The mutton kebab roll is repeatedly praised for its soft texture, flavour and satisfying portions.
Breakfast favourites include fresh puri with channa, aloo bhujia, suji halwa, tea and aloo paratha.

Mutton seekh kebabs, chicken tikka and mixed grills are among the better-reviewed choices.
One breakfast review describes a peaceful, quiet atmosphere, while other diners mention family seating and a comfortable setup.
A catering customer reported food delivered a day early and staff arriving several hours ahead, avoiding last-minute event stress.

State spice. Tell the restaurant clearly if you want mild food; one customer said a confirmed regular request still arrived spicy.
Check delivery. For delivery, confirm how chaat will be packed and check that every component is included before serving.
Try breakfast. Weekday mornings are worth considering: halwa puri is available on weekdays, alongside traditional breakfast and tea.
Late cravings. The restaurant has been used for late-night rolls and haleem; one review describes service at 2:30am.
Start with rolls. For a first order, the mutton seekh kebab roll or bihari roll is a more consistently praised starting point than the mixed dishes.

A Talabat order arrived with the chaat ingredients separated, leaving the customer to assemble the dish themselves.
One long-term customer reported repeated incomplete orders, forgotten items and delivery instructions being missed.
A customer asked for regular seasoning but received food that was still spicy.
One review found portions very small for the price, with greasy bread and little meat, although other diners reported generous portions.
The mutton peshawari was called average, and another review found the raita's taste unusual.
The Bottom Line
Apna Kabab Rolls is a Pakistani restaurant in Al Barsha with a menu that covers Karachi-style rolls, desi breakfasts and grilled dishes. The clearest starting points are the mutton seekh kebab roll, bihari roll, chaat and aloo paratha. Reviews also give the mutton biryani, chicken handi and mixed grill plenty of attention.
The mutton roll is the strongest recurring theme: diners describe it as soft, flavourful and even good enough to order again immediately. The green chutney is another standout, praised for its concentrated flavour rather than a thin, watery consistency. Breakfast is not just an afterthought; customers mention puri with channa, aloo bhujia, suji halwa, tea and weekday halwa puri.
For dine-in, reviews describe a peaceful atmosphere, family seating and a comfortable setting. Catering feedback is also unusually practical, with one event customer reporting early delivery and staff arriving well ahead of time. Portions and value are viewed differently across reviews, so expectations may depend on the order.
Be more cautious with delivery chaat and detailed order instructions. One Talabat customer received every chaat ingredient separately, while another reported repeated missing items and ignored delivery requests. If you prefer mild food, state that clearly when ordering.
