The 44 best places for kabsa in Dubai

Food is tasty, and the family sitting area gives you a unique experience. Madghoot meat is the best thing to try

One of the oldest and finest Mandi restaurants in Dubai. Its always satisfying Good family dining place They have variety of dishes Parking is easy and available Recommended indeed

One of the best restaurants we have visited for more than 7 years periodically, the place only needs some restorations, but the food is delicious and clean for them, the staff is great, the prices are excellent

Amazing mandi, amazing madghout! Since 15 years till now , quality of food never went down. Al Marhabani will always be our number one choice whenever we want to eat mandi, mazbi, or madghout.

I love this place a lot, I’m your customer for more than 15 years, I love you food, staff and atmosphere a lot. Thank you ❤️

The food is absolutely delicious! Well prepared and cooked! I usually come here very often - The ambience and hospitality makes it enjoyable.

Never Dissapointed when coming here keeping the traditions and visiting marhabani since 2005

The food at Al Zain is delicious and enjoyable! However, the Arabic salsa sauce is sometimes watery and lacks flavor. Service varies; some servers are friendly while others forget orders, so consistency would help. The atmosphere is nice but a bit simple compared to other Mandi restaurants. Overall, I appreciate the quality of food and hope to see some improvements!

Absolutely fantastic experience! The seafood was incredibly fresh and full of flavor — every dish was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The service was equally impressive: attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. The team went above and beyond to make our meal special. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves great food and top-notch service . Can’t wait to come back when i am in Dubai

The food is always so good, which is why we keep coming back! The staff are super friendly and helpful, especially Nawal — she gave us the biggest smile and warm welcome as soon as she saw us.

Honestly, everything was beyond amazing! The atmosphere was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. Everyone was so friendly and made us feel right at home. Huge thanks to the Shahbandar team for such a wonderful experience — definitely not our last visit

Nice ambiance for family and friends. Food is very fresh and delicious. The service was quick and excellent.

Amazing food, excellent service, and great value for the price. The only note is that the ambient temperature could be a little cooler for more comfort.

Authentic Mandi, first time I had so delicious Mandi chicken cooked tender soft and juicy served with gravy sauce. The plate portion is generous, tasty, and fills you up. Service was very good with a speed. Situated in busy places Shaikh Zayed road, restaurant usually busy. Good for tourist. Enough RTA parking, prices are ok for the portion and the service. Place is quite and reasonably family oriented. Highly recommend

Oh. My. Gosh!! This isn’t just food—it’s food from heaven! I’m talking about the most divine Mandi soup, the kind that warms your soul. And then—bam!—that huge crunchy bread with black seeds hits your taste buds, fresh out of an angel’s oven. Pair it with that Nashif Crispy mutton, juicy, tender, soaked in rich tomatoes and onions—a full bowl of pure flavor explosion. The price? Perfect. Taste? Unbeatable. Quality & Quantity? Worth every dirham. And let me say it loud: In 20 years in Dubai, I’ve never tasted anything like this. This Arabic restaurant isn’t just a hidden gem—it’s a treasure. If you visit Dubai and don’t try this, your trip is officially incomplete! My stomach is full, but my heart wants more… What do I even do now? Stay blessed, stay amazing—you’ve got a fan for life! Highly, highly recommended.

The food was delicious and met expectations. However, the customer service needs improvement — staff would benefit from better training in hospitality and communication.

Raidan Mandi Restaurant is located in Al Nhada1. Its quite a huge place. They have table seating and also carpet seatings. They have private sections for family/couples. The ambience is good since they have recently renovated. The service is quick and the staff is kind. We ordered their Chicken Kabsa. They served it with a nice and warm soup/broth to begin with and a salad. The Kabsa was quite average. I wouldn’t recommend. Then we ordered Cream Kunafa which was pretty decent and light. To end this meal, they have a kahwa counter at the exit, its pretty good.

Raidan Mandi Restaurant offers delicious and authentic Mandi with generous portions at a reasonable price. The meat is tender, flavorful, and well-cooked. The ambiance is simple but clean, and the service is quick and polite. A great spot for casual dining with family or friends. Slight improvements in seating comfort and presentation could make the experience even better. Overall, a satisfying place for Mandi lovers.

Great food. Do not go close to the closing hours as they run out of rice so you've to wait a little longer for the food to be prepared and served. They apologized and provided complimentaries for the late service. Mandi tasted excellent. Fresh and hot served.

Food was really great very enough for 4 person great taste value of money

One of the best in town with amazing quality, taste, portions and value for money given their competitive prices

One of the best places in Dubai for authentic Yemeni food! We always bring our guests here and everyone loves it. The food is consistently delicious and worth the visit. During busy hours the service can be a little slow since they don’t have a lot of staff, but the taste and quality of the food definitely make up for it. Highly recommended

Not very authentic Yemeni food as it should be as the menu is not full with varieties of Yemenis cuisine, food is ok but prices are more expensive than other Yemeni restaurants. Regarding the service they took too much time to bring the order and at the end they brought the wrong order and we had to wait extra 12 minutes on top of the 25 minute which we waited already. I asked for Pepsi they didn’t bring! The rice is white rice which is not how zorbian or madhabi chicken rice should be! The staff were trying to be nice but they are not organized at all when the restaurant is crowded!

Absolutely loved our experience at Madfoon Al Sadda – Jumeirah! If you’re a fan of authentic Arabic cuisine, this place is a hidden gem. The spicy mandi was the highlight – beautifully spiced, aromatic, and served with perfectly cooked rice and tender meat that just falls off the bone. The level of spice was just right – enough to excite your taste buds without overwhelming the flavors. We also tried their madfoon, and it was equally impressive – slow-cooked to perfection, with a wonderful smoky flavor that’s hard to find elsewhere in Dubai. You can really taste the traditional preparation in every bite. The restaurant itself is very clean, spacious, and welcoming. The decor gives you a traditional Arabic feel, and the staff are polite, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Portions are generous and great for sharing, especially with family or friends. Highly recommend Madfoon Al Sadda for anyone looking for authentic Emirati flavors in a comfortable setting. Will definitely be coming back!

Madfoon Al Sadda in Dubai’s Umm Suqeim is a cozy two‑story Yemeni eatery famed for its tender lamb or chicken Madfoon and Mandi over spiced rice. Traditional majlis seating, generous portions, bottomless tea & kunafa mean authentic, flavorful Arabian dining in a warm family vibe. 

Man, this is the best lamb Mazbi I've ever tried..both me and my wife love it alot. Our 6th day in Dubai and so far this is our No1 restaurant. The only challenge tho, it's not easily accessible without a car. And taking a cab may easily go up to around 40-50aed from city centers. Our last day here the food and environment do not disappoint!

You can find Excellent local emirati foods here… Foods & dessrt are both fresh, tasty & new to us !

I've tried only a few mandi restaurants in the GCC, but this one is so far the best. The place is clean, neat and so crowded on weekends, their staff are welcoming and supportive. As for the food, it's really delicious and fresh, especially the Roca salad and the meat mandi. The meat is very well cooked, and the rice is extremely tasty. We tried Umm Ali for deserts, and it was great as well.

May 2025 Ordered the Meat Mandi through careem and we enjoyed it. The delivery was quick, portions were huge and good for two people. The meat was cooked to perfection and was juicy. Would definitely recommend.

I don’t understand the poor reviews on this restaurant because this restaurant throughly impressed me. Ordered the mandi and fish, and it was so tasty. The rice was delicious the vegetables on the side of the fish were good, the fish was fresh and tasty and seasoned to perfection. The meat fell off the bone and was so delicious. The lentil soup was amazing as well. I enjoyed the restaurant so much so I think about how much I would love to go back. The seating beside the marina is relax and calm, topped with the great food and the good service you can’t go wrong. It’s also decently priced for the location which I hope they don’t change. Thank you for giving me the most enjoyable meal I had in Dubai. I hope to be back and next time I’ll bring my family!

Really nice Yemeni food. Had chicken madhbi with mandi rice, it was so delicious. The staff were very friendly. Location is decent, on the marina walk, and the prices were very fair for the Marina area

I wanted my kids to experience the Mandy and try it for the first time so we chose chicken Mandy and they offered us meat soup. The rice was woow and as per my kids the meat soup was the best and the chicken was amazing. The waiters are so friendly as well.

fresh, tasty food, lots of things to choose from on the plate (mixed grill) well seasoned, lot of sides, originally served - plenty and tasty. I recommend this place 👍

Outstanding service and the food is delicious. Portions very generous. Waiter very friendly and professional. Will definitely come back whenever I visit Dubai again. Thank you Mostafa from a very happy visitor from South Africa.

Best authentic arabic cuisine in the area. We tried the Haneez dish, the meat was so tender and tasty and the Biryani rice was nicely cooked. As it was Ramadan breakfast (Iftar) they offered also complementary soup, green salad, hot salsa, cooked veggies and also dessert with the meal. It was indeed good value for money plus the hospitality was amazing. Ask about a man called "Hassan El Refa‘ey“, he is the best!

HANID SIZE IS LITTLE SMALLER THEN ORHET MANDI AND PRICE ALSO 80 AED As compared to price the should increase the weight of meet like others mandi How ever tast is so nice service is fast and staff is very good behaviour

I am a big fan of this haneth ribs - I eat in lot many Arabic restaurants around uae , compared to that the Taste here is just ok ok —.its grilled but no sala no spice just normal grilled also here no complimentary sweets balls and tea where given by all other Mandi restaurants -

We did Dine in but that didn’t last long. We ordered Chicken Mandi and when it arrived, it was not fresh as yesterday’s letfovers. The waiter was still there and I informed him “Brother this is not fresh, kindly check it”, to which he touched it and said “its fresh and hot, see”. We left and while leaving I said the same thing to the counter person to which he didn’t show a single damn. They literally don’t care about customers and they have put every effort in making their ambiance charming, while letting their service and food quality fall short. For the next time I will buy food from outside and eat it there, since their food is straight from the fridge and their ambiance is memorable.

Best Mandi i ever had, both chicken and mutton. Apart from that their kunafa with cream is exquisite. I haven't tried kunafa withe cheese but still i recommend "kunafa with cream", if you like desserts - you will never regret having it.

Noor Al Mandi is a true hidden gem for lovers of authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. The mandi here is absolutely exceptional — tender, perfectly seasoned meat served over fragrant, fluffy rice that’s infused with just the right blend of spices. Each bite melts in your mouth and leaves you wanting more. What truly sets Noor Al Mandi apart is their kunafa. It’s one of the best I’ve had — warm, crispy on the outside with a rich, creamy center, topped with just the right amount of sweet syrup. It’s the perfect way to end a flavorful meal. The service is friendly, the ambiance is cozy, and the food speaks for itself. If you’re craving a satisfying and traditional dining experience, Noor Al Mandi is a must-visit.

Delicious Middle Eastern fairly priced food serving the best chicken ever! Try their salads and other mezza side dishes at this fuss free traditional restaurant located in AlNadha2 / Al.Qusais. Highly recommended for dining out for two or in tour groups. Friendly and efficient staff can be found at this lovely dining destination. Only 4 stars because it's not top notch fancy but it's perfect for your pocket and your appetite! 😍😎

We were amazed how massive the portion is, compare to Mandi in Abu Dhabi —for the same range of prices too, but a little less salt as per our liking. Over all, a must try!

Ordered Chicken MAndi.. and Got burnt chicken like dry rubber. On complaining them, they said you should have informed us before order. what a joke... non-sense customer service.. i was their regular customer.. i will never order from here again.

This was my first time ordering from this restaurant. I tried the Nahith meat and Fahsa. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing: 1. The portion of rice was the smallest I’ve ever received from a restaurant in the UAE. 2. The meat had an unpleasant smell. 3. The Fahsa had a bitter taste that made it hard to eat. Based on this experience, I will not be ordering from them again.

Tried ordering Half Mandi from Mahareb Restaurant via Noon, but honestly, it was a disappointment. The order didn’t come with the salad or soup as mentioned in the description, it only had a small portion of mandi sauce, and even that was quite less. The whole experience felt incomplete and underwhelming. Was really expecting more, especially from a place known for traditional meals.

Service and food were excellent. We got shoulders and ribs and charcoal chicken and all were great. When we are doing Mandi this place delivers so we tend to choose this one. It's chill. Not trying too hard. Meant to be experienced with friends not for a first date 😄. Prices are very good

Love the food here! Never disappoints! Keep up the great work.. the Fahsa is my fav with hot big bread..

Bad experience they don’t give tomato sauce and charge one cup of yogurt 13 aed Cold rice and meat smell like dry fish Kunafa shown in menu 13 aed they charge 17 bad bad bad experience 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

Nice place to sit with family and have delicious food. We went for breakfast and it was a fantastic experience. The location is good with ample parking space but paid ones, inside it has both table and chairs plus seating area for families.

Ordered Haneet Shoulder lamb Mandi, the dish was served with delicious Yakni (broth soup) as a starter. There were nicely decorated small cabins with Yemen’s, each named after a Yemeni city. While the food was up to the mark (as expected from a Yemini styled Mandi), however quite disappointed with the AC vent that was leaking. Furthermore, as an observer, the advertised board outside the restaurant seems malfunctioned.

Wadi Doan Restaurant offers an authentic Yemeni dining experience that stands out in Dubai. The Mandi and Madhbi dishes are simply exceptional, with perfectly tender meats that are rich in flavor. The Fattah dessert is a must-try, blending dates, fresh cream, and honey beautifully. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, ideal for both casual meals and special gatherings. Service is attentive, making you feel right at home. Whether you're a fan of Yemeni cuisine or new to it, Wadi Doan is a culinary gem worth visiting.

Authentic food at a very reasonable price. Our waiter was excellent also who was super attentive and catered to all our needs.

Amazing place. Compared to the crowded, over rated mandi restaurants with long queues, this is easily one of the best. Went late afternoon amd got seated in a family room immediately. Place was clean, service was prompt and food was very good. Meat was perfection. Highly recommend for a lazy sunday lunches with family if you are a mandi fan.

Had ordered the food through Talabat. The restaurant was kind enough to send me all the pre-requisites. Had ordered the Chicken Madhbi Mandi with additional soup but honestly found it quite bland and tasteless. Was disappointed with the taste as yemenese mandi rice itself has alot of taste. Will not be recommending it further if you're visitng for Madhbi Mandi.

Very nice food. Amazing taste. Good service. Well organized. Good and polite staff.

Great place for Yamani food. The price is a little bet higher than the normal Yamani restaurant, but still acceptable. Food taste amazing and authentic, no matter what dish you order. The have private rooms but they are too small, not ideal for more than 4 max. I went twice, and the service was good in both.

Being born and raised in Saudi Arabia, I have a good sense of what authentic Saudi cuisine should taste like — from the spices to the cooking techniques. I recently visited Saudi Kitchen in Jumeirah, Dubai. The ambience was absolutely amazing, and the service was commendable — warm and attentive throughout. As for the food, while it was decent, it didn’t quite capture the true essence of traditional Saudi flavors. The dishes lacked the depth and authenticity I expected. Technically, I’d rate the food 3 stars, but I’m giving it 4 out of generosity and appreciation for the effort. Overall, considering the beautiful setup, great service, and decent food, I’d give the place a 5-star rating. A nice spot if you’re looking for a pleasant dining experience with a Saudi theme.

One of the best restaurants in Dubai to try authentic Arabic food with an equally authentic ambiance. The dishes are incredibly flavorful, capturing the true essence of Middle Eastern cuisine. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy genuine Arabic hospitality and taste

I’ve been to this restaurant multiple times before and always left impressed, but this visit was beyond disappointing. The food I ordered was completely tasteless and looked nothing like the dish in the photo. The chicken had zero flavor it honestly felt like it was just boiled and thrown on top of the rice. No spices, no seasoning, not even salt. The rice itself was equally bland, with barely any spices or taste. It was just… there. And sadly, I couldn’t even eat it. To make matters worse, the dish arrived at my table in under 5 minutes which clearly means it was pre-cooked and just reheated. No freshness, no care in presentation or taste. What upset me even more was the attitude of the staff. When I raised my concerns, they simply told me, “That’s how we make it,” in a tone that felt like “take it or leave it.” They said they respected my opinion but followed it up with excuses instead of any effort to make it right. Again, I’ve had good experiences here before, which is why I came back, but this was a total letdown. If this is how the food and service are going to be moving forward, I won’t be returning. I’m attaching pictures of what we ordered vs. what we actually received, the difference speaks for itself. it’s absolutely not worth the money.

One of the best Restaurant in town. Must visit if you want to taste arabic food ,Mandi and their traditional sweets and food.Also try their complementary tea and dates

Authentic Saudi food and vibes. Loved kabsa, madfoon and mandi. We visited the place several times and we always choose one of these three. Madfoon has the softest texture of all. Good saudi coffee and dates.

Nice traditional Arabic food served in a beautiful Majlis seating.

The lamb was cooked perfectly. It was so good, juicy, delicious and you keep on eating it. The rice and lamb are serve with yogurt, usually in Malaysia, it serve with broth of lamb, it was my first experience eating with yogurt, not bad combination, will definitely do that next time eating Mandy. Definitely will recommend this place.

Delicious mandi.. enjoyed every bit of it.. !!!

Has some good tasty middle eastern food, great portion, a lot of meat

It's nearly midnight and we're starving. Yes, we're in the usual pickle we find ourselves in and I see the board Mandi Time in a distance. So that's settled, we're having Mandi. Went in, took a look at the space and we realised this is definitely worth a try as we saw a bunch of guys being served a platter of absolute feasts. So we grabbed a table of our own and placed an order for their Meat Mandi. The Mandi came in right after we finished our soup and my oh my oh my, the delight of digging into that masterpiece was the exact relief we were looking for! The meat was so tender that while I was picking the bones out, the meat didn't even bother lifting up. The bones just came out! The rice was well prepped and went absolutely great with the meat. We also placed an order for a side of fries and I'm quite sure I got about nearly thrice the portion offered in fast food chains for about 12 dirhams. Amazing service, great food and stunning ambience! Totally worth it!

I have been a loyal customer for them since 3-4 years ordering every week a delivery order.but last 2 time of my experience with them become terrible.Order arrived after 1,5 hour ,and i am living near them.Second time after 1 hour same guy asking to send him a location.And nobody even apologise for that.Never will order from them.If you want to save your nerves avoid them. Strange to see good place become such a mess and why management dont care about regular customers.

Once in a month we want to enjoy Mandi by Mandi Time....Tasteful, fresh, hot and balanced spices in Mandi, Mazhbi.. either its chicken or mutton... we always love to go there. Very reasonable price.. Sulaimani kehwa is complimentary...Must try

A definite 5 star. Wasn't expecting such good taste here but hey u never know what to expect in Dubai's restaurants. Staff is v friendly however parking can be a bit of a hustle specially at night time. Will definitely recommend and come again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ A lively spot with a classic street food vibe and colorful décor that captures the Levantine spirit. The hummus is smooth and flavorful, making it a solid choice for a quick bite. Prices are reasonable, and RTA street parking is available nearby, adding to the convenience. Featured in my Dubai Food List — check my Maps profile for more local favorites.

Dined here on a dinner time and the restaurant is clean, has a lot of available seating with free wifi and to access the onlineQR menu. Temperature is very comfortable even for an enclosed outside setting restaurant. We were thrilled to savour the specialty food and was very excellent especially the cheese Fatter and the dynamite chicken which has a very flavourful chicken meat. Affordability is somewhat ok if on a group or depends on your order. Employees are polite, accomodating and friendly but not enough to cater the guest all together as only a couple are serving the food. The downside is the service is very very slow. I notice the online delivery has a lot of drivers waiting outside a seperate window to pick up. It takes a lot of time for your order to arrive one after the other and not served all together. You will be full by the time your next order arrives and end up taking out the remaining food. We waited for an employee to pass by but decided to wait outside the kitchen door/employees only for someone to come out so we could ask for some storage plastics and for our remaining food to be packed. They took the remaining food on our table and brought it to the kitchen for take out, we billed out and waited. We waited again thinking the packed food will be given to us just like any other restaurant that they will bring you your requested packed take out food but we decided to go to the kitchen door again and asked for our packed food, There it was waiting in the kitchen and we asked for it and went home. We understand the restaurant is very busy and the employees are doing their best but it would be much better if they could communicate with the patrons and more crews will be added to have a faster effective service time. A couple of weeks after we were craving for the Fateer as it was so good and ordered online. We decided to try the one we ordered before the Kraft cheese and added the meat one. It did not disappoint as it was an excellent meal. A well recommended specialty of Zaroob. Alongside we ordered Falafel as well but no sauce was present and it was not a complete savoury experience. I don't know if they forgot or no sauce is available but hopefully it will be rectified in the future orders as the falafel sauce/dip is a partner to the food cravings. But a free marshmallow pack was added for free for dessert. Overall, in my point of view a good food experience with Zarob but the resto needs some improvement with their service time as it is their week point in customer service. Thanks guys.

I felt the restaurant is fairly underrated. We loved the food, the ambiance and the overall service. Food was super fresh and delightfully tasty.

A mixed bag at Zaroob - amazing food, but the service needs work. My friend and I decided to try Zaroob on Sheikh Zayed Road last weekend, and honestly, it was one of those experiences where the food totally saved the day. We ordered their mixed platter to share, and wow , every single bite was incredible. The flavors were so authentic and fresh, you could tell they really care about their ingredients. We also ordered some tabbouleh. I'm absolutely not exaggerating when I say it's the best I've had since moving to Dubai. It was so good that I'm already planning my next visit just for that dish alone! :) The restaurant itself was cozy, nothing fancy but alright ambiance - lots of colors and energy that makes you feel like you're getting the real Lebanese street food experience, just elevated a bit. Plus, being so close to the metro made it super convenient for us to make it to the restaurant. The only downside was that we were not offered water automatically, perhaps it's cultural? And we waited quite a bit for the bill. What really caught me off guard was when we asked for water and found out how pricey it was ... like, it's just water, you know? And then seeing that 10% service charge automatically added to our bill felt a bit presumptuous, especially given how long we'd been waiting around. I would've preferred to decide for myself how much to tip based on the actual service we received. This aside, don't get me wrong - I'll definitely be back because that food was just too good to pass up. I just really hope they can sort out the service side of things. With food this amazing, the whole experience could be absolutely perfect if they just paid a bit more attention to taking care of their customers.

Probably the best Lebanese restaurant in town, serving truly authentic food with a lasting taste. The grilled chicken is juicy and flavorful, complemented by good service and a pleasant ambience.

Very nice and tasty menu, the sourdough manakeesh are excellent pick, also the foul was great

Zaroob serves incredibly fresh and flavorful Levant street food. The breakfast was delicious, the ambience lively, and Ms. Shaima’s service was excellent. Highly recommended!

Had an amazing breakfast experience today at the iconic Arabian Tea House. The atmosphere was calm, authentic, and beautifully decorated — the perfect blend of tradition and comfort. Enjoyed the sun without the heat! We were served by Bridget, who was genuinely friendly and attentive throughout the meal. She made sure everything was perfect and offered helpful suggestions with a smile. The food was delicious — from the freshly baked bread and flavorful scrambled eggs to the wide variety of dips, olives, and cheeses. Everything tasted homemade and full of Middle Eastern charm. The presentation was beautiful too — traditional trays, floral plates, and that unmistakable Arabian touch. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Dubai who wants to experience a peaceful, authentic Arabic breakfast. Thank you, Bridget, for the wonderful service!

Lovely visiting first time a Bosnian cuisine restaurant. Food was amazing and tasted really good. Forgot to take a picture. Ambiance was amazing and loved the way servers cleaned and disinfected the place after someone left. Keep it up. Will come back. Thank you for the complimentary baklava and coffee. Tasted like heaven!!!

I love the Arabian Tea House as no matter if i’m coming for breakfast, lunch, dessert, or just drinks, I always have a great experience. Thanks to our server Binita, we had a great breakfast today as the atmosphere and food was great as usual. Definitely recommend!

Amazing experience. We have resided in Dubai for a year now and this is our first experience of Arabian Tea House. All I can say is …. Don’t leave it as long as we did! The staff are fantastic especially with children. The food is amazing. Don’t think there was an empty seat in the Tea House which is a fantastic sign. Will definitely be back again

Absolutely sensational! Diverse traditional middle eastern food. I adore the Emirati options that are available. Every single ingredient is extremely fresh, well prepared and flavourful. We had a traditional Emirates breakfast (that rose jam ♥️) and foul/hummus (soo creamy, ultimate comfort dish). It was by far the best I have ever eaten, from my home country to other local eats. The bread is handmade in the clay pot on site, perfection. Highly recommend having local drinks, lemon and mint, or avocado and date smoothie. Staff are attentive, well versed in the menu and extremely polite, the manager deserves credit for this and much more! Atmosphere is calm and relaxing, a hidden gem inside marcato shopping mall Dubai. I am looking forward to trying many more of their dishes, including homage to other MENA regions. Best food in Dubai, best local Emirati food.

Hello, Dubai. I hope all of you guys are healthy and wealthy. I visited this Mall before 1 week. This Arabian tea cafe was so 👌 🔥 nice and clean. The atmosphere was lovely 😍 and staff is very nice. Recommend to visit. Thanks 👍

Amazing experience as always they were super accommodating and friendly especially our waiter Sarah .. extraordinary service and the food was yummy and delicious And they gave us complementary sweets 😍😍

Very nice restaurant if you like Mandi. I have tried Chicken Madfoun which was really good. I have also tried Chicken Kabbssah Yemeni Style which was really amazing. Loved it. Worth the money.

Had 2 mutton haneed & 1 Chicken Madfoon Group of 7 people had with extra rice. Nice soup and salad. Traditional black tea must drink. We drank multiple times.

Best option for Arabian foods... Mutton Zurbyan and Madfoon is wordless.. Real Arabian tastes Price is comparatively higher, But Worth it...

One of the best Mutton mandi I've ever had. The meat was delicious and the soup was too good

I rated this 5 star for their great Yemeni foods + very affordable + amazing location+ wide parking area+quick service + privacy. just simply my favorite among the rest ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Well I was in this restaurant just once but honestly speaking I did not like it at all. The food was not necessarily tasty but what was worse was how the food is presented. We got some rice and chicken dish served on a plate in the middle. First of all they serve way too much rice of which most goes to garbage. Very sad. When you think that people in their country are starving, they should be more sensitive for food waste. The location is not really clean but since I won't visit this place again it is okay. Price value ratio is okay. Would I recommend it? Hell no.

Best food and service was excellent. ..... 5 star frm me and big Hifi.

I am writing to express my disappointment with the order I placed through Talabat. Unfortunately, the food was delivered in extremely poor packaging. Most of the food had spilled out of its packets, creating a mess. This was particularly embarrassing as I had invited friends over for the meal, and the condition of the delivery completely ruined the experience. I kindly request that you address this issue to ensure such incidents do not happen in the future.

I am writing to express my disappointment with the Mandi I ordered from your restaurant. From talabat. Unfortunately, the chicken was extremely dry, and the rice was undercooked, which made the meal unappetizing and difficult to enjoy. As regular customers, we have always appreciated the quality of your food, which is why this experience was particularly surprising and disappointing. Furthermore, I am concerned about the safety of the food, as it did not seem fresh. If any health issues arise due to this meal, I would hold your establishment responsible. I kindly request that you address this matter promptly, as we trust you value your customers and their feedback.

Extremely disappointed with the food quality! The taste and smell were spoiled. I spoke to their cloud kitchen staff—food was prepared at their central kitchen in Dragon Mart and delivered to Motor City by 3 PM and the same food they are selling as fresh by 8:30 pm. Keeping a sample; if I fall sick, I’ll report it to Dubai Municipality.

We placed an order through the Entertainer, deliver too more than an hour even though we live 10 minutes away . the food was literally cold , not fresh. rice and haneeth meat were bad. herbs chicken and madfoon meat tasted good, yet cold. no vegetables were sent as used by Yemeni restaurants. decided to be last time we order from there.

The meat is dry and burned tastes bad, and the quantity is small. It was probably cooked two days ago. Very bad experience

Had breakfast here last weekend and was really impressed. The menu offers a good variety of options, from classic eggs to vegan choices. Portions are generous and everything tastes fresh and homemade. The interior is bright and welcoming, and the service was attentive without rushing. Will definitely be coming back!

This was a complete disaster. I ordered Shish Tawook from talabat , but what I got was nothing close just tiny, dry cubes of chicken with zero flavor. The chicken was so tough it felt like chewing on rubber, probably cooked two days ago. This is unacceptable. Total waste of money. I will never order from this place again, and I don’t recommend anyone else does either.

Ayamna is located very close to our room, as we are residing in the same tower. This is how we spotted it, considering we also wanted to try authentic Arabic/Lebanese food during our stay in the UAE. Safe to say, Ayamna did not disappoint! The food was mouthwateringly good, especially the meat shown in picture 6! Unfortunately, I’ve forgotten the name but I believe it was found in the “From the Grill” section. Oh, and, the mango juice was refreshing.. 😋 Much pleasure to the staff as well, as they repeatedly checked up on us, inquiring on our opinions about the food (great, by the way, if I haven’t already said!!) They also were very warm and smiley. Special thank you to Dante who was exceptional with his service during our dinner. He recommended dishes (like the desert!) and informed us that the mains were large enough to share, so couple would suffice. Something that wasn’t great was the lighting. It was super dim which made it hard to see the food we were eating, basically like we were blindly guessing which is which. Anyhow, very impressed with Ayamna and definitely set the bar high for any future Arabic/Lebanese restaurants we visit.

We had such a lovely dinner at Ayamna. The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and beautifully presented. Gav took great care of us and made ordering for our big family so easy. The service was friendly and attentive from start to finish. We were a little disappointed since we expected a belly dancer that evening but there wasn’t one. Still, the amazing food and overall atmosphere made it a wonderful night. Definitely worth visiting again.

Everything was fabulous!!! The food, drinks, ambiance, everything! We had the hummus and fattoush. Along with two hot apps - one lamb samosa type and one shrimp provincal?? Delicious. We shared the mixed grill and had the date dessert and apricot. Dante was amazing!!!! So happy we came here on our last night

The food and service at Ayamna never disappoint. Both have been consistent since we've been visiting starting in 2019. Always our first meal when arriving at Atlantis.

Outstanding restaurant! The food was genuinely delicious and we enjoyed every minute. The flavors were spot-on and everything was cooked with real care and attention. They also offer great vegetarian options, which is a big plus. Warm atmosphere, great service, and overall a fantastic dining experience - highly recommended.

We were a group of 3. Laarbi make our diner such a wonderful experience being nice but really professional. Really god food and quiet atmosphere. I will definetly come back again.

Absolutely amazing food and staff. Dona our restaurant supervisor seated us . She was fully aware of our daughter’s allergies and reassured us that she would be safe . This was backed up even more when head chef Zahl came to see us and totally set our daughter’s worries at rest when he ran though all the ingredients used in his dishes for her. We were looked after by Jamal who was very knowledgeable and gave us some great recommendations for our dinner. Thank you to all for make our first nights dining at The Atlantis such an incredible experience.

Worth travelling to old town to try this authentic Emirati restaurant! The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. The mix sambousa was so delicious and crispy, especially the cheese filled one. My main was the lamb biryani which was absolutely huge - this could feed two people easily. I loved the rice but would prefer more dried fruit (?) as the sweetness compliments the savoury meat so well. Otherwise this was spicy, meaty and a behemoth of a dish to get through. Note that you’ll need to scrape the meat off the bones - it’s not pure meat. The date tart was really sweet, and I should’ve got tea with it, but it did taste nice! Service was friendly and efficient, thank you to Pann who was serving me :)

Our waiter Issan and Hasan were super helpful and delightful. The food was phenomenal, the portions size was pretty generous, didn’t see anyone finish their plates despite the good quality of the food. According to the staff, that’s the traditional Arabic food servings. Guess they have to keep the heritage. I especially like how they use old techniques to burn essence to create a nice scent in the dining area. Love this place. A must come when you’re in Dubai.

A Wonderful Dining Experience! We visited Al Khayama on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and it was absolutely incredible! The food, ambiance and service were all spot on. While the prices are on the higher side, every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor, and the portions were generous — definitely worth it. The ambiance is charming and inviting, with the feel of an outdoor courtyard covered by a canopy, giving it a cozy “tent” atmosphere. Thanks to the air conditioning, it was pleasantly cool inside. A special thanks to Afef, Obada and Ala for their warm hospitality and efficient service. We also loved the corner action station where certain dishes were being freshly prepared and the nearby henna area where guests can get beautiful patterns applied — such a lovely touch! Overall, Al Khayama is definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area and want to enjoy authentic and delicious Emirati cuisine in a delightful setting.

This is a good place to experience local cuisine. The atmosphere is also really nice. There is performance and the food is really good too. Ate Queen was really accommodating and was quick to respond to our needs. Thank you! They say most days esp weekend, it’s fully packed and the line goes all the way outside so better reserve thru call or whatsapp.

This place is truly amazing! The food is great, you definitely will find some options which would be suitable to you. They have vegetarian options as well as ones with meat. I've tried middle eastern cuisine and it was nice! Another thing which should be mentioned - service and atmosphere. We were lucky to hear the middle eastern music in live, which added a lot of positives to our mood.

We celebrated my birthday here in Al Khayma. Our server, Karam is really attentive, always updating us if everything is alright. We ordered a lot of food.🤣 📍Fried Shrimp 5⭐ - this was sooooo good. The shrimp was crispy, plump and juicy. The sauce that comes with is is really good as well. 📍Lamb Tikka 5⭐ - this my order and favourite. Lamb was tender, succulent and flavorful. I really enjoyed this. In the menu it says 1pax but I believe it can be shared for 2 people.🤣 📍 Muttabal 5⭐ - another faveeeee!!! Huhu. The bread is really good. Light, crispy and smokey. The Muttabal is also good. Really perfect 😭🤤😋 Overall, this place was a bit pricey. But sometimes it is okay to splurge a bit especially for a special occasion.😍 This would be our first Michelin star restaurant in Dubai.

We were a group of 4 adults and a 7 month old baby. From start to finish they accommodated our needs. The food is incredible and very big portions. We ordered the lamb biryani, lamb hyderabadi and the shrimp maragat as well as the hot mixed starter and a pot of Karak tea. Very tasty and flavorful. We were served by Mustafa, he is very friendly and explained the dishes to us and sat us at a very nice table in the main restaurant. We will come back here any day! Can highly recommend.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic restaurant, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely amazing. Each dish was bursting with fresh flavours and cooked to perfection. The fine vine added the vibes. The service was top notch, with attentive and friendly staff who made sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. The ambiance added to the charm, offering a warm and inviting vibe that made the evening even more enjoyable. Whether you're looking for a casual meal or a special night out, this restaurant is a must-visit. Highly recommended !!!

We celebrated my sister’s birthday last night at Mint Leaf London and it was an absolutely exceptional experience. From start to finish everything was 5 star, the stunning views, the beautifully presented food with its innovative and fun fusion of flavors, and the warm friendly service from the staff. Every detail made the evening so special. Truly one of the best dining experiences I have had in London, highly recommend.

Mint Leaf Dubai has become one of my favorite fine-dining spots. The flavors are unforgettable — the Raj Kachori, the kebabs, the aloo anardana, the dal, and the soft aloo kulcha are already etched in my memory. Every dish carries such balance and depth that it makes you want to come back again and again. The ambience is elegant, the service warm, and the food speaks for itself. For anyone looking for a refined Indian dining experience in Dubai, I highly recommend Mint Leaf.

Went to try their newly launched tasting menu and absolutely loved it! 😍 The place is stunning with modern Indian food, amazing flavours, and that gorgeous Burj Khalifa view! 🌃 Every dish was a hit, and the desserts were next level.Truly one of the best dining experiences in Dubai and it’s perfect for a date night or celebration! ✨

We had such a wonderful experience at Mint Leaf of London thanks to Joanah! She was incredibly sweet, warmly welcomed us, and guided us with the best recommendations. Her kindness and attentiveness truly made our visit so special. Thank you, Joanah, for making us feel so well taken care of!

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Mint Leaf of London, DIFC (Dubai), and I must say — it was an absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish. Nestled on the 15th floor with sweeping views of Sheikh Zayed Road and the majestic Burj Khalifa, this restaurant offers not only an elevated culinary experience but also an ambiance that is truly unforgettable. From the moment we stepped in, the hospitality and warmth of the staff stood out, creating an inviting and relaxed atmosphere for our family dinner. As vegetarians, we are often cautious about menu options, but Mint Leaf truly surprised us with a diverse and thoughtfully curated vegetarian selection — each dish executed with finesse and presented beautifully. One dish that deserves a special mention is the Mango Pani Puri — absolutely outstanding. A modern twist on a classic, it was bursting with flavor and creativity. Each bite was a perfect blend of tanginess, sweetness, and spice — a must-try for anyone visiting. The quality of ingredients, the attention to detail, and the overall presentation reflect a high level of culinary craftsmanship. All the dishes we tried were fresh, flavorful, and elegantly plated, and despite the premium feel, the pricing was quite reasonable for the DIFC location and fine-dining quality. But what truly elevated our dining experience to a 5-star level was the impeccable service, especially by Paras, who was assigned to our table. Paras is, without a doubt, the star of the place. From recommending dishes based on our preferences to checking in at just the right moments, his service was warm, attentive, and incredibly professional — all without being intrusive. He even took time to explain the ingredients and the chef’s special touches, making our evening all the more engaging. It’s rare to find someone with that level of genuine hospitality and product knowledge in the F&B industry. Hats off to him for making our evening truly memorable. The ambiance is chic and contemporary with dimmed lighting, which adds to the elegance. The panoramic views of Dubai’s skyline, including the iconic Burj Khalifa, are breathtaking and make this place ideal for both intimate dinners and family gatherings. It felt like the perfect setting to relax, celebrate, and indulge. To sum it up: excellent food, warm and personalized service, stunning views, and great value. Mint Leaf of London in DIFC is now firmly on our list of favorite dining destinations in Dubai. A big thank you once again to Paras and the entire team for making our evening so special. We’ll definitely be back soon — and we’ll be recommending this gem to friends and visitors alike! — Dr. Santosh Dwivedi

Incredible fine dining Indian restaurant. The quality of the food are amazing. I had lunch set business menu. I will definitely come back to discover other dishes

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Carnival, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the vibrant atmosphere and creative décor set the tone for a truly memorable evening. The service was warm, attentive, and professional throughout. The staff took time to explain the story behind each dish, adding a unique touch to the dining experience. The food was a delightful journey of modern Indian cuisine, innovative, beautifully presented, and full of bold flavors. Each course felt like a surprise, perfectly balancing creativity with authenticity. The tasting menu in particular showcased the chef’s imagination and mastery. Carnival is more than just a restaurant, it’s an experience that combines fine dining with fun, theatrics, and a genuine passion for food. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Indian cuisine in a refreshing and exciting way in the heart of DIFC.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of dining at Carnival by Trèsind, and it was truly an exceptional experience. From the moment I entered the restaurant until the time I left, the entire team was so warm, friendly, and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious—beautifully presented and full of flavor. What impressed me the most was the thoughtful hospitality: even the next morning, I received a call from the restaurant to check if everything was okay, which shows their genuine care for guests. Thank you to the entire team at Carnival by Trèsind for making my visit memorable. I’m already looking forward to coming back again soon

We celebrated our son's 1st birthday at Carnival by Tresind and it was such a wonderful experience. Food items were lip smacking and even the service by Prince and team. Thank you guys for making our little one's birthday more memorable! The DJ sound was a bit loud especially for parents like us with babies less than 1 year old. Although the team was considerate enough to switch off the speaker on top of our table but still, the loud sound persisted. It's nothing wrong with the restaurant, maybe we should have thought before making our reservation. However, the overall experience was wonderful 😊

Business lunch was perfect for a visit with a friend while visiting Dubai. The lamb appetizer and sorbet palette cleanser were my favorite dishes and had spectacular presentation. For desserts, the mango custard was delicious. Reservations were wide open for a weekday lunch. Would recommend making a reservation for dinner.

A fantastic fine dining experience at Carnival by Trèsind. Every course was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and felt like a creative twist on traditional Indian cuisine. The service was warm and professional, and the ambience playful yet elegant. Truly worthy of its place in the Michelin Guide — an evening that was both fun and unforgettable.

We enjoyed the Business Lunch at Carnival. The ambience was lovely, food was delicious and the service quick and wonderfully courteous. Special thanks to Mr.Saurabh. The drinks were unique and very well presented. Very impressed and would love to return soon.

I am chocked how good is this restaurant!! EVERYTHING! The ambience is so lively! People dancing, having fun all the time! The food is the best Indian food I’ve ever eaten. Too much food! Well served and tasteful. I highly recommend this restaurant! It is a MUST in Dubai!

Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! Al Shorfa is perfect for a relaxing evening. The hookah itself was top quality — smooth, flavorful, and expertly prepare. What really made the night memorable, though, was the exceptional service provided by Mohammed. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a chill place, not distracting or disturbing 🥰

Shisha (AED75-120) was weak and service was overloaded so they cannot handle a full house. This place used to have a good shisha master but it’s not worth the money anymore. The banana chocolate crepe tastes okay but looks unappealing. I will have to avoid this location for shisha until I hear/see improvements.

SAIDUL, He was our waiter. He was very friendly, helpful and he provided a very good service. Authentic arabian cousine. The food was very delicious I can recomend this place!!

I recently had lunch at Al-shorfa in JBR and had a wonderful experience. The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. A special thanks goes to our waiter, Saydoul, who was extremely professional, warm, and attentive throughout our visit. He truly made the lunch more enjoyable, such a genuinely nice guy! I highly recommend both the restaurant and his exceptional service.

Food is not good its so sour the soup and muttabel. You cannot eat it Waiter is so rude and unfriendly we will Never come back again! Location is good but food now so pricey muttabel for 28 aed and you cannot even eat it 🤣😆 and not even fresh . I asked the waiter why is so sour he said its should not be but haven’t done anything 😆 omg!

My family is from Lebanon so off course food is most important and this is one of those places that is consistently good on this on all plates Services is also exceptional. You don’t have your 5 star restaurant Michelin waiter but you do have the waiter that remembers what you had last time and that is all for me Atmosphere is relax, has several ambiance be it outside with giant screen for soccer matches, inside for smokers or more inside for family without smoking you have it all, but it’s not your 5 start place, this is so you have a relax time feel at home and enjoy REALLY good food from old recipe

I can not endorse this restaurant enough and keep coming back every week :) I love everything about this place, and the staff itself is definitely worth to mentione ! They are very attentive, super friendly and provide a great service / experience each and every time! The food hold very high quality, the portions are huge and taste like home made!! Great vibe and beautiful terrace outside - The shisha is also fantastic, and never had any shisha guy being that attentive with the coal as here :)

One of the most extravagant dining experiences in Dubai! Al Nafoorah at Jumeirah Al Qasr truly delivers an unforgettable culinary journey — by far the best and most authentic Lebanese cuisine we’ve had. As vegetarians, we often struggle to find variety, but Al Nafoorah pleasantly surprised us with a generous spread of vegetarian and gluten-free options, each dish prepared just the way it should be — rich in flavor and tradition. The service staff was exceptional — attentive, courteous, and well-informed about food allergies and dietary preferences. They ensured we were comfortable throughout. A small tip: make a reservation at least a day in advance. Don’t arrive too early as seating begins only at your selected time, and if you’re running a bit late, they graciously hold your table for about 15–20 minutes. Without a doubt, this has become my go-to place to host anyone looking to experience top-tier Lebanese cuisine in Dubai

I had the pleasure of dining at Al Nafoorah and I must say it was a delightful experience!From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The ambience was beautifully designed, creating a cozy yet elegant vibe perfect for a night out. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive throughout the evening, making sure all our needs were met without being intrusive. Their positive attitude really enhanced our dining experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely dining experience. I can't wait to return. Thank you for the entire team for such a wonderful evening!

We celebrated my husband’s birthday at Al Nafoorah, and it honestly turned into one of those nights we’ll always remember. When I booked, I had asked for outdoor seating, but I forgot to mention that I’m pregnant and would need a non-smoking area. When we arrived, the outdoor area was already busy and mainly a smoking zone, but Nia, who welcomed us, immediately noticed and showed such genuine care. She found us a table a little farther from the smokers and even offered to move us inside if I ever felt uncomfortable. It was such a small gesture, but it meant so much to me—it made me feel safe, comfortable, and truly looked after. Our server, Waleed, was just as wonderful—friendly, warm, and full of good energy. He made sure everything was perfect for us throughout the evening. The food... it was absolutely incredible. Rich, authentic Lebanese flavors that completely won us over. My husband even said he found his "food heaven" that night—and seeing him that happy made the evening even more special for me. To top it all off, they surprised us with a complimentary birthday cake, which made the celebration feel even more thoughtful and complete. It wasn’t just a dinner. It was a night filled with care, laughter, amazing food, and beautiful memories. We’re already looking forward to coming back again. Thank you, Al Nafoorah, for making this birthday celebration truly unforgettable.

Wow — what a beautiful hotel and restaurant! This spot is absolutely worth visiting for the ambiance and atmosphere alone. We were a large group with a set menu, but everything we had was outstanding — simple, yet flavorful. I’d definitely recommend it. The staff was also incredibly accommodating, especially with our requests around table size and dietary restrictions. If you’re looking for great service in a stunning setting, this is a fantastic choice.

We had the premium buffet at Al Nafoorah and everything—from the authentic flavours to the elegant presentation—was absolutely spot on. The food quality was exceptional, with true Levantine taste that’s hard to come by in such a refined setting. Special thanks to Badr and the entire team for their warm hospitality and impeccable service. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking top-tier Arabic cuisine in a truly beautiful hotel setting. A must-visit if you haven’t been to Jumeirah Al Qasr before.

The food was not hot enough, even though we ordered a kebab grill and it should have been very hot. The dishes were small compared to the price. I would prefer more light in the restaurant. One more thing is very annoying: your menu's cuisine is Arabic, so why are you not adding the dish names in Arabic to the menu as well?

First of all shout out to Parvez! He hooked it up! Food was amazing! The lamba was super tender (medium) service was on point, atmosphere was very nice! We will definitely be returning to Al Nafoorah if we are around the area! Love the coaster which basically seconds as marigold, we need more of these! If you haven't been and you are in the area you must go.

Al Hallab is a truly luxurious restaurant that exudes a sense of elegance and sophistication. The space is wide and impeccably clean, offering breathtaking views of the waterfall and the iconic Dubai Mall dancing fountain. The menu features a wide variety of dishes from both Arabic and international cuisines, presented in a creative and delightful way. It’s an excellent choice for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even for coffee and premium, authentic Levantine desserts. A refined option for families and groups alike. The service is outstanding, and I would like to extend my gratitude to the restaurant owners, especially Mr. Hazem and Mr. William. The restaurant is well-known and always busy, so advance booking is highly recommended. Prices are on the higher side, but it’s truly worth it when you want to honor and impress your loved ones. Warm regards, Hammad Bakhsh – Al Madinah Al Munawwarah

Everything was wonderful. The staff were incredibly warm and treated the customers with so much respect. We also loved the restaurant's ambiance. The date salad was a fun and interesting new flavor. While the arayes wasn't really to my taste, the chicken and eggplant makloubeh and the falafel platter were absolutely delicious.

I didn’t realize America had been serving us fake Lebanese food until I came to Al Hallab. This place redefines authentic Lebanese cuisine—fresh, flavorful, and unforgettable. The fact that they’ve been around since 1881 says it all. Muhammad, the manager, is incredibly hospitable, and the staff make you feel like family. If you visit, book a table outside—the views of Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain are stunning. A must-try spot for anyone who loves great food and beautiful experiences. Thank you, Muhammad and team🙏

The ambience at Al Hallab was simply marvelous — elegant, welcoming, and with a great view that adds to the dining experience. Overall, the food was good and well presented. Here’s my breakdown: • Overall Food: ⭐️⭐️⭐️½ (3.5/5) • Mix Grill Platter: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) – perfectly cooked, flavorful, and juicy. • Falafel: ⭐️ (1/5) – unfortunately too oily and burnt, with oil fully absorbed inside. • Beiruti Hummus: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) – smooth, rich, and delicious. • Muhalabia: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) – an excellent dessert, creamy and refreshing. A great spot for Lebanese cuisine lovers, though the falafel could use improvement.

The service in the restaurant was excellent. The dish was very delicious and highly recommended. The staff were all very kind. The portions of the dishes were quite generous. We had a great time and felt very satisfied. The view outside the window was very beautiful.

Food at this place is amazing, with consistent quality and quantity. The service is also great. However, the only drawback is that they offer a set menu for table reservations, which is a bit pricey. Ala carte options are only available for walk-ins. Due to this limitation, I've deducted a few stars for service. Nonetheless, the food keeps me coming back! Outdoor balcony seating is amazing! Got the Burj Khalifa and fountain views.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The staff — Fadi, Ammar, and the maître Mohammed — were incredibly kind and welcoming. They even offered me dessert and tea! I really appreciated their hospitality and positive energy. Thank you for making my day so special! 💛

Decent Egyptian food but I've had better elsewhere. The service was very quick and there was no shortage of tables. Many people came in large groups and the space accommodates everyone nicely. Toilets were clean, plenty of paid parking space outside the restaurant. I found the drinks (passion fruit ice tea) to be lukewarm and bland, I requested a cup of ice to cool down my drink. The complementary hibiscus drink was delicious, I added it to my drink to try and bring some flavour to it but there's only so much it can do. The food was good, fresh bread and grills. I didn't enjoy the fatta as much as I wanted to. The rice was not fluffy enough. It was good but not great, it does the job if you're craving Egyptian food. Good luck to everyone tho.

Our favorite place where everything is always delicious — breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We’ve been coming here for years, and the food is always amazing, perfectly seasoned every time. The taste never changes. Maintaining such a high level consistently is true professionalism. 👏 We went there again this weekend for our favorite breakfast. They offer a great breakfast set for 2–4 people. Highly recommend if you want a tasty meal! 😋

Hadoota Masreya in Dubai is a vibrant taste of Egypt! The restaurant serves authentic Egyptian dishes like koshari, molokhia, and stuffed pigeon, all bursting with flavor and nostalgia. The atmosphere is lively, with a warm, welcoming vibe that feels like a slice of Cairo. The staff are friendly and attentive, adding to the charm. However, it gets incredibly busy, especially on weekends, which can lead to longer wait times and a slightly cramped feel. A bit more space or faster service during peak hours would make it perfect, but it’s still a fantastic spot for Egyptian cuisine lovers

We were a party of 3 and we sat in the smoking section. The staff at the door greeted us with big smiles, which set a nice tone for the night. We ordered a mix of dishes. The orzo soup for 25 AED was perfect, 10/10. Eggplant with garlic and vinegar, also 28 AED, was a solid 10/10. The baladi salad was also for 28AED it was fresh and flavorful, another 10/10. The mombar for 45 AED was crispy outside, packed with flavor inside, easily a 10/10. We got two fried rice stuffed pigeons for 120 AED, juicy but I’d give them an 8/10 can’t beat the Farahat Cairo pigeons not the Farahat in Dubai, Hadoota is better than one for sure. The mousaka béchamel, small size for 40 AED, was tasty but I didn’t realize it came with a big plate of white rice with vermicelli, the rice ended up packed to go. The rice moamar was comforting, and the half grilled chicken for 48 AED came with vegetables instead of fries, plus tahini and pickles. What really stood out was how fast the food came out. We barely had time to chat before the table started filling up. The service was amazing, attentive without being pushy. We ended with tea with mint. Sitting there, sipping tea after so much good food, felt just right. Because it’s summer, and many families are on vacation, we managed to find seats at 6 pm on a weekend. Usually, this place is so busy you have to book ahead. It was one of those meals where you leave full, happy, and already thinking about what you’ll order next time.

This Egyptian restaurant impressed me with its authentic flavors and taste, offering a genuine experience of Egyptian cuisine. The service was exemplary, with attention to detail in every aspect of the meal presentation. As someone not originally from Egypt, I found the food to be delightful and true to its roots. The ambiance added to the experience, transporting me to Egypt with its decor and atmosphere. Overall, it’s a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Egyptian dishes in a welcoming setting.

Best Egyptian food ever, very tasty and well presented! Even better than the Resturant’s in egypt or anywhere else. Ahmed Diaa and Maoud Fawaz are professional and friendly - always serving with a great smile on their faces which made us feel welcomed all the time! Atmosphere with decorations and Amr Diab songs is just a piece of Art! Love the place and will always come again and again whenever I visit dubai.

The service and the food were absolutely wonderful! I’d like to especially highlight the amazing hospitality of the crew—Saad and Abdullah—thank you both for hosting us with your warm smiles and genuine generosity. You truly made our experience memorable

The food was incredible — perfectly grilled kebabs, juicy and flavorful, paired with fresh salad, crisp fries, and warm bread. Everything tasted authentic and beautifully presented, just like a true Emirati feast. The atmosphere felt cozy and welcoming, with that warm wooden setting that makes you feel at home. You can tell the team takes real pride in what they serve — everything looked and tasted freshly made. A special shout-out to Sayed, who was genuinely one of the best staff members we’ve met in Dubai. Friendly, attentive, and always smiling — he made sure our table had everything we needed and went the extra mile to make our experience perfect. Highly recommend Al Fanar for anyone looking for great food, great vibes, and truly memorable service. We’ll definitely be coming back!

“This is a good restaurant with a pleasant Arabian atmosphere. I really enjoyed it. The food was delicious — we had kebab and another Arabian dish (I can’t remember the name), served beautifully on a large tray. What makes it unique is that in the middle of a modern mall, you can still experience a traditional, old-style atmosphere, which feels very different and special. The prices are a bit high, but overall it was a great experience. I definitely recommend it.”

First time taking our parents to try Emirati food. It was a great experience and really showed the culture and taste of the UAE. The restaurant looks very traditional and has a warm, welcoming vibe. It feels like going back in time. The food was tasty, full of flavour, and nicely presented. I personally love Arabic food, so I really enjoyed it. If you want to see how Emiratis eat and enjoy local culture, you should visit Al Fanar. Highly recommended!

I try the Emirati food, pleasant but not exceptional. The sombousa and the fish kafta were really good. I was a bit disappointed by the rice machboos with the lamb, the rice was not as perfume and tasty as expected

Scrumptious Emirati cuisine in a beautiful cultural setting of a courtyard of a local family. A wide range of starters, mains and desserts. The biryani rice and chicken and grilled squids we had were amazingly tasty, full of flavour. Service was very good and Sayed who attended to our table was welcoming, respectful and efficient.

Good service by Praveen. Food was really bad. I’ve been to the barsha pond park branch and I love arabic food but this was just bad. Ordered fish kofta (good), mix grill (meat was really chewy and some chicken was undercooked) and grilled sea beam (okay but some parts inside were not cooked at all and outside a bit burnt). For sweets we had luqaimat, really dense and chewy instead of soft and juicy.

Absolutely magical place! ❤️I enjoyed an Arabic coffee with dates. A perfect decor and ambiance! The service as well! Congratulations and thanks! I was enchanted! ❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯👏👍🌹

I was slightly pessimistic after reading some of the past reviews, but the place is a gem. Taste wise, this is likely one of best lunch meals I’ve had. Stuffed zucchini with yoghurt sauce and side bread. Seasoned to perfection, just the right dish size, bread was melting in the mouth.

Em Sherif in Dubai is a true gem for anyone craving authentic Lebanese cuisine. From the moment you walk in, you're met with a warm and elegant atmosphere that reflects both tradition and class. The menu is rich with classic dishes, but the standout for me was the Kibbeh Nayeh—raw lamb prepared with perfect seasoning, olive oil, and love. It's incredibly fresh, tender, and bursting with authentic flavor that’s hard to find anywhere else. Every dish is beautifully presented and full of depth, from the hot and cold mezze to the grilled mains. The service is top-notch, attentive without being intrusive. It's clear that quality is at the heart of everything they do—from ingredients to ambiance. Whether you're Lebanese or simply a fan of Middle Eastern food, Em Sherif delivers a truly memorable dining experience that celebrates Lebanese culture in every bite. Highly recommended.

A high class place to have fresh Lebanese food. Service top notch. Ingredients are very fresh. Portions are very good as well. Enjoyed every minute.

I have come here 10+ times. The food is truly spectacular. I find it to be the best Lebanese cuisine I’ve found, and the service is always 10/10. If you only have space for 1 dish, order the hummus beef shawarma dinner, it can’t be beat.

Succulent chicken grills and lamb chops. Prawns. Very good service. Rice pudding is also very good. Reservations recommended for dinner. Can be full.

"Em Sherif" isn’t just dining — it’s an experience of heritage, flavors, and hospitality brought to life in Dubai. From the setup to the service, every detail feels like a piece of Beirut.

We visited Um Sherif Café with high expectations, especially after trying their restaurant, which truly is one of the best in every aspect. Unfortunately, our experience at the café today was disappointing. Food Ratings: Boneless Chicken: 9/10 Boneless Chicken Sandwich: 7/10 Beef Shawarma Sandwich: 8.5/10 Spicy Potatoes: 5/10 Raw Meat Platter: 10/10 Hummus: 10/10 While most dishes were great, the sandwiches were overloaded with parsley, which affected the overall flavor. The spicy potatoes were underwhelming. Service & Cleanliness Issues: Inconsistent Table Setup: Some tables had napkins, others only tissues – surprising for a place of this level. Serving Method: Staff do not use trays. They carry plates and juices by hand, which looks unprofessional and raises hygiene concerns. Unhygienic Cleaning Practices: The most frustrating part was seeing staff collect used tissues, wipe the tables using the same bunch, and then walk away with them. This is unacceptable for any dining establishment, let alone one under the Um Sherif name. Overall, the food had some high points, but the lack of attention to service and hygiene really impacted our experience. I hope the management takes these issues seriously to maintain the reputation built by the restaurant

Popped into Al Mallah on a whim and walked out pleasantly full and mildly pickled (thanks to the endless sides). We had the hummous, fattoush, and a mixed grill that came with their pickles and fluffy kuboos. Was it mind-blowing? Nah. But was it tasty? Absolutely. Everything was solid, well-seasoned, and arrived quicker than my willpower disappears near shawarma. For the price, it's an absolute steal in Dubai terms — proper value for money. Great spot if you're after a no-fuss feed that won't bankrupt you.

It’s not easy to find a good restaurant opening 24 hours, but Al Mallah is. The first time I came here was only to drink juice. The big glass has been already given me a deep impression. The second time we ordered the grilled platter. The taste was not bad. If lamb chop can be more tender, that will be better. But the whole experience is nice. Service and atmosphere were also acceptable. One suggestion is the menu. If you can point out which dishes can be recommended. This will be more understandable for the people who are not often eating Arabic food.😊

I had high expectations from Al Mallah given its reputation and the pricing—AED 9 for a shawarma is definitely above the usual rate in the Satwa area. I ordered two, assuming I’d be getting value for the price. Unfortunately, I was disappointed the moment I received the food. The shawarma was surprisingly small and did not justify the higher cost. What truly alarmed me was the poor hygiene and food handling practices I witnessed. The staff preparing the food was only wearing one glove on the right hand—which looked torn and dirty—while the left hand was completely bare. Worse, I noticed sweat from his arm coming into contact with the food. This raises serious food safety concerns, as there were no visible measures in place to control the temperature of vegetables and sauces either. To add to the experience, the service was very poor. When I politely asked for ketchup, I was simply dismissed and told to walk to another door to get it myself. There was no regard for customer service or cleanliness. Overall, my visit was extremely disappointing. Poor hygiene, lack of food safety protocols, and unprofessional service make it hard to recommend this place to anyone. I hope management seriously considers improving their standards, especially if they wish to continue charging premium prices.

Came here on a recommendation from a friend. Delicious food, casual setting. Delish!!! Very reasonable prices. And great veggie options!

Don't be fooled by the pictures in the app. What is this? You sent me a lot of food in the picture. What you sent me is child's food, not adult food. I'm really sorry for you. I'm sorry for the money I paid for this food.

Easy 5 stars for food Shawarma was so good especially the beef 🥩 one Chicken was ok 👍 Great taste of food Highly recommended

One of the best Shawarma I have ever tried!!! Chicken was really good! From the bread, to the sauce, chicken and fillings. Also on the affordable side. Lamb was not my favorite, but just a preference. Drinks look appetizing. Pelé tasted fresh. The Shawarma "logs" (?) are visible. Everything looks clean.

Babel at Dubai Mall is truly an exceptional dining experience! The ambiance is elegant with beautifully designed interiors and great seating that makes you feel both comfortable and luxurious. The food is absolutely delicious, with every dish full of authentic Lebanese flavors and presented so well. A special thanks to the beautiful Lujain, who was so attentive and made sure everything was perfect for us—her warm and professional service added so much to the experience. Also, appreciation to Khan & Mahmoud, who helped us find the perfect spot with great seating, making the whole evening even more enjoyable. Highly recommend Babel for anyone looking for amazing food, excellent service, and a beautiful atmosphere at Dubai Mall.

10/2025 We had a overnight layover in Dubai. We were hungry so chose this spot for its decor was really nice. The atmosphere was elegant and they have roof top seating. The servers were very helpful in describing the dishes and were a joy to be around. The food was absolutely amazing! Get the sea bass!!!! The next time I’m in Dubai, I am definitely gonna start back by here !

Today I visited Babel, a Lebanese restaurant located at the Dubai Mall, with a friend and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. The atmosphere was beautiful, with calm music and a stunning view that made the setting feel peaceful and refined. All the dishes we tried were delicious, but the standout was definitely the ravioli perfectly cooked, flavorful, and memorable. I also had a Passion Morijo, which was refreshing, well-balanced, and absolutely delightful. The customer service at Babel was outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended! Babel is a fantastic choice for anyone visiting Dubai Mall who’s looking for great Lebanese cuisine, a relaxing atmosphere, and impeccable service.

Absolutely outstanding experience at Babel in Dubai Mall! The service is on another level, extremely attentive, professional, and genuinely caring. You can really feel how much they value their guests. The food is incredibly fresh, and every dish is perfectly balanced in flavor and presentation. One of those places you’ll want to come back to every month. Highly recommended!

I had a truly wonderful experience at Babel restaurant . From the moment I walked in, the warm and traditional atmosphere made me feel welcome. The decor beautiful, and the service was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and genuinely hospitable. The food was the highlight of the evening. Every dish was rich in flavor and perfectly prepared—from the creamy hummus and fresh falafel. If you’re looking for authentic Arabic cuisine in a cozy setting, I highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely be returning soon.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Babel in Dubai Mall, and it completely exceeded my expectations! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with stunning views of the Dubai Fountain adding a magical touch to the experience. The menu is a true celebration of modern Lebanese cuisine, offering a perfect balance between traditional flavors and creative presentation. Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor – the hummus with meat, grilled seafood platter, and baked cheese rolls were absolutely divine. The ingredients tasted fresh and authentic, and you could tell a lot of care went into the preparation. Service was another highlight – the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being intrusive. They made excellent recommendations and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Whether you’re a local or visiting Dubai, Babel is definitely worth a stop – ideal for a relaxed lunch, romantic dinner, or a special celebration. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

I had a great experience at this restaurant in the mall, The food was delicious fresh, flavorful, and well-presented. The menu had a good variety of options, and everything we tried was cooked to perfection. The ambiance was comfortable and clean, and the staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. It’s a great spot to take a break from shopping and enjoy a quality meal. Definitely recommend

Stylish menu, but the flavor took a day off” Al Safadi in Rigga delivered on the surface the place looks nice, the staff had great service and a friendly attitude, and the food… well, it looked fantastic on the plate. But when it came to the taste? It felt like the kitchen hit the snooze button. I ordered a few classic dishes, hoping for something that would make my taste buds do a little happy dance. Unfortunately, it was more like a slow treadmill walk no rhythm, no spark. The food wasn’t bad just very meh. You know the kind of dishes you can get anywhere? That’s exactly it. The menu is gorgeous, seriously it makes you hungry just reading it. The atmosphere was good, and the staff made the experience pleasant. But the actual flavors didn’t quite live up to the visuals. Not a terrible spot by any means, just not quite worth the price for what you get. A place I’m happy I tried but probably won’t swipe right again.

The boti kebab, fresh off the skewers, was sheer enchantment—perfectly charred yet irresistibly tender, each morsel carrying that smoky depth which lingers long after the bite. So compelling, it demanded a reorder. The spread of Levantine flavors only deepened the indulgence: za’atar enlivened with pomegranate juice in the arayes, and a crisp, vibrant fattoush that struck the ideal balance of zest and freshness. Together, it was an assured display of Lebanese culinary finesse at its best.

Offer wide range of Lebanese food, from Appetiser to dessert. All food are well presented and nice flavoured. Do not skip the fig cheesecake as desert as it’s super delicious & creamy.

A surprising restaurant. The waiters are calm and patient. I thank the manager, the servers, especially Mélanie, for their kindness and their service. If you are in Deira disctrict, this is a place to discover for its good food. I recommend

As usual Al Safadi never dissapoint me it's my first visit to this branch since it was nearby my hotel food delicious tasty and up to my expectations we ordered mix grill it's 5 Skewers all tasty and juicy hummus, chicken liver and fried calamari,, all tasty and delicious as for prices normal for this brand medium high but worth paying service is fast and very good I highly recommend visiting if you staying in this area

Great to have breakfast here - generous serving! Good service by Wahida, Abdullah and Omar! Very prompt and responsive!

Amazing food and great flavors! The Hummus was absolutely delicious, full of rich and bold flavors. The Tabbouleh was fresh and well-balanced, and the Sandwich—so smooth and flavorful! And don't even get me started on the desserts—simply outstanding! Highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic and tasty food. Will definitely be back!

We decided to try this place on a whim as it seemed to be popular. It was a very lively place that got busy very quickly. The food and shisha were disappointing though, I'm not sure if our dish was meant to be slightly burnt, but that's how it was served.

Al Falamanki never disappoints! The food is always fresh and flavorful, with a wide variety of authentic Lebanese dishes to choose from. The ambiance is cozy yet lively, making it perfect for both gatherings with friends and family dinners. The staff is attentive and welcoming, which adds to the overall warm experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy great food in a charming atmosphere.

Al Falamanki isn’t just about great food—it’s also about outstanding service. From the moment you arrive, the staff are incredibly welcoming, attentive, and professional. They make you feel like a valued guest, always checking in without being intrusive. The service is prompt, and the team handles even the busiest hours with grace and efficiency. Whether you’re there for a casual meal or a special gathering, the staff go above and beyond to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. Their knowledge of the menu is impressive, and they’re happy to make thoughtful recommendations based on your preferences. It’s clear that hospitality is a top priority at Al Falamanki, which makes every visit feel special. Highly recommended for anyone who values not just good food, but also top-tier service and genuine hospitality.

The Falamanki in Dubai is a true escape into nostalgia. From the moment you walk in, you're transported to a charming old-world Beirut, with its interior filled with antique Lebanese tools, vintage décor, and traditional touches that tell a story in every corner. It’s not just a restaurant—it’s an experience. The shisha is excellent, smooth and flavorful, making it a great place to unwind with friends. Their drinks menu is also impressive, offering a variety of fresh juices, teas, and classic Lebanese options that perfectly complement the laid-back atmosphere. Whether you're coming for a relaxed evening, good conversation, or a taste of home, The Falamanki delivers a warm, authentic experience that blends culture, comfort, and quality in every detail.

Updated review: 10/10 After my 2nd visit, I’ve noticed a massive improvement. The food is great, the staff is helpful and the sheesha has improved and tastes incredible. Highly recommend this for all.

My style of place to have good food , amazing crowd and beautiful atmosphere. People playing cards , enjoying good music, great staff, and super fast service. The food is good , we tried a couple of dough with thyme , meat and pizza , I like a lot , also the chocolatemou was good. If you are not into smoke , this is not ur place, though.

I loved this place. The atmosphere is calm and cute. It has the old school charm. It's not one of those overhyped social media type of places. No, it's about good food and great service. The staff are amazing and friendly, always ready to assist. Will definitely come back.

Nice Lebanese resturant started on high note ...then they lost their track ...they don't know what they want with it, split to cafe and resturant ...then try to do cafe and lounge then back to cafe resturant ..then back to resturant ...When they started for sure the food was great then something went wrong and quality dropped a lot ...3 star maximum if not two if I am fair to the place in market full of competition...food quality and atmosphere max 3 stars

One of the best lebanese Restaurants in Dubai, they do have entertainment every weekend and food is great.

In ramadan , we to try new places , so mazaher was on entertainer and we wanted to try it , we went there its a set menu , appt and 1 main course and open buffet desert its a very decent restaurant with good food quality and generous portions , i liked it and i went in ramadan 3 times to this resturant

Food is good quality Lebanese at moderate prices. The service is very slow however.

the food is amazing and the service is beyond excellent, yet the price is a bit high

Tasty Lebanese food indeed and great service, and most of all excellent shisha

Excellent atmosphere. Delicious food friendly staff especially Hady

We tried chicken madhbhi, chicken mandi, haneeth and mutton mandi. Foods were very authentic and tasty. Service was very good. One thing keep in your mind is staffs except one or two only speak Arabic. If you know Arabic, the experience will be much better than others.

I had Mandi chicken and mandi mutton Briyani, served hot. Spinach and curd were missing here with the rice. Chicken soup was average. I liked Konafa more than Mandi Briyani. Tastier than other places. Perfectly cooked. Sweet syrup is served separately to mix. Parking is hectic. Sometimes you won't even find paid parking.

Very very delicious taste of Mandi with Yemeni style 😋😋😋😍 suggest to try Fahsa 👌🥳

Ordered mutton zurbian and chicken madfoon. Mutton zurbian had an off-putting smoky taste. Chicken madfoon was okay. Some pieces of mutton were bit hard to chew. The final tea was good

Ordered Fahsa from them, check the photos and you will understand better, not of the taste I have expected, it was too watery and tasted bland

Perfect place for Yemeni traditional food..the food quality and service are so good.. Try the Farsh fish, shrimps in red souce, madhbi chicken and the famouce delicious Yemeni bread Also Dont miss the chsnce to try the raisin juice.. No sugar added amd freshly made Cooling you down specially in the summer

Food was ok, not great. When we went there, they didn't have all the items mentioned on the menu. So had to settled with whatever they had. Overall it's ok for a meal once in a while.

Sirian food... Really good and tasty, we were 4 and we ordered 1kg meat + some starters, the food was delicious 😋 but was too much, also they brought dessert... Lemon mint was excellent. Sisha was also good

The food was just amazing. The staff service can be improved by adding more staff to help the service run smoothly. The pricing is a bit higher than what it's worth since there are many restaurants with the same, if not more, quality food at lower prices, which is pretty sad. The ambience is amazing. The place is huge and really well lit. There are two regions: smoking, which is downstairs, and non-smoking upstairs. I would recommend making a booking in advance if you're going for a smoking table; otherwise, it's fine since there will be plenty of space available on arrival. Overall a pretty nice place.

I love this place and literally had one of my best times here. I have had an invitation for 12 people and the staff made it one of our best dinning. MR mohamad and Mr. Saeed made our day. The food was a lot , great quality food , from mezza to grills to raw meats and all salads , really amazing. The best grills and best tawood I have had here. They also served us sweets and complimentary drinks. Really thankful for the kind hospitality and management. Must try place and don't leave without trying there kibbeh.

A spacious restaurant and café that has its pros and cons. To start with, they offer free valet parking, which is a nice touch, especially in a busy area,,, The food was enjoyable—well-prepared and flavorful, making it a good choice for a family meal. The staff were friendly and welcoming, though I did notice that the service could use some improvement, as it was a bit slow at times, 👌👌👌The restaurant has a play area, which is great if you're bringing kids along. However, it's a noisy place, so it might not be the best spot if you're looking for a quiet meal or a place to work. While the vibes were decent, it’s definitely more suited for larger gatherings or families rather than couples looking for a more intimate setting. Overall, Al Bait Al Shami is a solid option if you're dining out with family, especially with kids. Just be prepared for a bit of noise and a more relaxed service pace.

Had a wonderful experience at Al Bait Al Shami Restaurant! Thank you for the warm welcome and generous hospitality—it truly made us feel at home. The food was absolutely delicious, with authentic flavors that reminded us of true Levantine cuisine. A special thanks to Anas for his professionalism, kindness, and constant smile. His excellent service made our visit even more enjoyable. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Best traditional food , feels like a Syrian house courtyard with live music & water fountain. Compliments tea was a good surprise.

Really nice place to have breakfast, lunch or dinner. The location is close to DXB Airport so on the way back or after you land is a perfect choice. The menu is rich and so are the flavours of the food. Nice arabic food from cold mezze to grilled meat. Also the shisha is good and long lasting, the staff is very careful to help you choose the right dish and to make you feel welcome!

really awesome food, they have a legacy for a reason, totally recommend, we had the schezuan mix fired rice, chili chicken, kozhi porichatthu, gulabi jamun, blue orange drink, everything was perfect balance and taste, would definitely go again

we had a great time dining at Paragon Calicut. being no well versed with Malayali cuisine the waiter patiently listened to us and recommended us the dishes we enjoyed eating so much. i would give 9.5/10 on taste. my kids also enjoyed chinese dragon chicken. Chef special prawns starter CRA prawns was the highlight. Special mention to Mr Arush for assisting us with his knowledge n serving us as per reqd.

Very delicious food 😍 with resembles homely food! with very consistent flavors and maintaining taste for every visit... Its worth coming here... As always my favorite place to come to.. 🥰 All staff with amazing hospitality …Mr Sudheesh served us well… Wonderful experience..!!!!

No words to say about food and service especially Suresh was very good service, behaviour .genuinely I will suggest Al nahda paragon to all.

Waiting period was a lot. The food was good. Yummy tasting food. The paratha was really Nice.

They delivers memorable culinary experience. Their Appam and Beef Vindaloo is a must-try, perfectly seasoned. For something unique, the Fish Mango Curry offers a creative twist on a classic, Quality assurance is something I love about the Paragon group.

Visited as a family and friends group for dinner while visiting Dubai. Service and food were excellent. Friendly staff recommended dishes/portions as per groups needs. All the foods were up to the mark especially the legendary chicken biriyani. Porotta, beef fry and curry also the best. We shared several items. Portions are good too. Will visit again if coming back to the area. 5 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Can’t go wrong with egyptian koshari! Parking is a bit hectic in this area but I just pulled over outside the restaurant without any issue because it took me literally 3mins to walk out with koshari in my hand! So quick and efficient! And yummy koshari!

I ordered Koshari and rice pudding. I loved it, I went to this place on my Egyptian colleague recommendation. It serves authentic Egyptian staple food with easy on pocket and good hospitality. You must try this place.

Ate Koshari for the first time. Tasted well, this is like Indian khichadi customize it as per your liking! They serve you raw ingredients and flavors.

Best koshari in Dubai, with quality comparable to the main branch in Cairo. The mango juice is amazing and very affordable, and the service is really friendly. Highly recommended!

The food was excellent! I had the koshari , and it was cooked perfectly. The service was wonderful. Our waiter was so attentive and accommodating. The ambiance can be better they need improvement ... Overall, this was an incredible dining experience. ...and yes don’t miss their dessert and spicy sauce for your koshari …… I had a great experience at this restaurant!

Authentic Egyptian flavors with generous portions — the koshari is a must-try

It’s good. Definitely go for the small portion, as even that is still quite large.

Good option. Zam Zam Mandi near Deira is a fantastic choice for anyone craving authentic Arabian mandi in Dubai. The restaurant delivers perfectly cooked fragrant basmati rice paired with tender, flavorful meats such as lamb and chicken, prepared in traditional mandi style that truly satisfies the palate. The portions are generous, making it a great value for money, and the cozy yet vibrant ambiance adds to the dining experience.Highly recommended for both locals and visitors looking for the best mandi in Dubai.

Zam Zam Mandi’s Madhbi was flavorful with tender charcoal-grilled chicken and served with salad and soup. The restaurant offers both table and Arabic-style seating. They also include a complimentary sweet luqmiyat drizzled with honey syrup. Highly recommended for authentic, delicious cuisine.

Loved the place. Although packed and sometime have to wait. But it's worth the wait. Me and kids love the hamour mandi. Chicken mandi also good. The salad and sauces served with food are also awesome and adds more taste to the food. And the soup served before the meal is excellent and healthy.

Attentive staffs, they always checking whether you are happy. Nice food but beware with their biggg portion.

Amazing Mandi Experience!!! I absolutely loved the chicken mandi — it was flavorful, tender, and perfectly cooked! The fish mandi was also a delightful surprise — definitely worth trying if you’re up for something different. And don’t even get me started on the soup — it was simply awesome, warm, and comforting. Highly recommend this place for mandi lovers!

If you’re looking for one of the good spots for mutton masbi, Zam Zam is a great place to dine. The staff are very welcoming and accommodating, making for a pleasant dining experience." "Delicious mutton masbi and a warm, attentive staff. Highly recommend!"

Hands down amazing food. 👏 The mandi was very flavourful and soup, dessert was provided with Tea complemantary. Everything made it better with the friendly service with the staff. Special thanks to the staff, Mr. Sahil.

If you’re planning to have some good mandi chicken or meat — I highly recommend this restaurant next to the Mall of the Emirates, Dubai. I always order the spicy Mazbi chicken; it’s really delicious and worth the money. .Definitely recommend for dining it if you’re craving mandi or biryani!

The food was really good, and the portions were generous. I enjoyed the ambience and the service was excellent. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but overall it was a satisfying experience and worth a visit.

Probably the best Mandi I’ve had in Dubai. The Bukhara rice are so flavourful and meat so tender and perfectly done. The service can be a little slow but the food is so good I can look past that. Their kunafa is average but their rice and meat dishes never disappoint. Also the yoghurt they bring along is yummy too.

So tasty Yemeni/Arabic food! My favorites are chicken Mandi and mutton mandi. The starter is always a bowl of mutton broth soup.

Not so great. Did not even have the items mentioned on the menu. We went for Zurbian and they did not have in both chicken and meat. Asked for meat madfoon and that too they did not have. Went for chicken madfoon but did not have their authentic taste. Their soup also did not taste that great. The tomato chutney was the only thing good. Asked for 3 kunafas and it took them 15-20 mins to prepare and bring and it was not hot too.

One of the best Mandi restaurants in The UAE. The chicken Mandi still have the same authentic taste since 12 years and the portion of chicken is still big unlike many other Mandi restaurants where they reduce the size. The staff were very nice and helpful. Clean and well cooled and furnished. I recommend specially this branch. As the other branches may not deliver the same service quality.

They specialize in slow-cooked rice + meat dishes (mandi, mazbi, madfoon, etc.), plus BBQ items, appetizers, desserts (kunafa, luqaimat), and a variety of salads and soups

The meal was complete disappointment. The salad was rotten . the meat was dry, rough and flavourless, making it tough to eat. To top it off , there was a weird floury taste that felt off. Over all a highly unpleasant dining experience- I would not recommend this place unless significant improvements are made.

No doubt the food was good, but compared to other Zamzam branches, it didn’t quite live up to the mark. The rice quantity was less than expected and even the luqaimat with their signature black tea was just okay. Hoping they maintain the same standard across all branches!

The rice was amazing and the chicken flavor is really nice I really loved it. The meat portion was great comparing to the price but the meat was dry I always notice that. You guys need to work on the meet dry issue! The staff was really really helpful and treated us with care and smile and provided very good customer service, good job and keep up the good work zam zam Mandi team. The table was clean but the restaurant needs to smell more like cleaning. The salad was fresh and very tasty. The order came fast we waited only 10 minutes and the food was ready. Overl all experience good job zamzam Mandi team.

Awesome delicious food experienced here. First point to notify even in peak times service is best.Neat and tidy atmosphere and wash rooms. Summer season AC is good. Looks like partition curtain cloaths are stayed long. Table seating and floor seating available. Enjoyed very tasty mutton as lunch, various mutton mandi items are extreme and tasty at moderate cost. Side dishes and soup prepared deliciously. Getting parking in this area is a task, rear side parking available. Valet parking not available.Bill attached for price reference .

Been here multiple times with friends, food is fresh and good. Staff is accommodating and friendly. Definitely recommend

Scammed!! We came for mandi and they served us Haneeth coz they did not have Mandi and ended up charging us 148aed. The meat was cold and dry and we complained the same second they served us! The guy tells me that I touched the meat… and they cannot return it. Ridiculous service and behavior. Shabeer was there at the front desk! Really irresponsible behavior from him also. Do not recommend to go here.

The lamb with rice (shank, shoulder or ribs) is exceptional, better to preorder to make sure it is available. The price/quality is excellent. Nice atmosphere if you are sitting outside or in the private room (for an authentic experience), otherwise very average. Don’t miss the spicy mango to go with the meat.

Visited it on the opening day 30th Nov 2020. To be honest this is the biggest grocery place I have ever visited in uae yet with a huge parking basement. There’s nothing which you can’t find it here. The only issue is because it’s a newly opened store that’s why even staff doesn’t know the exact placement of particular item. Organic food, butchery, clothing, shoes, electronics and you name it. Everything in one place. Go grab your deals because upto 80% off is there for 4-5 days. Definitely visiting it every month for my monthly groceries.

Such an amazing little gen of a park. So much to do everyday. This will be my go to weekend adventure place.

Very nice, I think it's more of a locals place. Felt like I shouldn't be there. No one was mean or rude. People looked confused when they saw me and avoided me.

A new mall in the region with middle-eastern Restaurants, cafés, shop for gaming accessories, flower shop, large parking area, and a huge hypermarket with couple of small eat-in outlets. I found the place very clean, well maintained, not very crowded even though I visited here on a weekend evening.

I visited during Ramadan by 11 PM for Suhoor, and most of the best dishes were already over. The food I tried was okay, not great, but worth the price. They need to improve their service timings, and parking is a big problem there

Quite disappointed with my recent experience at this restaurant. The food took nearly 1.5 hours to arrive, and the meat portion was very small for the price paid — most of it was bones rather than actual meat. The service and value for money were below expectations. I hope the management improves both the food quality and service time.

Mawared Al Jood had disappointing food, lacking in flavor and quality. However, the service was good, with friendly and attentive staff. While the experience was pleasant in terms of hospitality, the food definitely needs improvement.

Guys, this is probably the third or fourth time I’ve visited Mavared Al Jood Mandi. The last three times, I wasn’t sure if I should post a review or not. But I’ve decided to share my thoughts because this place is quite popular and crowded on weekends, and many people in this area are curious about it. Over my visits, I’ve tried: Mandi (normal) – AED 27 Mandi (spicy) – AED 34 Madhbi – tried long ago, price similar to regular mandi My experiences have been mixed. Some people might wonder, “If you didn’t fully enjoy it, why keep going back?” Well, even when there are things we’re not fully satisfied with, we sometimes return to places because they’re nearby, convenient, or because friends or family want to eat there. In my opinion, the big crowd here is mostly because of the restaurant’s popularity and beautiful food presentation rather than the taste alone. For me personally, the mandi’s flavor doesn’t stand out as exceptional. That’s just my taste preference, as I enjoy Indian food that’s spicy and full of bold flavors. At Mavared Al Jood: The chicken in the mandi feels a bit bland for my liking, almost like it’s half-boiled or lacking strong spices. Twice, I tried the normal mandi and wasn’t satisfied. So this time, I switched to the spicy version, hoping for a change. But even the spicy mandi didn’t feel truly spicy to me. I expected a spicy gravy or masala on the chicken, but instead, it was simply grilled chicken served with mandi rice. However, there are plenty of positives worth mentioning: Staff behavior is excellent. They’re polite and attentive. The presentation of the food is beautiful. They serve a nice soup before the meal and tea plus sweet balls afterward, which adds a great touch to the dining experience. In terms of pricing, AED 27 for a portion of mandi might feel high, but considering the quantity, service, and the overall dining experience, it’s quite reasonable. For example, I bought a 27 AED mandi and shared it with friends and family, and it was enough to fill two people. Similarly, buying three spicy mandis for three people felt sufficient. My Conclusion Mavared Al Jood Mandi is definitely a hot spot where the luxury of ambiance and food presentation attract people more than the taste itself—at least for the few dishes I’ve tried. It’s a great place if you want: A neat and spacious dining area A bit of privacy A beautifully presented meal I’m sure there are other dishes on the menu that might be tastier—I’ve only tried these three items so far, so my opinion is limited to that experience. Like I always mention in my reviews: budget-conscious friends, plan your visit knowing you might spend a bit more than usual. But in the end, we only live once, so it’s worth exploring new places and tastes. You probably won’t regret visiting Mavared Al Jood Mandi. Thanks for reading!

I tried Beef Nalli Cooker Mandi was excellent and unique taste which I never had in UAE, this dish is masterpiece… Taste is good beef pieces melts in mouth when compared to money- Suggestion to have food there ( I will not recommend to take away) Ambience was great but we feel hot inside air condition to be maintained. When matters come to Hospitality Mr.Aslam kaka he is very good and dedicated serves food with smiling faces all the staffs are very good… Must visit place…, Parking first come first serve or there is many near the street. Family audience can accommodate very nicely, no doubts for privacy especially for locals and Indian family. Over all 4/5 I am very happy… Adi poli food keto……! Habibi yalla don’t wait must try…

We have ordered Turkish beef mandi from here. The beef was too soft, juicy and tender. It tasted very good. I would strongly recommend the item for everyone. The rice was also good. Normally the place is not too crowded. It is little difficult to find a parking spot here.

Absolutely loved the mutton haneeth and beef ribs. It was the best Mandi I had in my all my life. I would recommend anyone who comes to Dubai to try their Mandi.

Whenever I want to eat Mandi (Yameni Dish), Bait Al Mandi is my first choice. The Best Taste of Mandi, so yummy and delicious in taste perfectly cooked and professionally served. They have many branches in Sharjah and Dubai, but this branch is the best as parking is available right in front of the restaurant. And the staff is very friendly especially Mr. Ibrahim on the reception counter. They have both types of the sitting arrangements like the separate family traditional sitting rooms and on the tables. Today I ordered the authentic chicken Mandi and Mutton madfoon spicy. For those who like Mutton it's a must try dish on my special recommendation. And don't forget to enjoy the kunafa, and the tea right in front of the cash counter. (Tea is unlimited and free for all)

Bait Al Mandi’s Chicken Mandi plate is a perfect blend of tender, juicy chicken and aromatic rice, served with authentic flavors that feel truly traditional. A must-try dish for anyone who loves rich and satisfying mandi!

We ppl are inspired by the service of the restaurants but we forget to praise the person serving us food.. I am praising a Yemeni Person serving us food in the restaurant.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 We tried Mutton Mandi, Chicken Mandi, along with plenty of soups 🍲 Mutton Mandi is the best of all. One of the best Mandi restaurants of all time. Only problem we face is too much ppl creating too much noise. Try to maintain silence instead of laughing and making noise Today,Another visit, makes us feel pleasure.. we enjoyed a lot..

One of the Bait Al mandi restaurant in Sharjah. Situated opposite to bank street. Opens from 12 to 12am. They have variety of food options available. Like fish,quail, chicken and mutton. Parking is available. Interior and decoration is good. Majlis facility is available there. Food quality is good. Service is okay, needs to improve the quality of service. Separate Toilet facility is available for men and women. Wheelchair accessible entrance is not there. They do accept payment as cash and Card. They do delivery also.

Good food..depends on the item you’re selecting.Chicken kabsa was the best I’ve had in uae and as well as I’ve had mutton madfoun which was normal.the quantity was more than enough for 2 of us.Even the price was not on higher side as comparing to other Mandi restaurants

I’m really not a fan of any kind of mutton dish until I tasted mutton mandi in this restaurant, then everything changes to the point that I keep on going back here. 😅 I like how they cook the mutton. You can really savor the meat that was cooked well leaving delicious aftertaste. 😋Also their staff is doing a commendable job of attending every customer request as fast as they could. Lastly, this place can both cater a fun social gathering with friends and a private dining with loved ones or family in their secluded room. 👍 P.S : they also offer different dishes (check their menu) not just mandi. But I like how they cook their Mutton Mandi though😅

We arw from Saif Al Naqbi Group! We ordered the chicken mandi, the chicken was incredibly tender and juicy, with a perfect blend of spices that added a burst of flavor. The rice was fluffy and fragrant, with a hint of sweetness that complemented the savory chicken perfectly. We were all impressed by the generous portion sizes, and the dish was more than enough to satisfy our appetites. The service was friendly and efficient, and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was welcoming and inviting. If you're looking for a delicious and satisfying lunch option, I highly recommend giving Yemeni chicken mandhi a try. It's a truly unique and flavorful dish that's sure to please even the pickiest of eaters. Must try!✨️

We recently had the pleasure of trying some delicious mandi and it was simply yummy! All throughout, from the tender and juicy chicken to the fragrant and flavorful rice, every bite was filled with a delightful taste that was a pleasure to experience. We highly recommend giving this dish a try, as it is a surefire way of having a memorable and enjoyable dinner.

The food was tasty and well-prepared, but unfortunately the service was very disappointing. The staff were not friendly and the overall customer experience was poor. I hope the management improves their service, because the food deserves better.
