What to Eat at Malak Al Tawouk - Business Bay ملك الطاووق 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 Malak Al Tawouk - Business Bay ملك الطاووق, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. 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 Malak Al Tawouk - Business Bay ملك الطاووق, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Staff took our orders at counter and service was really fast! Fresh lemonade was delicious, chicken burger was crispy! Beef burger was juicy and delicious. I liked the wings with bbq sauce, other one was too sour for me. Enjoyed our time there and food was really good! Definitely going back :)”

Tips for a Better Visit
Avoid rushes. Allow extra time during busy periods: a reviewer reported a 15-minute wait because of the small kitchen and many orders.
Check deliveries. If ordering delivery, check the bags and items immediately; one customer said the correct order had never arrived.
Consider takeaway. For a smoother visit, takeaway may be preferable to dining in if parking, self-service and kitchen smells matter to you.
Order carefully. Confirm customisations and included ingredients at the counter; one burger arrived with tomatoes despite a specific request.
Try tawouk. For a first order, the tawouk sandwich or platter is the clearest starting point, based on repeated praise for both.

The Bottom Line
Malak Al Tawouk is a Lebanese quick-bite restaurant in Business Bay, centred on grilled tawouk sandwiches and platters. The menu also gives you a few useful detours: reviewers mention the Mexican salad, slider meals, beef burger and chicken burger. The tawouk is the safest place to start, with several diners praising its flavour, portion size and Lebanese-style character.
Prices are generally described as affordable, and one review compared the food favourably with meals eaten in Lebanon and Montreal. In-person service also gets credit for being friendly and quick in some visits. The branch has had positive comments on its salads, breakfast options and small outdoor seating, while older reviews mention a lively dining area and a Burj Khalifa view.
The experience is not consistently smooth. Delivery customers report incorrect orders, cancellations and substantial delays, while dine-in guests have described a backlog of riders, difficult parking and a weak exhaust system that can leave hair smelling of the kitchen. Food quality has also varied: complaints include sparse chicken in sandwiches, stale or poorly handled potatoes, cold fries and missing ingredients.
There are serious hygiene reports involving a bug in a salad, hair and plastic, so check your order carefully and consider takeaway if you want to avoid the branch’s dining-room drawbacks.
