Introducing our most beloved item, Kebab Koobideh

A favourite amongst all Persian restaurants in Dubai. A dish in Persian cuisine that emphasises on the art of grilling and the rich culinary heritage of Iran. This delicious kebab, traditionally made from ground lamb or beef, or a mixture of both, is not merely a dish but a cultural emblem that brings families and friends together around a grill and in this case, dining at Food Bazaar. A renowned Iranian restaurant located in Dubai that serves one of a kind Kebab Koobideh.

Its unique preparation is where the magic of Koobideh begins

The meat or a mixture of lamb and beef is meticulously minced to achieve a fine and uniform texture. They do incorporate a heathy amount of fat as well in the mincing process. This process is crucial as it ensures the kebab remains tender and juicy when grilled. The minced meat is then mixed with finely chopped onions, which adds moisture and a subtle sweetness, enhancing the flavor profile of the kebab. To avoid a watery mixture, the onion water is squeezed out before mixing with the meat. At the end a symphony of spices, including salt, pepper, and sometimes turmeric or saffron, is blended into the mixture, infusing the meat with aromatic notes.

One of the unique aspects of Koobideh is the way it is shaped and cooked

 The seasoned meat is moulded onto wide, flat skewers, which are then grilled over an open charcoal flame. The skewers play a vital role in the cooking process, allowing the heat to penetrate evenly, creating a charred exterior while keeping the interior juicy and flavourful. The sight and sound of Koobideh sizzling on the grill is a delight to all Iranians from all over the country and those who live abroad.

Koobideh is traditionally served with fluffy saffron rice and complimented with a knob of butter that melts and combines with the Persian rice, creating a delicious complement to the kebab.
