The Good Stuff
Stuffed naans
Fresh naans with generous fillings such as cheese and keema are a strong reason to visit later in the day.
Kashmiri tea
The pink Kashmiri tea is described as hot, creamy, nutty and full of nuts.
Evening snacks
Evening pakoras and samosas are often mentioned as crispy, tasty accompaniments to tea.
Tea quality
Karak chai is a recurring favourite, with one customer calling it the best karak in Dubai.
Card payments
Card payments are now available, making this small takeaway stop more convenient than before.
Bread variety
Customers mention several bread styles, including roghni naan and Afghani, Pakistani and Irani rotis.
Tips for a Better Visit
Go early. Visit in the morning for parathas; the review specifically recommends asking for a crispy paratha.
Time naans. Plan stuffed naans for the evening rather than breakfast, as one review says naans are available then and parathas in the morning.
Cut takeaway. Ask for loaded cheese naans to be cut like a pizza and served on a plate so melted cheese is less messy.
Order ahead. For takeaway bread, ordering by phone in advance may help you avoid waiting.
Limited parking. Free parking has been reported, but spaces are limited, so allow extra time if driving.
Tea timing. For Kashmiri tea, go early in the evening because one review says it starts at 4 and sells out soon.

The Bottom Line
AL TAZJ BAKERY AND COFFEE SHOP is a compact, casual bakery and tea stop in Mirdif. Breakfast is the time for crispy parathas, including aloo, cheese and keema versions; later, the focus shifts to freshly baked stuffed naans such as cheese and keema. Karak chai and pink Kashmiri tea round out the visit, with samosas and pakoras providing popular savoury sides.
The strongest pattern in the reviews is freshness and value, especially for parathas, naans, rotis and tea. The Kashmiri tea is described as piping hot and full of nuts, while evening pakoras are praised for their crisp texture. It is more of a hole-in-the-wall takeaway or quick stop than a sit-down restaurant: customers mention standing outside, eating in the car and dealing with busy periods.
Timing matters. Parathas are associated with mornings, while naans are generally available in the evening; Kashmiri tea reportedly starts at 4 and can finish soon. Ask for cheese-filled takeaway naans to be cut like a pizza to avoid a messy packet.
Free parking has been reported but spaces are limited, and one regular recommends ordering ahead by phone. Service feedback is mixed, including complaints about rude interactions, queue uncertainty and a strict 11:00 naan cutoff.
