Kanoon Smoked Meat and Cafe

Aye t̾e̾r̾p̾y̾fam ya guy took a date out to KSM almost the minute I heard about a middle eastern smokehouse.... Pulled up and they had done a lot of renovation to this location with legit results. The vines are in line w/ the food, the interior is spacious and the staff is friendly on first impress... Now to the friggin eats!... they brought us a complementary starter of roasted potatoes and a fattoush salad which were a very nice way to kick things off We ordered the sambousek to as an app and they're like a middle eastern empanada (a hit ), really super flavor filling. We both ordered mains Shish tawook And a mixed grill. The mains were a knockout....so good, bursting with flavor in every bit and seasoned just right. Man I really liked the choices, biting into that chicken made me feel like a sheik in abu dhabi being feed by hand 😎 As for dessert, so long had it been since I had had knafe... a dish that i can best describe as a middle eastern cheese danish. Its was soooo good n the perfect cherry to top off a great meal. Staff were friendly and a tentative the whole time n did I mention the mint lemonade? Cuz i sure should've!! 🔥 Will definitely be back again for round 2!!

Kanoon has been on our bucket list since they opened, and we’re so happy we finally checked it out! We heard it’s crazy on the weekends, so we visited on a Monday night, which was a great choice because it was super chill. The staff were so attentive and friendly! All of the meats were excellent, with the short rib being my favorite - it literally fell right off the bone! The presentations here are impressive and definitely match the quality of the meal you’re receiving. You won’t even miss that they don’t have alcohol because the non-alcoholic mojitos are so refreshing. I didn’t know they had such unique desserts too! So many Dubai chocolate options, and the sushi crepe was SO good! I’m so glad I live close by, we’ll definitely be back!

⸻ I had the chance to enjoy Dubai Chocolate while sitting outside in their cozy outdoor seating area, and it was such a lovely experience. The chocolate was rich and delicious , perfect for a sweet treat. What made it even better was the atmosphere. The lights at night created a soft, magical glow, making it feel peaceful and relaxing. It’s a great spot to unwind, enjoy dessert, and spend time with friends or family. Definitely recommend it for a calm evening out!

We came to Kanoon yesterday as a party of 24 to celebrate Eid and everything exceeded our expectations! Sandy provided absolutely amazing service so attentive and kind. The food was beyond delicious, and just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, the dessert was fantastic too. The owner made sure every table received top-notch service which really stood out. There was even an incredible show and birthday celebrations that added to the atmosphere. We had a great time at Kanoon, not just for the food, but for the ambiance and fun experience. Highly recommend!

Hello everyone, I we wanted to share with everyone a restaurant that weIl… I could call my favorite place to eat. Well, well, well!!! I always say we, because I usually dine out with my husband. He is not the picky eater, it’s me. So, let’s start with the ambiance of the restaurant. It is wonderful, warm, friendly, and accommodating to all. If you want to eat in your Sunday best, club outfit, or your hoodie and jeans, this restaurant welcomes everyone with open arms. It is a bit pricey, and it’s a NO PORK HERE RESTAURANT,halal smokehouse. We were greeted at the door by a very pretty young lady who was very welcoming and accompanied my request to be seated in an area away from a lot of traffic. Now, here comes the part why the service part received a 2 star…. We sat and waited for about 15 minutes before our server Y introduced himself and proceeded to take our order. This was one of the first times in my life I knew what I wanted and I was ready to place my order with complete confidence. I wanted the smoked meat platter, coffee, and the Hot flaming chicken appetizer. Our server stated “I’m sorry we don’t have that tonight 😢…WHAT!! I was so upset 😭 I wanted to cry 😤. I had called ahead to make sure that they had the lamb chops for my husband, but didn’t think to ask about shredded beef.(they didn’t have the lamb chops on our first visit). I was directed by the server Y, who clearly didn’t know what the heck he was doing, that they did have the chicken smoked meat platter. Who the heck wants chicken when they have just ordered shredded beef ? I was ready to get up and leave because I was so disappointed. My husband was trying to find alternative options for me, but I had already perused the menu on our previous visit and knew there wasn’t anything else I wanted to have that night. We had to send him away, and had listened to the more seasoned waitress as she read off all the options and specials to the guests at her table. I finally just decided, after pouting 😡 for a few minutes to just stick with our appetizers the flaming hot chicken wings. They are the best chicken wings I have ever had in my life. I love the sauce that they put on them. Also, they brought out a small salad ( for the both of us) and coleslaw, one white potato cut in half, a 1/4 of a sweet potato.) The salad is bland, so I added the salsa sauce, red cabbage and pickled vegetables from the My husband’s plate. It finally turned things around for me. My husband really enjoyed the lamb, he is not very picky, but in a conversation, he said that it was a little fatty, and for the price charged, it could have been a little bigger. Overall, if the availability of things on the menu was more consistent, this restaurant would be a top contender for me.

My wife and I *finally* stopped in for an early Saturday dinner after driving by for months and wanting to try! We were not disappointed! After placing our initial order it took a bit for apps to come out as they were just starting dinner service but brought out some free potatoes and sweet potatoes to munch on which was great and held us over! We started off with a Smoked Wing appetizer. They came out sizzling on a skillet to my amazement and we're to die for! It was a sweet BBQ sauce with a tiny kick to it with lots of flavor and the meat fell right off the bones.. Perfectly juicy and soft as you'd expect for a smoked wing! The out came out mains. Our smoked rib and smoked brisket platters were brought out covered and uncovered once they got to the table with smoke from their smoker... Real interesting! Everything was displayed super fancy with plenty of veggies and pickled carrots and beats along with garlic and olives. I loved their ribs... Fall off the bone. Well done but still juicy and very tender with not a lot of fat..perfect cuts! Dipped in their BBQ they were so good! The briquet was also very good, I just happened to favor the ribs more. It was so tender it would slide apart without using a knife.. Done absolutely perfectly! The smoked rice was interesting, however I was way too full to sample much of it! Dinner for two was $110 or so. However we went home with a full meal of meat for both us us to have another full meal and then some! Come hungry! The lemonade was also to tie for! It reminded me a non alcoholic mojito almost.. Looking forward to trying it in the summer! Will be back again soon! My suggestion: Come with a party of 3 or 4 at least to share and fully sample their Smoked meat platter!

The food was a little pricey for it to not have much flavor. The service was pretty slow. Three people at different points came to the table, but only one spoke. The other two didn't even respond when I said thank you. They have cute fire shows, that were nice to see.

I went three times in one month even though I live a whole hour away. As soon as we walked in the door we felt welcomed like family by the manager himself. Plenty of waiters walking around and extremely helpful. The manager was going table by table making sure everyone was good even though he was fasting himself. Our food came out very quickly especially considering it was a busy Ramadan night. The food was delicious and they have good portions. The crepes tasted like the ones at home, and let’s not forget the fire show!!! They even do a mini show at your table if you have a birthday. I will definitely be coming back with more family and friends soon!
