Located near the old town, we went at 11am in the morning of Sunday. They do not take reservations so we just went there as walk in. There were 6 groups before us but we only waited for 20 minutes. The restaurant is not that big, maybe 30-40 groups can fit in at a time. Till 1pm, they only have breakfast menu so we ordered Arabic Breakfast plate which has many small Arabic breakfast dishes. All of them were vegetarian and had a large Arabic bread, they were all very tasty. Service was also very good, especially this lady Stacy was full of hospitality and very charming, we ordered what she recommended for deserts which were also very unique and tasty. It is said this restaurant is very touristy but the taste very good and it's worth visiting. Highly recommended.
This is my second time eating here when I visited Dubai. The service, the atmosphere, the food and the decor are all wonderful! They are thoughtful enough to give you a basket 🧺 to place your bags in so it is on in the gravel. The food portions are also enough if not more than enough for one person. I will recommend this place always and look forward to coming back.
Lovely breakfast service and food. Good value too. We had to wait some time and remind our server about one of the teas and our bread order. But all in all this was a 5 star experience. Later this week we will go back for lunch.
Great service and delicious food! the interior is also nice. Ms.Shehani, who manned our table was very helpful.
