Top 5 Restaurants in Dubai for Family Friendly Dining

✨ HighlightAmritsar restaurant in Karama is a hidden gem, especially for those craving a late-night feast. Open 24 hours, it’s the perfect spot for after-party foodies who want to grab a bite at odd hours. My friends and I decided to visit late into the night, and we were met with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that immediately felt comforting after a long day. We started with their famous aloo kulcha, a heavenly dish that is a must-try. You can choose to have it with either channa masala or raita—we opted for the raita, and it was a delightful pairing. The kulchas were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with flavorful spiced potatoes. Alongside, we also ordered the chicken tikka masala, which was equally impressive. The chicken was tender, perfectly marinated, and smothered in a rich, creamy gravy that had just the right balance of spices. Every bite was a burst of flavor. However, the highlight of the night was undoubtedly the moong dal ka halwa, which we ended our meal with. This dessert blew our minds—it was rich, decadent, and had an incredible texture. The sweetness was perfectly balanced, and it was the perfect finale to a great meal. The interiors of the restaurant added to the overall experience. With calm, cozy seating and subtle Amritsari decor, the ambiance made it a peaceful escape in the heart of Karama. The service was fantastic as well—friendly and hospitable staff who made us feel right at home. If you’re in the mood for some authentic North Indian food late at night or after a party, Amritsar restaurant should be at the top of your list. It’s a spot that never disappoints, and I can’t wait to go back!→

✨ HighlightSiraj is a new restaurant located in the Souk new Dubai mall. The venue is big, it has indoor and outdoor seatings and it’s very clean. The staff is very nice and super careful to your needs, but the food does not arrive very fast, we waited a bit before receiving our dishes. The food was great, the quality of ingredients was high and the taste was amazing. The price is not high considering where the restaurant is located. There is the chance to use the entertainer app, but make sure to ask which plates belong to the main course and which don’t. I would recommend this restaurant for sure!→

✨ HighlightArtisan Restaurant at the Waldorf Astoria in Dubai is a stunning Italian dining experience that embodies luxury. From the moment I entered, I was captivated by the elegant atmosphere and impeccable service. The food was simply fantastic — I started with the tuna tartare, which was fresh and flavorful, and the ribeye steak was a standout, cooked to perfection and undoubtedly one of the best I’ve had. The ambiance was elevated by live music, featuring a talented lady singing and playing the piano, adding a refined touch to the evening. While it’s a bit on the pricey side, it’s understandable given the fine dining quality and prime location in Dubai. Artisan is definitely a place for a special night out, combining excellent food, service, and a sophisticated atmosphere. Highly recommended!→

✨ HighlightABSOLUTE PERFECTION. The best dining experience of my entire life being cooked for by Jason Atherton and his team. Everything about this seventeen course tasting menu has so much attention to detail. The knowledge of the chefs as they explain each dish and how it relates to chef Jason Atherton’s culinary career is incredibly interesting. Absolutely everything tastes phenomenal and with the wine pairing it was truly outstanding. I genuinely cannot pick a favourite dish as everything tasted so beautiful and different. I don’t think I’m ever going to get over this meal, this restaurant and this experience in my entire life. The restaurant on the 45th floor provides a stunning view over the Marina and the palm especially during sunset. So well deserving of their two Michelin stars - well done to the entire team. A MUST visit in Dubai.→
