Check Sides. Ask what comes with a platter: one review says extra bread, hummus and garlic paste were charged separately.

The Bottom Line

Golden Kabab is an Iranian-focused restaurant in Al Barsha where the strongest reason to visit is the grilled food. The menu choices that come up most usefully in reviews include mix grill, Sultani Kebab, koobideh, Ash soup and fresh sesame bread with hummus. Portions can be substantial: one mix grill ordered for three was said to feed four.

The setting is generally described as clean, cosy and culturally styled, with both ordinary tables and majlis-style floor seating. Some diners enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, traditional soup and even the background music. The restaurant can feel small and congested, though, and one visit was seriously affected by mosquitoes and inattentive handling of the problem.

Food quality is not completely uniform. Many diners found the kebabs juicy, authentic and well cooked, while another found the meat platter too oily and another wanted a stronger charcoal flavour. There was also a costly ordering mix-up involving an AED 75 package, a Sultani substitution and stale biryani rice, so confirm package details and rice before settling in.

Reviews otherwise describe generous portions, warm service and reasonable value. Saffron tea, kunafa and the saffron falooda ice-cream are useful extras to consider after the main course.
