“Instagram: @makram.radwan, I ordered a large French fried sandwich with extra pickles. The order was punched large Tawook instead. I noticed it and informed the lady but they served the fries sandwich without extra pickles so I had to ask for some pickles, but that’s not a huge problem. The fries were fresh, the lady there was nice and professional.”

“Ordered a Medium Shish Tawouk and a crispy chicken burger. The waitress very kindly told me about the combo offer with fries and a drink, which would certainly be more economical. I obliged to upgrade to the meal. The Tawouk (medium) is huge ! Very filling and is stuffed well with plenty of meat and vegetables. It was almost the size of a subway foot long sandwich! Simply delicious! Although my tastebuds were asking me to have more but my stomach was too full with the sandwich and fries and drink. I had to keep the crispy burger for later.”

Add Toum. Ask for extra toum with the Switch sandwich; one customer specifically recommended it and praised the garlic paste.
Check Combos. Ask about the combo offer before paying: one diner was told it included fries and a drink at a more economical price.
Plan Parking. Allow extra time to park, as one visitor found parking the main challenge even though another review reported plenty of spaces.
Allow Delivery Time. For delivery before a meeting, build in extra time or consider ordering earlier because several reviews describe preparation delays.
Try Switch. If you want a plant-based option, order the vegan Switch sandwich or Switch salad rather than defaulting to the meat menu.
Inspect Takeaway. Check salads and delivered items when they arrive; reviews report missing chicken and discoloured avocado, although replacements were provided.

Delivery orders have sometimes taken much longer than expected, including a driver waiting outside while the restaurant prepared the food.
A long-time customer repeatedly received Chicken Caesar Salad without the chicken and felt their complaint was handled like an investigation.
Some delivery orders arrived cold, soggy or stale, including chicken liver sandwiches drowned in mayonnaise.

The Bottom Line
Malak Al Tawouk is a Lebanese fast-food restaurant in Dubai Silicon Oasis, located inside Souq Extra. Its signature tawouk is the main draw: reviews describe the sandwiches as juicy, generously filled and sometimes nearly the size of a foot-long sub. The Lebanese burger is another recurring favourite, and the menu also includes shawarma, liver sandwiches, burgers and salads.
There is more range than the name suggests. The vegan Switch sandwich and Switch salad give plant-based diners a specific option, while quinoa and chicken salad, Caesar salad and kids’ meals make it workable for lighter lunches or family visits. Some customers also praise the fresh open-kitchen preparation and spacious, lively setting.
The experience is less consistent on the service and delivery side. Multiple reviews mention rude cashier or waiter interactions, orders taking over 20–30 minutes, and delivery drivers waiting while food was prepared. Delivered food has occasionally arrived cold, soggy or incomplete, including salads missing chicken.
If you are ordering in, ask about combo offers and consider extra time for parking. For the Switch sandwich, extra toum is a well-supported tweak; for delivery, inspect salads and temperature promptly.
