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

Hummus Net −1
“To make matters worse, the hummus was clearly off—spoiled to the point of being inedible. When we brought it to their attention, the staff acted surprised but did nothing to resolve the issue. In the end, after deciding to leave due to the unacceptable delay and poor service, we were still charged for the ruined hummus.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Choose winter. Visit the patio in cooler weather; one review specifically describes it as ideal for winter.
Try grills. If you want a safer starting point, consider the grill platters, which several reviews highlight.
Ask ingredients. Ask clearly what a dish contains before ordering, since one diner said a waiter could not explain the ingredients.
Check orders. For groups, confirm side plates and order details early; one table waited despite multiple reminders.
Allow time. Build in extra time during busy periods, as one order took over 30 minutes and another shawarma order was delayed.
Check tea. Confirm the tea serving and preparation before ordering: one diner paid 5 dirhams for strong tea in a paper cup.

The Bottom Line
Tashrifat Restaurant is a Trade Centre dining option known mainly for its outdoor view towards the Museum of the Future. You can order Pakistani, Indian, Iranian or Lebanese-style food, with reviews often mentioning grill platters, kebabs, business lunch and generous rice-based meals. The patio is the main reason to choose it over a more ordinary nearby restaurant, especially in cooler weather.
The food record is mixed. Some diners describe authentic flavours, tender kebabs, tasty rice and very large portions; others found dishes bland, overly salty or disappointing. Specific favourites include lamb chops, tah chin, chicken saffron dishes and shawarma with spicy garlic mayo.
The business lunch receives repeated praise for value, speed and quantity, though expectations should be balanced against the prime location and differing reports on pricing. Service can be excellent and welcoming, but it is not consistently so. Reviews also report waits of 21 to 30 minutes, missed side plates, delayed drinks and an order problem involving shawarma.
One customer said the hummus was spoiled and still charged, while another criticised cleanliness. For a first visit, try a grill platter or business lunch, confirm ingredients and sides, and allow extra time if the restaurant is busy.
