Dropped in for a quick dinner. Be warned that the ambience is not spectacular and I wouldn't recommend this place for a date. However, their food is absolutely delicious and represents excellent value for money. Whats great is that every dish is generously served with soup, salad, yoghurt, etc. by default. Would highly recommend for take out and delivery (or dine in if you really dont care about the ambience).
Delicious food and healthy food. Must try don't look at place and sitting arrangements just order and wait for your yummy food. It's a Irani trendy food.
One of my favourite holes in the wall. This is a no frills eatery, thats serves some of the tastiest food I have had. Its very very good and its sparkling clean. Staff r friendly and helpful. Highly recommend the fasinjan and grills.
We went sultan restaurant in Satwa, we take their sultani kababs with rice and hamoor fish . The hamoor fish was very fresh and tasty.

When it comes to food, I like to be a bit adventurous and try new places to eat !! Not very often are you totally blown away by your discoveries and Al Shafaa is one such place. My ever growing love for Persian cuisine especially the kebabs has les me to try out quite a few restaurants in Dubai. In general, I find Hatam, Pars, Iran Zamin, noon o kebab quite decent and have never had a really bad experience. I have a little more time for Special Kebab in Satwa and totally love Ostadi in Bur Dubai. Al Shafaa is in the league of Ostadi !! Its a small outlet with few tables and with a very basic decor - In fact if you want to go for ambience I would suggest that you stay away from Al Shafaa. But if your criteria is food and only food, I insist that you give this place a shot and I am saying this with full confidence only after trying the koubideh, yogurt kebabs and chicken kebab with bone. The owner Mr Ali is a fine gentleman manning the front desk. I mentioned that we just want to try the kebabs and was recommended the mixed kebabs with bread. They served a soup, salad (two types) and yogurt to start things off and quickly followed it up with a small plate of hummus and iranian bread. The soup was thick and very comforting and as soon as it was finished, the kebab platter was out. All three kebabs were chunky, FANTASTIC and really well marinated. I was thinking to myself why nobody talks about this place !! I had asked for some green chilly and chopped onions on the side and the chunks of meat with bread went really well with the crunch of the salad with green chillies. Brilliant stuff !! I topped the meal up with a cup of tea with dates. Really wanted to try the speciality ice cream or falooda but had no space left in the tummy. I silently promised myself to try it the next time and there would definitely be a Next time and a few times after that !! Mark my words - Give this 27 years old, small cozy hidden gem a shot and send me a thank you note later !!

OLD SCHOOL. This place is definitely for food lovers who appreciate the authenticity of the food rather than lightings and colour of the walls. The owner is always seen at the counter , kitchen and serving.
Food is very very authentic. Rice is extremely good quality. Kebabs, specially the mince, are exactly the way they should be. Portion is gigantic and green salads, soup with complementary sides will leave u lazy to leave once done.
Definitely recommended to Iranian kabab & stew lovers. Stews all r really great, if you prefer chicken go to Fesenjaan (fesenjoon) which is a very popular dish in Iran & part of Iraq made from chicken-pomegranate paste-walnut & saffron (strongly recommended), if you like mutton choose ghormesabzi (mutton meat with green chopped herbs & beans) or gheyme bademjaan (mutton meat with fried eggplant in tomato gravy), & for fish lovers go to gheliye mahi stew (fried fish dipped into tamarind paste- chopped coriander & fenugreek leaves-garlic paste). Staff r so good & humble.

Almost hidden away at the far end of Satwa, al-Shafaa sits unassuming, delightfully old school – a small Iranian restaurant with a BIG menu and a BIGGER heart. By my count there are five Iranian restaurants in Satwa and this one, without a shred of a doubt, serves the BEST food. That it does so across such a wide spectrum of Iranian cuisine makes it even more impressive.
The complementary soup, Mast-o Khiyar (cucumber and yogurt rita) and Shirazi salad were all amazing – I would have happily paid for the first two. The kababs I tried, Tikka Masti Lamb and Chicken, were very good. The Koobideh (minced lamb kabab) was very, very good – Feri Kasif good. So was the Braised Lambs Neck. And then there is the fish. Some of the regulars I met there while having lunch were raving about the fish, claiming it is the best and all they eat when they come here.
And amazingly, with every main that you order you get a bowl of lovely stew (of your choice) as side – Bamieh (okra or ladies finger), Bademjan (aubergine, brinjal or eggplant, whichever you call it) or even Ghalieh (tamarind with fragrant green herbs). I have had the first two and they are nothing less than excellent. The Bamieh, which has a touch of chilli heat and more than a hint of fresh cilantro in its tomato sauce is easily the best I have had in Dubai. Truth, I must try it again soon because it may just be one of the best I’ve ever had.
This is great news for both vegetarians and pescatarians because in addition to the three or four different types of fish on offer, all deep fried in typical South Iranian style, all the stews are meatless.
The welcome you get as you enter by the genuinely friendly, Yazdi owner, Ali-Akbar Kayvanpour (say it all together) is as delicious and heart-warming as the food. It can last several minutes if you are a regular. Al-Shafaa is very much a restaurant of regulars. Every single person who came in while I was there was a regular. And Ali-Akbar knew each by name. His servers were proportionately friendly and service, while a little wham-bam, was literally fast food fast.
So there you have it – al-Shafaa, the best Iranian restaurant in Satwa…without a shred of a doubt. Bah Bah!

The restaurant has been serving Iranian food since 1991 AD, the place of the restaurant is small, but the food is very delicious and the prices are reasonable and accessible to everyone. It offers a variety of Iranian cuisine, served with the order: soup, salad, dates, robe (for the sake of generosity in eating) after eating, do not forget to take Refreshing Iranian yogurt 🥛🤤 . I liked the way the owner of the restaurant and the staff were friendly and helpful ❤. 👈 Available in the Talabat app, the place is too small, and it is better to take food with you home. Greetings to the owner of the restaurant and the staff.
