Qalat Baalbak, Hessa
8 people recommendvia r/dubai9 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Qalat Baalbak receives repeated recommendations specifically for Hessa Street. Shawarma is a recurring reason to go, and one diner also praises the lamb chops and value. A contrasting first-hand report finds the mezze, shawarma and mixed grill perfectly acceptable but not distinctive. The support is strong, but not every meal produces the same enthusiasm.
