The 12 best spots for hummus in Sharjah

This place has been on my list for quite some time. The cooler, windy weather forced us indoors for an evening and I thought it was the perfect opportunity to try this very trendy, all-indoor venue. The restaurant turns into a club after 10pm and this is very obvious in its decor. It's sophisticated and the wall behind the bar borders on psychedelic! The menu matched the trendy decor with its unique twist on a few arabic favourites. We tried the grilled eggplant, chicken livers and lobster kibbeh to start. All of these were wonderful. Who knew that chicken livers could be made so pallatable? We also shared the mixed grill. This was a sophisticated spin on the classic dish and so it included duck, rib-eye, chicken with pomegranate mollases, cherry sausage and lamb chops. All cuts were cooked to perfection with the duck being a standout. The sausage was a little cold, which was a disappointment and the only reason I'm denying Qbara a perfect score. I'll be back. There are far too many amazing small dishes to try in just one visit! @ TRACY

Excellent food and overall experience. Expensive but worth a visit. Highly recommend!!

Amazing, absolutely amazing! The food was incredible and the desserts were complete perfection.

Killer venue and great eclectic menu. The service is impeccable and the ambiance is spot on.

qbara experience is an explosion of flavours with a mix of arabic food and contemporary style. expect the unexpected.

Fantastic food Fantastic atmosphere Fantastic service Price on the high side

The food was tasty, amazing decoration, and the best DJ

I had a wonderful evening at Shabestan Restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious — perfectly grilled kebabs, fragrant saffron rice, and refreshing yogurt with cucumber. Everything was served with attention to detail and presented beautifully. The atmosphere is warm and elegant, with traditional Persian decor that adds to the cultural charm. I really appreciated the live music and cozy ambiance — it made the dinner feel extra special. Their tea and dessert platter at the end were the perfect finish to the meal. Service was excellent from start to finish — polite, welcoming, and attentive. Definitely worth the Michelin recognition proudly displayed at the entrance. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience high-quality Persian cuisine in a relaxing, refined setting.

Absolutely beautiful experience! The food is authentic Iranian, masterfully made by chef Shiraz (third generation running the restaurant!). The view of the Creek and Old Dubai is incomparable. The restaurant different sections both open and closed that allow you to have a unique experience for different occasions and the decor is elegant and traditional. The food is great and here is a good indication for that: besides us, every customer in the restaurant was local! And to close with a flourish delicious Iranian sweets and tea! A big round of applause for the live musician who also helped to make it an unforgettable evening! Five stars to manager Sahar and chef Shiraz for their thoughtful preparation and friendly welcome and interaction with my guests!

Best Persian food in Dubai, if you looking for authentic Iranian cuisine here is your destination. The ingredients are top notch, recommended dish are Ash-Reshteh, Kebab-fillet, and Bagli polo - mahichi.

I was invited to a business dinner here and can tell that the service here is top-notch! The location of the restaurant is amazing as well! I can’t comment much about price/quality but the food could be a bit better, especially the mixed grill.

It is a must visit, family friendly restaurant for authentic, rich and flavourful persian food, with amazing service and beautiful live music. Absolutely delicious food we want to go back again for. this 40 year old restaurant has the most comforting vibes with their staff that put you at ease instantly and some of the staff have been there since almost the opening. Anis, Emily and Kareem were amazing. And we got to chat with the musician as well. Its like visting a friend’s home and having amazing authentic food. We had khubideh which was my favorite, lambchops,barge morg and khase bademjan. For dessert we had the faloodeh and persian icecream. We cannot wait to visit again .

Shabestan is one of the best & oldest Iranian restaurants in Dubai! I personally love this branch more than the other one (mostly because of the beautiful view🌊) It is our go-to spot for cozy family dinners. The service is always great, and I especially love how their bread is served fresh and crispy & the fact that they keep replacing it whenever it cools down (a critical part in enjoying iranian breads) Anis, one of the longest-serving waiters there, is incredibly respectful and accommodating! I highly recommend visiting with a big group & ordering the mixed grill; it’s the best way to try a bit of everything and enjoy the full experience! ALSO, don’t miss out on their black tea with mint; its the perfect way to end the meal 🤰☕️

This Iranian restaurant, located inside Radisson Blu Hotel by Dubai Creek, offers an elegant dining experience with a stunning view 🌊🏨. The food is authentic and flavorful, with saffron-infused desserts served as a lovely complimentary treat 🍮✨ The table setup is beautiful 🍽️, and the service is top-notch 🤝. Highly recommended for a refined Persian meal in Dubai ⭐️🇦🇪.

Had an amazing experience at Al Hallab – probably the best Lebanese food I’ve had in Dubai so far. I honestly don’t remember the exact names of the dishes (should’ve taken notes 😅), but there was this one with meat, mushrooms, and onions… absolutely out of this world. I also had a dish with eggplant and yogurt – surprisingly simple but super delicious. Their kababs were amazing – juicy, well-seasoned, and grilled to perfection. The sweets? Just perfect. Traditional Lebanese desserts done exactly how they should be. The ambiance was also really good – warm, welcoming, and perfect for enjoying a proper meal with family or friends. Price-wise, yeah, it’s a little on the higher side, but honestly worth every dirham for the quality, flavor, and overall experience. Highly recommend if you’re after authentic Lebanese cuisine in Dubai. P.S- I know my photography skills aren’t the best 😅 so just bare with the pics for now!

I was looking a place where we can have something sweet with tea with a friend and we ended up entering because a very nice staff opened the door and welcomed us. We were really happy about the service that was absolutely amazing. The sweet dessert was delicious, also, as well for the Moroccan tea, served with a lot of professionalism. And it was a lovely experience so we cannot wait to come back for lunch or dinner maybe- Also it’s a huge restaurant and you have a lot of choices when it comes to the menu so it can please anyone- Ps: the music played there is so beautiful. So it creates a very loving atmosphere.

Quiet and romantic both for business and family gatherings. Very clean and organised. Food quality is not open for criticism. Juices are also up to the expectations. The staff is friendly and professional. Though it was Friday, we easily found a parking. The prices are affordable.

One of the best authentic Lebanese restaurants ever. Of course the best on the menu are the mix grill and raw meat. Dessert is on another level too. Moroccan tea is very nice as well ❤️‍🔥

I was really looking forward to this shawarma, but it was a huge disappointment. The chicken was dry and tasted like it had been sitting out for hours. The seasoning was bland, and instead of the juicy, flavorful bite I expected, it felt chewy and greasy at the same time. On top of that, the sauce was watery and barely had any flavor, so the whole thing was just a mess. Definitely not worth it. I won’t be ordering from here again.

Amazing food and outstanding service! Look for Mr. Paul — he truly goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. You’ll never be disappointed. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food here is really delicious, especially the Arabic dishes — full of authentic flavor and great presentation. However, the dining space could be better. For such a big restaurant located in the main area, I expected a more comfortable and well-organized seating arrangement. Still, the taste definitely makes it worth a visit! 🍽️

Great food! Lovely ambience! Quick and friendly service! Had a memorable evening dinner with friends! Highly recommended!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of Dubai’s original Lebanese restaurants, offering authentic flavors and one of the most beautiful seating areas in the city. The kabab kushkash, hummus, and vine leaves are all exceptional and full of Levantine character. Perfect for a long, relaxed dinner in a truly unique eastern-style setting. Located inside Wafi Mall with easy parking available. Featured in my Dubai Food List — check my Maps profile for more local favorites.

Younes was an excellent host and the restaurant food quality is amazing. Ali made us a very nice sugar cane drink !

My fav. Spot in Dubai. You feel really local and relax in open air. Kids friendly, located in Wafi Mall. It is an oldie but a goldie one. I recommend the restaurant inside.

Overpriced and Underwhelming Tried Khan Murjan recently, and while the ambiance is nice, the value just isn’t there. The appetizers were okay—spicy potatoes were the standout—but the mains? Outrageous. The Mixed Grill was AED 114 for a couple of meat pieces, one lamb chop, and a skewer. The Sultani Kebab (Irani mix) was AED 145, which is honestly a crime. Portions are small, and the flavor, while fine, doesn’t justify those prices. This place is clearly aimed at tourists who don’t know better. Locals or residents know you can get more food—and better—for way less at plenty of great Lebanese or Persian spots around Dubai. You’re paying for the location, not the food. I won’t be back.

Unique dining experience in a prime location facility with high standards of service. The interior design is a state of the art. The atmosphere is snoozing with a modern & traditional mix that is convenient for all tastes. The food quality is high, the portions quantity is good value for money. The staff are very welcoming, friendly & professional. You would order more & more just to extend your stay in this lovely environment.

The best Lebanese food I’ve had in many years. Outstanding ambience.

Had dinner here yesterday and it was a great experience overall! ✅ Highlights: ✅ Spacious and calm atmosphere, spread over two floors plenty of seating. ✅ Very friendly and attentive staff. ✅ Food was delicious we ordered Mix Grill, rice, French fries, fresh orange juice, and fresh strawberry juice. ✅ Warm, fresh bread that was absolutely amazing. ⚠️ Room for improvement: Vegetables were cut into large pieces smaller cuts would make them easier to enjoy. 💰 Price: 156 AED for two people without deserts, which is fair for the quality and portion size. Would definitely come back for the food and the welcoming environment!

Overall good restaurant. They have a large variety on the menu, but are known for their shawarma. It’s in central Deira, so a very vibrant location. Parking is a bit difficult. We went for the boneless chicken, lambchops, and different kind of appartizers like; hommos, olive salade, garlic with spice, french fries. As a drink we took fruit juice. Would recommend it for families, price/quality is good. Spend 210 aed for two aduls and two children.

This establishment offers exceptional Lebanese-style Arabic cuisine, particularly noteworthy for its outstanding barbecue. The quality of the food was so exceptional that photography was momentarily forgotten. However, accompanying images showcase the appetizing appetizers. I highly recommend repeat visits.

One of our fav restaurant. Love their specials like fattah, kofta, shawarma, abu al houl, grill. Delicious food❤️

Been coming here for over 10 years now. The place is just amazing in all ends. The menu is very eco to the pocket, service is very prompt. Order anything and your served hot bread & salad with sour veges too Ordered humus Shawarma Mix grill plate Cost for 2: 85 Great arabic food to have once in Sharjah

I tried the shawarma roll and falafel — both were really tasty and freshly made. The shawarma was flavorful with good filling, and the falafel was crispy outside and soft inside. Clean place and quick service. Just a little room for improvement in presentation or portion size, but overall a great experience

"We had a terrible experience at this super expensive restaurant! The taste wasn't suited for Indian palates, and the staff was unfriendly. We paid 770 AED for 7 people, and what really got us was the soft drink charges - they were triple the amount we expected! They served salads, which we thought were complimentary, but surprise, surprise, we had to pay for them too! It was supposed to be a treat for my family, but nobody enjoyed the food, and it didn't even fill us up. Honestly, not worth it. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone."

Love the taste of freshly made crispy falafel with the verity of pickles and souce. Staff are very hostile and generous. Definitely recommended

THE BEST Falafel you can find in UAE 🇦🇪 ❤️ 🙌 ♥️ not just Sharjah. still has the same taste of our childhood. fresh falafel, and delicious , yummy pickles 😋 . will never find a taste like this anywhere in the world, i guess.

Falafel 🥙 is so delicious specially the stuffed Falafel. Simply love the food. This is a must try restaurant in Sharjah. Only request is to make the sitting place bigger so we can comfortably enjoy our dinner.

Kne of the oldest places to eat falafel and other related items. I tried the mix falafel sandwich in Kaak bread and 2pcs falafel stuffed with cream cheese. The sandwich had a great taste and was filled nicely. The falafel pieces woth filled cream cheese tasted fine. They have unlimited salad options for dine in which is a big reason to visit again and again.

Many option for vegetarian.Delicious food and authentic Mediterranean flavors! Falafel Fraya is go-to spot—always hits the mark. A must-try!

This falafel restaurant is a game-changer! The flavors are bold, the portions are generous, and the service is always friendly. I ordered Mix falafel sandwich, and it did not disappoint - crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and packed with herbs. The tahini sauce is creamy and tangy, and the pickled vegetables add a nice crunch. The atmosphere is casual and cozy, with a fun Middle Eastern vibe. The staff are knowledgeable and enthusiastic, happy to answer questions and make recommendations. Whether you're a falafel fan or just looking for a delicious and authentic meal, this restaurant is a must-visit. I'll be back for sure!

Super friendly and efficient servers. Lovely Egyptian guys with amazing sandwiches. Huge portions. Very clean place. Really enjoyed the food. Please keep this high standards up. Will surely go again and again. Highly recommend

Update: different staff, different level of service. Forgot to bring Karak chai and flies have entered the restaurant. No fly swatter and no candles to deal with flies. Bread was overdone, yaffawi was a bit thicker than normal. Training should be consistent to have consistent level of service and cooking. The most beautiful branch of Mama’esh I have visited. A gem of Palestinian food and retail. We had the egg and sujuk pan and the shakshuka pan as well. Both done well but I personally would prefer a bit more sauce or condiments. I order chili paste which is extra cost. Black tea was too hot for me and I had to add water to cool it down. Karak was good temperature and taste. Overall Avg AED45/person with clean toilets and seating upstairs and downstairs. I like the restoration of an old villa into a family friendly restaurant. ☺️

One of the highly recommended places for breakfast in Sharjah. The atmosphere is very cozy you feel like you are in your home having delicious dishes with your family. Seriously the place captures my heart 🤍 I love the idea of displaying their products. Thank you Mama’esh family for the remarkable service and food.

The best service and the best food!! Definitely try the kofta in Tahini and their rolled kunafe and many more authentic palestinian dishes. The whole restaurant setup is so cozy with a prayer room and ample hosting area. The restaurant is all about giving back to the community and hospitality.

Not sure how i should rate this place. Went for dinner the 1st time and was amazed by the service, food taste atmosphere and we all just fell in love with the place.. the fatayers and appetisers were just too good. OLIVES and the oil was aromatic, served with different breads. Having this experience we decided to celebrate our anniversary here and just in 5 days we went back last evening, which was not so great.. all of sudden we felt the place changed… the south asian male server seemed uninterested in taking our order, didn’t give us options of the different breads, neither served the regular salads and pickles, when asked the reply was its served only if asked! Lol… the food too was okiesh.. will still give it one more try latter on to come to a final conclusion.. Ya i feel the ladies who serve do a better job here then their counterparts..

Had an amazing brunch with the family at Mama’esh Sharjah Beach House! The food was super fresh and tasty, the beachside vibe was perfect, and the atmosphere was really relaxing. The whole team did a great job. Special shoutout to Stephanie, she took such great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. We all had a great time and will definitely recommend.

Nice location from across the beach. Good atmosphere and comfortable outdoor seating with a cooling sea breeze. Staff are polite. Food is flavorful and fresh. Portion size is adequate. Prices are reasonable.

We had breakfast from here was good We had mama's breakfast platter,hummus,manages and arranged tea. All the above was good and the location and the ambience was also good

You can feel Jordan in the heart of the UAE. I am very happy that it tastes exactly the same. Exceptional service! Thanks very much to Mr. Ahmad Balbal; he is very professional and caring. The staff is very friendly and quick. The restaurant is clean.

For me is an excellent quality, I am satisifed especially of falafel with cheese.

The food was amazing and the service is even better Mr. Ahmed Balba serviced our table and the food recommendation that he fave us was perfect, he is polite and very respectful person. Just ask for him and you are good. We ordered: • Falafel plate. • Hummus • Tomato plate with meat. • Scrambled eggs. Very recommended and to try

One of the best restaurants of oriental Jordanian & Palestinian food. The food quality is good the prices within the average prices across the other brands. It’s recommended for breakfast and dinner. They have a big hole for dine in inside the restaurant and the outside tent

Authentic Palestinian food. Freshly baked bread . Service can be a little bit slow at busy times. Dining hall a bit noisy and AC can be improved

We ordered bairooti humus and cheese filafil. It was great. Wonderful place, amazing environment, delicious food, helpful staff. Ahmed was really helpful. Totally recommended.

Nice place to eat Jordanian food... Especially falafel 🥙

This is not our trying area, but we eat regularly from here. One of the best and falafel and falafel sandwich I’ve ever eaten. Food quality was really great!!

All dishes are excellent and worth trying. Definitely high chances of visiting again

I stumbled upon this place through Google and surely it was worth it. They have another branch in Sharjah (where I went couple of years back, without realizing this is part of the same place. They surely have some of the best Falafel Sandwiches. Everything inside was fresh and prices are very pocket friendly. I have tried their Normal Falafel Sandwiche, Hummus Falafel Sandwich and Cheese Zattar Manakesh. All are totally worth it. Staff is friendly and courteous. Reason for 4 star is because they don't have the same quality during peak hours 😁

One of the best Syrian restaurants I've had the pleasure of dining at. The falafel is crispy perfection, and they have a wide variety of dishes to choose from. Their Manakish selection is impressive, with many mouth-watering options to try. The sandwiches are also good. The service is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall great experience. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a night out or a casual meal.

We had falafel sandwiches from here It was great

I placed an order and after 30 mins of that they message saying that they will not deliver as it falls below their minimum order value. Should have mentioned that at the time of placing an order and not after 30 mins of the order being placed. PATHETIC SERVICE !!!

Best falafil in town, if you want authentic taste. 100 pc recommend to a food lover. You will thank me.

Had green chilli charcoal and BBQ charcoal. Spicy and delicious for the winter

-Tasty Grilled Chicken! Safadi grill cafeteria is a old gem of Q-Town, i have been eating their grill since i was 14, easily my first choice when i want ti eat grilled chicken, the chicken is cooked perfectly, its not rubbery, not very spicy and has nice flavor to it.. order half or full charcoal grill + Oreo milkshake and you will feel like your in heaven. I prefer you sit upstairs its always quieter, and their burgers are pretty good too. But dont ask for delivery they will come pretty late.

They have the best green chilli charcoal, fast home delivery to nearby places.

Arrogant behaviour and delivering food they have rather than our choices. They don't even know how to prepare what's printed on their menu.

One of the worst restaurants you can try, the food is always left over from the day before, rice is rock-hard, beef cannot be cut even with a knife, they always get the order wrong and are late, they also lie about the price of the order.

I had ordered for veg hot and sour soup and asked them to bring the card machine they said inorder to use the card machine the bill has to above 10 dirhams since I don't have at the moment I ordered omlet which they charged for 3 dirhams .but after that omlet even giving 1 dirham is more .so small and tiny omlet .This cheating is at very high level.

Calm spacious for long time sitting Amazing food and customer service

Tasty Falafel and Foul was average. Arabic shawarma was good. Falafel taste was just like the one i had in Jordan. Ideal for takeaways. Rate 3/5 Taste 4/5 Ambiance 2/5

Worth a try for all falafel lovers, very cheap and the falafel is too cripsy. Their hummus with shawarma also a value for money deal.

Food is very good they give falafel with shawarma. No charge for garlic sauce.

I have called for Delivery to Ajman one tower and they denied then why he is giving pamphlets of delivery service mentioned..also maybe 900 mtrs far I ordered and disappointed with this shop

Very Good Falafel crispy and light , Spicy stuffed falafel is amazing Staff is bery friendly

We have been coming to this restaurant for the past few years. The food is amazing and cheap. We have tried many places but their Falafel is crunchy and the mutton shawarma does not smell. Mix veg shawarma is also very good. It's a simple place but cheap for a big family

Awesome falafel and charcoal grilled shawarma.

Nice sitting beautiful view. Prices are very reasonable food is fresh and good . Am not even a big fan of beans or felafel but I finished it all lol 😂

1️⃣ Humus is perfect 2️⃣ Foul is very good 3️⃣ Various veggie fried plates were perfect 4️⃣ Falafel 10/10 The staff is good and welcoming. Small store but good quality food. Good job guys 💪✌️

Amazing food !!!! A gem in Sharjah to be honest. The falafels were AMAZING 😍 Would be coming back for them soon.

The falafel was good, may not be the best but the falafel and hummus sandwich in kaak bread was superb. Just loved it 👌🏻

Good value for money. Authentic Arabian dishes you can just order at your doorstep if you're lazy to cook. Recommend their hummus with meat.

Falafel is really good here. Other food items are also of great taste and quality. Recommended!

Quality and tasty falafel food and better than other shops in Sharjah.
