What to Eat at Eat and Drink Restaurant How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Eat and Drink Restaurant, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Order Early. If ordering charcoal, place it early: one review specifically recommends this after timing problems.
Check Parking. Check the parking signs and location yourself; availability and fines have both been mentioned.
Avoid WhatsApp. For delivery, avoid relying on WhatsApp when hungry; a customer found the service extremely slow.
Check Mutton. If ordering mutton, confirm the meat before eating, as one customer reported beef mixed into the dish.
Check Orders. Before leaving with a mixed grill, check that every component is included; one order was missing wings.
Time Drinks. If you want drinks with the meal, ask when they will arrive, since one diner received them after the food.

The Bottom Line
Eat and Drink Restaurant in Al Barsha works for a quick takeaway, a family meal or a casual sit-down. The menu covers Arabic and Indian-style choices, with shawarma, charcoal chicken, sandwiches, burgers and fresh juices all appearing in customer reviews. The shawarma is praised for juicy, well-seasoned chicken, while charcoal chicken has been served with khubus and hummus.
One long-time diner also found the Malay Nasi Goreng close to the authentic version they had been seeking. The Hessa Street branch has comfortable indoor and outdoor seating and is described as more family-friendly than some other branches. Reviews also mention generous portions, reasonable prices, a relaxed atmosphere and the option to order from the car, making it handy between errands.
Fresh fruit drinks and the Arabian roll are other specific favourites. Service is inconsistent. Some diners report fast, attentive staff, but others mention rude behaviour, forgotten orders and charcoal delays of almost two hours.
Delivery through WhatsApp has also been described as extremely slow. If you are ordering charcoal or delivery, allow extra time and order early. There are more serious cautions around food handling and order accuracy: reviews mention bare-hand handling, a glass piece in food, beef mixed into mutton and missing mixed-grill items.
Parking can be tight, and one reviewer reported a fine, so check the signs yourself.
