The Good Stuff
Cheese koobideh
The cheese spicy koobideh wrap is freshly made to order and praised for its cheese-filled flavour.
Juicy kebabs
Several reviews describe the meat and chicken kebab rolls as tender, juicy and properly cooked.
Iranian flavours
Koobideh, Sultan Kebab, Iranian bread and white rice are standout choices for customers seeking Persian-style food.
Special sauces
The green and red sauces are repeatedly mentioned, with the green sauce adding a spicy kick to sandwiches and kebabs.
Warm service
Even critical reviews acknowledge the welcoming staff, while others describe quick, friendly and attentive service.
Saffron chicken
Saffron chicken was singled out as the best dish in one mixed order, alongside fresh roti.
Takeaway friendly
The small format and car-service option make takeaway practical, especially when the dining area is busy.
Tips for a Better Visit
Order ahead. Order ahead if possible: one customer specifically recommended it, while another reported waits of at least 45 minutes.
Choose takeaway. Takeaway or eating in the car may be easier than relying on limited seating, especially during busy periods.
Mind the spice. Ask about the sauces or chicken spice level if you are sensitive; the green sauce and spicy chicken can have a noticeable kick.
Check the wrap. If ordering a Sultan sandwich, ask for the bread not to be burnt; one customer had to remove the blackened outer wrap.
Try signature items. First-timers could start with Sultan Eats Meat or the cheese spicy koobideh wrap, both repeatedly described as standout sandwiches.
Visit off-peak. Plan around busy periods: a review found the restaurant very busy and suggested planning ahead or choosing takeout.

The Bottom Line
Dostan Kabab in Mirdif is chiefly a stop for Iranian-style kebab sandwiches rather than a broad restaurant experience. The Sultan chicken and Sultan meat sandwiches are the main draw, while the cheese spicy koobideh wrap has a strong following for its freshly made bread and generous cheese. Regular kebab rolls, koobideh with Iranian bread and white rice, and saffron chicken also feature positively in reviews.
The food can be excellent when it lands well: customers describe juicy, tender meat, fresh-to-order wraps, rich sauces and properly grilled kebabs. The green sauce is spicy, and the red sauce appears with some chicken orders. Hospitality is another consistent bright spot, with several reviewers calling the staff welcoming and friendly.
Fresh roti and mint curd also received specific praise. There are trade-offs. Prices are viewed as high by multiple customers, and reported waits range from quick service to at least 45 minutes.
Seating is limited, so takeaway or eating in the car may be more comfortable at busy times. Quality is not perfectly consistent: some diners received burnt or tough meat, while another reported old-looking chicken. Ordering ahead and checking spice or grilling preferences should make a first visit smoother.
