The Ritual

#PhoneFreeDining

The best seasoning for any meal is presence. Hand your devices to Team Kebabiya, and we'll trade them for a quieter, slower, smokier evening — and a small gift on the way out.

  1. 01

    You arrive

    We'll greet you with a warm chai or a cold Sharabiya, and ask if you'd like to take part in #PhoneFreeDining tonight. Always optional, always welcome.

  2. 02

    Devices in

    Phones go into our handcrafted wooden box at your table — locked, safe, and out of sight. Emergencies? Tell us, we'll keep one phone close.

  3. 03

    The meal

    Fire, conversation, shared plates. Without a glowing screen between you and the people across the table.

  4. 04

    A small gift

    On the way out, your devices come back with a small surprise gift from Team Kebabiya — our thanks for putting the table first.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is this mandatory?
Never. It's an offer, not a rule. Take part if it sounds good to you.
What if I'm expecting an important call?
Tell our staff. We'll keep one phone within reach and only interrupt if it rings.
Can I take photos of the food first?
Of course — snap, post, then lock it away. The platter looks better in person anyway.
Does my whole table have to opt in?
Each guest decides. Even one phone in the box changes the feel of the meal.
