Had a late night snack with friends to pass time. I really loved the cocktail juice and the shawarma, even the person who was serving us was also really welcoming. We wanted meat shawarma too but it was out of stock that day. Probably will try later on.

With no doubt,this is the best Arabic Restaurant in Ajman. Good for families to dine in with all the variants of dishes across Arabic cuisine. We tried their broasted, pasta penne, hummus with shawarma topped. All the dishes were up-to the mark. I have to come back again to try their grills. Parking wont be a problem in the area.

The place is so good, food is clean and authentic, and i love it, i am a regular customer, but my criticism is the chicken shawarma, it has a funny taste and smell, as if the chicken is not clean, but other than that its all 10/10

I have been to BAB Al Hara 3-4 times now . Our latest visit being 2 days ago. This review is a cumulative score of all my visits to Bab Al Hara

Food : 5/5

excellent variety of Arabia foods and grills. We ordered the BAB Al Hara 1 kg mix grill and lentil soup. Over all great taste and good selection of kababs , meat Tikka, chicken Shish tawuk , chops, Arais etc. Good quantity if you are a group of 3-5 ppl. We also ordered some mango juice which was alrite.

Service : 3/5

Service at this place is just about ok. I visited recently for dinner during Eid vacations and this place was packed. Absolutely packed! There was not single table available. I asked the manager how long we would have to wait and that I would like to write my name in que for a table. He said to me that there is no system or que to getting a table and that I would I have to look for a table myself. In short he suggested I should keep looking at tables which one is going to be empty soon and jump on it the moment people are ready to stand up. Really didn’t appreciate his way of talking and “do not care if you eat or leave kind of attitude”. Guys we are coming to your restaurant as customers and I for one had travelled all the way from Dubai. The least u can do is help ur customers find a table ,and be polite . Luckily for us , we managed to find a table in 10-15 mins on our own with help from anyone at the restaurant .The rating of 3 given above is from my experience in the past with them , however purely for this visit , I would score them a 1/5

Ambience : 3/5

Usual Arabic decor , simple design and over all neat and clean on most occasions.

I would highly recommend Arabic food lovers to visit this place however strongly feel that public holidays should be best avoided. They are not very high on service but their food is excellent on most occasions.

Was in the area and decided to try this place, and was surprised by the quality of food, very good in taste, Lenti Soup just one of the best i habe tried, the Mix grill was spot on.
Couple of reservations:
When ordering the server was not quite helpful at all, and never told us that Grill Plater that we order included salad and some Mezes and that we do not need ro order more. Service really needs to improve and in addition they should have access to back garden directly from restaurant as they use the main door and have to walk all around the restaurant to get to back Garden.

A Great place for some authentic kababs, aryees and grills. Hummus with meat and pine nuts was a super starter. The lamb kebabs were very succulent. They serve the main grills with garlic sauce, hummus and olives. Its good to see a restaurant serving a wholesome plate of salad along with their grills. 

Service was good, staff is very attentive. Although their cleaning person came a little late to get our table ready. 
Cosy ambience with decent outdoor seating. Although the weathers a little too cold right now.

Recently tried out this place. The lentil soup is simple and nice, the seafood soup is just average, the flavours were too subtle and wouldnt recommend it. The Mansaf was the highlight here. Tired the Turkish coffee and mahalabiya as well. The service is quick and more friendly than the near by Amour restaurant. Heard the shawaramas are great as well. Highly recommended if you are nearby and looking for some good decently priced Arabic food.

Parking is plenty as well.

If you are looking for an authentic Syrian cuisine in Ajman, this is the right place. I was introduced to this place by a Syrian friend and seriously the place is really serving up to the expectations. I have tried most of their menu items, here is the summary:

For a small meal, I always go for a Sheesh Tawouk Sandwich but if we are a group a platter is the best thing to go for.

Pro tip: Their Tamarind Juice is amazing. Trust me on this one and order straight away.

Since they have revamped the place, the ambiance is awesome now. You can enjoy the live kitchen plus the staff is friendly.

Heard a lot about this place in Ajman, so we went there yesterday for a family dinner.
The restaurant is quite big & spacious with plenty of sitting inside & a small sitting area outside too.
We ordered their mixed grilled platter .. which was 120 aed for 1 kg of mixed grills... it was served with Hummus, bread & mutabal...
we also ordered the Chicken Fahita .. it was a type of sizzler .. shredded chicken along with bell peppers.
Our favorite Baba Ghanoush...
Even chicken pasta .. ..
Everything thing was delicious & the servings were also shareable.
How can we end a dinner in some arabic restaurant without Kunafa followed by a black tea ... we had both ...cream kunafa ... it was warm & yummy.

To sum it up .. a recommendable place .. nice service & pocket friendly.

The best shawarma I've experienced in the vicinity. Personally, I liked the chicken shawarma more than the Meat Shawarma. Their Shish Tawook sandwich is also amazing. Sometimes they take a bit longer to serve your order. Ambiance is nice and they are up till late night to satisfy your late night cravings :D

This restaurant truly lives up to any gastronomes expectation. While the aroma may lure one into their lush interiors, a quick-bite in their open-air seating is also an enticing option. While the atmosphere set is a pleasant and welcoming one inside, availability of parking may be at odds (at times) outside.

Enter 'The Neighborhood's Gate (Bab al Hara)' and relish the Arabic Eastern Mediterranean cuisine.

It was a real experience with lots of different Kebabs and dips. We had an office party over here last week. Mix kebabs are very tasty. The ambiance and service are awesome. The food quality and quantity are very well-balanced for the money you spend. It is a real recommended place for the Arabic cuisine.

food and ambiance , great. Shawarma yummy. The soups are great, the lentil soup had really strong flavour of some meat broth in it , i guess beef broth (caution for vegetarians,i m not one) but it was too strong for my taste. the Chicken cream soup was so delicious. Everything was great, best place to try arabic food. Only one complaint, service is too slow,everytime.

This is the place to visit for Arabic shawarmas. I frequent this place more for quick snack shawarma. Grilled chicken is also really tasty & worth it. Started visiting when they were in a small shop & they have now grown & moved to bigger space with more seating. Prices are reasonable & parking can sometimes be an issue. Recommend this place for their Shawarma.

i have to say,when i first moved to ajman, this was the first restaurant i went to and the food was excellent.2 years later and a change of location later ,the standard of this place has come down.It's still good but it's nowhere near the old standard and the time it takes for the food to arrive is unacceptable.On one occasion,me and my family had to wait 2 hours for just 1 kilo grilled chicken.this place was amazing,but i'm sorry to say,it isn't anymore.

Love this place. Has authentic Arabic food and their starters are the right portion and have that home made taste. Their shawarma is a hit but at most times it sells out faster than anything on the menu. Great for dine in, take out and delivery. I love their mixed grills which I highly recommend. Their fatoosh salad is one of the best that I have had in Ajman. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

On a random visit to Ajman with my hubby darling we saw this place... and immediately
Our love for Arabic food sparks and we decided to try this place.
We were in a mood of some thing light so we went for the fatoush with grilled Hamour fillet and Humous.
Humous was good and fatoush was fresh n crunchy the way i want it to be. The fish took a little extra time to come but it was worth waiting for... marinated and cooked to perfection. It was rich in flavor and taste great but the serving was small as compare to the serving size of similar kind of places.
Last but not the least was the Sulemani tea that completes our meal.
Overall a very good experience and definitely going to try some other stuff with our friends n family.
A must try for Arabic food lovers.... heard about their shawarma so my next visit is done.

We travelled from Dubai to Ajman just to try their shawarma's. The location for this place on Google maps was wrong as it is the old location. The new one is further ahead of the old one. We dined in and service was prompt. We ordered a round of chicken shawarma's followed by my friends trying the meat shawarma's. We also ordered the humus Beiruti and the Arabic shawarma. The food tastes good and fresh but there was nothing special about the shawarma. The new location has a large seating area both inside and outside with good ambience. However, my friend who had the meat shawarma has a small piece of rubber which came from the gloves of the person who made it. We raised the issue to the manager and sorted things out.

Go here for the shawarmas as they truly stand out. They do it in the thin bread and then crispy fry it so people with the Lebanese shawarma liking don't enjoy it much. The BBQ was a hit and miss. Kababs were good but the chicken and meat were dry and too chewy. Again shawarmas are the reason to go here again

One of the best Arabic Restaurants I've visited in Ajman with its bright airy interiors, exquisite and authentic Arabic food comparable to a fine dining restaurant with quiet and efficient service by the staff - it checks all the boxes for a restaurant you'd like to visit over again. Over the last two times that I've visited here, I've tried the chicken shawarma (must try!), Mixed grill plate, Grilled chicken served with Arabic bread on the side all which were delicious and worth more its economical prices. If you go to Ajman, make this one of your must-visit restaurants.

Best Shawarma (may be) in town, menu is not so great but generally all items are very good. Most of the time we did shawarma take away but on few occasions we tried BBQ, it's mouthwatering. Staff attitude is very dry and they always refused to deliver though free home delivery is published everywhere.

All 6 of us decided to head to this joint for  lunch.  The chicken livers sauteed in coriander, lemon and I don't know what were delicious.  The shawarmas were great, had to order a couple more to go. The tabouleh spot on, just the right amount of lemon, oil.  The mutabbel was excellent.  Service was fine. Perhaps a little known place that should be better known.  160 dhs later to feed the whole hungry clan.  Well worth a visit.

Monthly friend reunion held here - recommended by a Palestinian friend who had visited with her family. Was a bit skeptical after reading the reviews on here, but everyone has a different experience based on various factors.
Our service was not as bad as some of the reviews below but wasn't the best service I've received. Place was not so crowded but all the waiters huddle in one corner and no matter what you do it seems impossible to get their attention. One of the filipina's walked by me but failed to hear me say excuse me 3 times as she did - selective hearing maybe?
We ordered:
Fattah with meat - first time to try this dish and it was very yummy!
Chicken Shawarma Arabic - average
Mix Grill Bab Al Harra - average
Tabouleh - didn't try
The bread they serve along with it is cold, and when asked for warm bread the same one came back.
