“Seekh Kebab One of my favourite places to eat. I visit around twice a week, and what I really appreciate is that they maintain the same quality every single time. Even though it is quite far from me, it is always worth the drive. This is definitely a place you need to discover and try. For me, one of the best signs of a great restaurant is seeing local people coming regularly, and this place has exactly that. I am personally a big fan of their food. The flavours are amazing, the quality is consistent, and I always leave satisfied.”

Avoid Peak Times. Allow extra time on weekends or busy periods, when queues, seating and preparation can become difficult.
Check Entrance. Use the first entrance to the service road; one reviewer specifically flagged it as the route to the restaurant.
Try Winter. Choose the outdoor seating in cooler months, as summer visits can feel hot outside.
Try Tikka. Consider the tikka yoghurt, which one reviewer rated above similar versions tried around town.
Check Sides. If ordering a platter, confirm that rice and bread arrive with the kebabs so the meal does not become staggered.

Service can drag during busy periods; one kebab platter arrived 10 minutes before its rice and roti.
Long queues, limited seating and difficult parking are recurring complaints when the restaurant is busy.
Some diners reported flies and said the cleaning or surrounding hygiene needed attention.
A long-term customer reported repeated incomplete, missing or cold delivery orders.
While many reviews praise the grills, isolated complaints describe kebab as burnt and dry or meat as undercooked.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Seekh Kabab Restaurant is a busy Iranian and Arabic grill in Al Khawaneej, known mainly for kebabs and tikka. The menu gives you several ways to build a meal: a mix grill, meat kebab with rice, lamb chops, or the frequently praised tikka yoghurt. Reviewers often describe the grills as juicy, smoky and well seasoned, while the kobeda and zafrani chicken kebabs also receive specific praise.
The setting has an old-school roadside-diner feel, with indoor, outdoor and covered family seating. It suits casual meals with friends or family, and one review mentions free karak after eating. Prices are generally described as affordable or reasonable; one customer paid about 50 AED for two kinds of tikka, though that is a past customer report rather than a current menu price.
Crowding is the main practical drawback. Weekend queues, limited seats and tricky parking can turn a quick meal into a wait, while service has occasionally been slow enough for rice and roti to arrive after the kebabs. A few diners also reported flies and cleaning concerns, and delivery reliability has been criticised recently.
If you are driving in, follow the first service-road entrance, and consider an outdoor visit in winter when the weather is more comfortable.
