What to Avoid (2)

Food 2

  1. Black angus brisket Net −1
    “Buddy don't lie to people and say black angus brisket. This aint even brisket. You are using a very cheap alternative. Anyone reading this please google brisket and see the texture of the beef how it's juicy and pulls away, and not crumbly chunks and dry piece of meat like this.”
  2. Hot dog Net −1
    “Hot dog: This one wasn’t for me personally. The sesame bun and caramelized onion sauce were great, but the sausage had herbs and spices that didn’t match my taste. Still decent, but 3/5 for me.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5
1

Plan ahead. There are no bookings, so arrive early if you are visiting with a large group or want to avoid the dinner rush.

2

Beat queues. One diner arrived an hour before friends to secure a table; this is sensible when visiting at peak dinner time.

The Bottom Line

Smokn7 is a walk-in smokehouse in Al Quoz with a menu built around slow-cooked meat. The strongest reasons to go are the Wagyu brisket, pastrami, burnt ends and brisket burger, all of which appear repeatedly in customer recommendations. Brisket is often described as tender, juicy and smoky, while one reviewer praised the pastrami enough to order extra for sandwiches the next day.

The restaurant has two floors, plenty of tables and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. Staff commonly bring food upstairs when the buzzer rings, which makes the self-ordering setup less awkward. Complimentary valet parking is another practical advantage, especially since parking can otherwise be difficult.

Reviews also mention generous meals, free drink refills and friendly, attentive service. There are trade-offs. Smokn7 does not accept bookings, and dinner queues can become significant, so arriving early is wise.

Portions have seemed small to some diners, and one visit found the Wagyu brisket insufficiently hot. The pastrami’s clove seasoning and the mac and cheese will not suit every palate, while plastic cutlery feels underwhelming for a meat-focused restaurant. Prices are described as reasonable; one review reported 250g of pastrami at 75 AED and a Coke Zero at 17 AED.
