Chicken Karahi you will have much much better in KD for 18 to 20 dirhams
Here u pay 80 to 120 dirhams for tomato puree with uncooked chicken
No proper service
Waiter feels like partner
Cashier feels like Full OWNER
Customer should feel like having food for charity

Over priced. I believe they are imposing rent on customers. Food was average but price was tooo high you can have much better options what you spend.

The Roti was tasty and soft. The Shinwari Lamb and the Kebab pieces were fresh and super delicious.

Extremely rude and unprofessional, family went there ordered and waited for seating on the floor. They prayed magrib and the waiters had seated another family instead saying that they had come before us even though we were there before magrib and when trying to talk to them they said please wait for longer or sit somewhere else. We left and did not eat there.

Meat was not fresh at all you could smell bad meat…. They said it will takes 45 mins to cook the Karachi because they prepare everything fresh but you need fresh ingredients first then cook it fresh.

Wakha is our go-to restaurant if we have a big gathering, we want to eat a bit of a light and not so heavy food and when guests from outside of UAE want to eat something a bit of desi and arabic.

We love Wakha and go to eat there almost 3 times every month. Their service is amazing and the servers are kind, humble and take care of the customers well. Asif, Azad and Sheryar are the life-blood of Wakha and enhance our dining experience.

When you go to Wakha you have to eat either the Lamb or Chicken Shinwari Karahi. These 2 dishes are one of my favorite meals in the world. Their Lamb Chops are unbeatable becuase of the "mystery salt. " We tried even Five-Star restaurant Lamb chops but they still weren't as addicting as Wakha's Lamb chops.

The thing we love about Wakha is that they only use 4-5 ingredients in their food but still packs a punch to your taste buds making it a delightful experience.

Their Afghani chai at the end is a great way to wash your food down and also is really soothing to your body, the tea kind of relaxes your body and also offers for some great hangout with friends and family.

If you want something Afghani, go to Wakha they are the pioneers of amazing food, service and passion of cooking. Thank you Wakha Team for an amazing experience

Had afghani boti and i wasn’t disappointed the portion was huge and i only ordered half dozen tikkas which were more than enough the roti served was hot and went really well with the tikkas really loved it will surely visit again and great, friendly staff

Order Rosh and shinwari chicken, shinwari was oily but tastes good.

Rosh was super tasty

Over all 8/10

I recently visited Wakha and was blown away by the overall experience. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection, and the staff provided excellent service. The restaurant had a unique and creative interior, and the parking facility was convenient and secure. All of this came at a great price. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

They are very friendly, food was very good, we hope to know the secreet of your lovely ingredients

Authentic peshawari and Afghani cuisine. Amazing taste. Tried Kabuli pulao (lamb), chappal kabab and chicken shinwari karahi. All were amazing.

Excellant Taste with great quanity and a bit expensive though but comapre to the Taste, it's worth it. Lamb Chops, Shinwari Karahi and bbq with Bukhari Rice is a must try.

As usual most authentic Afghani food in Dubai. Delicious Chicken Karahi and amazing kabli pulao made our dinner.

The entire team of 22ARC Digital marketing solutions thanks to you.

Amazingly tasty food, portions are good sized, moderately priced, wide variety, helpful patient staff. Won't be my last visit

We are 7 people order shinwari karahi larlahi karahi daal roti cold drinks fresh food good ambience friendly staff easy access parking available overall good experience

Very disappointed to see the massive gravy in Shinwari lamb tika. It was full of grind tomato with giant meat pieces. Ideally tomatoes were not supposed to be in the form of gravy but fried with chilies and meat… must have cooked in animal fat

Great Afghan food and ambience. Food is made fresh and served hot, hence takes some time, it’s worth the wait. Excellent overall service. Must try.

Everything was beyond expectations.food is absolutely deliciously delicious.for sure I will come back

Worst service
They are so irresponsible, last night we had dinner at Wakha jumairah branch and we couldn’t eat properly and asked them to take away our food, and they gave us someone’s else leftover food, I came home and check next day my parcel I found something else and I called them to inform that the staff did this mistake they aren’t even feel sorry and said to me our BOSS said we did cleaning every night we clean all our kitchen this isn’t our mistake we gave parcels we don’t have anything in our kitchen we clean it.no apologies no service. Even I’m not there first time it’s been more than years I’m visiting them despite of it no customer service

Very good food at the higher end of reasonable price. Don’t be fooled with their 2-person dishes…it’s enough for 3 people for sure. Servers are pleasant and nice. Simple ambience. Mix platter and karai was tasty.

Very good restaurant with wide range of Afghani food, delicious, tasty, don't miss to visit once highly recommended

Great Pakistani resturant Pakistani taste of Peshawer u can find in this resturant. I recommend all non spicy lovers to have dinner from this lovely resturant. Very neat and tidy resturant fresh meat and taste. Only thing while coming to visit this resturant take Ample of time because they take long time to prepare food.

Food was good but would say service was bad because as we finished our food, they were literally behind us to leave. We just took 15-20 minutes more after food and then they actually chucked us out from the restaurant. They just stood there, kept telling us to leave as others were waiting for space. When we hurriedly ran out from there and stood outside we saw no one came at our table. It was humiliating. They just wanted us to leave because we were a big group. They charge well so they are expected to be patient with all there customers as they have taken a good price for the food and time customers spend there. Therefore a thumbs down for this restaurant.

We’d really bad experience at your restaurant. I wouldn’t recommend to anybody. We had gone with friends and family and we’d ordered few Pulao Platter and all the food had extra salt in them. When I complained the waiter said when you are here next time we will be more careful and inform us in advance that you would want less salt. This is not our first time here and I deserve better service. Bad experience ever! Zero star for last night.

Ambience: 5/5
Taste: 4/5
Service: 5/5
Value for Money: 2/5

Overall, it was a memorable dining experience with friends. The food is prepared with fresh meat and tastes good, although not something very different from budget friendly pakistani restaurants. The cost is a bit high and thats why my low rating on value for money.

Ordered the Shinwari chicken karahi and shinwari platter. Karahi tasted good but the kabuli rice was just ok and had more of a taste of lamb in it

We went late night.first of all, they were not in mood to serve us as we reached there almost 11.45 pm, think that they are not washing their dress.there is a bad smell while we enter inside. They did not offered their menu.they said all finish.we were forced to taste only their pulavu.

Amazing food! The most authentic place for afghani food! Its freshly cooked and serving portions are quite good compared to other places.

Quality food, fresh cut & freshly prepared
Cooked with Mild and natural flavours.
Ambiance is cozy & relaxing.
Slightly overpriced but worth it.
Cooking & serving time is long as freshly prepared from scratch, so have patience & enjoy fresh food.

Amazing foods and customer service.
Fantastic food delivery experience, keep it up Awais professional and friendly.
GOD bless you all.
All the best and success.

Wakha is an Afghani restaurant and quite famous for their good food which ranges from bbq's to kabuli pulao and what not.

And to finish food with kawah is beyond words.

Ambience is excellent from outside but the service inside was not as expected.bit expensive food.can try platter and kebabs once.avoid getting pulao which is average for the price charged.

Good place to experience Pakistani and Afghani cuisine. Decent dinning. Prices are in the mid range but good value for money. Delicious food!

It has other branches but this one highly recommended especially for their lamb roast, lamb chops and shinwari. The prices for these dishes are towards the higher side but worth it. I had been coming back to this place for the said dishes as you can't get enough of it. Must try!

What a kadai amazing taste and various kind of rotis.ambiance is amazing and kababs r tazztyy.lamb and mutton lovers pls visit.

We were so hungry and saw this restaurant and decided to give it a go. While reading the reviews in the restaurant, we decided to go with the mini platter as suggested from one of the reviewers. It was plenty for two of us. The minced meat skewer was fab. Chicken very tender. Part of the beef was a bit dry but all in all very good. The bread with meat was outstanding - crispy crust was just divine. You have to try that. Ambience was great and staff very friendly and attentive.

Whenever we are out of ideas what to eat we always go for Wakha. Their mixed grill platter is the one which we always order. Whether it’s a delivery or takeaway.
It’s a platter for 2 but believe me we 4 can eat nicely. 100 dhms and you don’t need to go for anything else. Literally your mouth will not stop.
Meat is very fresh and tender. It’s an authentic afghani restaurant. Must try.

For meat lovers. Not to miss Shinwari chops and Shinwari boneless mutton karahi.it’s a must visit:)

They literally sent me old meat that has been drowned in salt. Food wasn’t edible in the least. Not a chance. They serve this mixed bbq plate while charging me 105 dirhams while no one would eat it even for free. The driver told me the restaurant is telling him to come back and he can’t pick the food up or give me a refund. I call the restaurant and he says maybe he can try to replace the food for me tomorrow? I’m fighting him to get a refund and seems that won’t be possible. These are the real scammers. Extremely shocking how a place like this is allowed to operate. Please save yourself and eat anywhere else.

Super delicious food. Meat perfectly tendered and spacial Pakistani afghani zaika. Staff very friendly good crevice. Avoid traffic to reach from dubai at evening times.

Perfect place to experience Afghani cuisine. Wakha platter will hit your taste buds on a different level.
Perfect ambience, ample parking and excellent service.

Foos has good taste and staff is also cooperative. Ambiance is a little dark and it rakes time to prepare the food. But definitely worth the wait

Superb restaurant if you're looking for fresh meat based authentic afghan cuisine. Bit pricey though.

Despite being relatively well known for their food, the iftar buffet was really substandard and puts a question mark on their commitment to quality food. For 40 AED, they only served nominal food and 1 main dish of Rice and Chicek qorma.

Not good

Very good quality food, ambience and service. Good place for meeting friends and family. Washroom needs improvement in cleanliness and accesories.

I went to the iftari buffet.had such less dishes no meat dishes only one chicken dish and some daal, such a disappointment was hoping for more of a variety of dishes. However you can order food apart from the iftari buffet items other then that there normal food dishes are great especially the bonlessb meat karahi as for the iftari buffet if your in the mood for some proper food your better off ordering it separately

Great Afghan food with selection of cuts and kebabs. Simple food, cooked live and fresh with perfect seasoning. Compliment a meal with the Afghan pulao rice and sorbah dal.

Not enough dining area.delayed service.non-attentive staff.karahi was nice.bbq champs was a disappointment as they smelled like raw meat.so called lassi was no way near to the actual tradional drink.

Great place for honest home BBQ. Very authentic atmosphere with seating placement that provides privacy without stifling the vibe. Very laid back and great for group outings.

Meat it cooked fresh upon your order. Mix platter is very good and enough for 4pax, it comes with bukhari rice.

3 and a half stars for the Afghani food. Brighter lighting might enhance the ambience and setting. Portions are big, so order accordingly and allow about 30 minutes for preparation.

It's a must go place to go for people who love meat.if you're a vegetarian you'll be disappointed. Service there is hyper slow takes 45 mins before you get food on your table, at be a good idea to order ahead before you arrive. Expect to spend approx Aed 80 per person. Chapli Kebab, BBQ Tikka, Dumpukth and lamb chops are worth trying. Afghani Pilaf and Lassi are pretty decent as well.

Heard about it and tried what they should be best for. Mutton Karahi and Mutton Tikka but found it very ordinary and expensive.
Meal for 2 for 180+.
It's just another Peshawari / Afghan restaurant with better ambience.

Ordered lamb and chicken karahi and both had smell of raw lamb meet, only good thing was roghani naan but still very expensive for quality and qty of food they serve.so just 1 star fot ambience and roghani naan.

If you are looking for something different, cultural yet tasty then this place is a must visit.
Ambience is very good. They serve you some authentic balochi food with freshly chopped mutton in there very own butcher corner inside the restaurant. You can infact choose your own piece of meat from the displayed goats.
A must visit if you are a meat lover!

Frankly speaking it was good, but I was expecting mind blowing as per the recommendations and feedbacks I heard.

Best Afghani food in Dubai. Would recommend the platter (small is enough for three people) to try the different kinds of kebabs. Call in and order in advance as wait time can be long.

Decent food except takes way too long to prepare. Tried it twice, won't be doing it again. It's worth a try unless you're really hungry.

It's Afghans restaurant. Food is very delicious specially afghani plater is very famous. Restaurant follows afghani culture. Staff wear afghani dress.

Best food. Always pleasure to go and enjoy excellent quality food. It takes time to prepare but totally worth it

One of the best lamb chops I've ever taste. Chicken karahi also taste delicious. The only downside was we were waiting for literally more than 1 hour to get the food ready
