The Bottom Line

Noon & Kabab is a quick-service Persian-style restaurant in Dubai Mall’s food court in Downtown Dubai, close to the cinema. It is mainly worth considering for a fast kebab meal rather than a long restaurant visit. Reviewers mention Joojeh, chicken and lamb koobideh, kabab sandwiches and meals served with multiple rice choices.

The strongest feedback centres on Joojeh and koobideh. One customer found the Joojeh flavorful and well-cooked, while another praised a spicy Joojeh Kabab meal with three types of rice. Kabab sandwiches were also described as juicy.

Some customers report food arriving in about five minutes, although older reviews mention much longer waits. Expect a distinctly food-court setup, with limited tables during busy periods and some disappointment over plastic plates and cutlery. Pricing is not uniformly seen as cheap for Dubai Mall: one reviewer reported 43 AED for spicy Joojeh with rice, while another paid 65 DHM for six pieces of meat and fries and felt still hungry.

Quality is uneven. Complaints include oily or bland food, dry or undercooked meat, stale yoghurt and disputed Iranian authenticity. Check your order and sides at collection, and avoid relying on delivery outside the mall when timing matters.
