What is the best way to order kalle pache for a group in Dubai?
The easiest way to order kalle pache for a group in Dubai is to choose one of our communal platters, sized for 1, 2, 3, or 6 people, and add a shared spread of sangak bread, pickles, and doogh. At Shaun the Sheep (Kalle Pache) on 64 Jumeira Street, kalle pache has always been a shared food — a copper pot at the centre of the table that everyone reaches into. Feeding a crowd is simply that spirit, scaled up.
Kalle pache is the traditional Tehran-style slow-cooked lamb head and trotters, known across the Gulf and Iraq as baja / الباجة. Because our broth simmers roughly fourteen hours before dawn, it is built for gathering, lingering, and passing plates around — exactly what a family lunch, an office order, or a weekend get-together calls for.
Which platter size should I order for my group?
Our platters come in four communal sizes so you can match the order to the head count without over-ordering. As a rule of thumb, plan one 6-person platter for every six guests, then add a Special Mix or extra à la carte pieces if your group loves variety. The table below is a practical starting point.
| Group size | Suggested order | Add for variety |
|---|---|---|
| 1 person | 1-person platter | Brain soup or plain broth |
| 2 people | 2-person platter | Extra tongue or trotters |
| 3–4 people | 3-person platter (+ a few extra pieces) | Special Mix |
| 6 people | 6-person platter | Lamb cheek + brain |
| 10–12 people | Two 6-person platters | Special Mix + extra sangak |
Appetites vary, so if your table leans hungry, size up rather than down — kalle pache reheats gently and leftovers are welcome the next morning.
What should I add to make it a full spread?
A great group order is more than meat. Round out any platter with warm sangak bread to tear and share, our seven-year garlic torshi and pickles to cut the richness, and chilled doogh, the salted yogurt drink, to keep the table refreshed. Many guests also add a pot of plain broth or brain soup so lighter eaters have something gentle to start with. These sides are what turn a platter into a proper Persian-style feast.
Can you deliver a group order across Dubai?
Yes — we deliver across Dubai, with a delivery fee set per area and chosen at checkout, so a large order can arrive hot at a home, a majlis, or an office. You can also collect the order yourself or dine in at our table. Because the kitchen runs 24 hours, 7 days, we can serve an early dawn breakfast in the traditional way or a late-night gathering just as easily. For bigger orders, placing them a little ahead helps us time the platters to your arrival.
How do groups usually enjoy kalle pache here?
Kalle pache is collagen- and gelatin-rich, thanks to the bones and trotters, and it has long been valued as a traditional restorative broth — many people find it deeply satisfying and warming, especially in the morning. Exact nutrition depends on the cuts and portions you choose, so we keep it simple: hearty, shared, and made the way it has been for generations. Whether you are hosting family or feeding the office, the table does the rest.
