If you want Kabuli pulao and a charcoal grill to share, make Wakha in Al Nahda 1 the dinner plan and give the kitchen time to cook. After midnight, call Pak Darbar near Carrefour on Amman Street for biryani, daal or a grill order. That Al Nahda 2 branch is listed until 2 am. For a waffle or pancakes after dinner, Bubbly Boba at Union Coop Al Nahda 2 publishes a 2 am close of its own. Wakha branch directory · Pak Darbar branch and hours · Bubbly Boba Al Nahda café

Wakha in Al Nahda 1 for a late dinner together
At Wakha, the two things to build a meal around are rice and meat. The restaurant describes its Kabuli pulao as long-grain rice cooked in seasoned broth with lamb, carrots and raisins. Add charcoal-grilled lamb tikka chops if you want something off the fire alongside the rice. The restaurant describes seasoning its chops with salt and the meat’s own fat. If you’d rather eat with bread, ask about the dumpukht or rosh, a slow-cooked meat dish the operator serves with rice or bread. Wakha’s branch directory and dishes
This is a better fit for a table that can agree on a few shared dishes than a stop where everyone has ten minutes and a different order. Wakha describes a Shinwari-style service in which diners can choose a cut for the kitchen to prepare. If you want a specific cut, put that question first when you call. If you’re coming alone and mostly want rice, ask what size of pulao is available before adding a separate grill. The branch has its own menu, so use the one labelled Al Nahda when comparing portions or deciding what to order. Wakha Al Nahda menu
Use Wakha Restaurant, Sharaf Eddine, Al Nahda 1, Dubai as your destination and +971 4 345 4577 for the branch. The branch map lists noon to midnight Sunday through Thursday and noon to 1 am on Friday and Saturday. Another directory lists midnight daily. Plan dinner with time to order before midnight and treat the extra Friday or Saturday hour as something to confirm by phone. Ask for the last kitchen order for your dish, especially when you want meat cooked to order. A restaurant can still be serving diners who are already seated when the kitchen stops accepting new orders. Wakha branch map · Alternative branch hours
Price a grill and a starter for two
Wakha’s Al Nahda 1 delivery menu lists Kabuli chicken tikka at AED 32 and borani bonjon at AED 32. Together they come to AED 64 before delivery fees. The chicken is charcoal-grilled and comes with Afghan sauce. The borani gives you fried eggplant with tomato, onion and yoghurt, plus bread for scooping. If you want a bone-in grill to share, the AED 65 grilled lamb ribs with the same starter come to AED 97. These are delivery prices. Ask the branch for its current table prices and whether there’s time for the grill if you’re arriving late. Wakha Al Nahda 1 delivery menu
The branch also lists dumpukht rosh at AED 49, with lamb and potatoes cooked slowly in the meat juices and a choice of rice or bread. This suits someone who wants a softer lamb dish with its own starch. If you’re sharing it with someone who wants vegetables, vegetable karahi at AED 32 brings tomatoes and green chillies into the order. Together the two dishes are AED 81 before delivery fees. Ask what bread comes with the rosh and whether the branch can serve both dishes when you arrive. Wakha Al Nahda 1 delivery menu
If you’d rather build dinner around chicken, compare the AED 32 Kabuli chicken tikka with the AED 48 Shinwari chicken karahi. The first is boneless chicken from the charcoal grill. The second is chicken cooked with tomatoes and green chillies. The karahi with two AED 5 Afghan flatbreads comes to AED 58 before fees. It’s a different sort of meal from the tikka and eggplant combination, with bread to tear and dip into the pan. If you want boneless chicken in the karahi, the delivery menu has a separate AED 63 listing. Say which one you mean when ordering. Wakha Al Nahda delivery menu
The restaurant’s shared-table Instagram photo shows flatbread beside a metal platter and vegetables. The caption dates it to an iftar context. It gives a sense of how a shared meal can look. For your dinner, use the Al Nahda menu and ask the branch about portions, especially if you want Kabuli pulao for the whole table. The delivery page does not give a usable pulao price, so ask the restaurant to quote the size you want. Wakha’s shared-table photo · Wakha’s Al Nahda menu
Give the grill time
If the table wants a particular cut, ask about that cut when you call the Al Nahda number. For a group arriving in stages, agree whether you want to wait for everyone to choose the meat or order a dish as soon as the first guests sit down. That distinction matters more near midnight, when your arrival time can be inside the listed hours but too late for a specific dish. On Friday or Saturday, call before relying on the extra hour shown by the map. Wakha operator and branch contact · Al Nahda map hours
Pak Darbar near Carrefour for a later meal in Al Nahda 2
The branch to save is Pak Darbar near Carrefour, Al Reem Building 54, Amman Street, Al Nahda 2, Dubai. Its mobile is +971 56 412 3753 and its landline is +971 4 220 6050. The group also lists a separate Al Nahda restaurant near NMC Hospital and another branch behind Al Nahda Park in Sharjah. If you search for the chain by name, use the street, building and phone together to make sure the map result is the Dubai restaurant near Carrefour. Pak Darbar branch directory · Amman Street branch listing
The map listing for Amman Street gives 4 am to 2 am daily and shows the same mobile number as the operator. Those hours also match the group’s published hours. There’s no separate published cutoff for this branch’s grill or dining room. If you’re passing through at 1 am, call and say when you expect to arrive. For a sit-down meal, ask whether they’re seating and what’s still cooking. For pickup, ask what can be ready by the time you reach Amman Street. Pak Darbar’s food and group hours
Choose a pickup that fits the ride home
For a late pickup, give the kitchen one preferred order and one fallback. The group menu lists kebab biryani and vegetable pulao, as well as fish biryani. Ask which rice dishes are still available at the Amman Street branch. Fish biryani makes sense if the person collecting already knows that is what they want. If you are ordering for two people with different tastes, name both dishes and ask whether the branch can have them ready together. The menu is for the group, so agree on the actual selection and price with the branch. Pak Darbar group menu
If you want something off the grill, the operator lists green chicken tikka and chapli kebab with egg. Ask the branch if it can still cook the dish and whether it can serve it with bread or rice at your collection time. If the group is coming from a shared grill at Wakha, it may only need a separate rice order for someone who missed dinner. If this is dinner for everyone, ask about portions and whether the branch can pack the grill and its accompaniments separately before you settle on the order. Pak Darbar grill and rice menu
The group’s Instagram reel shows marinated pieces above a grill. It illustrates the cooking style. Use the Amman Street number to check whether the grill is taking orders after midnight. The two Al Nahda outlets have different numbers. Before a friend leaves to collect, send the Al Reem Building 54 pin together with the order name and time. If their map shows NMC Hospital, send the Carrefour branch pin again. Pak Darbar’s grill reel · Operator branch directory · Amman Street collection pin
Check whether there is time to sit
Call +971 56 412 3753 or +971 4 220 6050 and give your arrival time. If some guests are still travelling, give the time the last person expects to reach the restaurant. A takeaway can be ready for one collector before the whole group would be seated. If you’re planning dessert at Union Coop afterwards, check the café’s last waffle or pancake order separately. Both stops show a 2 am close, so a later savoury order can leave too little time for a second kitchen. Pak Darbar Al Nahda contacts · Bubbly Boba Al Nahda hours
Bubbly Boba at Union Coop for dessert after dinner
For waffles or pancakes after midnight, go to Shop G-25 on the ground floor of Union Coop Al Nahda 2. The café lists 10 am to 2 am daily and identifies this branch as a walk-in spot where you can sit or collect an order. The complex also publishes a 2 am finish and describes two entrances, one on the main road and one near the parking lot. If you’re getting there close to closing, call the café on +971 50 996 4839 to check which entrance to use and whether it can still make a hot dessert. Bubbly Boba branch and contact · Union Coop hours and entrances
Choose something warm to share
The café menu lists a classic waffle at AED 24, a chocolate waffle at AED 26 and Nutella or Lotus waffles at AED 28 each. A classic waffle and one AED 5 vanilla ice cream topping come to AED 29 at café prices. That gives you a warm waffle and a cold topping if you’re sharing at the table. For two distinct desserts, a Lotus waffle at AED 28 and classic pancakes at AED 24 come to AED 52. The menu includes VAT in these figures. Delivery prices and fees are set separately. Bubbly Boba café menu
Choose pancakes if you prefer a softer dessert or if you want a different texture alongside a waffle. The menu lists chocolate pancakes at AED 26 and Nutella or Lotus pancakes at AED 28. If you’re taking dessert home, ask the counter whether it can pack an ice cream topping separately. For anyone with an allergy, check ingredients and preparation directly. The café’s menu says it cannot guarantee allergen-free preparation. Bubbly Boba food menu and allergy information
The café’s Instagram reel shows two bright cups beside citrus and strawberries. It gives you a look at the café’s fruit-drink style if you want something cool with a warm dessert. For pickup, use the Al Nahda page or its exact branch link in the app. The brand has other locations and the app checks live service against your address. If you’re meeting someone at Union Coop, send the shop number so they can find the right café inside. Bubbly Boba’s reel · Al Nahda branch ordering links
Match your arrival time to the meal
Dinner around 10:45 pm in Al Nahda 1. Call Wakha first if you want lamb ribs or a pan of karahi. Settle on the dish when you arrange the table so there’s time for it. If your group only needs a quick plate of rice, ask about the pulao size and timing before adding a grill. Wakha Al Nahda contact and menu
A hot meal around 1 am in Al Nahda 2. Start with Pak Darbar near Carrefour. Ask whether the branch is still serving both rice and bread. If you want to sit, confirm there is time for a table. For pickup, have one person place the order and give the collector the same pin. That saves a detour to the hospital-side branch. Pak Darbar Al Nahda contacts · Amman Street branch
Dessert after midnight near Union Coop. Check that Bubbly Boba can still take a waffle or pancake order. If you’re already outside the centre, ask which entrance is open before walking around the building. This stop fits an evening where dinner is already sorted and you still want somewhere to sit for something sweet. Bubbly Boba Al Nahda café · Union Coop Al Nahda entrances
