I ordered Chicken biriyani. But luckily i got double damaka cockroach biriyani. I was excited to eat. Jokes apart
Such a irresponsible guy. When i reported the issue. The guy told he will bring new biriyani

Really good parsi food. Awesome Masala and normal tea had two. Great service and fast. Food was tasty, and we wanted to try everything, but portions size was goo, so couldn't eat more but worth it and really good pricing. Baby seat available and really big tv

Happened to visit this restaurant by chance at around midnight and was pleasantly surprised.

The service was pretty quick, food was excellent and was moderately priced. Try out their mix grill, paneer masala and dal tanka and I promise you won't be disappointed.

Will definitely visit this place again, this time to try out their parsi cuisine which I'm sure will be even better.

Ample of public parking spaces available around.

Try them out!

The food was good, we came in to try something new, and we got just that. Nice flavours. Kebabs to be honest were good but nothing unique, the parsi gravy was yumm and had a very unique and fresh taste to it. Wedding custard is also a must try here. The service was good, gave us some good and honest suggestions on the type of food and flavour.

Tried the Dhansak. Not the best I've had, but still quite good. The chicken cutlet was good too. It is a no frills eating house with attentive service.

I ordered aloo jeera and tawa parantha from noon with an expectations that it will be delicious in taste as per the pictures uploaded by restaurant. However it's opposite, Instead of aloo jeera they sent aloo with curry and tawa parantha is not paratha at all, it's deep oil fried poori.

It's not tasty at all and wastage of money. Not recommended to anyone to order food from kebab bistro.

I have attached pictures as well.

I enjoyed here seekh kebab and biryani which was fantastic and i feel very comportable here staff was so co-oprative ️️️
18 January 2022 14:21
Superb kebabs! Mutton biryani with a Parsi twist was also good, and perfect jamuns, with a great chef Bilal made our catered dinner perfect
11 December 2021 13:34
Amazing grills and barbecues, I have been there twice in a month Mutton kebab is a must have there, very juicy well done, very quick service, staff is nice and courteous. Best place for parsi food in Dubai.

Menu is good but the prices are very high for a mutton kheema per plate cost AED. 37.00 and equally the other items in menu. As per.too standard of restaurant
10 October 2020 4:08
As the name suggests it has nothing to do with Kabab much but its a parsi food joint where u get Parsi dishes, good option considering less no.of Parsi restaurants

Parsi cuisine is very much influenced by Iranian and some Indian styles of cooking.
I always wanted to have the 'bun maska', that I'd often heard off in Bollywood movies, as well as the 'dhansaak' and 'sali boti', and was drawn to this little cozy restaurant in the heart of Karama, when i heard that they are

known for their Parsi food. We visited on a Thursday evening, and to
our surprise, it wasn't packed at all. The staff are friendly and our server helped us in making our selection. They offer a varied selection of gravies, grills, sizzlers and vegetarian options.

We ordered:

*Chicken Malai Boti - comes in a sizzling dish, and the chicken is very tender and flavorful. It tastes even better when paired with mint
raita and tawa paratha.

*Chicken Sali Boti - A signature Parsi dish. Boneless chicken cooked in runny gravy. The gravy tastes very tangy, which i found to be very different
from the curry dishes served in the subcontinent that we are used to.

*Mutton Dhansaak - Another signature Parsi Dish. Pieces of Mutton served in lentil gravy and served with a side of basmati rice topped with caramalised
onions. This is probably the most popular Parsi dish and everyone on our table enjoyed it.

*Keema par edu - Our winner for the evening was the Keema. I was immediately drawn to it having seen the picture on the menu.
It's dry mutton mince topped with fried egg. The keema was

spiced perfectly and something i would surely recommend.

Bread options available are only Chapaati and Tawa Paratha, so in case you came hoping for naan or tandoori roti, these aren't served.

For dessert, we ordered the Custard and Gajar ka Halwa
. The Custard was quite similar to Creme Caramel and the serving size is good for 2-3 people. The Gajar ka Halwa was a little too sweet for my liking and the serving portion of the Halwa was quite large and can be easily shared.

Overall a restaurant i wouldn't mind coming to again or recommending to my friends.

PS. You can enjoy a 1+1 with the Entertainer App.

As the name suggests the place is very good for kebabs. We had tried behari kebabs and they were truly tender and melting in mouth. Equally tasty. The parsi dishes they serve totally will appeal only if you have the taste for it. It's a good experience overall and a must go for kebabs.

It's a small and cozy place in Karama. Prices are reasonable. One more good thing is the ample parking in front of the restaurant.
16 November 2019 11:28
A standalone Parsi restaurant in the middle of Karama, in walking distance from the post office.
Shifted here from Box Park, the restaurant used to be specializing in Kebabs in the begining. Under the proud new Parsi management now, they have added the typical Parsi items like Dhansak, Akuri, Patra ni Machhi- etc in the memu and now people are coming from distant places to experience their peerless homefood experiences.
They have a brilliant value for money Lunch buffet at 49 dhs with all the classics. Also the breakfast combos on friday mornings are no slouch either.
I went for a Breakfast option on this friday morning.
I found the restaurant designed nicely with pictures of eminent Parsi personalities on the walls, From the fields of Commerce, Science and Arts. In fact they have a funky offer- about recognising all the luminaries in the pictures and get your meal free! They have a basic minimalistic decor otherwise with comfortable furnitures and an open kitchen.

I had the Bombay Breakfast-
1. Brun maska- Karak buns with loads of butter.
2. Akuri bun- Scrambled eggs. Sausage with dry gravy, hash brown. The typical parsi flavour is there to taste. Large quantity.
3. Keema pav- large amount of keema with slightly roasted buns.
4. I rounded off with a karak chai in a typical Bombay style glass.
They also have an option of French toast.
Overall it was a very typical Bombay morning cafe style breakfast which brings forth waves of nostalgia.
Added to that is the personal touch and the good words of the Proprietor, backed with an excellent sincere service, and you have got a winner in your hands.
They are having great combos of Kebabs, Veg and Non veg meals too. Their speciality kebabs have made a name for themselves.
Specially the 49 dhs, all you can eat buffet of the Parsi favourites in one combined offer, seems too good to be true.
Much recommended.
15 November 2019 19:25
Anyone heard of parsi food? No? Then definitely you must try kebab bristo. It was my first time from kebab bristo i tasted parsi food. Very unique dine-in experience with friendly staffs and mouth watering food. And dont forget to try their dessert.

Have u ever tried Parsi cuisine? If not u have been missing out on something. We were in a mood to have some good Parsi food over the weekend, so we visited @kebab_bistro which is located in Karama & guess what they had a weekend lunch buffet with all the best Parsi dishes for just Dhs 49!
For starters they had, The Paatra Ni Machi - fish in a delicately flavoured green chutney. It was steamed to just the right level of flakiness & & served wrapped in banana leaf. This dish might not look appetizing, but don't go on the looks. It's friggin' tasty! The fish is literally a 'chhota packet bada dhamaka' & they also had the chicken Farcha- Parsi version of kfc, pieces of chicken marinated, crumbed in semolina and deep fried.
For the mains, they had The Mutton Dhansak served with caramelised brown rice, vegetable stew & The Parsi classic Sali Marghi, slow cooked chicken curry made from a secret recipe & perfect with the piping hot Chapatis which were served on the table.

How can one visit @kebab_bistro & not have kebabs? So we ordered for the chicken kebab (not included in the buffet) which was extremely juice & divine!
A must try is their Caramel Custard, A Parsi wedding favorite. I love the fact that it doesn’t smell or taste overtly eggy (a contradiction, since it is an egg custard) and this passed the test. It's rich, creamy, nutty with the right amount of sweet. Yum overload!

Overall, the food @kebab_bistro is flavorful & wholesome, like great home food with the right professional touch. All u need after this meal is a long nap.

Kebab Bistro is an Indian restaurant with Parsi Cuisine. It is owned by a loving couple and opened in Dubai since 2012. In my belief it is one of the few places that serves authentic Parsi cuisine in this region. Their food are served with a contemporary twist. The walls inside the restaurant are with photos of some of the most famous Parsi personalities as well as glimpses of this community in India.
Recently visited their store to have their Friday Breakfast Menu along with family. So, this specialized menu is only available on Fridays. So, if you are looking for a catch up with your friends then you can have these wonderful dishes along with a chat.
Our first order was Akuri Breakfast plate – consists of 2 eggs with their specialty flavours cooked till its runny, along with sausage, hash brown and Brun Pav Maska. The Hash Brown was ordered again separately because it was too good. Brun Pav Maska (Alert!) It has got a generous layer of Amul Butter between Crispy breads.
Second one was the Kheema Pav, fresh mutton mince cooked in tomato gravy along with bun toasted in butter (soft ones I say). Loved it.
Third one was their French Toast Plain – perfect for breakfast, cooked to my liking and amount of sugar on it was apt.
Ended with an awesome Masala Chai. Also had a Lemon Mint for Mr. Zayan, my son.
Their official delivery partners are Uber Eats, Zomato, Deliveroo and Talabaat.
Their servers were friendly, attentive and always served with a smile.
Their Opening hours:
Friday: 09am to 11pm
Saturday – Thursday: 11am to 11pm

Had a great time at @kebabbistro. Located in Karama famous for their kebabs and Parsi cuisine. Offering the lunch buffet on weekends where you can enjoy the famous Parsi delicacies.
This was my first time to try Parsi food and the experience was lovely. As parsi cuisine is popular West coast Indian cuisine that includes classic Kebabs that are delicately spiced and very flavorful.
The lunch buffet which cost Dhs 49 includes the most popular Parsi treat which includes.

Patri Ni Macchi.

Piece of white pomfret marinated with tender coconut and mint chutney wrapped in a banana leaf and steamed for perfect taste. The healthiest treat.

Sali Boti.

Boneless meat cooked in spicy, tangy sauce served with crispy vermicelli.

Dhansak.

The most famous Parsi dish meat cooked with lentils with secret Parsi spices served with caramelized basmati rice.

Chicken Farcha.

Simply loved this one. Chicken Spiced pieces deep fried coated with egg and bread crumbs.

Vegetable Stew.

Perfect for vegetarian. Variety of veggies cooked in special Parsi spices.

Tandoori Chicken.

As I couldn't resist and ordered the tandoori chicken which came of a sizzling tray and was simply fingerlicking but for me spice level was a little more. Generous quantity.

Ambiance

Loved the simple yet elegant interior gives you the feeling of home. The Owner was so lovely and hospitable she make sure to make the visit of each and every guest memorable and lovely by personally visiting on each table. Loved the simplicity and hospitality of this place.
A try must Parsi treat.

A restaurant that is consistent in quality. Genuine approach to what is served.
Very good people working there.
Never disappoints.
The non veg kebab platter is a winner.
And same for the desserts and authentic snacks.

I wanted to visit this quaint little place for its authentic Parsi fare. And it didn't dissapointed at all. Fantastic food. Great service. And a fab family vibe. Surrounded by legends who adorned the walls. We went there for breakfast and enjoyed the Akuri, the Brun Pav and Kheema. I saw my boys tucking into the French Toast quietly. Lovely experience.

"Among the Indian restaurants in Dubai, Kebab Bistro is the only restaurant in Karama that serves authentic Parsi cuisine since 2012. It is amongst the best restaurants in Dubai for freshly grilled Kebabs. Signature dishes include mix grill, fish Seekh Kebab, Dhansak, Patra ni macchi & Sali boti.
20 July 2019 9:25
Great parsi food! Do try their dhansaak, sali boti and behari kabab. Not too expensive either.especially if you are a Zomato Gold member.
11 July 2019 18:19
We ordered a home delivery thru Zomato and liked the food, hence decided to visit it.
I tried their weekend unlimited Lunch buffet for AED49 and my husband tried the keema with eggs and for dessert Ravo.
Buffet not a very big spread but nice variety. Fish baked in banana leaf, chicken, mutton, spinach, freshly made roti, rice and homemade custard.
Food is not spicy
Cozy restaurant
Decent decor
Staff polite
Child friendly
Parsi food
Must try restaurant for authentic parsi food.

Went here to try out their Iftar buffet which is priced at 39aed per person.

They have a range of Indian vegetarian and Non-vegetarian options.

You can break your fast with dates and other fruits and indulge in the Ramadan favourite- Rooh Afza, for drinks.

They have Appetizers- Papdi Chaat, Onion fritters/Pakora, Potato Baje/Pakora. I absolutely loved the Papdi Chaat, especially since it had Dahi making it a refreshing treat to have during Iftar.

For mains, the buffet includes Seekh Kebab, Bihari Chicken Boti, both being really perfectly spiced, loved the taste.
Ginger Chicken and Dal Makhani were the curries which you can have with chappati.
They also have a really well cooked Chicken Biriyani.
Everything was made in less oil, making it more healthier and you would not feel giddy after breaking the fast.

For desserts, they have Gulab Jamun, Fruit Custard and kheer.

Worth a meal for just 39aed, you can also book your Iftar gatherings here for about 30 people.

Kebab Bistro soulful, delicious & amazingly priced Parsi food. You’d love eating here.
Be it the weekend breakfast/brunch/ buffet or the Iftar during Ramadan priced at a very nominal 39/-AED.
This place has great food, the iftar buffet has everything from hot and cold snacks, too grills, roti and biryani, there’s desserts too.
What more can you ask for? !

Looking for a cozy, not so lavish Iftar? Head to Kebab Bistro for a comfortably priced and homely Iftar at only Aed 39 pp. Their buffet includes Kebabs, Mains, Salad, Bread, Biryani & Dessert.
My favorites were the Seekh Kebab, Ginger Chicken, Parantha & the Cutlet.

My favorite dish was Seekh Kebab which was served on a sizzling plate. The kebabs were spicy but soft at the same time.

I really liked all the dishes in the main course. The ginger chicken was very beautifully prepared and the portion size was also good.

Kebab Bistro is known for serving authentic Parsi cuisine and some delectable kebabs. Step into this quaint restaurant in Karama and you’ll find the walls adorned with black & white photographs of many famous Parsi personalities.
Parsi cuisine has always created a lot of intrigue and curiosity in me. First of all, I love the names of many of the dishes – Sali Boti, Dhansak, Farcha to name a few. To create more exuberance, Kebab Bistro has come up a few fusion dishes, where the authentic Parsi food has undergone an Italian makeover, Dhansak Arancini and Prawn Arancini are two of them.
We were also served two more starters – Russian Pattice and Patra ni Machi. Russian Pattice is similar to chicken cutlets but two-times the size, if not more. These were really hot and spicy but tender. Patra ni Machi translates to ‘fish on a plate’. There was a generous piece of the fish, but it had bones in it and I really don’t enjoy fish with bones when I’m dining out. I also felt that the marinade was too sweet for my liking.
Next, we were served an array of kebabs – Fish Seekh Kebab, Chicken Malai Boti and Mutton Seekh Kebab. The mutton kebabs were flavourful and delish; the chicken kebabs were slightly dry and hard, and the fish kebabs made me doubt if there was any fish in them.
We were also served Mutton Dhansak with caramelised basmati rice and salad. The curry was decent, but the dish as a whole was leaning more towards the sweeter side. This is my first time trying Dhansak, so I’m not sure if it’s meant to be this way.
Lastly, for dessert, I had Lagan nu Custard, a typical Parsi favourite and served at Parsi weddings. It’s kinda similar to the custard pudding that my mom makes but this lacked the punch.

A decent sized restaurant located in Karama. The dim lighting is fine when you are just dining and not when you click pictures. You have a large window, showing off the kitchen. The music is nice and light which perfectly compliments its laid back family style atmosphere.

It is run by a Parsi couple who decided to cater the parsi cuisine to the people of Dubai. They believe in having a simple menu and offering a homemade taste to the food served here.

We started off with a lemon mint drink which was refreshing.

Dhansak & Prawn Arancini: A modern take on every Parsi household’s staple dish; Dhansak. You’re served arancini balls (crispy rice balls) with a dollop of delicious dhansak on top or a prawn on top in the other version. These are bite sized portions which are like mini flavor bombs cause they’re so delicious!

Russian Pattice: A finger lickin pattice stuffed with chicken, mashed potatoes, onions and other spices. It’s a perfect snack option to eat by itself or as a side dish. The flavour hits close to home. Highly recommend trying this out.

Patra Ni Machi: This is a simple steamed cooked Pomfret in a banana leaf coated with mint and coconut chutney. The fish was cooked perfectly. We found it a little too sweet for our taste though. That being said it’s a pretty good option to try.

Fish Seekh Kebabs: Something definitely out of the box here. The fish was cooked and marinated perfectly. The flavours were all there its just that we didn’t like the texture of the fish as it felt a little rubbery.

Chicken Malai Boti: Yumm! This was creamy, aromatic and looked perfect! After a couple of bites we felt it was slightly over cooked but besides that we absolutely loved the taste!

Mutton Seekh Kebab: Juicy pieces of kebab on a sizzling platter served along with a mint dip. Our only complaint would be the raw onions, other than that it was just right with the flavors.

Dhansak: A traditional Parsi dish that is onion caramelized dal rice served along with mutton curry which has a similar flavor to the dal gosht what we are used to having at home. By the time we tried this dish, we were quite stuffed with all the kebabs and starters but still couldn’t help ourselves from taking two servings of the dhansak.

Lagan Nu Custard: This dessert deserves a standing ovation! It’s said to be a must at all Parsi Weddings and now we know why. It’s a mix of eggs and milk baked into this delicious dessert! If the other dishes above hasn’t tempted you to stop by here this one will surely keep you coming back here several rounds more.

The servers were warm and friendly. A little more speed would have been better but then that’s just us.

The pricing is reasonable and worth the value.

We shall be back for more of the Russian pattice and try other items.
