Who eats at Alvand

A table for every community.

Mezze, charcoal lamb, family platters, fresh juices and Arabic-speaking staff. A favourite for Emirati, Saudi, Egyptian and Levantine guests in Deira.

Spiced kebabs, slow-cooked stews and biryani for the whole family. We cater mehndi and nikah events across Dubai.

Afghan guests

Lamb chops, charcoal koobideh and saffron rice — Persian and Afghan tables share the same soul.

Iranian families

The original recipes — koobideh, barg, joojeh, ghormeh sabzi and Persian breakfast — exactly the way Tehran does it. Since 1991.

Filipino & Asian guests

Halal chicken biryani with saffron rice at Alvand Restaurant Dubai

More than kebab

Biryani, mandi-style rice, stews & mezze.

Alvand started as a Persian kitchen in 1991, but the menu grew with the city. Today the same kitchen sends out chicken biryani for an Indian family, a lamb mandi-style platter for an Arab table, and a koobideh for an Iranian regular — all from the same charcoal mangal.
