Mattar Third Culture Barbecue in Dubai is widely acclaimed for its exceptional quality and tender smoked meats. With a near-perfect rating, visitors frequently praise the brisket for being perfectly cooked and juicy. The pastrami Reuben sandwich is a major highlight, often described as 'out of this world,' even if it comes at a premium price. Beyond the food, the service is a recurring theme in reviews, with staff members like Peggy and Shiela noted for their warmth and helpfulness. While the main meats receive universal praise, some diners found the traditional sides like coleslaw and potato salad to be less impressive in comparison. Overall, it is considered a top-tier destination for anyone seeking a satisfying and indulgent BBQ experience in the city.
