What to Eat at Mr Kebabish Restaurant & Cafe 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 Mr Kebabish Restaurant & Cafe, 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 Mr Kebabish Restaurant & Cafe, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Check status. Confirm that it is open before travelling: a September 2025 review says the restaurant had permanently shut down.
Allow time. If operating, avoid visiting in a rush for breakfast; one review says chana paratha took 20–25 minutes.
Plan parking. Allow extra time to find parking around the busy area; one diner said it was difficult because the area stayed crowded.
Expect compact seating. The interior was described as congested, so check the seating situation if you are coming as a family or couple.
Discuss oil. If you prefer lighter food, ask about oil before ordering; one diner found the dishes too oily and suggested using less.

Practical details

Common Concerns
Closed listing
The latest supplied review says the restaurant had permanently shut down, making the still-active listing potentially misleading.
Slow service
One customer waited more than 15 minutes for three parathas despite the restaurant being quiet.
Service issues
A review describes staff as unprofessional and says a takeaway parcel was simply placed in front of the customer.
Tight seating
Inside seating was described as very congested, with only two outside tables mentioned in one review.
Inconsistent food
Reviews include complaints about oily food, high pricing for the quality and quantity, and cold or apparently pre-cooked BBQ.

The Bottom Line
Mr Kebabish was a Pakistani restaurant and cafe in Al Rigga, but the most important current detail is the latest supplied review: it says the restaurant permanently shut down. Check its status before making the trip; the listing may no longer reflect reality. When it was operating, the menu attracted diners looking for traditional Pakistani food rather than a generic kebab stop.
Reviews specifically mention mixed BBQ platters, chapli kebab, beef nihari, Pakistani mutton, chicken karahi and garlic naan. Breakfast was also part of the appeal, with aloo paratha and chana paratha mentioned, while hot milk tea made a popular finishing drink. The strongest feedback described an authentic, homely taste and friendly service.
Several customers felt the food was inexpensive or budget-friendly, and one review reported chicken biryani at 12 AED. Another described two meals, two drinks and a complimentary treat for 58AED. Those prices are historical customer reports, not a current menu.
There were practical drawbacks. Breakfast could take 20–25 minutes, one order of three parathas took more than 15 minutes, and service complaints included rude or unprofessional treatment. Parking was difficult in the crowded area, while the indoor seating was described as congested.
Food feedback also varied, from delicious BBQ to complaints about oily, cold or apparently pre-cooked dishes.
