If you know what you want to eat, choosing an Iranian restaurant in Dubai gets easier: a koobideh plate, a breakfast-named set that starts at 11am, tahdig with lamb neck, or six kinds of kebab arranged for a group. These five places make different offers, so the prices below are tied to the specific dish and the menu or ordering channel that lists it. Prices were checked on 7 October 2026.

| If you want… | Try | What the listed price buys | The useful detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| A straight charcoal-grilled koobideh plate | Alvand | AED49 for hand-minced lamb-and-beef koobideh with rice | The Al Mamzar restaurant says it operates 24/7; no serving size is published. |
| A complete Iranian breakfast set on Marina Walk | Firuzeh | AED40 for one: bread basket, white cheese, butter, honey, omelet and Iranian tea | The restaurant’s published hours start at 11am, despite the product name. |
| Koobideh and tahdig in JLT | Sofreh Kitchen & Grill | Deliveroo lists AED95 for two lamb koobideh skewers with tahdig | Price is platform-listed; the operator’s direct menu currently doesn’t show these items. |
| A tahdig-centred lamb specialty | The Sib | AED150 for a stated 700g lamb neck with baghali tahdig and garlic-onion sauce | The 700g refers to the lamb neck, not a published guest count. |
| A mixed kebab order for four | Anar | AED824 for six listed kebab varieties and three kinds of Persian rice | The operator labels it for four; it does not specify counts of each kebab or extra charges. |
Five different ways into Persian food
Alvand — koobideh at any hour
Alvand’s menu gives a clear answer when you want the familiar combination of minced kebab and rice without turning the order into a large mixed grill: Chelo Kabab Koobideh is AED49. The restaurant describes hand-minced lamb and beef, charcoal grilling and rice; its Persian-restaurant page specifies saffron rice and sumac. It does not publish the number or weight of the skewers, so the price is best read as the listed plate price, not a guaranteed portion size.
The address is 98 Cairo Street, Al Mamzar, Deira. Alvand says it is open 24 hours, seven days a week, making this the most flexible stop in the guide for a late meal or an unusually early start. Confirm the current menu price and branch details before setting out.
Firuzeh — a breakfast set with a late start
The “Iranian Breakfast for One” is AED40 and comes with a mixed bread basket, white cheese, butter, honey, an omelet and Iranian tea. That is a named multi-item set for one rather than a single egg dish; the product page does not quantify the portions of bread or sides.
Firuzeh is at Marsa Village, Marina View Towers, on Marina Walk. Its own contact page lists daily hours from 11am to 3am. That makes the breakfast set a useful choice for a late brunch or a substantial daytime meal, but the menu name should not be mistaken for an early-morning opening time.
Sofreh Kitchen & Grill — two koobideh skewers on tahdig
Sofreh’s Tahdig Box Koobideh is listed at AED95 on its current Deliveroo menu. The description specifies two lamb koobideh skewers with tahdig, so the draw is the crisp rice base served with the grilled meat. The listed item doesn’t state a total weight or a guest count.
Sofreh’s restaurant is in X1 Tower, Cluster X, Jumeirah Lakes Towers. Its operator site routes direct orders through an address check, but the direct online menu currently has no item list; the AED95 and product description here are therefore Deliveroo’s listing, not a confirmed direct-order total. Delivery fees, minimums and promotions depend on the selected address and account. The restaurant also lists a Tahdig Box Soltani at AED140, but that description names a lamb koobideh skewer and a beef steak without explicitly spelling out its rice composition, so it is kept separate from the clearer Koobideh listing.
The Sib — a 700g lamb-neck tahdig plate
The Sib’s Monster Tahdig combines Iranian lamb neck, baghali tahdig and a garlic-and-onion sauce for AED150 on its current Jumeirah 1 Deliveroo menu. The menu specifies 700g for the lamb neck; it does not say that the complete dish weighs 700g or state how many people it serves. That distinction matters when planning a shared order.
The restaurant is in Palm Strip Mall, Jumeirah 1. The price and description come from Deliveroo, where address-specific delivery minimums and charges can change. The dish is a different proposition from Sofreh’s two-skewer tahdig box: here, the named centrepiece is a large cut of lamb, and the menu does not publish a guest count.
Anar — a six-kebab platter for four at Souk Madinat
For a table ordering across several kebab styles, Anar lists its Kazar Kabab mixed platter for four at AED824. Its official menu names shishlik, barg, tikkeh masti, joojeh masti, joojeh kabab and kubide, served with three kinds of Persian rice. It does not give a skewer count for each variety or state how service charges and taxes are treated, so use the four-person label as the operator’s stated format and confirm the final bill when booking.
Anar is at Shop #147 in Souk Madinat Jumeirah and takes reservations through its own site. The reason to choose it is the spread across six named kebabs and three rice styles, rather than a claim that its four-person platter is interchangeable with an individual kebab plate or delivery meal.
