The restaurant is ideal for Arabic street food and it is highly recommend. Some of the recommended dishes from the restaurants are:
Manakeesh: it is served on the table right from the oven which is why it is hot and fresh. Manakeesh at Zawyet Maryam is soft and cheesy, definitely a must try.
Chicken Shawarma Platter: It is for sure one of the best Shawarmas available in Dubai. It is filled with well-cooked chicken pieces along with fresh veggies. They provide a decent quantity and can be shared by two persons.
Half Chicken: I’m glad I ordered the chicken because it tasted as good as I expected it would. It was a totally irresistible roasted chicken and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
