“The variety on the plate is impressive — from rich curries to perfectly spiced sabzis, soft chapatis, aromatic rice, crunchy papad, and comforting dal. What stood out the most was the consistency: every dish had its own distinct flavor, nothing felt repetitive, and the portions were generous.”

“We ordered the Arabic shawarma plate, but what was brought to us matched the picture of the Italian shawarma on the menu. When we pointed this out, we were told that it was indeed the correct Arabic shawarma. Not only was it completely different from any Arabic shawarma I’ve had in my life, but even during my previous visits to this restaurant, the correct dish had always been served.”

Check Receipts. Ask for and review the receipt, especially for chai and delivery charges; one customer reported a chai-price dispute.
Confirm Orders. Repeat the dish and ingredients before accepting the order, particularly for shawarma or Filipino dishes, because several reviews report substitutions.
Allow Time. For delivery, leave a large time buffer or consider dining in; one order placed around 10:30 arrived at about 1:35.
Share Portions. Consider sharing a main dish first: one review found the chickpea quinoa salad with chicken tika large enough to take half home.
Check Doneness. Inspect chicken before eating and raise any concern immediately, given a review describing an entirely raw chicken salad.

A seafood soup review reported a crab stick cooked with its plastic wrapper attached, a serious food-preparation concern.
One chicken salad arrived completely raw and reportedly had a strong unpleasant smell.
A dine-in review described flies near serving areas, dirty chairs and food waste, while another customer questioned hand hygiene.
Reviews describe incorrect dishes, including chicken served instead of beef and an Arabic shawarma plate that did not match the order.
The Bottom Line
Arabian Grill Restaurant Remraam is a broad-menu neighbourhood restaurant in Al Thammam, with Indian and Arabic food plus pasta and biryani. The clearest draws in the reviews are charcoal chicken and the vegetarian thali: the former is praised for flavour, portions and meat quality, while the latter is described as a generous, varied plate of curries, sabzis, rice, chapatis, papad and dal. Fried rice, shawarma and karak chai also appear often in customer comments.
The experience is not reliably consistent. Some diners report friendly staff, fast service, clean packaging and a comfortable small local atmosphere. Others describe incorrect dishes, oily curries, undercooked or raw chicken, and shawarma that did not resemble the menu description.
A seafood-soup review reported plastic still attached to a crab stick, which is a serious food-safety concern rather than a minor quality quibble. Delivery is the biggest practical risk: reviews mention waits of two hours or more, sometimes ending with cold food. If ordering, confirm the dish and ingredients, allow extra time and check the receipt; one customer disputed being charged 4AED for chai after previously paying 2.
Portion sizes can be generous, so sharing may make sense. Dine-in cleanliness feedback is mixed, including a report of flies and food waste.
