Afghan Kebab House

Afghani delights in the Naif district 1 Reviews

From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2008

Grab a naan bread the size of a continental quilt and use it like an oven glove to relieve a red-hot skewer of its meaty burden. There’s chicken, lamb and beef up for grabs – all licked into juicy tenderness by lashing flames – so if you’re with a group, a mixture of everything is a must.

And it all comes with a fresh salad of tomato, onion, cucumber and green leaves. But a visit to the Afghan Kebab House is as much about the experience as the food itself. All around you, groups of men huddle over crouching tables deluged with food, many tucking into a traditional Afghan dish with meat, vegetables and pilaf rice – with nothing but their hands.

As you sit among the hubbub of voices discussing the trials and tribulations of the working day, you can kick back with a full belly and smile.
