few good lebanese restaurants
I ordered
Mix kebab grill
Lamb manakesh
Lamb sajouk with pomegranate sauce
BBQ wings
I am a fan of Lebanese food and this place serves it best.
This place always mesmerizes me. I have memories with several Al Safadi outlets and this one located on SZR in Trade Center area just before Dusit is no less! We went here with friends who were visiting us from India and they had a great impression 😊 the seating was huge similar to other outlets - inside and outside. We ordered the Lentil Soup which was very delicious and creamy. The hot Arabic breads kept coming 😋 The Hummus Beiruti, Mouhammara, Fattoush, Spiced Potatoes, and Grilled Halloumi made up for an awesome mezzeh platter for us! The service was a bit loose and could have been more attentive.
Overall experience was surely very nice as expected. A little more improvements and this place is a hit!
This is my go-to place for Arabic food whenever I'm in Dubai. I'm a regular at the Deira outlet. But since I was in Dubai Mall with guests from the States, I decided to take them there. We were all very happy with all the food that we ordered. Since it was very busy it took them time. But since we were engrossed in our conversations so we didn't mind it. What I absolutely love about this place is their hot oven fresh breads. I was surprised to see them shrink drastically! Their grilled fish is not to be missed! I enjoy selecting my own fish and getting it grilled to perfection.
The only thing that disappointed us was that our favorite chicken liver wasn't available. But it's ok since I love the food here and I will definitely be back for it.

- Food is really delicious. They have amazing kebbe nayye. I will surely go again and again. Very fulfilling
- Service was good. Friendly and quick
- Music: plz put the lebanese oldies and not ragheb aleme and wedding songs. Lebanon has amazing oldies (george wassouf oldies, fayrouz, fareed l atrash...)
You guys never disappoint the delivery was perfect and as if eating just out of the oven! Kudos to your team! Food taste on every item felt so fresh! I am a repeat customer for sure
One of my favourite places to get grill their meat is so tender and the choice they offer is very impressive
If you are looking for great Arabian, middle eastern food this is the place to visit. Their fresh pita bread, hummus Beiruti, falafel, Shawarma and biryanis are perfect. Deserts are yummy too
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Went there with a friend for the first time. I stay very close to it yet never got a chance to experience this place which boasts about its Lebanese cuisine.
We were welcomed by very courteous lady and given a comfortable seat. To give us a taste of the arab world, they served us some olives and some pickled gherkin, which was an amazing touch. Anything complimentary is always welcome 😁.To start with We ordered hummus which came with unlimited warm bread, basically they serve u with so much warm bread that you can skip your main course. But we decided against it and ordered a chicken biryani and a chicken kebab platter. The biryani rice was so fragrant and so flavorful. The chicken in the biryani could have been a little bit more moist. The kebab platter came with two skewers of chicken, some French fries, pita bread and a garlic dip.... we even had a fresh orange juice which went well with our dinner.
All in all a great place with even better service... a must go if you want to experience some amazing Lebanese food.
First dinner in Dubai! Loved the bread and hummus. The juices were great too. The menu for vegetarians is fairly limitedbit we still enjoyed thoroughly.
Lunch on the weekend. Came in with a few friends ordered in for a shisha, falafel plate, moutabbal, homus, some kebabs and lahme Bajain. Found the kebab a bit salty, the service was good.
I visited this place once since this been recommended by a friend of mine. I like the hummus and the juicy chicken shawarma. All food was served hot which makes it more even better in taste and balance of the ingredient.
I love to visit this place again with group of friends.
Lebanese food is a comfort food for anyone who has called this country home for 19 years.
We had lunch at Al Safadi and ordered a meat shawarma platter and a plate of hummus with meat. And for drinks, we ordered a mango juice and a cocktail juice. 🍋🍓🍒 And all of this with the fresh khubz that they serve whenever they see the small basket empty.
The ambience is amazing there and usually, during lunch and dinner, it gets full.
The staff is quite friendly.
One word, amazing ❤️ I never felt so good after eating some good authentic middle eastern food. The courteous staff, the freshness of the food and the decent portion size all added up to making me feel amazed about this place. Keep it up guys 😄
A great family friendly restaurant and good for groups as well. The food was spectacular. The Kebabs were succulent and I really enjoyed the arayes, my favourite. The kibbeh too were hot and delicious. The staff is friendly, the interiors are comfortably lit, and as it is a family restaurant, its not for a quite night out.
Safadi serves the best tabouleh, and all in all the food is amazing. My only problem is that for the price the serving isn't enough, but I visit frequently in trade center and rigga and I never regretted coming there
Probably one of the best restaurants I ever been to.
The food is a work of art and the service is spot on.
Flawless service which was very friendly and welcoming. The food was tasty, creative and well balanced in flavour.
Highly recommended.
Always great to eat at Safadi. Small mistake in the order and they owned up to it and fixed it like professionals. Safadi is the best Restaurant in town
Who didn’t try @alsafadirestaurants yet! he must take himself right away to any of Alsafadi branches to try that yummiest food!
Delicious Arabic food served in a beautiful contemporary Levant side with modern ambiance.
The signature taste of @omarharbaly dishes has never changed since the first time 👨🏻🍳

.. who's doesn't know the Alsafadi yet in Dubai! he must take himself right away to any of Alsafadi branches to try out that delicious Arabic food served in a beautiful contemporary Levant side with modern ambiance.
The signature taste of Chef Omar dishes has never changed since the first time.
Always the best food and excellent service. Fresh delicious and consistent. Highly recommended you will never regret! Hummus Fattoush Falafel Shish Tawook.
Ordered Beiruti Hummus, Chicken Shawarma and Falafel plate.
The hummus was on point. It tasted really good. The bread was served hot which made the combo even better
However, the Shawarma was on a sour side. Too much od pickled stuff, i personally dint enjoy much.
Falafel was crispy and yummy!
The best part about the place is their ambience. Lovely location, very spacious and a good service🙏
I liked the location. Especially seating outside. Ordered for mix platter and hummus. They serve us hot buns freshly baked. Its so good with hummus and salad. Mix platter was normal taste.
One of my favorite restaurants in dubai. The food is fresh and delicious.They have the best hummus. The service is quick. Highly recommend Al Safadi.
One of the best Lebanese restaurants on Sheikh Zayed Road. U can get exactly same foods from their pic’s menu. Before hot summer comes in Dubai, I strongly recommend u to have a table outside with nice foods, staff and weather.
Occasionally order lunch, and also been to restaurant several times. Service is fast, and food is tasty. The freshness smell of the ingredients, always attract people in the office.
One of the good representatives of Lebanese cuisine in town!
My go to place for Arabic food.
Authentic flavors used
The element I love the most about this restaurant is that the food isn’t dry which is a common texture in Arabic food.
The chicken shawarma is very juicy perfect balance of chicken and sauce. Even the falafel sandwich shockingly wasn’t dry at all, they loaded the wrap with garlic paste and tahini.
My favorite dish here is the cheese sambousek, make sure to try a cheese stretch.
This is my Go to place , this restaurant is very close to my work place and has one of the best locations even for outdoor seating. I love dining here. My Fav :- Grilled Chicken kafta, hummus, grilled halloumi , baba ghanouj salad and Moroccan tea. Would highly recommend this place. A must visit !!
My husband suggested this place :) it was a great weather to dine outside.. loved their hummus with shawarma meat! Their bread was fresh! The guavava juice was yum! Their grilled meat was very tasty! Overall a wonderful dining experience
We went to Alsafadi Restaurant on sheikh sayed street. We order certain food that's was originally from the middle eastern origin.
The taste was very good and the atmosphere at the restaurant was great.
The service was very good as the service was very helpful and fast.
I would definitely go there again if I have a chance and for sure to recommend it for friend.
Very active resturant were hardly you need to wait for table despite of being so famous amazing grill food i tried the famous shish tawook humus beruity fattoush ..a bit expensive compaired to other labenese rest but fair price as per quality.. friendly staff super fast service & enjoyed the hot breads served unlimited
If you love Lebanese food Safadi will never disappoint you, food is always fresh though the price is bit on the higher side
I love their grills
A must visit
One of the best place to go for Arabic food, Great ambience, vast menu But the service is not good waiters tend to forget the orders, had this experience almost every time I've been there.

The BEST and truly authentic lebanese restaurant outside of Lebanon. So many restaurants in Dubai claim that they are authentic, but they don't even come close. Well, Safadi nailed it!!!! Yummy yummy yummy.. From the small details to the service and true hospitality, it is amazing. Highly recommend!
Lovely Lebanese food the kebabs were very nice with a nice flavor to it. The lemon and mint drink was very refreshing. What I love about the food is its mildly spiced and delicious.
With most established restaurants losing quality, in my opinion, to save costs, the consistency here since the many years I’ve made this my go to for good Lebanese food, hasn’t changed at all.
Brilliant service, attentive staff, great food and chill vibes.
Shoutout to M. Jawade for the service and recommendations.
A very nice and friendly place. They serve Sheesha as well which I personally dont like. But the food is amazing in this place. A great value for money
went for sheesha and dinner. Sheesha was smoky and the food was served hot. The staff was also polite and friendly and recommended what to eat. Worth a visit.
Best food in town. Never getting enough off enjoying eating here. Food is amazing and authentic , staff is always helpful and doing their best to make you feel comfortable. I love the way they play videos about how food is prepared. It shows how clean and tidy is the restaurant.
I am sure Al Safadi Restaurant is an influencer in the food industry.
Highly recommended*******
Visited this restaurant plenty of times. Food food, quick service, average cost.
I would highly recommend lentil soup, shawarma with chicken/beef and hummus and mixed grill. Food is always fresh, portions are quite decent as well, outdoor and indoor sitting. Very important to me - staff and restaurant in general are clean. Complimentary homemade white and brown bread ( served just from oven )Always nice to be back.
I usually visit this place whenever I come to dubai. This time I decided to add a review.
The place is very good if you want to enjoy lebanese food. However there’s food smell indoors so you need to directly change your clothes after leaving.. we ordered shawarma and they are excellent and the portion is good for one person. Also I ordered salmon and rice and meet and they were very delicious.
The staff are friendly.
Prices are good.
And finally it’s highly recommended
Arabic restaurant second to none. The best place to get your lamb chops and chicken liver with dibs al roman! Humous and salads are amazing. Whenever I eat here, I’d always say, keep ‘em coming!

One of the best Lebanese restaurant in Dubai with the cozy family atmosphere and amazing prices.
Fast delivery, friendly helpful staff, and of course the most delicious food in town.
Advise for everyone to visit. In love with a first bite.
Thank you for great services, the best food and hospitality
One of the old good lebanese resturants in dubai, nice outdoor winter shisha place, food is generally tasty, other than the grills they have many tasty dishes like fatta and others, nice fresh juices, seafood is also tasty here, very good efficient service, average indoor ambience, mainly indoor is a place to dine in and leave rather than chatering place
The best Lebanese restaurant in Dubai, great food and an amazing staff
We have tried the majority of their menu item and they were all pretty yummy
When I crave Lebanese food I crave Safadi
My review is only limited to the Manakesh they serve has been the most finest and cheesy I’ve ever had with the best quality.
Would always recommend the cheese manakesh which they serve till 1pm
The second one is of course the minced mutton manakesh!
Visited this beautiful place for office team lunch . We chose to sit outdoors as the weather was just perfect . Started off with some fattoush, hummus, falafel and some breads. The staff were very courteous . Service was quick , as we relished our starters for the mains we ordered saffron rice, stuffed lamb and mixed grill along with drinks banana milk , mango shake and orange juice . Hummus was excellent . Falafel was crispy and yum . The mix grill was simply superb . Perfectly spiced seekh kebab was soft and juicy, chicken kebab was delicious too, saffron rice was mild, but the best was the stuffed lamb , this was the flavorful rice cooked with lamb meat. It was succulent and delicious every morsel. Among the drinks Banana and milk was the best . Overall a delicious lunching in a beautiful ambience with a lovely service . This place deserves to be visited again and again .
Giving it 4*.for the food choice. Serving is disorganized and there is not much attention paid to the sequencing. Appetizers came after the main course!!!. The staff are not bad but seems like they are not trained well in what order the food needs to be served. With a bit of attention this restaurant could become even better. As I said the food is great..
I am satisfied with my experience at this restaurant. They have a huge selection of appetizers, and dishes. They are fast at serving food, however whatever is ready first, comes first. Its not unusual to get the main dish before appetizer and drink. However, the quality of food is great which makes this restaurant always busy. I would visit this restaurant again.
The dishes here are sublime, quality is through the roof. Loved the grilled meat which had a smokey flavor, the fattoush was fresh, dressing balanced and the cheese rolls were rocking.
I’ve visited both branches and has been consistent.
One of the best Lebanese restaurants. The grilled section is succulent and tasteful. Even the cold mezeh was one of the best I have tried. Especially the tabouleh, Fatoush and pine nuts humous.
Even the shisha quality is very good
