Signature Plates
الأطباق المميزة

Slow-smoked,
spice-laced, shared.

A curated selection from our full menu — the dishes our guests come back for. From the charcoal grill to the heavy biryani pot, each plate tells a story of two cuisines woven into one.

مندي
Al Zayt Mandi — fragrant rice slow-cooked beneath smoke-infused lamb, served on a traditional red platter with lemon and green chilli
— 01

MANDI

Yemeni-rooted rice slow-cooked beneath tender, smoke-infused meat. Aromatic, layered, unforgettable.

الفحم
— 02

ALFAHAM

Marinated chicken kissed by open charcoal — the signature of every Arabian feast, finished with our house spice.

برياني
Al Zayt Biryani — saffron-yellow long-grain rice, slow-steamed with Kerala spices, fresh coriander and house-made tomato sauce
— 03

BIRYANI

Long-grain rice, hand-ground masala, sealed and slow-steamed Kerala style. The plate our regulars never skip.

شاورما
— 04

SHAWARMA

Hand-stacked, slow-turned, hot off the spit. Wrapped in fresh kuboos with garlic sauce and house pickle.
