صاج وسيخ
A cafeteria counter in Al Karama serving chicken and beef shawarma, saj wraps, mixed grill plates and broasted chicken, with karak and fresh juice at the window. The menu reads like a ticket board, with combos for the walk-up crowd and most prices under AED 25.

Ten fictional restaurants, written so we could show the range. Every menu here is real QaiMa output.
صاج وسيخ
A cafeteria counter in Al Karama serving chicken and beef shawarma, saj wraps, mixed grill plates and broasted chicken, with karak and fresh juice at the window. The menu reads like a ticket board, with combos for the walk-up crowd and most prices under AED 25.
ديرة دسترخوان
A family karahi house on a Deira side street where the menu is built around shared plates: karahi by the half or full, biryani by the pot, and breads that arrive straight from the tandoor. The bilingual card lists half and full prices side by side so tables of every size can order without asking.
مزة النهدة
A Lebanese family restaurant on a residential street in Al Nahda, where the charcoal grill and the manakish oven run side by side and most tables order mezze to share. The menu keeps the cold and hot mezze up front, prices the grills for families, and prints Arabic first because that is how the neighbourhood reads it.
مقهى روى
A courtyard café inside a converted warehouse. The menu is an A5 booklet reprinted each season, with the Arabic set beside the English on every page.
سهر لاونج
A shisha lounge in a converted Al Quoz warehouse, where the menu is a slim card that fits the holder on every table. Shisha flavours lead, followed by karak, mocktails and small plates that suit a long evening.
كشتة
Open from October to March, on a dune platform outside the city. Guests read by lantern light, so the type is set larger and the ink runs warm on dark.
بيت البحر
A pearl-diving family's fish house, three generations on. The menu borrows the family's dhow — rope borders, sails and pearls — and the catch section is reprinted whenever the boats change.
نونا فيرا
A family trattoria on the walk, run by two sisters. The pasta list changes with what arrives each week, so the design stays and only the dishes are swapped.
سومي
Fourteen seats around a charcoal counter. The menu is a slim DL card reprinted from the same file, so only the prices and the day's fish move.
لا ريف
A forty-cover bistro that changes its plat du jour weekly. The menu is a trifold with the panel order set for roll-folding, so the cover always lands on the front.
Every example carries Arabic on every dish, set right-to-left in a typeface matched to the design. Turn a page over and the layout mirrors. QaiMa sets the Arabic you give it; it does not translate for you.
Arabic menu designEach page is an exact A4, A5, DL or trifold panel with 3 mm bleed and crop marks, exported as a PDF/X-1a in CMYK with a FOGRA39 output intent. Switch on “Print sheet” above to see the marks a print shop in Dubai, Sharjah or Abu Dhabi expects.
Menu printing in DubaiThe phone beside each page shows the free QR menu built from the same data: Arabic or English, dietary filters, sold-out marks and WhatsApp ordering, with no app and no commission. It sends a message, not a payment.
