The Good Stuff
Daily dish
The daily dish includes hummus, Arabic salad and a main course, and one customer received it hot with fresh salad.
Charcoal wrap
One reviewer called the Rita’s Charcoal Chicken Wrap the best wrap they had tried.
Light kofta
A kofta meal was praised for well-grilled meat, balanced sides and bread that felt light rather than heavy.
Waraq enab
The lamb waraq enab was described as one of the reviewer’s best meals in Dubai.
Healthy options
The goat cheese salad is a repeat favourite for one customer seeking traditional Lebanese and international food.
Tips for a Better Visit
Allow time. Do not order when you need food quickly; one customer waited 2.5 hours during an iftar order.
Check ETA. Watch the delivery estimate after ordering, as one accepted order kept extending beyond 50 minutes before cancellation.
Check portions. Review the item size and price before paying, especially for shawarma wraps and salads with added chicken.
Try combos. If ordering for two, consider a combo: one reviewer found the combo for 2 good value with generous vegetable portions.
Order carefully. The daily dish is a useful set option, but check the main course and sides on arrival; one Maqlouba order was overly spiced and oily.

The Bottom Line
Mama Rita is a delivery-focused food brand in Al Quoz, with Arabic and international dishes built around a home-cooking idea. You can order daily dishes with hummus, Arabic salad and a main course, or choose individual items such as the Rita’s Charcoal Chicken Wrap, kofta, lasagna and beetroot hummus. The strongest reviews describe food that feels light, familiar and carefully packed.
Packaging is one of the clearer strengths. Customers mention hot deliveries, temperature-preserving packing and sauces in reusable jars. Some also rate the charcoal chicken wrap, lamb waraq enab, kofta and lentil soup very highly.
Combo meals for two have been described as good value, while other reviews say portions have become noticeably smaller and prices no longer match the quantity; one customer called a 40aed shawarma wrap tiny. The bigger caution is reliability. 5-hour iftar delay and cancellations after orders were accepted.
Food reviews are unusually divided, ranging from excellent to bland, oily, dry or allegedly unsafe, including reports of raw or stale chicken and a cockroach. If you try it, allow extra delivery time, check portions and inspect the order before eating.
