What to Eat at Kabab Fareej - Dragon Mart 2 - کباب الفریج 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 Kabab Fareej - Dragon Mart 2 - کباب الفریج, 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
Check Orders. Ask staff to write the order down and confirm missing sides; a December 2025 review reported a wrong, delayed order.
Ask Mild. If you are spice-sensitive, request less spice and lemon; reviews found some dishes too spicy or sour.
Use Parking. Parking is plentiful, and a September 2025 review says stays under two hours are free.
Choose Pickup. Pickup may suit you better than dining in if cleanliness or service is a concern; one January 2024 diner preferred it.
Check Seating. Inspect the table location before settling in, as one diner was seated beside a smelly toilet door.

Slow Service
Several reviews report delays, ignored requests and orders being taken from memory rather than written down.

The Bottom Line
Kabab Fareej is a casual Iranian and Arabian grill in Dragon Mart 2, International City, with a menu centred on kebabs and rice dishes. Reviews especially like the juicy kebabs, chicken tikka with rice, lamb and chicken kabab sandwiches, and lamb yogurt tikka with rice. Freshly baked bread and occasional complimentary tea are useful extras.
The food is the strongest reason to come. Diners describe generous portions, and one regular says there is often enough to take home. A review also called it a good-value Dragon Mart stop, while another put “all this food” at 110 AED; that is a customer-reported example, not a current menu price.
Mall parking is plentiful, with one review noting that stays under two hours were free. Expect a small, informal setting with indoor and outdoor seating rather than polished dining-room presentation. Service and cleanliness are the main cautions: reviews mention slow or incorrect orders, ignored requests, dirty chairs and an unclean washroom.
Food quality is not perfectly consistent either, with isolated reports of cold, overcooked or burnt dishes, and some diners finding the seasoning or lemon too strong. For a first visit, confirm the order, ask for milder seasoning if needed, and consider pickup if the dining area looks untidy.
