“My friend and I decided to share a double chicken shwarma combo. The shwarma comes with French fries, garlic sauce and pickle. There was something in the taste of the shwarma that we couldn't define that made it the bites a bit sour and with some bitter aftertaste. To make the story short, although we were hungry we didn't finish neither the shwarma nore the French fries.”

Ask Discounts. Ask about current promotions before paying, since one reviewer said discounts were not communicated upfront.
Try Napoli Dough. Ask for the shawarma made with Napoli dough if you want to combine the restaurant’s two defining styles.
Skip Cheese. If ordering the cherry burger, consider asking for it without cheese if you prefer the cherry flavour to stand out.
Plan Parking. Allow extra time to find parking, as a first-time visitor reported that spaces were not easy to locate.
Expect Heat. If you are sensitive to heat, keep in mind that the open kitchen can warm the seating area when busy.
Plan the visit
One guest found the burger and fries bland, while another reported a sour taste and bitter aftertaste in the shawarma.
The open cooking area can make the seating area uncomfortably hot when the restaurant is busy.
Parking may take extra effort; one reviewer found it difficult to locate a space.
Some reviewers considered the pricing high and suggested more combo offers or discounts.
Promotions on the official online platforms may not be mentioned unless customers ask directly.

The Bottom Line
Ajeen Lab is a creative fast-food restaurant in Umm Suqeim where burgers are wrapped in dough and baked rather than served in a standard bun. The cherry burger is the headline order for many reviewers, while the buratta pizza, Pizza diavola and light Neapolitan dough give pizza fans good reasons to look beyond burgers. The unusual combinations are the point.
One reviewer loved the sweet-and-sour cherry sauce with meat and cheese; another called the sealed burger in dough a mind-blowing idea. Freshly baked bread and food prepared in front of guests also come through in the feedback. Shawarma is well regarded by some, though not consistently: one customer found a sour, bitter aftertaste and left the meal unfinished.
Service is a reliable bright spot, with several reviews describing friendly, attentive staff and a welcoming atmosphere. There is a small outdoor area, Wi-Fi and seating reviewers found clean and comfortable, though the open cooking area can make the room hot when busy. Prices are not universally seen as low, and parking can be difficult to find.
Ask about current promotions rather than assuming a discount will be applied. For a first visit, try the cherry burger, consider the Napoli-dough shawarma suggestion, and leave room for the sweet Dubai Pizza or Nutella Napoli dough.
