Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Verify hours. If you are planning an early visit, confirm the opening time first: one review says 10am service effectively started at noon.

Coordinate courses. For a shared meal, ask the team to serve courses together; reviews describe noticeably staggered arrivals even when the restaurant was quiet.

Common Concerns

Showing 2 of 5

Slow timing

Food can arrive badly staggered: one dinner guest received soup about 15 minutes before the other person’s meal.

Opening mismatch

One review said the advertised 10am opening effectively meant noon, so early visitors may want to verify hours first.

The Bottom Line

Kishmish Mirdif Avenue Mall is an Afghan restaurant in Mirdif where the main draw is a menu of familiar classics with a polished presentation. Start with the Kabuli Palou, whose rice, tender meat, raisins and carrots earned specific praise, or choose the mixed grilled platter for a broader selection of meats. The Ash soup is another standout, with one review highlighting its yogurt-based character.

The setting is part of the appeal: reviewers describe a calm, clean restaurant with modern interiors that reflect Afghan culture, plus indoor, outdoor and terrace seating. Naan is baked in a live tanoor, and families get more thoughtful choices than just plain pasta or fried food; a baby chair is also available. Portions can be substantial, so sharing the lamb rice or potato stew may make sense for a group.

Service is not completely consistent. Several diners found the staff warm and helpful, but others reported long or badly staggered waits, including meals arriving 15 minutes apart. Takeaway packing has also drawn criticism, and one diner felt the food was overpriced.

If visiting early, verify the hours first: a review said the stated 10am opening effectively meant noon.
