What to Eat at Qasr Al Kababgi-قصر الكبابجي 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 Qasr Al Kababgi-قصر الكبابجي, 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 Qasr Al Kababgi-قصر الكبابجي, 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
Try Hawawshi. Hawawshi is a strong first order to consider; one reviewer called it the best in the UAE.
Check shawarma. If ordering chicken shawarma, check its appearance and freshness before eating, given one report of greenish colouring.
Use parking. For easier arrival, look for the RTA parking directly in front of the restaurant.
Allow time. Service is often praised, but allow extra time at busy periods since one diner waited about 10 minutes to place an order.
Share a meal. Consider sharing if dining with others: reviews describe the portions as massive and one meal as more than enough.

The Bottom Line
Qasr Al Kababgi is an Egyptian restaurant in Hor Al Anz where the main draw is traditional comfort food rather than a short, specialised menu. Reviews mention Hawawshi, fatta shawerma, molokheya, kofta, mixed grills and oxtail with lamb. The strongest praise centres on familiar Egyptian flavour, generous portions and food that reminds some diners of home cooking.
It also suits groups and families. One reviewer describes spacious, comfortable seating and choices for children, while others mention a calm atmosphere, attractive decor and easy RTA parking directly in front. Egyptian tea with mint is a popular drink, and one dining experience ended with complimentary tea and Arabic sweets.
The feedback is not completely consistent. Several diners praise freshness, service and value, but others report meat with an unusual smell, a chicken shawarma plate with strange rainbow-green colouring, and poor food quality. Grape leaves were described as repeatedly too salty, while shawarma portions and fillings reportedly varied between orders.
Service is usually called polite and attentive, yet one customer waited around 10 minutes without being acknowledged and left. For a first visit, Hawawshi is a useful starting point; if ordering chicken shawarma or delivery, check the food carefully and allow for possible delays.
