The best Mixed Grill (Mashawi) in Dubai

Also spelt mashawi, mashawe, mixed grill platter and shish tawook. A curated shortlist, shaped by your votes.

Editorial picks

Selected from published food guides and local reporting. How the list works

  1. Number 1.Al Safadi (Sheikh Zayed Road)

    Trade Centre, Sheikh Zayed Road Downtown and Business Bay

    Open
    9am to 1am daily
    Where
    127 Sheikh Zayed Road, Trade Centre 2, Dubai

    Ask for the mashawi platter and a plate of chicken livers with it. Five branches trade under the name, so say Sheikh Zayed Road, and valet is the only realistic parking on that stretch.

  2. Number 2.Aroos Damascus (Al Muraqqabat)

    Al Muraqqabat Al Rigga and Muraqqabat

    Open
    7am to 4am, every day
    Where
    Ground floor, Green Palace Hotel, Al Muraqqabat Road, Deira, Dubai

    Order the mixed grill for two, kebab and shish tawook off the same charcoal. It runs until roughly 4am, so go late; at peak dinner hours the wait for a table drags.

  3. Number 3.Bustan Al Dayaa Lebanese Butchery and Grill

    Al Barsha 3, Hessa Street Al Quoz and Al Barsha

    Open
    8am to midnight daily
    Where
    Shop 5, Sajaya Plaza Building, Hessa Street, Al Barsha 3, Dubai

    A butcher's counter with a grill attached: pick the mixed grill and they cut it in front of you. Closes at midnight, earlier than most of Hessa Street's Lebanese row.

  4. Al Nafoorah (Jumeirah Al Qasr)

    Madinat Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim Jumeirah and Satwa

    Open
    Lunch 1pm to 3pm, dinner 6.30pm to 11pm
    Where
    First floor, Jumeirah Al Qasr, Madinat Jumeirah, Jumeirah Street, Umm Suqeim 3, Dubai

    Hotel Lebanese, priced accordingly, and the mixed grill is the reason to book rather than the mezze. The kitchen shuts between three and half six, which catches people out.

  5. Wadi Al Arayesh

    Karama Karama and Oud Metha

    Open
    Kitchen runs late, to about 3am
    Where
    Zabeel Business Centre, Umm Hurair Road, Al Karama, Dubai

    Syrian family kitchen going since 1997, and the arayes and grilled meats are what to order. The cafe side keeps going to about 3am, but the grill can wind down earlier.

  6. Al Beiruti (Palm Jumeirah Mall)

    Palm Jumeirah Dubai Marina and JLT

    Open
    8am to 11:30pm Sunday to Thursday, 8am to 12:30am Friday and Saturday
    Where
    Palm Jumeirah Mall, Palm Jumeirah Road, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai

    Order the mixed grill with chicken livers to start. It sits on level two of Palm Jumeirah Mall and shuts at half eleven on weeknights, so a late crossing of the bridge will not work.

  7. Al Jood Al Aseel Butchery and Grills

    Al Warqa Al Qusais, Al Nahda and Mirdif

    Open
    8am to 1am daily
    Where
    Al Warqa 1, near Mushrif, Dubai

    Butchery first, kitchen second, which is why the mixed grill tastes of the meat rather than the marinade. Al Warqa sits well east of the city, so treat it as a drive rather than a detour.

    What to orderMixed grill from the butchery counter

  8. Al Mashawi Al Halabya (Al Garhoud)

    Al Garhoud Al Rigga and Muraqqabat

    Open
    9am to 2.30am daily
    Where
    54 Sheikh Rashid Road, Al Garhoud, Dubai

    Aleppan grilling, so the mixed grill leans on kebab halabi and lamb chops rather than chicken. It stays open past 2am. The dining room is plain and gets loud with families.

  9. Al Sultan Restaurant and Grills (Abu Hail)

    Abu Hail Al Rigga and Muraqqabat

    Open
    Roughly noon to 1am daily, listings differ
    Where
    Abu Hail Road, Abu Hail, Deira, Dubai

    A Lebanese grill house on Abu Hail Road where the mixed grill arrives with lamb kebab and tawook. Hours are reported differently across listings, so ring before a late run.

  10. Beirut Restaurant and Grill (2nd December Street)

    Satwa Jumeirah and Satwa

    Open
    10am to 2am daily
    Where
    Al Otaiba Building, ground floor, 2nd December Street, opposite Dune Centre, Satwa, Dubai

    Sit outside on Second December Street and share the Lebanese mixed grill with fattoush. Another Beirut Restaurant trades on Al Rigga Road, so tell the driver Dune Centre, Satwa.

  11. Kababji Grill (Motor City)

    Motor City Al Quoz and Al Barsha

    Open
    10am to about 12.45am daily
    Where
    Ground floor, First Avenue Mall, Barton Street, Motor City, Dubai

    The Beirut chain does a tidy charcoal mixed grill, kebab and tawook with garlic sauce. It sits inside First Avenue Mall, so weekend parking there fills up by eight.
