Fish seekh kebabs Net −1

“Fish Seekh Kebabs: Something definitely out of the box here. The fish was cooked and marinated perfectly. The flavours were all there its just that we didn’t like the texture of the fish as it felt a little rubbery.”
Aloo jeera Net −1

“I ordered aloo jeera and tawa parantha from noon with an expectations that it will be delicious in taste as per the pictures uploaded by restaurant. However it's opposite, Instead of aloo jeera they sent aloo with curry and tawa parantha is not paratha at all, it's deep oil fried poori. It's not tasty at all and wastage of money. Not recommended to anyone to order food from kebab bistro. I have attached pictures as well.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5

Try dhansak. If Parsi food is new to you, start with mutton dhansak, served with lentil gravy and caramelised basmati rice.

Save room. Leave space for Lagan nu Custard; one review says its serving is large enough for two or three people.

The Bottom Line

Kebab Bistro is a casual Indian restaurant in Al Karama where the menu’s clearest point of difference is its Parsi cooking. Start with mutton dhansak, a lentil-based curry served with caramelised basmati rice, or explore farcha chicken and Russian pattice. The kebab side is equally well represented: reviewers repeatedly mention mixed platters, seekh kebabs and galauti kebab, often describing the meat as smoky, tender and juicy.

Dessert is not an afterthought. Milk cake, particularly the saffron version, comes up often, while Lagan nu Custard has been described as a generous portion suitable for sharing. Breakfast is another reason to look beyond the restaurant’s name, with kheema pav, idli vada, Mysore masala dosa and authentic sambar and chutney receiving specific praise.

The setting is generally described as clean, cozy and family-friendly, with quick, attentive service; a baby seat was noted in one older review. Prices have been described as reasonable, with past buffet offers at Dhs 49 and an Iftar buffet at Aed 39 per person. Do note that older reviews found the bread selection limited, some chicken kebabs dry, and certain fish dishes sweet or bony, so asking staff for guidance is worthwhile.
