Share platters. For a group, ask about the family platter: one review says its mix grill with rice served five people for 195 DHS.
Confirm rice. Check whether rice is included with larger online orders; one customer called to clarify and received it as a complimentary addition.
Allow time. If ordering during a busy period, allow extra time: one diner cancelled after waiting 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Use a car. Plan to drive or arrange a ride, since a reviewer found the restaurant inaccessible by public transportation.
Try Iranian. Look beyond the mixed grill if you want something different: the Iranian rice and okra lamb stew were singled out by one diner.

Service reviews are mixed, with complaints about inattentive or rude staff and a bill being brought before the meal was finished.
Some delivery orders reportedly ran very late, were cancelled after payment, or arrived with overcooked meat.
Food quality is not consistently praised; diners have reported burnt chicken, hard kebabs and dry Sultani meat.
One reviewer says the restaurant is not accessible by public transportation, which matters if you are not driving.
A diner reported that the soup arrived cold during an otherwise poor service experience.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.
Tabrizi kabob
“As a reference, my Tabrizi kabob was 40 AED with rice, fries, soup and salad”Google review · May 2022
The Bottom Line
Kababi Restaurant in Al Barsha South is mainly a kebab and mixed-grill destination, with Iranian and Arab-style dishes available for dine-in and delivery. The family platter, chicken yoghurt kebabs and shawarma are among the clearest review-backed reasons to consider it, while the complimentary soup and yoghurt add useful extras to many meals. The mixed grill is repeatedly described as tasty, juicy and good value for groups.
One customer reported paying 195 DHS for a mix grill with rice family platter serving five people; another listed a Tabrizi kabob at 40 AED with rice, fries, soup and salad. If you prefer a fuller Iranian meal, reviewers mention Iranian rice and okra lamb stew, while fresh juice is a popular add-on. Service and fulfilment are the main cautions.
Some diners report friendly, fast visits, but others describe rude service, late preparation, cold soup and bills arriving while they were still eating. Delivery orders have also reportedly been cancelled after payment, so confirm availability and timing before relying on a large order. The restaurant is not convenient by public transport according to one reviewer, so driving or arranging a ride may be easier.
For a first visit, sharing a platter and checking exactly what comes with it should help avoid surprises.
