Where is Shaun the Sheep on Jumeira Street?
Shaun the Sheep is at 64 Jumeira Street, Jumeirah 1, towards the beach end of the road, on the same stretch of Jumeira Street that carries you past low villas, quiet side lanes, and the run of shops and cafes around La Mer. It is a Persian kalle pache specialist, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and it has fed this neighbourhood at hours when most of Jumeirah has its shutters down.
If you are already in Jumeirah 1, you are already in the right neighbourhood. This is not somewhere you cross the city for and then find a tourist menu waiting. It is a local room on a local road. A fuller orientation lives in our guide to kalle pache near me in Jumeirah.
What is this part of Jumeirah 1 actually like?
The beach end of Jumeira Street has its own character. It is residential first: villas behind garden walls, a bakery, a laundry, small clinics and salons, the ordinary furniture of a lived-in district. Closer to the water the mood loosens into the beachside stretch around La Mer, with its boardwalk crowd, its swimmers, and its evening strollers.
That mix puts an unusual set of people under one roof. Persian and Iraqi families who have eaten kalle pache their whole lives. Regulars who come for head meat and a kettle of tea and nothing else. Neighbours coming off a late shift. And people who came up off the sand at midnight and realised they were hungry.
Is anything open around here through the night?
Very little in this pocket of Jumeirah is, which is the plain reason so many people end up at our tables. The kitchen runs all night, every night. Two crowds use that differently. The late one arrives after the beach has emptied and the road has gone quiet. The early one arrives before sunrise, because kalle pache is traditionally a dawn meal and because eating before the heat arrives is simply more pleasant. There is more on that rhythm in our piece on late-night food in Dubai.
What should I order the first time?
| If you want | Ask for |
|---|---|
| A proper introduction | Single Dish: lamb cheek, one trotter, half a brain, half a bread |
| A bigger appetite | Double Dish, or the Special Mix |
| One cut only | Lamb Cheek, Tongue, Trotters, Tripe, Head Meat, Brain or Eye |
| Something gentler | Brain Soup, or Deezi |
| A shared table | The 3-person or 6-person platter |
Whatever you choose, add sangak straight from the oven, aged garlic torshi or mixed torshi to cut the richness, and doogh or a kettle of tea alongside. The lamb is halal.
Do I need to book, and can I have it delivered?
Walk-ins are the norm, and reservations are possible when you are bringing a group; the difference is set out in our note on booking versus walking in. Inside there is seating and table service, the entrance is wheelchair accessible, and cards, cash and digital payments are all accepted. Pickup is straightforward, and delivery reaches all 141 Dubai areas, with the fee for your area shown at checkout.
For anything not listed here, such as a particular seating need or what is available on the day, call 04 321 8882 before you set out, or ask when you arrive. That is faster and more honest than guessing.
