‪al Shafa‬ - Nqutu

Dropped in for a quick dinner. Be warned that the ambience is not spectacular and I wouldn't recommend this place for a date. However, their food is absolutely delicious and represents excellent value for money. Whats great is that every dish is generously served with soup, salad, yoghurt, etc. by default. Would highly recommend for take out and delivery (or dine in if you really dont care about the ambience).

Delicious food and healthy food. Must try don't look at place and sitting arrangements just order and wait for your yummy food. It's a Irani trendy food.

One of my favourite holes in the wall. This is a no frills eatery, thats serves some of the tastiest food I have had. Its very very good and its sparkling clean. Staff r friendly and helpful. Highly recommend the fasinjan and grills.

We went sultan restaurant in Satwa, we take their sultani kababs with rice and hamoor fish . The hamoor fish was very fresh and tasty.

When it comes to food, I like to be a bit adventurous and try new places to eat !! Not very often are you totally blown away by your discoveries and Al Shafaa is one such place. My ever growing love for Persian cuisine especially the kebabs has les me to try out quite a few restaurants in Dubai. In general, I find Hatam, Pars, Iran Zamin, noon o kebab quite decent and have never had a really bad experience. I have a little more time for Special Kebab in Satwa and totally love Ostadi in Bur Dubai. Al Shafaa is in the league of Ostadi !! Its a small outlet with few tables and with a very basic decor In fact if you want to go for ambience I would suggest that you stay away from Al Shafaa. But if your criteria is food and only food, I insist that you give this place a shot and I am saying this with full confidence only after trying the koubideh, yogurt kebabs and chicken kebab with bone. The owner Mr Ali is a fine gentleman manning the front desk. I mentioned that we just want to try the kebabs and was recommended the mixed kebabs with bread. They served a soup, salad (two types) and yogurt to start things off and quickly followed it up with a small plate of hummus and iranian bread. The soup was thick and very comforting and as soon as it was finished, the kebab platter was out. All three kebabs were chunky, FANTASTIC and really well marinated. I was thinking to myself why nobody talks about this place !! I had asked for some green chilly and chopped onions on the side and the chunks of meat with bread went really well with the crunch of the salad with green chillies. Brilliant stuff !! I topped the meal up with a cup of tea with dates. Really wanted to try the speciality ice cream or falooda but had no space left in the tummy. I silently promised myself to try it the next time and there would definitely be a Next time and a few times after that !! Mark my words Give this 27 years old, small cozy hidden gem a shot and send me a thank you note later !! Follow me on Instagram @SPICEITUPWITHSAM
