"I had the most DELICIOUS meal and it was all thanks to Hussain he was so helpful when I was looking for which meal I wanted to order (I was being very picky as I only have one night in Dubai and wanted something very local and delicious). So Hussain helped me with the PERFECT recommendation of the lamb chops which would have to be hands down the most delicious lamb chops I’ve ever had in my life. Not only this, after I had received my meal Hussain went to the kitchen and brought me some special spices to go with my lamb which made it even better! Hussain helped also connect with Internet as I needed to contact home and let them know I was ok on my stopover. I feel so lucky I chose this place not only for the delicious food by also the wonderful service by Hussain."

"I recently visited Sultan Al Arab Restaurant - Al quasis and tried their famous 1-meter shawarma, and it was an amazing experience. The shawarma was huge and perfect for sharing with friends or family. The chicken and meat were juicy, well-seasoned, and wrapped perfectly with fresh bread and delicious garlic sauce. The portion size was excellent for the price, and the combo also came with fries and fatayer which made the meal even better. The restaurant atmosphere was clean and lively, and the staff were friendly and very quick with service. Overall, it’s a great place in Dubai if you want to enjoy authentic shawarma and large sharing meals. I highly recommend trying the 1-meter shawarma if you visit. Especially the waiter hussain is very kind and humble person."

"I had a wonderful experience at Sultan Al Arab in Al Qusais. Honestly, I was about to leave at first, but one of the staff members, Hussein, approached me in such a professional and convincing way that I decided to stay. I’m really glad I did — the food was absolutely delicious and exceeded my expectations. The quality, taste, and presentation were all excellent. The service was fast, and the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. A special thank you to Hussein for his outstanding customer service and positive attitude. He truly made the difference in my visit. Highly recommended, and I will definitely be coming back again!"

"Good family friendly restaurant serving tasty food. Food cost is a bit on the higher side but overall good taste, decent service and enjoyable atmosphere for occasional dining. Quite a few paid parking spots right outside the restaurant but still you may face difficulty finding a place for parking during the peak hours. Their baklava with ice cream is a must try. The server girl named Faiza was very good, she served us well she was attentive and efficient"

"I recently ordered the Chicken Grill from Sultan Al Arab Restaurant, and it was a delightful experience! The packaging was neat and fine. The chicken was flavorfully grilled with Arabic masala, making it juicy and tender. The addition of special masala on the French fries was a nice touch, giving them an extra kick. What truly impressed me was the flatbread served with spicy spreads - it was a new and amazing experience!"
