The Bottom Line

Zahrat Afghan Restaurant is a casual Afghan and Peshawari spot in Dubai Silicon Oasis, known mainly for substantial meat-and-rice meals rather than a polished dining-room experience. Customers come for Mutton Shinwari, pulao, kebabs, charcoal chicken and hot Afghan bread; the best reviews describe tender meat, aromatic rice and portions that stretch comfortably across a group. Value is a recurring strength.

One large steel platter was said to contain enough food for six people and cost around AED 200, while complimentary soup, salad or vegetables are mentioned with several meals. Breakfast is another useful angle: reviewers recommend asking for fresh paratha with karak tea. The atmosphere is generally described as calm and family-friendly, with outside seating and a small private family room.

There is a noticeable gap between the strongest and weakest experiences. Service is often praised, but some diners found waiters inattentive, and delivery can take more than an hour or even several hours. Food quality also varies: alongside excellent Shinwari and pulao reports, one customer received ice-cold rice and hard bread, while another disliked the mixed grill.

For a first visit, dine in if you can, ask for fresh bread, and confirm delivery orders carefully.
