Our address is short enough to keep in your head: 64 Jumeira Street, Jumeirah 1, Dubai. This page is not about the food. It is about the last part of the journey, when you are already on your way and only need to find the door.
What is the exact address, and what should you type into your map app?
Put this into the search box, exactly as written:
Shaun the Sheep, 64 Jumeira Street, Jumeirah 1, Dubai
Two small things are worth knowing. The first is the spelling. The street is written Jumeira Street and the district around it is Jumeirah 1, with the extra letter on the end. Both forms are in ordinary use here, and a search box will sometimes treat them as two different words. If one gives you nothing useful, try the other.
The second is the number. 64 is the part that takes you to a door rather than to a road, so search for the number together with the street rather than the street on its own. If your phone is on a visitor SIM and the results keep coming back from another country, use the coordinates below instead.
What should you tell a taxi or ride-hail driver?
You will not need to explain Jumeira Street to a driver. What a driver cannot guess is where along it you want to stop, and that is the whole problem. Give the three things that narrow it down, in order: the street, the district, the number. Jumeira Street, Jumeirah 1, building 64. Then add that it is a restaurant and that it is open, because at three in the morning that is not something a driver will assume. In a ride-hail app, set the destination pin yourself on the coordinates below, and look at where it has landed before you confirm.
| How you are arriving | What to give the driver or the app | Worth having ready |
|---|---|---|
| Taxi hailed on the street | “Jumeira Street, Jumeirah 1, number 64” | The map pin open on your phone to show |
| Ride-hail app | The destination pin set on 25.228261, 55.260516 | Your phone to hand in case the driver calls |
| Driving yourself | 64 Jumeira Street in the navigation | A proper read of the signs wherever you stop |
| Collecting a pickup order | The order placed before you set off | The name and number on the order |
What are the map coordinates, and when should you use them instead?
25.228261, 55.260516
Paste the pair, comma and all, into the search box of whichever map you use. Every mainstream map app reads two numbers in that form as a location and drops a pin on it, so there is nothing left to spell, translate or mishear. Save them as a favourite and you can forward them to a driver, or to whoever is meeting you there. A screenshot of a map is easy to misread; a pair of coordinates is not. It is worth having the pin saved before you need it.
What can we honestly tell you about parking, and what will we not claim?
Here is the honest answer, and it is deliberately short. We will not print parking rules, tariffs, zone numbers, enforcement hours or a count of spaces, because none of that is ours to promise. Arrangements on a Dubai street change, and the only authority that matters is the sign nearest to where you have actually left the car, on the day you left it there. A wrong answer about parking costs you more than no answer at all.
So park the way you would anywhere else in the city: find the nearest sign, read it, and follow what it says rather than what the car in front of you is doing. If parking is the part you were dreading, two things remove the question: be dropped off and let the car go, or order for pickup. Delivery removes it too, and the fee depends on your area and is shown at checkout.
What should you do if you are outside and still cannot see us?
Call +971 4 321 8882. It is the shortest way out, and there is no bad hour to use it, because the restaurant is open around the clock.
When you call, describe what you can see rather than where you think you are: the building on your left, the direction the traffic is moving, what you passed a moment ago. That places you faster than a guess at a street name. If the driver is the one who is lost, hand the phone over, quicker than translating directions twice. Our site is in English, Arabic and Farsi, so the ordering pages read the same way whichever of the three you are in.
Does the hour you arrive change anything?
Not at our end. The kitchen runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week: no closing time to beat, no last orders, no wasted trip. Turn up at nine in the evening or at four in the morning and the same pot is on. Dawn is the traditional hour for this dish and still the hour many regulars keep, and there is more on that in why kalle pache is eaten at dawn and in the four in the morning bowl.
What the hour changes is the road, and we will not put a number on your journey, because we cannot see your route. One practical note instead: an order can be placed for a future time rather than for now. If you are collecting on the way somewhere, setting the time in advance means the bag is waiting for you rather than cooking.
What is worth checking before you leave home?
Five minutes at this end saves the whole annoyance at the other.
- Save the coordinates as a favourite in your map app, not in a message you will have to scroll back for.
- Put our number in your phone before you go, so it is one tap away from the pavement.
- Decide what you are doing: sitting down, collecting, or having it brought to you. Delivery, pickup or dine-in goes through the trade-off.
- Check who is coming with you. A first-timer is easier to bring along once you have read the beginner's guide.
- Charge the phone. Everything above depends on it.
If you would rather see the food before you set off, the menu lists all of it: brain, tongue, eye, meat, tripe, trotters, meat and fat, the special mix, soup and brain soup, the single and double dishes, platters for three and for six, deezi, sangak and torshi, with doogh to drink. The lamb is halal. Dining in is the version with the bread hot on the table.
Once more, so you need not scroll back: 64 Jumeira Street, Jumeirah 1, Dubai. Coordinates 25.228261, 55.260516. Phone +971 4 321 8882, at any hour of any day. We will see you at the door.
