karak and rigag - كرك ورقاق

we triedkarak& rigag located in al mamzar for the first time and omg i became a hardcore fan of them instantly. serves a wide range of food and beverages with an emarati twist.
everything that we tried was perfect.
a good place to car hop and chill.
beautiful outdoor swings seating arrangement. friendly staff too.

we ordered the below:

🍝alfredo pink sauce chicken pasta - 10/10 - aed33 - my fav. the best pink sauce pasta i have ever tried. served hot. flavor to die for. blend was perfect. quantity enough for 2 people.

🥞mix cocktail pancakes - 10/10 - aed23 - consists of lotus, kinder, nutella and white chocolate mini pancakes. fluffy and soft. heavenly. impossible to resist. cravings satisfied.

🥤blueberry mojito with 7up - 9/10 - aed15 - ahh, so refreshing.🤤

food: great snacks and some lovelykaraki had from here with a couple of friends
service: great
vibe: great

loved the fries and the packaging is very neat it was the first time i ordered delivery other wise i always go there and enjoy the shakes n chebab. if possible you could try to minimize waste n pack normally with akarakn rigag sticker on top of packaging n that aldo works as a tamper seal. just a suggestion

this place is usual spot forkaraktea. this time tried their new menu.. fries with chicken it was amazing.. the kabab roll was perfect.. the winner was the dessert it was outstanding!! go try them out!

winters in dubai is all about being outdoors and enjoying the weather.karak& rigag is a cute little cafe, located on a very busy strip in mamzar. i really like the swings concept as seating. although limited seating, you manage to find a table. the staff is really friendly and they keep checking up on you from time to time.

the rolls here are really tasty. my personal fav is the chicken mayo garlic roll and thekaraktea is really good too.

it’s a little bit overpriced for the area, but the food is good.

never got my food.
a very enthusiastic guy took my order and after 20 minutes of waiting in my car, i asked him about my order and why it wasn't ready yet. and he tells me that he "forgot".
yup, forgot!

20 minutes of my life that i'll never get back. sigh. thankskarakand rigag for the amazing service.

located in jumeirah road, good place. have nicekaraktea and good friendly staff. prices are good this value for money it’s a small place. food is good and nice mix of local and other cuisines. opens late till 4am.

so this is my i guess 3-4 time atkarak,and i would say its amazing for their dessert things. we have tried their mix platter of pancakes,brownie box and pancakes with strawberries and white chocloate and i would say they are amazing actully.
one must try their dessert and definately i am going back every time and wana try their various dishes.

we were excited to try outkarak& rigag at al mamzar & we had a more than happy experience. it’s not your averagekaraktea joint. they serve emarati food with a twist, burgers, pasta, shakes and desserts. 

we dug into their menu and found out they had loads to offer. the restaurant is small so there is not much space for the dining area inside the restaurant. the outdoor seating is pretty cosy with swinging chairs. 

we started withkaraktea. they have a lot ofkarakand milk in many flavour varieties. we also wanted to try out zaafran (saffron) tea but it wasn’t available. 

the rigag here is a must try. the rigag is a wafer-thin bread and is well-known in the wider gulf region. it’s freshly cooked in house over a large pan and stuffed with good portions of cheese, veggies and meat/chicken (stuffing as per your selection of pizza). we couldn’t stop at one slice and one could feel the flavours in every bite. we tried the chicken pizza rigag. we were stunned by how tasty this thing could be. 

for milkshakes, we tried the lotus shake. they have a good range of chocolate shakes too. would try the other shakes next time we visit as the lotus shake was excellent. 

rolls are another speciality of this restaurant. we tried the chicken mayo garlic roll and we must admit that this was the best roll we ever had. the flavours were tantalizing and literally, all our taste buds and senses were awakened. they claim this is one of their best selling items, and it has 100 reasons to be so!!

we then tried the alfredo pink pasta which was creamy and rich in flavour. it was really creamy and the sauce was top notch. the pasta range is very limited on the menu and we definitely were glad to order this. 

for fries, we ordered the peri peri fries. as the name suggests, the fries were spicy and satisfying. 

we couldn’t miss trying the desserts, so we called for traditional luqaimat in dibs (date syrup). you can choose from honey, lotus and nutella as well. and also, we called for brownie heaven cake which we totally loved. it was served with vanilla ice cream and we finished it in no time! 

parking could be an issue during the weekend but you can also comfortably side park your car and munch on the food seated in your ride. the staff takes your order from your car and delivers it to you as well.  

we left with satisfied tummies and a never forgetful experience. we would definitely come back here.

karak & rigag opened its all new branch in mamzar area and i was invited to review the same. it has a small outdoor area with swinging chair and beautiful breeze from the beach. its a great place to enjoy hot tea along with with crispy rigag of different varieties. we chose to have akarakginger,karaksaffron and ordinarykaraktea.karakginger was the best among all. saffron tea could have been a little better.

this emirati gem located in the food lane of mamzar has a lot to offer with not a lot of stretch to your pockets.karakand rigag takes a contemporary take on local soul food. open from morning to late at night, the place is perfect to visit for some delicious offerings!. i was here on a weekend; the eatery has a gorgeous outside swing seatings with just the perfect lighting. since it’s a small gem, there are limited seats available; however, the entire look given to this place is amazing! their menu is wide with a lot of varieties which will confuse as to what to order. the staff was kind enough to recommend us the best sellers! we tried the below dishes from the main menu:

ordered theirkarakchai. loved it to the last sip. their ambience is cute with chair swings. service is super quick. friendly staff. recommended tokaraklovers.

swings to rest those tired legs and lip smacking pancakes made our experience atkarakn rigag lovely.. definitely coming back here. and do try the blueberry mojito!!

tried theirkarakand cream kunafa. theirkarakhad more of cardamom flavor, and their kunafa tasted average. will come back to try more of their dishes.

tried their cheesy fries andkarakchay. the cheesy fries were 3.8/5 as i felt the cheese was not that melting and hardened a bit while the fries were getting cold . the chay was great for those people who who really preferkarakchay like me. for my husband it was a little morekarakas he likes more milk in it. i would go there again for tea. the place is really nice with nice seating area outside too when the weather is cold
