Where can I get kalle pache delivered in Downtown, DIFC and Business Bay?
Here is the honest answer for the central business district: there is no kalle pache counter inside the towers of Downtown, DIFC or Business Bay. There is one kitchen — Shaun the Sheep at 64 Jumeira Street, Jumeirah 1 — and it delivers straight into those neighbourhoods, day and night. We are not a chain with an outlet on Sheikh Zayed Road; we are a single copper pot on the coast, a short run inland from your desk. Jumeirah 1 sits right beside the business core, so Downtown, DIFC, the Gate district and Business Bay are among the closest deliveries we make.
What exactly is kalle pache?
Kalle pache (Persian کلهپاچه, known across the Gulf and Iraq as baja / الباجة) is traditional Tehran-style lamb head and trotters, hand-cleaned before dawn and simmered for around fourteen hours in a copper pot with onion, turmeric and garlic, skimmed hourly until the broth turns the colour of strong tea. Trotters served on their own are called paye. You can see the full range — brain, tongue, trotters, lamb cheek, tripe, plain broth, brain soup and the house Special Mix — on the menu and order page.
Why order a protein-rich bowl instead of a desk sandwich?
A wrapped sandwich at your desk is quick, but it is mostly bread and it fades by mid-morning. A bowl of kalle pache is the opposite kind of fuel: warm, slow-simmered and rich in protein, collagen and gelatin from the bones and trotters. Traditionally it was the meal eaten before a long working day began, which is exactly the rhythm of a trading floor, a law firm or an audit deadline. It sits well before a run of back-to-back meetings, and it is something to look forward to rather than eat on autopilot. The exact nutrition depends on the cut and portion you choose, and we share this as culinary tradition, not medical or dietary advice — if you have specific health needs, check with your doctor.
Solo portion or a platter for the team — what should I order?
The menu is built for both the one-person breakfast and the whole floor. Singles let you order exactly one cut for yourself; communal platters serve one, two, three or six and are the simple way to feed a team meeting. Use this as a starting point:
| Situation | What to order | Sides to add |
|---|---|---|
| Solo at your desk | A single (meat, tongue or lamb cheek) or brain soup | 1 sangak, torshi, doogh |
| Two colleagues | A 2-person platter or two singles | 2 sangak, seven-year garlic pickle, tea |
| Small team breakfast (4-6) | One 6-person platter + a Special Mix | 3-4 sangak, doogh |
| Whole floor / client meeting (10+) | Two 6-person platters | Special Mix, plenty of sangak, mixed torshi |
What should a first-timer at the office order?
If colleagues are new to the dish, lean on the gentler cuts — lamb cheek (bonagoosh), tongue (zaban) and plain meat are mild and familiar, and plain broth or brain soup is an easy, comforting start. A Special Mix platter is the diplomat of any shared table, letting everyone try a little of everything. For a bigger group, plan on roughly one 6-person platter per small team, plus a Special Mix to round things out.
How do you deliver to an office tower in DIFC or Business Bay?
Towers are the one place a driver can get lost, so ordering is built around finding you. At checkout you choose your exact area from a dropdown and drop a map pin, and there is room to add your tower name, floor and a note for reception or the security desk. The broth is sealed hot in leak-resistant containers, with the meat, sangak and pickles packed separately so nothing goes soggy in the lift. Add the note that matters most in a corporate building — "call on arrival", "leave at reception", or a meeting-room number — and the handover is clean.
Can I order before an early meeting or on a night shift?
Yes, and this is quietly the most useful fact for the business district. The kitchen runs 24 hours, 7 days a week, so a 6am breakfast before the markets open is no trouble, and neither is a 2am order for a finance or legal team pushing through a deadline. You can also schedule a pre-order for a set time — line up breakfast for a team meeting the night before, and it arrives when everyone sits down rather than after. Because we cook one patient pot rather than reheating small batches, an order at any hour comes from the same broth we serve at our own counter.
Delivery, pickup or a table nearby?
All three are open around the clock. Delivery brings the bowl to your tower anywhere in Dubai, with the fee shown by area at checkout before you pay — and it is free on orders over AED 300, which a team platter with sangak, pickles and doogh reaches easily. Pickup lets you collect fresh from Jumeira Street on your way in. And when you would rather step away from the desk entirely, you can reserve a table for the full ritual — warm bread from the counter and steam rising off the bowl. All our lamb is halal, in line with UAE law and standards. Ready when you are: start your order and pick your area at checkout.
