The Good Stuff
Live shawarma
The catering service includes a live shawarma station, with meat cooked straight from the fire for a fresher presentation.
Large portions
The grilled hammour was described as very large and fresh, and the kitchen followed a request to replace fries.
Daily dishes
The menu goes beyond grills: one reviewer specifically praised the spinach with meat and rice meal.
Quick cooking
Some regular customers report fast preparation, including one who ordered from here as often as twice a day.
Tips for a Better Visit
Avoid peak times. If eating in, try a quieter period: one review says service becomes slightly slow during busy hours.
Check delivery. Before relying on delivery, confirm that a driver is available; reviews describe orders being accepted without one.
Check app prices. Compare the delivery-app price with the restaurant menu before paying, especially when a large discount is displayed.
Request swaps. For dietary preferences, add a clear substitution note: one customer asked to replace fries and said the kitchen followed it exactly.

The Bottom Line
Automatic Restaurant Central Kitchen is a broad Arabic and Lebanese food stop in Al Quoz, with dine-in, takeaway, delivery and catering mentioned in the reviews. The strongest reasons to consider it are the grilled meats, shawarma and generous plates. The live station shawarma is cooked straight from the fire for catering, while the grilled hammour was praised for its very large portion, freshness and herbs.
There is more than the usual grill menu. Customers mention broasted chicken, lamb kebab and a spinach with meat and rice meal, and one long-term customer says orders were sometimes placed twice a day because the food was tasty, affordable and prepared quickly. Biryani has also been mentioned as starting from AED 5.
The experience is not completely consistent. Some diners found dishes bland, dry, cold or poor value, including a disappointing beef shawarma and a costly sheesh tawook plate. Staff behaviour drew repeated criticism, and delivery reviews include missing items, cancellations and waits of up to two hours.
If ordering, check the app price against the restaurant menu and confirm driver availability first. For a visit, going outside busy hours may help; one reviewer found service slower when the kitchen was busy. A separate open-kitchen review also raised concerns about bare-hand handling and uncovered food.
