Amazing food and service by Mr Ishtiaq.. We had lamb shinwari karahi - lamb was super fresh and the karahi gravy was out of this world.. Definetly a must try place!
Best afghani cuisine
Worth the money
Nice ambience
Fresh cooked
Visited this place for a second time yesterday and for sure it was worth it, the juicy tender fresh Lamb chips are undoubtedly the best Lamp Chops I have had till date. The freshness#tenderness#juiciness#Flavor#quantity in those chops😍 must say this place is worth visiting and will never let you down.
Also to mention the lovely and welcoming staff take a bow guys that was an excellent service one again.
To mention also in the earlier visit we also had the chicken gravy with the lamb fat WOW 😍 was just amazing. Keep up the great work guys.

Nice place good food !! But it has waiting line most of the time whenever I have visited might be as I have gone there mostly on weekends. Would recommend kabuli pulao with some starters !! Tried afghani naan with curry but the gravy was not enough so check before order about the portion!!
The best part about the restaurant is that food is not pre-prepared. It is freshly prepared after you place your order
Ordered the wakha platter, they say that it’s good for 2 but for a small eater like me it can serve 3-4 people.
Platter contains afghani pulao and a variety of barbecued meat and chicken. The lamb chops were succulent.
After your meal, a free qahwa is served which is essential after a heavy meal.
Wakha platter is highly recommended if you would like to taste a variety of their barbecued grill
Wrote a descriptive review of the restaurant and the food.
Enjoy,
Have a good time.

Heard from a friend about the Kabuli Pulao, and wanted to try it out for myself. It is actually the bomb. Amazing, Pulao and the braised lamb which comes with it.
The Pulao is the must have. Shenwari kadhai was decent. But the five stars for the Pulao, braised lamb and the grilled meat.
Service was very good, very attentive. Hygiene was good too.
It's a bit pricey, but if the food is that good why not pay a little extra.
Hands down greatest kpk restaurant in dubai. Fairly pricey but worth it. Kabuli pulao is da bomb
Do not overlook this restaurant in Barsha . Looking for some authentic Afghani food , this place is for you . This is my second time here and I love the food . The portions are so big you would need a doggy bag. The meat is freshly cooked and flavoursome - absolutely delicious. Staff are very friendly.
One of the best Afghan food in Dubai.
It's better to call, reserve a table and order food as food serving takes time.

They serve lovely food. Karahi is amazing. Service is not top notch and waiting time is longer. However taste is authentic
Amazing taste delicious food ♥️♥️
Fresh meat cooked to perfection serves with fragrant and nicely flavoured rice.
We have been following this place for quite sometime. And finally visited this place..
We tried shinwari style mutton karahi.. amazingly made karahi style mutton.. great taste and freshly made..
On our friends recommendation , we tried this restaurant And it was the best decision. This place serves freshly cooked food with delicious ingredients. Their mixed platter is die for .. consists of kabuli pulav which has rice thats perfectly cooked in spices and so aromatic and tasty, has different barbecued meat in it like lamp chops, chicken, tikka , kebabs and lamb.
The place was clean and staff was friendly.

Wakha is by far the best Pakistani restaurant in dubai. Zafrani kabab karhai, lamb karhai, pulao etc you name and they have it.
It never disappoints. It is highly recommended.
I like the taste. Specially mutton kardahi. Afghani palao 👌
Place is good & service is 👍
Once you tried, will go again 😊
It is a very good restaurant for lamb karhai. The roti is freshly cooked and the taste is extra ordinary amazing
I just loved it
Best restaurant for me personally in Dubai everytime I come back from England or anywhere else first place I run to , such homely and delicious food have a 5 year relationship with that. Been going there before I had a beard to a fully developed one . Thier food definitely helped . Best Karahi ever eaten , the pulao is delicious the kababs are juicy . Taken every single friend over there . And they went 3 days back to back . All different nationalities . Must try in Dubai won’t disappoint
Their service is always on point. Fast and courteous. The food is always amazing and fresh. Even when they are inundated with customers they never let their politeness diminish or service quality go down. Love that a lot of Dubai is now enjoying this lesser known part of my culture through this amazing joint. My favorite is chicken karahi.
This place has become my family’s go-to for special family occasions and this restaurant honestly never disappoints. 🙌
However, this time when we ordered 2 plates of kabuli plao amongst other items from Wakha for lunch, we were quite disappointed after seeing that the meat portion was quite off in the plao. They generally do give more rice than meat but this time it was way too disproportioned. Literally had 3 small bits of meat with loads of rice on my plate. Not sure why they felt stingy in giving at least the right proportion of meat & rice, if not more! Weren’t able to enjoy the plao properly.
The rest of the food was up to par though!
One of the Authentic places that serve very Authentic Afghan Cuisine, Nice music, Warm staff and awesome ambiance...that’s Wakha for you.
Last night, I came to your restaurant and I tried your shinwari karahi and mini platter for 2 persons. Your shinwari karahi was delicious and tempting.. 😋 and also your naan soft and yummy . I like your interior and nice decorated but specially I like trucks and rickshaws.. ☺️ All over was amazing
Awesome atmosphere, food was yummy and staff is very good specially Mr Muaiz I really appreciated. Thank you!
This is the first time to try an Afghani cousin, and it was a very pleasant experience. Liked their big meat and chicken platter, it has everything.
However the negative point was the service, it took them nearly 45mins to prepare our order as they cook it like after taking the order.
Really recommended a place for a new pleasant experience.
I was craving for Afghani food so we stopped at wakha for dinner on our way back home.
If you love Afghani cuisine you must pay a visit to this gem place.
Heard alot about the place so now was the time to try there scrumptious food.
I ordered:
Afghani mutton pulao, which was undoubtedly very delicious. Once you eat it you will indulge into having the afghan cuisine again and again. It was garnished with raisins and carrots.
Next we tried, beef Afghani boti which again surprise us with its Mouth watering taste. It was served with imli chutney, green chutney and fresh salad.
Best part is they give you raw vegetables and knife to make your own fresh salad.
In short wakha can completely satisfy your taste buds with its delicious food and warm hospitality.
Restaurant has a good sitting area, staff was very helpful. I am definitely visiting again and highly recommend this place! 5 ✨
So the Mrs and I went there with a friend today. Not that big a fan of kabuli pulao but loved it over there, the meat was extremely tender and the rice were cooked in a good yakhni. The kandhari Naan was so fresh and crispy that I could have that on its own.
I would highly recommend the place if you're into karhai and good Afghani food.

Based on the recommendation of a friend we decided to visit Wakha to try out authentic shinwari cuisine.
The place was very crowded and we waited a bit for us to be seated. Prior booking is recommended.
We ordered for the mixed platter which is a combination of the famous kabuli pulao and different kinds of kabab and tikka. We were two and so we checked if the mixed platter can be customised for two and with our choice of meat. The staff was very helpful and they accordingly made changes to our orders. The tikkas and the kebabs are made to order so it takes quite some time for the food to be placed in front of you.
The lamb tikka, chicken tikka, and the lamb chops tasted lovely and unique as they are cooked or charcoal grilled mostly in the meat’s fat and salt with no spices. We loved the lamb chops. But the highlight had to be the kabuli pulao which deserves a very special mention. The long grained basmati rice was cooked in a delightful broth and topped with carrots and raisins. A very tasty piece of lamb was buried under the rice which tasted remarkable. The portion size was pretty generous even for two people. Loved this place and it’s highly recommended for bigger groups so that different dishes can be tried out.
Really loved the ambiance and the staffs are well trained too ! Very welcoming... food quality is amazing especially the meat dishes ..we tried the kebabs and mixed grill which was perfectly cooked with adequate amount of spices.. had a great experience!
It's a restaurant that makes you cut your Salad by yourself lol
A small and well managed place crowded on weekend and as their slogan says they make everything fresh, it take atleast 40mins for your order to arrive so it's not recommended for quick eats.
the quality, quantity and taste are excellent but some people may find a bit pricey.
overall pretty good experience, recommended!!
It's a very busy place in terms of waiting for your table but to be honest it's worth waiting if you like Afghani and shinwari cuisines. Their shinwari food is charcoaled or cooked with salt only without any spices. Dumpukht is their speciality! We ordered Shinwari lamb karahi and as they claim they pick up the fresh lamb hanging on racks , cut and cook then and there. It was quite yumm.
Shinwari chicken tikka was also ordered by us and we loved it. No spices but salt.
In the end they served us complementary kehwa which was surprisingly tasty because m not a big fan of kehwa but after a sip i felt like finishing it.
Their staff is super friendly and cooperative.
Over all it was a good experience and we look forward to go again.
This is one of the best Shinwari places I have been to in Dubai. Since they weigh and cut the meat fresh for you, it takes time to get your food served, but it's worth the wait. Wait till the food arrives and the aroma and taste will leave you licking your fingers. Their quality is a bit conservative and you might have more bread/rice the the actual dish ;). highly recommended.
Best ever afghani taste in dubai. ❤❤❤
If you really like meat this is the place to visit. No masala or something just pure meat taste. Although its expensive comparatively but still 10/10
A authentic Pakistani food and a very warm welcome. We ordered a mixture of things lamb chops, chicken shish kebab ect.. everything was well-prepared and were all delicious with amazing flavour, super tasty. Charming atmosphere, service was excellent. Yes we'd go back. Not cheap, but good value considering they use excellent fresh quality meats and ingredients. Highly recommend!!!
another all time favt restaurant - famous for their afhgani and peshawri cuisine..
* mantu - u can never find such an amazig mantu in UAE
* afghani polao platter - is my all time favt
* chapli kebab - heaven
* lamb rosh - something different 3/5 too watery i would like the gravy to be a little thick.
* chicken handi - 5/5
* complimentry peshawri kehwa is love.
This is the best meal I have had in Dubai. I never knew shinwari cuisine was so flavorful until this meal. Everything tasted to perfect and the lamb meat was so well cooked that it fell off the bone
Meat heaven. The lamb chops and the kabuli pulao are absolutely delicious. Definitely call ahead and order atleast 30 minutes before you get there. Service is polite, portions are huge! The green tea after this heavy meal really hits the spot.
Amazing food!! Loved everything here no wonder why this place is always packed wish it was more spacious but that wont stop me going there. Service is awesome aswell. Like honestly there’s nothing here that is negative. One of the best restaurant in DUBAI. Must try it!!
This place is known for Afghan cuisine which is made fresh from your choice of cut meat.
So if it’s not your first time then order on phone 45 mins before your arrival time and you would get freshly cooked food. Or else, if it’s your first time then you might wAna go there and see the menu live and then order. Be prepared to wait for 30 mins atleast.
We tried veg mix which arrived quickly. The lamb karahi took time while we kept ourself busy munching the rogani roti.
Suggestion - Keep popular dishes ready as sometimes it’s not possible to place the order in advance and this much waiting time is too long.
Ambience is simple. Staff is courteous and manages the waiting queue quite well.
Amazing Afghan Cuisine! Traditional feel when you enter the restaurant!
Shanwari Mutton Kadai : Out of this world, cannot stop eating and the meat is well done ( fully tender).
Must say the pickles served before the meal is ecstatic.
Great staff, personalized attention.
Great going Wakha! Highly recommend...
Takes long time to prepare even If I called in advance and ordered what I need , have to wait 45 minutes. Food quality is very good and fresh and good portion . Always order sharing platter 100 aed . I came with my friend.
Best place for meat Lover !! Amazing BBQ.
Try Namkeen mutton Chops. Shinwari karhai Chapli kebab and Kabuli Pulao Heavenly taste. Must visit place
First of all, this is a no-nonsense place, you come in your tell them what you want(Mixed gill) and they tell you right away this takes 25 minutes (Quality takes time) I love it!
Service is very friendly with good suggestions but not trying to push anything in any way.The ambience is simple but its clean and neat what you need more, Great value for money and this is what will make me come back. Quality was very very good. We had many items and all was fresh, not over seasoned, cooked till perfection, nothing dry, Do not order take away unless you live next door. This food has to be eaten straight from the grill. Keep it up will be back again and bring some friends.
Passed by this restaurant many times and wondered why is it always soo crowded!
Finally got the chance to visit it! So much crowded again due to WC Cricket Match between Pakistan and Afganistan but luckily found the space in two minutes.
We ordered their kabab Platter and Shinwari Mutton.... love their kabab platter and Afghani Paulo. ... they served complimentary kehwa which tasted so good after the dinner...... Must Try Place.
Best place to hangout with family They have some good range of Pakistani cuisine. We had been here on a friends recommendation. Tried their warkha platter, vegetable karachi, chicken kabuli pulao and tandori rotis. Quantity was sufficient enough. Everything tasted excellent. Would definitely be going back.
The reviews don’t do this place justice! Amazing food. The chapli kebab is spot on. Chicken peshwari is amazing. Everything is very good. I recommend calling, booking a table and placing an order. Otherwise, you will be waiting 30 min + for your food. The wait time is acceptable as they do warn u! Most customers order beforehand!
Wonderful place! Food is out of the ordinary and gives an awesome dimension to Afghani food.
Meat is tender, and you can expect different cuts.
Not to be missed
One of the best meat restaurants in Dubai. Restaurant is a little bit small and always crowded which makes headache sometimes but it worths all the time!
The place is the best place to experiment Afghani cuisine . We ordered wakha platter for 2 and the quantity was for approx 4 people. They ensure every dish which comes to the table is cooked with love. The wait time is usually 20-30 min but it’s worth at the end. The waiter here are nice and their hospitality is superb. Visited 6th time so have to mention here.
The only thing I love is meat quality and taste. Awesome ......! Lamb chops is a must and rest of everything as well. Please book a table at dinner otherwise have to wait in a long line.
Experience Wakha Restaurant Is always the best and food here is fresh. You select your menu and they will cook right tat. Its not the ready food house.
They serve the best "Shinwari Lamb Tikka"
"Shinwari Karhai" "Chapal kabab" the best.. "Kabuli plao lamb"
Everytime i go there i get same quality food.
Its a must visit place for anyone who love Afghani Food
Ambiance - 5/5
Quality - 5/5
Quantity - 5/5
Price - 4/5
Had ordered in Beef Kabuli pulao. The portion was generous, especially the rice and salad, though there were only 2 small pieces of beef. Given the small size they should have given atleast 3 pieces. Also the split gram soup was complementing the pulao really well. One star less for the small piece of beef.
For a meat lover like me this place is heaven... It’s being an entire year having food from this place and finally decided to write a review as well.
I have almost everything from there menu but my favourite are Chapal Kebab, Chopan Kebab, Dum Pukht, Shinwari Lamb Karahi and Kabuli Kebab.
Looking forward for many more years to come to this wonderful food journey.
Very nice restaurant in the neighborhood. Good quality fresh meat. The shinwari boneless lamp
one of the best dishes and the Kabuli pulao and of course the warm freshly made afghani bread.
Excellent food and authentic shinwari taste, totally love it. I reckon to order half an hour before you visit so get the food right when you arrive instead of long waiting!!
Experience in Wakha is always best and fresh.
I have tried there butter chicken tikka
Shinwari kadai , Namkeen gosht
And there roti always give fresh n craving feel
Its always open for my late night hunger
Must visit place
A simple place full of character serving delicious afghani bread filled with minced meat (naane keema). Their wakha platter is generous in size, yet it was a bit too salty and the meat was rather dry. The lamb karahi was fragrant and well cooked.
We will definitely pay them another visit.
This has to be one of the best hidden or not so hidden any more gems of Dubai. This place is consistent and great every single time. Fresh meat, cooked to order, and very good service.
Two things i consistently order and hooked on although everytime i say i want to try something else: tikka and the special karahi. The latter is out of this world tender meat in a beautiful spicy broth. Mind you have to wait 45 min for the dish as its freshly done.
I haven't tried there delivery and not sure they will provide the same portions, condiments, and bread but will try soon and update reveiw.
Big thanks to the owners of this restaurant for keeping this place top notch.
One of the best restaurant in Al barsha ,
Food hot and freshly cooked plus meat juicy inside , rice perfectly cooked and big portion ,you guys deserved 5 star ,
Oye Khoshe....!!!
Badshah Khan ka Restaurant main Aaya.!!
Great authentic Shinwari food served here..
Outlet at Barsha is the best, coupled with good service and ambience.

#EatWithNaeem #myDubai
Had a heard a lot about this restaurant from a friend and as we were in the neighbourhood thought we would give it a go and boy was i pleasantly surprised. Very busy on a Thursday night and the food was amazing. The taste of the chapli kebabs was delicious and we also ordered shinwari boneless chicken karahi which was succulent and perfectly spiced and was surprised as to how much I enjoyed it
Only down side was the service which was very poor as the place was busy but I guess on busy nights they should have additional waiters. We ordered Afghani nan and they were ok although fresh off the drive but bit hard after a while but still nice.
To top it off we were given complimentary kawa (tea) which was a nice touch. I enjoyed so much that i requested a 2nd cup. Overall verdict I will certainly gling back regularly.
Not tried their delivery yet but am waiting for it to arrive. Will review delivery option later.
طعم اللحم والرز بيحننن كتير زاكي ازكى لحمه باكلها
الاكل ممتاز وخصوصا الرز واللحم والكباب انصح به بس للعوائل انصح بفرع الجميرا لان البرشاء زحمه وضيق.
من اروووووووع المطاعم التي زرتها فالبرشا بدبي .حيث الاكل طاااازج ولكن معهم مشكلة واحده فقط هي تأخير طهي طعام بسبب أنه يقدم فرش او طازج. من وجهة نظري أتمني لما تزورهم تتطلب العيش مع جريل مشكل طازج ولن تخيب أبدا. وجهة نظري
من افضل المطاعم، طازج و لذيذ جداااااا
وساخن
افضل مطعم أفغاني في دبي واسعارهم جدا مناسبه
ماشاء الله الاكل ممتاز وطازه يتم طبخه في الحال رائع جدا
