We were happy to visit this place with my wife. The places on the terrace are lovely and get you an opportunity to seat near the Fountain and enjoy the show. The personnel is very kind here, listens and meets you requests. The food was delicious, never eat such potato mash. There might be only two minuses: high prices and very loud music sometimes. But when the Fountain show starts, music is switched off. And about the prices: it's quite normal to expect such prices level in location like this. Huge plus as for me: the possibility to book a table at the first line near the fountain just in a day before. That's great, I checked other places nearby, there was no such possibility there. Definitely can recommend this place.

Wine in Dubai is rarely the main event so for the diversity of natural wine offered alone, soiree is a major asset. Food and cocktails are great as well.

We love this restaurant on Sheikh Zayed Road and try to dine there at least twice sometimes 3 times when we come to Dubai on holiday. The food is exceptional as are the staff. The food is extremely good value and always delicious even though we always order the same chicken dish to share - pilau rice and garlic nan but we just love it 😊 Thank you to the chef and all the staff 👏🏻 Mr & Mrs Simmonds

• Argentinean • Dubai Creek Harbour
It’s a nice spot with optional seating inside or out. We had a lovely table in the back corner that was semi private. The ambiance, food and service are great, and there are multiple discounts available (fazaa, entertainer). The creek is just steps for pictures or a nice romantic walk. Great experience.
