The Good Stuff
Cheese Shawarma
Cheese shawarma is a standout for several customers, with one review specifically calling it the best version they had tried in Dubai.
Marina View
The small garden seating looks onto the Marina, with reviewers mentioning water views and yachts passing while they eat.
Coffee Quality
The flat white was described as smooth and rich, while another reviewer praised the soft, chocolatey flavour of the Brazilian blend.
Large Portions
The Big shawarma was large enough to feed five people alongside one large fry, making it useful for sharing.
Good Value
Customers describe it as one of the cheaper Dubai Marina options, with takeaway considered good value for money.
Quick Service
Several reviews mention fast service, including a group of 10 receiving its food within 30 minutes.
Tips for a Better Visit
Try Russian. If you want a less traditional local style, ask for Russian shawarma; reviewers compare it with versions from Russia and the CIS.
Check Coffee. If coffee is the reason for your morning visit, check availability first: one customer arrived at 10 AM and found none available.
Expect Limited Seating. Plan for a casual stop rather than a spacious meal; one review says there are not many seats, although a garden overlooks the Marina.
Confirm Delivery. For delivery, confirm the order and payment method before waiting; one order took 70 minutes and the card machine was reportedly unusable.
Ask About Sauce. If garlic sauce matters to you, ask before ordering: one reviewer specifically noted that it was not included.
Consider Takeaway. Takeaway may suit a quick visit, as one customer specifically described it as good value for money.

Common Concerns
Unreliable Hours
One customer found the restaurant closed without notice, while another arrived to an open door but a closed kitchen.
Inconsistent Quality
Reviews range from excellent shawarma to cold, bland food, so the experience appears less consistent than the rating suggests.
Delivery Problems
A website order reportedly stayed unconfirmed for 20 minutes, arrived after 70 minutes, and had a failed card machine.
Meat Balance
One customer found a sandwich with little meat, more salad than shawarma, and no garlic sauce.
Service Complaints
Some diners describe rude communication, including a delayed online order and an unresolved cancellation and refund complaint.

The Bottom Line
KED Restaurant Shawarma&Coffee is a casual shawarma stop in Dubai Marina, with a small seating area and views of the water and passing yachts. The main draw is its Russian-style shawarma, which several customers say tastes like versions from home or the CIS. Cheese shawarma also gets a specific mention, while the Big shawarma has been described as large enough for five people with one large fry.
Coffee is another reason to consider it: a reviewer praised a smooth, rich flat white, and another liked the chocolatey flavour of the Brazilian blend. The setting is relaxed, but seating is limited, so it works equally well as a takeaway stop. Customers also describe the prices as relatively low for Dubai Marina and call takeaway good value.
There is a real reliability caveat. Recent reviews mention an unannounced closure, an open door with a closed kitchen, and inconsistent food quality. Delivery has drawn sharper complaints, including a 70-minute arrival and a dead card machine.
If you are visiting for coffee, check that it is available first; one morning customer arrived at 10 AM and found none. Those who prefer traditional garlic-sauced shawarma should also ask about the recipe, since one diner found the sandwich heavier on salad and without garlic sauce.
