The Dubai Cup / كوب دبي was disappointing. The chocolate tasted poor quality and there was very little pistachio cream. I ended up throwing it away.
I also ordered the Mixed Grill Plate /صحن مشاوي مشكلة . The meat, half tomato, and 1/4 onion tasted like they'd been dropped in soot. The rice was okay, but I think the spices weren't for me. It was a ton of food, so I would have been extremely happy with the value if it tasted less charred.
One bright spot: I also ordered the Baklava / بقلاوة , which I thought was only supposed to have two pieces. They sent me three and it was absolutely delicious.
Overall I'm disappointed but I may try the restaurant one more time just to be sure it wasn't an off day.

Wasn't bad. Shank was soft, rice was spiced- large portion of tepsy side for shank. Would have liked the option to get a different side.
Kebab was okay, good price for what it is. Came with fries though it said none came with it.
They forgot one of the items from my order which would have made my meal taste better.
Personally would like to see more sauces (similar to other shawarma-type shops) or yellow raisins in rice for a flavor contrast (though this is Iraqi style).
Very nice employees, place is nice inside.

The portion size was large but the food lacked flavor.
