Grilled meat platter
Est. 1997 · Dubai

The Gulf
on a plate.

Three generations of Gulf cooking. Flame-grilled, family-served, on Jumeirah Beach Road since 1997.

Al Safa interior

From a six-table grill house to a Dubai institution.

Mahmoud Al Safa opened our doors in 1997 with nothing but his grandmother's spice blend and a charcoal grill. Word spread from table to table. Soon, Jumeirah Beach Road had a new landmark.

Today, his sons run the kitchen — same recipes, same fire, same welcome. Every spice is sourced from Dubai's souks. Every marinade is made that morning. Every dish leaves the grill only when it's perfect.

Lamb Mandi

Lamb Mandi

Yemeni-style. The lamb is suspended above the rice as it cooks — charcoal smoke infuses every grain. Tender enough to pull apart with a spoon.

AED 90
Hummus

Hummus with Lamb

Silky chickpea hummus crowned with spiced minced lamb, toasted pine nuts, and a drizzle of Palestinian olive oil.

AED 38
