“But the true showstopper was the Yabraq Lamb Ribs: grape leaves delicately wrapped around a fragrant mix of rice and minced meat, all slow-cooked within lamb ribs with garlic and lemon. Every bite felt like a direct line to a grandmother’s kitchen, deeply authentic and soul-satisfying. The quality of the meat was top-tier, the grape leaves expertly rolled, and the stuffing seasoned to perfection. It was, quite simply, divine.”

Share Mains. Consider sharing mains: one review says individual dishes can easily serve two people.
Try Fakhara. Look beyond the usual grill and try one of the restaurant’s fakhara plates.
Save Dessert Room. Leave space for freshly made kunafa with ice cream, which several diners singled out.
Ask For Guidance. If it is your first visit, ask the team to guide you through the menu and recommendations.
Vegetarian Note. Vegetarians may find the menu less suitable; one diner said it was not a go-to vegetarian choice.
Book Iftar. For iftar, booking ahead is sensible even though one last-minute reservation was accommodated smoothly.

One review found the grilled chicken a bit dry and lacking flavour.
Mixed grills and lamb chops were reported as overcooked, with some lamb chops charred at the edges.
Some diners consider the restaurant pricey, although they still felt the quality and service justified it.
A diner found that only one of the dishes they came for was available.
One review found the food too lightly spiced for some Pakistani and Indian diners.
The Bottom Line
Khobzah W Fakhaara is a Syrian-Levantine restaurant in Dubai Silicon Oasis where the main appeal is traditional food with a homestyle feel. You can order slow-cooked dishes served in clay pots, share generous mains, and finish with freshly made kunafa with ice cream. The reviews make the restaurant especially appealing for diners seeking Syrian or Lebanese flavours rather than a quick, casual meal.
The menu has several memorable choices. Smoked lamb shoulder is described as juicy and light, while the lamb-rib yabraq wraps grape leaves around rice and minced meat before slow cooking. Eggplant kebab, stuffed vine leaves with meat, mixed mahashi and fakhara plates also receive strong recommendations.
Fresh bread and appetisers are a recurring highlight. Expect a cosy, polished setting with attentive, prompt service. Reviewers describe staff as welcoming and helpful with menu guidance, and the restaurant has handled family celebrations, office orders and even a last-minute iftar booking well.
There are a few cautions. Some diners found grilled chicken or mixed grills dry, and one review noted limited availability of a desired dish. Pricing is viewed as reasonable by some and high by others; one older review reported around 127 AED for two people ordering a mixed grill and flat bread with meat.
