The Dubai Mall is undoubtedly one of the finest and most well-managed malls in the world. Every visit is a pleasant experience, combining luxury, comfort, and convenience in one incredible destination. The variety of shops, restaurants, and attractions is simply unmatched — from high-end fashion brands to cozy cafés and family-friendly entertainment options. The entire mall is immaculately clean and beautifully maintained. The management has clearly put great effort into ensuring that visitors feel comfortable at all times. One of the most thoughtful features is the prayer area, which is quiet, spacious, and well-organized. The ablution (wudu) facilities are spotless and conveniently located, allowing both men and women to perform prayers with ease and peace of mind. The customer service throughout the mall is excellent; staff members are always courteous, professional, and helpful. Whether you’re shopping, dining, or simply exploring, The Dubai Mall offers an outstanding experience that reflects the true spirit of Dubai — modern, welcoming, and world-class. Highly recommended for tourists and residents alike. A must-visit destination that continues to set the standard for excellence in shopping and leisure.

The Dubai Mall transcends the concept of a traditional shopping mall. It's a city in itself, a true shopper's paradise. The array of entertainment is impressive: the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, the Dubai Fountain, Human Waterfalls, and even an ice skating rink. Its unprecedented scale and the combination of shops, restaurants, and attractions make it an overwhelming yet unforgettable experience.

🏙️ The Dubai Mall – More Than a Mall, It’s a World of Its Own! 🌟🇦🇪 The Dubai Mall isn’t just a shopping center — it’s truly a city within a city! The sheer scale and grandeur of this place are beyond imagination. From luxury shopping and gourmet dining to entertainment, leisure, and sightseeing, it offers an experience unlike anywhere else in the world. Every corner has something extraordinary — from the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo to the breathtaking Dubai Fountain, which lights up the evenings with a spectacular show of music, light, and water. Whether you’re there for a day or a week, you’ll still find something new every time. The ambience, cleanliness, and world-class facilities make it a global benchmark for modern retail and recreation. Simply put, it’s not a mall — it’s a miracle of design, innovation, and experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable destination that defines Dubai’s grandeur — a must-visit for anyone who steps foot in the city! 🌆✨
Bhupendra J — Google review
One of the most iconic malls in the world and definitely one of the main attractions of Dubai if not the “main” attraction. Located next to the Burj Khalifa in Downtown Dubai, it covers over 1 million square meters and offers more than 1,200 retail stores, luxury boutiques, and a wide range of dining options. It’s not just a mall, it’s a major entertainment destination. Inside, you’ll find attractions such as the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, the Olympic-sized Dubai Ice Rink, the Dubai Fountain just outside, and themed zones like the Gold Souk and Fashion Avenue. The mall also houses VR Park, cinemas, and numerous flagship global brands. The mall is enormous and it needs minimum of 1 full day only dedicated to it. It’s a destination by itself.

⭐ A World of Its Own — Absolutely Spectacular! Dubai Mall is hands down one of the most amazing places I’ve ever visited. It’s not just a shopping mall — it’s a full experience! 🛍️🌟 From luxury brands to affordable shops, from the incredible aquarium to the dancing fountains, every corner has something breathtaking. The mall is spotlessly clean, beautifully designed, and surprisingly easy to navigate despite its size. There are endless restaurants, entertainment options, and places to explore — you can easily spend an entire day here and still not see it all! The atmosphere is vibrant, family-friendly, and truly world-class. ✨🌍 Whether you’re shopping, sightseeing, or just enjoying the ambiance, Dubai Mall is an absolute must-visit.

A very large, stylish and clean shopping mall, with a variety of different brands to shop from... It has a variety of different cafes and special restaurants for every taste, but if you go, be sure to bring a hoodie because it's freezing. It also has an aquarium, which is a very interesting experience, especially for children.

Aquarium
Nature & Parks
Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo is a must-visit attraction in Dubai, especially for families. It features an impressive underwater tunnel, glass-bottom boat tours, and a diverse collection of over 140 sea life species. The aquarium houses the largest collection of Sand Tiger sharks globally and offers close encounters with various marine creatures like seahorses, starfish, and jellies. Visitors can also interact with friendly sea animals at touch tanks.
Visiting the aquarium at Dubai Mall is an experience that combines tranquility and awe in a truly unique way. The place feels both vast and intimate at the same time, you can stroll through (extremely clean) glass tunnels surrounded by marine life, yet still feel a calming sense of peace. The atmosphere is beautiful, clean, and serene, offering moments for reflection and pure enjoyment of the fascinating creatures. The staff are helpful and attentive, and everything is well organized. For those seeking a bit more excitement, there are opportunities to touch a shark, swim with them, or even interact with penguins, unforgettable experiences that make the visit even more special. Overall, this is a wonderful 1–2 hour experience, perfect for both adults and children. Highly recommended, worth every minute.
Nils V — Google review
Slightly pricey buy was worth it. My son loved it. A lot of animals, fish, insects and even some large crocodiles and much more to see here. Some intractive areas where kids can feed or touch the fish. Expected a bit more from the glass bottom boat ride, it was very noisy and couldn't clearly hear the guide was saying. Overall experience was very good though.
Millissa G — Google review
The Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo in Dubai Mall is truly a superb and completely justifies its reputation as a world-class attraction. You can see main tank wall in Dubai Mall's 2 floors—it's one of the world's largest suspended aquarium. Just seeing the colossal acrylic panel is amazing, but walking through the 48-meter Underwater Tunnel is the real experience as you can see sea life through the glass. The Underwater Zoo upstairs is also good experience. You can see the legendary Croc, Gentoo Penguins, otters, and various reptiles and nocturnal creatures.
Bharat D — Google review
Absolutely stunning experience! The Dubai Underwater Aquarium is like stepping into another world. The massive tunnel with sharks, rays, and colorful fish swimming all around was mesmerizing. Everything was well-maintained and the marine life variety was incredible. A must-visit when in Dubai Mall!

really fun place to visit. walkthru tunnel with loads of rays and sharks as well as plenty of colorful fish. Zoo area had a nice variety of animals . Always lots of fun watching otters and penguins. Otter encounter was the best, learn a lot about the animals and actually get to shake hands.

I visited the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo and it was an absolutely stunning experience! Everything was well-maintained, and the marine life displays were truly impressive. It’s a little pricey, but definitely worth visiting at least once for the unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!
Khalid O — Google review
The Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo is truly a spectacular experience that completely justifies its reputation as a world-class attraction. ​The sheer size of the main tank is absolutely awe-inspiring—it's one of the world's largest suspended aquariums, holding a massive 10 million liters of water. Just seeing the colossal acrylic panel from the Dubai Mall is impressive, but walking through the 48-meter Underwater Tunnel is the real highlight. Being enveloped by the tank on all sides gives an unforgettable, immersive feeling as sharks and rays glide right overhead. ​The collection of marine life is stunningly vast and diverse, boasting over 33,000 aquatic animals from more than 140 species. A notable feature is that it's home to the largest collection of Sand Tiger Sharks in the world! Beyond the main tank's sharks, rays, and huge schools of fish, the Underwater Zoo upstairs offers even more unique encounters. You can see the legendary King Croc, an immense 750kg Australian saltwater crocodile, as well as captivating Gentoo Penguins, playful otters, and various reptiles and nocturnal creatures. ​For anyone who loves marine life or wants to be stunned by the scale of a truly grand aquarium, this is an absolute must-visit. It's a mesmerizing journey into the heart of the ocean, all set within the impressive architecture of the Dubai Mall.
Jayaraj S — Google review
Amazing aquarium, but one thing to be aware of is if you start from the top floor, ask how to get to the ground floor to see the main fishes! We missed out on a good chunk! You can see the big fishes from outside within the mall on the lower floors. Wished we went through the under water tunnel with my young one!

Observation Decks & Towers
The Burj Khalifa is an iconic 828-meter skyscraper in Dubai, known as the world's tallest building. It offers a unique experience with observation decks on the 124th, 125th, and 148th floors, providing breathtaking views of the city from different heights. The tower also features a restaurant, hotel, and offices. At its base lies the man-made Burj Khalifa Lake where visitors can enjoy the mesmerizing Dubai Fountain show every night.
Definitely recommend it! We booked it for 4 to 5 however we could actually get in around 6 pm so make sure you have enough time for it. The line up was so long but everything was under control. Wish there were better policies with covid as there were no physical distances there. Overall, I would call it the unique experience!

We purchased tickets a day in advance, and the waiting time was minimal. Prices for souvenirs and refreshments were also quite reasonable. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dubai. The tour at the top took us a little over an hour. I suggest going after 4 in the afternoon to enjoy a beautiful sunset.

Experience the awe-inspiring majesty of the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, like never before!

Ascend to dizzying heights in the high-speed elevator and be transported to a realm where the clouds seem within reach. As you step onto the observation deck, prepare to be spellbound by panoramic views stretching as far as the eye can see, a mesmerizing tapestry of modern marvels and natural beauty. Whether you're a thrill-seeking adventurer, a history buff, or simply in search of jaw-dropping vistas, the Burj Khalifa promises an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages. Dare to reach new heights and embark on an unforgettable journey to the top of the world!

I don't know how to receive lightning anymore, I can only say that Burj Khalifa is the tallest roof in the world today. The tower has more than 120 floors and modern luxury design, all with elevators for convenient movement. The building is located in the center of the city. Must visit when coming to Dubai, everyone.

The Burj Khalifa is amazing! It's the tallest building globally, and you feel like you're on top of the world when you're up there. The view is mind-blowing, especially during sunset. The elevator is super fast, and you can see the whole city from the observation deck. It's a bit pricey, but totally worth it for this once-in-a-lifetime experience!

I have had the opportunity to visit on multiple occasions, and I must say that each time I am in awe of the grandeur of the world's largest tower. The architectural design is truly exceptional and showcases remarkable creativity. The tower's facade, adorned with vibrant colors, constantly hosts a variety of captivating events. Dubai boasts a truly remarkable and iconic landmark that shines and dazzles, captivating the world with its brilliance.

The world's highest skyscraper of all time. Not only is this the world's tallest skyscraper, but it's also Dubai's most exquisite work of urban planning and architecture. AMAZING If you have the opportunity to examine the masterpiece up close from the outside as well as from the top of the structure, you should be able to appreciate what I mean. The inside staff provided excellent service and the staff members were nice. The view was also spectacular.

Words cannot express the feelings when you visit this magnificent place and a landmark of Dubai. It's huge and equally beautiful. The building itself is alive and becomes charismatic by evening with brilliant lighting and is topped up by a fountain show every 10 minutes. It's a hypnotising place and you want to be here again and again.

Fountain
Sights & Landmarks
The Dubai Fountain is a mesmerizing aquatic show located at the base of the Burj Khalifa, offering captivating displays of water, music, and light. With water jets reaching impressive heights and choreographed performances set to a variety of musical melodies, it provides a spectacular sensory experience for visitors of all ages. It's recommended to secure a viewing spot in advance for popular evening shows and consider enjoying the display from nearby restaurants or cafes. The fountain operates daily with evening shows being particularly popular.
It’s free, family-friendly, and one of the most unforgettable experiences in Dubai. A must-visit for anyone in the city! It absolutely mesmerizing and one of the highlights of visiting Downtown Dubai. Set right in front of the iconic Burj Khalifa and next to The Dubai Mall, it offers a spectacular water, music, and light show that feels magical every single time. The shows usually run every 30 minutes in the evening, and each performance is different—sometimes elegant and calm, sometimes powerful and dramatic. The synchronization of the water jets (shooting up to 150 meters!) with the music and lights is breathtaking, especially against the shimmering Burj Khalifa backdrop. I recommend go in Apple Store floor 1 and to out balcony (it's free). Arriving a little early to get a good spot along the waterfront promenade. Watching it at night is particularly stunning when the city lights reflect on the water. You can also take an abra (traditional boat) ride on the lake for a unique close-up view.
Ton T — Google review
The fountain show was spectacular. We went on a boat ride with a firm called ‘at the top’ - really good but lots of queueing to get tickets, then to get on the boat etc…. We were nearly late for the show! The show itself was incredible but o would say perhaps the people that had the best view were those eating their evening meals in the restaurant balconies over looking the lake! Something to think about next time rather than queueing and paying for a boat ride! Dinner and a show!
Hirsch T — Google review
The Dubai Fountain is one of those experiences that really captures the spirit of Dubai – bold, impressive, and beautifully executed. Every show feels different because the music, choreography, and lights combine in a way that makes the whole area come alive. Watching the water jets shoot up to incredible heights in perfect sync with classical, Arabic, or even contemporary music is mesmerizing. I recommend arriving a bit early, especially in the evenings, since the area around Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall gets very busy. The view is best from the promenade near Souk Al Bahar or the lower ground level of Dubai Mall where you’re closer to the water. If you want something extra, booking a spot on one of the boats that float in the lake gives you a unique front-row perspective. The shows are short (just a few minutes each) but they happen frequently, so even if you miss one you don’t have to wait long for the next. Nighttime performances are the most magical because of the combination of lights and the illuminated Burj Khalifa as a backdrop. Families will find the area safe and convenient – there are plenty of restaurants and cafes with terrace seating if you prefer to watch while dining. The atmosphere is lively, yet still family-friendly. However, it’s not the best place if you’re hoping for a quiet, peaceful stroll – the crowds are part of the experience. Overall, this is a must-see in Dubai. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, the fountain always feels special. It’s not just a tourist attraction – it’s a world-class performance staged in the heart of the city. Definitely worth planning an evening around it!
H A — Google review
The Dubai Fountain is truly a mesmerizing experience! Located right next to the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, it’s one of the most magical sights in the city. The combination of water, lights, and music creates a breathtaking show that feels straight out of a movie.The best part is that it’s completely free to watch and happens every 30 minutes in the evening. Each show is different, with beautiful songs and perfectly timed water movements. The reflections on the lake and the backdrop of the Burj make it even more stunning.It does get quite crowded, so it’s a good idea to reach a bit early for the best spot. Watching the show just after sunset gives you the perfect mix of daylight and city lights.

Majestic Dubai Fountain: A Must-Visit Spectacle in the Heart of the City. If you're in Dubai, the Dubai Fountain is a must-visit spot that captures the city's blend of wonder and extravagance. This majestic place sits right in front of the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall, turning a simple water feature into a free, mesmerizing show. Expect jets of water shooting up to 140 meters high, synced to lights, music, and even occasional dancers on the surface—it's like a symphony in liquid form. The show lasts about 5 minutes, repeating every half hour, and draws crowds that feel electric yet orderly. How to Reach There - Getting to the Dubai Fountain is straightforward and part of the adventure. From Dubai International Airport, hop on the Dubai Metro (Red Line) to Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station—it's just a 20-30 minute ride and costs around AED 5-7. Exit via the mall and follow the signs to the fountain; you're there in 5 minutes. If driving, use Sheikh Zayed Road and park at the Dubai Mall. Pro tip: Avoid peak traffic (7-9 AM or 5-8 PM) for smoother sailing. What to Expect - You'll find a massive, crescent-shaped basin (275 meters long) flanked by the world's tallest building and a luxury mall buzzing with shoppers. The atmosphere is lively—families picnic on the lawns, couples stroll the bridges, and street performers add flair. It's free to watch, but the vibe shifts from relaxed daytime dips to a full-on spectacle at dusk. Just brace for crowds; it's popular for a reason. Best Timings of the Day - While the fountain dances from afternoon till late, the night time view is better by far. Shows run Wednesday to Sunday from 6 PM to 11 PM (every 30 minutes), with extra flair during weekends. Arrive by sunset (around 6 PM in winter, 7 PM in summer) for that golden-hour magic transitioning to neon-lit drama. Daytime (from 1 PM) is fine for a casual peek, but the lights and reflections make evenings unforgettable—skip midday heat if you can. Tips for the Best Pictures and Videos - To capture those envy-worthy shots, ensure you reach timely to take a best place to click pictures. Stake out spots 15-20 minutes early: the Burj Khalifa Lake bridges offer prime angles for wide shots framing the tower, while the Dubai Mall's Souk side gives closer, intimate views. Use a tripod for steady videos during the music swells. Shoot in burst mode to nail water arcs mid-leap, and enable HDR for those glowing lights against the dark sky. Follow the fountain show + Burj views by timing your pans—start wide on the sprays, zoom to the Burj's silhouette, and catch the finale splash. Low-light mode on your phone works wonders, but a wide-angle lens elevates it. Bonus: Visit on a weekday for fewer elbows in your frame. In short, the Dubai Fountain isn't just a show—it's Dubai's heartbeat. Plan for an evening visit, and you'll leave with memories (and media) that sparkle. Rating: 5/5 – Pure magic!

Most definitely one of the main highlights of any Dubai trip and an unforgettable experience.

The Dubai Fountain is truly an unforgettable experience. The way the water, lights, and music come together is simply beautiful. I especially loved the moments when the fountain danced to Arabic music — it created a magical atmosphere that felt both cultural and emotional. The choreography of the water jets moves perfectly with the rhythm, making it a must-see show for anyone visiting Downtown Dubai. Highly recommended!
Shahmir A — Google review
Absolutely lovely place. Gets a little crowded, but still you can get a decent place to enjoy the show. The fountain runs every 30 minutes for 2-4 minutes, every time it's a different performance, so that is absolutely stunning. Definitely would recommend visiting and if you don't mind spending 20AED (and getting a little spray) - definitely check out the deck. It has beautiful view close to the water sprays, but no seating arrangements. Hope this helps 🙏

Zabeel Park is one of my favorite places in Dubai. It’s so peaceful and beautifully maintained, with wide open green spaces, tall trees, and lovely walking paths that make it perfect for a morning jog or an evening stroll. The park feels calm and refreshing, a real escape from the busy city. I love sitting by the lake or finding a quiet spot under the shade to just relax. The view of the Dubai Frame is stunning, especially when the sun sets behind it. There are also clean facilities, nice play areas for kids, and plenty of space for families and friends to enjoy a picnic together. Every visit to Zabeel Park feels relaxing and recharging — it’s truly one of Dubai’s best spots for nature lovers.

"I recently visited Zabeel Park in Dubai and had an amazing time! The park is within walking distance from the Max Metro Station, making it super accessible. Just take exit 3 and it's just a 10-minute walk. The park is perfect for a relaxing weekend with family and kids. It's neat, clean, and has everything you need for a great day out. You can enjoy the green spaces, take a stroll, or simply chill out. There are plenty of food options too, so you can grab a bite and make a day of it. I also picked up my bib and t-shirt for the Dubai Run 2025, and the whole experience was great. If you're looking for a spot to unwind and have some quality time with family, Zabeel Park is a great choice

Looking for a great place to unwind in Dubai? You have to check out Zabeel Park. It's this huge, beautiful green space that’s perfect for families.

Roseanne S — Google review
Dubai Frame is consistently reviewed as a unique and impressive cultural landmark. The Experience: Visitors are guided through a multi-part experience: Past Gallery: A multimedia exhibition showcasing Dubai's transformation from a fishing village to a modern metropolis. Present Dubai (Sky Deck): The main attraction. Visitors enjoy panoramic views from the 150-meter-high sky bridge. Looking one way offers views of "Old Dubai" (Deira, Karama), while the other frames "New Dubai" (Burj Khalifa, skyscrapers), symbolizing the city's past and future. The Thrill: The most exciting part is the central stretch of transparent glass floor on the Sky Deck, which becomes clear as you step on it, offering a thrilling view 150 meters straight down. Future Gallery: A final stop that offers a glimpse into the city's ambitious plans for the future. Value for Money: Many reviewers note that the Dubai Frame is a budget-friendly alternative to the Burj Khalifa's observation deck, offering a great, all-encompassing overview of the city for a much lower cost. Aesthetics and Architecture: The structure itself, a massive, gold-colored stainless steel frame, is considered spectacular and a striking piece of architecture. Crowds and Timing: Be prepared for crowds, especially on the glass floor, as everyone wants a photo. Visiting around sunset is often recommended as the best time for views. Zabeel Park is a popular, expansive green space in the heart of Dubai that is home to the Dubai Frame. Size and Ambiance: It is one of Dubai's largest parks, described as a lush, tranquil oasis equivalent in size to 45 football fields. Activities & Attractions: The park is known for its wide range of recreational and entertainment facilities, making it ideal for families: Family Fun: Features extensive children's play areas, obstacle courses, and designated picnic and barbecue spots. Sports & Fitness: Includes jogging tracks, a pedestrian path, a fitness center, and facilities for mini-golf, skating, and a BMX track. Seasonal Events: It hosts seasonal attractions like the Dubai Garden Glow and the Dubai Flea Market (in cooler months). Other Features: There are beautiful fountains, water features, a boating lake, an amphitheater, and even an internal train to help navigate the large grounds. Convenience: Admission to Zabeel Park is sometimes included with the Dubai Frame ticket. It's also conveniently located near public transport, such as the Max Metro Station (Red Line). Tips: Visitors recommend going during the cooler months to fully enjoy the outdoor amenities and activities.

Thai restaurant
Thiptara is a contemporary Thai restaurant located in Dubai, offering a unique dining experience with its picturesque views of the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain. The venue provides both indoor and al-fresco seating options, allowing guests to enjoy Bangkok-style seafood while taking in the stunning surroundings. Chef de Cuisine Chaiwats presents signature dishes such as crab cakes, duck spring rolls, and grilled black cod with BBQ sauce.
I loved my experience at the restaurant and really enjoyed the food. My only comment would be, for the rice to be sticky jasmine rice that’s quite suitable and authentic to Thai cuisine, the rice we received was regular rice which seemed strange. and to elevate the experience especially since the prices are quite premium. By elevate I mean it would be nice to have the rice served out of bamboo baskets, and for the plates to have a more authentic kind of feel just to give it all a rounded feeling, the architecture of the space is beautiful, the view is too, and the taste of the food, I feel the plating and serving should be an experience too, since the plating was really normal.

Thiptara offers a memorable Thai brunch experience that stands out for its authenticity, ambiance, and attentive service. One of the best aspects is that instead of a typical open buffet, you order directly from a well-curated à la carte menu — ensuring each dish is freshly prepared and beautifully presented. The flavors were spot on — from fragrant curries to vibrant salads and perfectly cooked seafood, every bite felt true to Thai culinary tradition. The variety was generous yet focused, and the quality was exceptional throughout. Service was warm, professional, and consistently attentive without being overbearing. The stunning views of the Dubai Fountain and Burj Khalifa added an extra touch of magic to an already impressive setting. For those seeking a refined, authentic brunch with a personal touch, Thiptara is a must-visit. Highly recommended.

The beginning of the experience was amazing, the lovely entrance, the front desk and their smiles, then we were waited by an amazing friendly person called Salah. He was super attentive. The food was absolutely mouthwatering. Great variety, all fabulous. View is spectacular! Right on the fountain. I absolutely loved this place.
Mohamed A — Google review
The place is nice , but I believe that there is a gap in the management where I booked and confirmed and received an sms to find later that there is no reservation and they related this to the system ( seven rooms ) ! Then I booked for outdoors to be supervised that there is no place to sit outdoors while a table next to me was moved after being seated in 10 min. Food is v good , staff is good, but you don’t feel that you had an experience. All the best

An unforgettable dining experience at Thiptara - Palace Downtown! Every dish of their creative Thai cuisine was beautifully presented, fresh, and full of flavor. We celebrated a birthday and chose the outdoor seating — the view of the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountain was absolutely stunning, with a romantic and elegant atmosphere. A big thank you to Dilli for his warm and attentive service ,he surprised us with a birthday cake and even sang the birthday song himself, making the night extra special. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a romantic dinner or a perfect spot to celebrate a birthday in Dubai!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thiptara Dubai — A Truly Magical Thai Experience If you’re craving authentic Thai food in Dubai, head to Thiptara without a second thought! What incredible food, exceptional service, and a breathtaking location right by the Dubai Fountain. Our table attendant was so kind and helpful, guiding us through the menu with great recommendations. We started with the Papaya Salad and Vegetable Spring Rolls — both fresh and bursting with flavor. For mains, we tried a delicious variety of fish, prawn fried rice, soups, and other Thai classics. Dessert was the perfect ending — the Mango Sticky Rice and Water Chestnut Dessert were absolutely divine. The cocktails were fantastic, the atmosphere serene, and the view of the Dubai Mall Fountain Show made the entire experience unforgettable. An absolutely mind-blowing dining experience from start to finish — Thiptara truly deserves the highest praise! 🌿🍹 Note - never given 5star to anyone before !! Insta - review_honestly & sailorvinayak

Logma is a modern take on traditional Emirati and Khaleeji cuisine, making it accessible to locals, expats, and tourists. The restaurant offers a mix of authentic dishes like chebab and balaleet alongside signature items such as chicken shawarma paratha and butter chicken. Its contemporary design incorporates Khaleeji elements with a modern twist, providing stunning views of the iconic Dubai Fountain.
From the moment I walked into the restaurant , I felt genuinely welcomed. The staff were warm, professional, and incredibly attentive. Despite the summer heat, they went out of their way to make me comfortable — even the captain order guy Homam he brought me ice and adjusting my seating without me asking. The atmosphere was cozy, the service thoughtful, and the food absolutely delicious. It felt less like dining out and more like being hosted at home. I can’t wait to return!

I recently visited Logma at Dubai Mall, and it was super easy to find since it’s conveniently located near Fashion Avenue. The ambiance was lovely, offering both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor area, in particular, has a stunning view of the fountain, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. The service was quick, and the staff was incredibly welcoming, which made the experience even better. As for the food, it was good but didn’t really stand out. The flavors were nice, and the ingredients were clearly fresh and high quality, but nothing felt particularly unique or memorable. One thing that surprised me was the watermelon and feta cheese salad—probably the only one I’ve had where I actually had to search for the feta cause there was almost nothing, except from the top of the salad where there was some! On the other hand, I really enjoyed the cheese rolls—the cheese filling was absolutely delicious! Pricing was pretty standard for the area, nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, it’s a nice spot if you’re looking for a casual meal with a great view.

The team was very well trained. An Asian waiter came to my table several times to ask if everything was good, and she was really nice. In terms of food: I had Regag — it was good, but I would prefer as comparision the one from Al Khayma, which was crispier. Here it was a bit more fluffy, so I’d rate it 3–4/5. The Chicken Biryani was decent, around 4–5/5. I also tried the Lugaimat, which I’d rate 4/5 — good taste, but not as crispy as I’m used to. Overall, the experience was good and I recommend the restaurant.

Banger alert. Sleepy little place which turned out to be excellent. Very reasonably priced food. Plenty of options. Helpful staff. The manager came over to check on us as well. We had breakfast and liked both the benedict and the scrambled eggs. The arabic coffee was on point as well. Recommended.

Nice way to taste Emirati food. Tasty dishes, good service. We enjoyed the dishes which were bursting with flavour: hummus (although a tad bit too salty and sour), vine leaves, fattoush salad, all the shrimp, chicken and lamb Briyanis were delicious, and the Machbous fish also very tasty. Friendly service and the location is convenient within the Mall.

Quite nice view for the water performance. The food quality is not bad too, with reasonable price. The dessert is not so good though. The cheese one and the fried rice is quite impressive. The next door restaurant is quite noisy tho.

Logma at Dubai Mall is an incredible restaurant with an amazing atmosphere! The place is clean, beautifully designed, and even smells fresh and inviting. The staff are super friendly, attentive, and make you feel very welcome. The food is absolutely delicious — everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. I especially loved the Shrimp Biryani, Butter Chicken, Dynamite Shrimp, and the fresh salads. Each dish was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Overall, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a great meal with family or friends. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Dubai Mall!

I had a wonderful dining experience at Logma restaurant. The Butter Chicken was rich, creamy, and full of flavor — definitely one of the best I’ve had. The Dynamite Shrimp was crispy, spicy, and addictive, and the Luqaimat at the end was the perfect sweet touch to finish the meal. The service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Highly recommended 👌🏻

Hamburger restaurant
Five Guys Dubai Mall is a popular fast-food joint known for its made-to-order burgers, fries, and hot dogs. The restaurant offers a unique dining experience where customers can customize their meals with various toppings and sauces. The ambiance at this burger spot is exceptional, providing a casual and laid-back atmosphere for a relaxed meal. Customers praise the consistently delicious burgers made with high-quality ingredients and the generous portion of crispy fries.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Guys – The Best Burger Experience, Hands Down! Five Guys easily stands out as the best burger joint out there — nothing else even comes close! Their cheeseburger is freshly prepared right in front of you, and every bite is pure perfection. The patty is juicy, the cheese melts beautifully, and together they just melt in your mouth. You can truly taste the quality and freshness in every bite. Their ketchup and drinks (regular or large) are unlimited and that makes the whole experience even better. It’s the perfect combo of great food, great value, and great vibes. I’ve been a huge fan since 2023, and Five Guys continues to impress me every single time. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re seriously missing out — nothing beats Five Guys! 🍔🔥

Five Guys is located on the ground floor of Dubai Mall, right in front of the fountains. In addition to indoor seating, it has a very large terrace overlooking the fountains. The prices are high, but the quality is reasonable. The burgers are soft and juicy, and the fries are crispy and delicious. There are several boxes of peanuts that you can fill yourself with no limit, and you also fill your own soda, which is pretty cool. Overall, Five Guys had a really great vibe. Their sauces are amazing and unique — I tried a spicy red sauce with a vinegary taste, and it was truly exceptional.

We ordered one cheese burger and one beef hot dog. The taste was good. The option to select any or all of the 15 toppings was good. Also for the options too add as many flavours to the shake 👍🏻 It was extremely crowded which showed how much everyone was loving it. The fountain and burj khalifa view from the outside seating was a cherry on time.

Steak house
Texas Roadhouse is a vibrant steakhouse chain that offers a unique blend of American cuisine with a Southwestern twist, all within a Texas-themed setting. Founded by Kent Taylor in 1993, the restaurant has gained popularity for its mission to provide fresh and authentic American food.
Had a great dinner at Texas Roadhouse Dubai Mall with friends. I ordered the ribeye steak with Caesar salad on the side, and everything was cooked perfectly. The steak was juicy and tender, and the Caesar salad was fresh and crisp, balancing the meal nicely. A huge thank you to Emz, who took care of our table with such warmth and professionalism. He made sure everything was to our liking, checked in on us just the right amount, and even shared his steak sauce recommendations to enhance the flavors. It’s rare to find staff who genuinely care, and Emz made us feel welcome and relaxed throughout the meal. Highly recommend Texas Roadhouse Dubai Mall, especially if you want a good steak and great service. Will definitely be back.

The food was excellent with plenty of food to choose from. The service was superb - the waiter was very kind and attentive (though I forgot his name).

Fresh drinks and good steaks. The portions are pretty enough and the stuffs are really friendly. You cannot reserve a table here and it is just walk-ins only. Steak can be better, I ordered medium cooked steak and I got medium well-done cooked. All in all was good.

Absolutely amazing experience at Texas Roadhouse Dubai! 🥩 The steaks were cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and tender.
