What to Eat at kebab's crib 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 kebab's crib, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. We still have more reviews to analyze, so the scores may change. 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.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of kebab's crib, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Chicken boursin Net 0
Only neutral feedback
“Restaurant looks good and is clean which shows that it is certainly well looked after but we come for the food … and here comes the disappointment … the bread was wrinkled and didn’t look fresh, the meat was not tender and a bit elastic (ordered a chicken curry) but the marinade was tasty although quite salty. The chicken Boursin ordered was average and the bread also burnt in the Panini machine. Frustrating when you see the potential - I am sure they can improve but for a small sandwich at 40 AED without fries you can’t call yourself “La Maison du Kebab””

Tips for a Better Visit
Start classic. For a first order, consider the mix kebab: it was called the top pick alongside fresh, hot baguettes and tacos.
Try tacos. French tacos are a strong choice if you want a French-style meal; one Tunisian diner praised their texture and taste.
Check sauces. If ordering garlic sauce, confirm the order at the counter because one customer received mayonnaise instead.
Allow time. Although many reviews mention quick service, allow extra time during a busy visit because one order took 20–25 minutes.
Ask for advice. The staff have helped diners choose meals based on preferences, so ask for a recommendation if the menu is unfamiliar.
Ask about dogs. A dog was welcomed on one visit, but check the current arrangement before bringing a pet.

Common Concerns
Taco inconsistency
Although French tacos receive strong praise overall, one diner found the tacos disappointing and another preferred the kebab.
Occasional wait
One customer reported waiting 20–25 minutes, despite describing the service team as very nice.
Sauce mismatch
A garlic sauce order was reportedly fulfilled with simple mayonnaise instead.
Past food issues
An older review reported wrinkled bread, tough chicken and burnt bread on a chicken Boursin order.
Price concern
One review felt a small sandwich at 40 AED was expensive, even though other diners considered the quality and value good.

The Bottom Line
Kebab’s Crib is a Dubai Marina restaurant for French-style kebabs, sandwiches, baguettes and French tacos. The strongest pattern in the reviews is well-cooked kebab meat paired with good bread: diners specifically praise the mix kebab, beef trio, chicken baguette and soft homemade baguette bread. Portions are often described as generous, and several customers return regularly for the consistent comfort-food appeal.
French tacos are another major reason people come, especially for a familiar taste from France, Algeria or Tunisia. One Tunisian diner highlighted the texture and flavour, while another review found the tacos less impressive than the kebabs, so the experience may vary by order. Merguez also gets a direct recommendation, though one repeat customer preferred the chicken and meat kebabs and advised against the merguez.
The setting is small and cosy rather than fancy, with a friendly team that commonly helps guests choose. Service is often quick, but one diner waited 20–25 minutes. Check sauce orders carefully: a garlic sauce was reportedly replaced with mayonnaise.
A past review also mentioned stale-looking bread and burnt panini bread, although newer reviews are overwhelmingly positive. One customer brought a dog, but it is sensible to confirm pet arrangements first.
