I just have to give feedback on the excellent waiter who served our party of 4 last night. Abir gave our table the best service we have ever had in the UAE, and I am not saying that lightly. We have been in UAE for 10 years, going to many renowned establishments over the years, but never has service been so spot on. Friendly, attentive, observing us and the other tables allocated to him for the evening constantly, and very speedy and efficient service.The food was good, made great by this young guys attention to detail. I hope every diner gets the chance to have Abir serve them to find out what real service feels like, sadly almost always lacking in most establishments today.
This place is the spot to be. Great food, drinks, and music. The service was phenomenal! Norie is the most genuine and accommodating server I've had in my 4 days here in Dubai. You may want to make a reservation as they were really busy but if you have to wait it's worth it.
First time there and i was impressed! Waited a long time at the door because we had no reservation but the staff including the manager Andreja, were very friendly and kept apologising for the long wait....they went out of their way to get us a table and our waiters were the best i have come across at any Dubai bar......i was sceptical of a bad review i read but guys you have to go there and see the exemplary service! it was a busy day yet the staff give every single customer some attention and good service and even a quick chat as they serve you......i would recommend anyday!
Thank you Andreja and the team!
We did not know the place or heard of it when going there. Nonetheless to say that this place is busy and has good vibes. You have to find your way to it but it is worth the little detour. The Cajun dishes were good to excellent and we loved the ambience. Non-smokers this might not be the place for you.
Nolaaaaaaaaa is the right place to enjoy light music with an amazing ambience, cool drinks, great yummy food and among all a supper service.
I'm in love with that unique place and hats off to All the staff in there Andreja, Carlo, Sameer, Nishal, Jad, Peter, Janak, Shelton and Noel...sorry if I've missed someone, those guys will make your experience in Nola absolutely an unforgettable one.
The place is cozy and has both inside and out seating arrangements yammering and mouth watering deliciously cooked dishes by the executive Chef Mr ILLIAS and team, I managed to meet him making his many rounds in the restaurant checking out the satisfaction of the end product of the kitchen, the staff are lovely to I must say always quick on service delivery and hawk eyed. Lovely and reasonable management Mr Andrea and Samir it was lovely chat we had while there, all in all I can and would only suggest that you go there yourself and get the feeling yourselves. They say that the taste of the puding is always in the dish. Thanks
Thank you guys for taking good care of me and my friends for my birthday celebrations! I appreciate the personalized service by Jad and Samir, the responsiveness, allocation of well trained staff to my group of over 50 people (we loved Juvy) and for an overall memorable night! The band was the cherry on top, thank you Nola's!
Can't stop raving about the place..amazing food, fabulous music and superb service! Specially the ladies nite with 50% off food is cherry on the cake! Soon becoming the hottest place to be in JLT 🎉🎉
Best bar in Dubai! The staff and management are fantastic, the food is delicious and the music is the best!
Love the place and people, A special Thanks to JAD and all the other Nola staff you're just amazing
Very nice hidden gem in JLT, tasty food, great service, delicious cocktails with a very social atmosphere. If you visit as a couple, better to sit outside less noisy and can actually talk to each other.
It is a nice and cozy place. A great meeting place. One of the most vibrant locations in JLT area in Dubai. Just next door is the Greek Mythos restaurant, another authentic restaurant belonging to the same management.
Awesome cocktails, food and ambiance. It’s my first time. We had some drinks, food and desserts. I would definitely try it again!
Omg this place speaks for itself .. Truly a hidden gem in Jlt and surroundings ..Nola hops on a weekday night with the after-work drinks crowd... With live jazz bands and a subtle decadence, the atmosphere is convivial and energized. Beverages and food concepts are inspired by South America..On of my favorite spots in JLT. A must-try cocktail is the ‘Fleur de Sureau’, it’s the perfect summer refresher!!
First time visiting Nola after being recommended by friends. Food was great, but the small plates were the best! Amazing guacamole and bayou shrimp beignets!
Visited Nola over the weekend and I loved it. The ambience is fantastic. The Nola burger was very good. Additionally we ordered the guacamole and nachos along with spinach with cheese. I recommend both the dishes. For dessert we ordered cheese cake and molten brownie. Not sure if thats the exavt name but it was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. The crowd is decent even of the restaurant was not buzzing during tye weekend.
The seafood gumbo is mouth watering... the location beautiful, I really enjoyed the dinner here
Good place to hang out post dinner, they have Greek restaurant in the same premises , that too is very good, nice and good crowd, good atmosphere and service, you will enjoy , Thank you
Nola’s Eatery & Social is a lovely bar in the beating heart of Dubai, but world’s away from the tourist trap and usual bustle of the regular names in the service sector located in JLT is must visit place & my personal recommendation. We decided to visit the place on a Friday night. It was chartbusters. We reached the place just before 9pm. Crowd is youthful and sync the cheer to pitch of music you can tell it’s a fancy bar the way they usher you to your seats. The interior were charming & classy. They have a spacious indoor & outdoor seating. Like us, lot many groups we wanted to sit outside and enjoy the whole aura but the outdoor seating was full.
Hidden gem when it comes to the food.. Just amazing. The burger and dawg are beyond and the desserts are not to be missed either!
Perfect spot with friendly staff, good variety of food and drinks , and off course talented music band!
Keep it up Andreja and the team!
Best place in Dubai! Great food, super service and lovely staff! 🙂 👍
Everything was amazing!!!
Great food and amazing place to hangout
Always great, never a let down, great crowd and ambience, it’s amazing even in the day time when there is less crowd. Great business lunch options and unbeatable ladies night 50% offer. Must try spinach dip, guacanola, veg jambalaya, Mushroom flatbread, Po boy sliders, and chocolate fondant.
What a lovely hidden gem in JLT. Not sure if this is their usual entrance or if I visited when they were having ongoing renovation, but I enjoyed the maze getting there. It was so lovely to arrive at a closed garden amongst the cluster.
The staff was welcoming and friendly and the cornflake chicken was so tasty!
Very nice place with tasteful starters and Italian beer
Nola is one of those places that have it all.
Good food, good price, good drinks, a good terrace and good ambiance.
If you want a great night out this is the place
An authentic hospitality and very welcoming staff ❤️
We came to try the new vegan menu items. Starting with the Guacanola starter - a bowl of smooth, delicious avocado with nacho chips that was big enough for two. Tor the main The atmosphere here is lively and fun - perfect for catching up with friends.
Nola is my among my top favourite places in Dubai. The vibe is incredible, the live jazz music is phenomenal, the food is great and the prices are reasonable too.
Highly recommended to anyone reading this, just remember to make a reservation because the place is busy almost every day of the week.
Last weekend I ordered the Ribeye, Nola Burger, Spinach and Cheese dip, Cheesecake and one more desert. Everything was amazing.
I like the vibe of this place, good food, good music and nice croud, I love the variety they the in the menu as well as the quality of the food.
Just amazing food and ambience. Steak, steak, steak. The tastiest steak I had in Dubai.
The venue, decor are stunning. The service was amazing and the food to die for. The only thing I recommend is not to plan a romantic dinner there, even though it's a perfect setting. Reason being was the tables were to close, reducing privacy, and it felt like they were overcrowding it. Thus making it almost impossible to hear each other without raising your voices. We could overhear the other table they were so close and talking loud. We were hoping to enjoy the live jazz, but could not heaf them at all as we dined.
However saying that we cannot flaw the food or service, I ordered Cajun blacked Salmon on Zucchini noodles, if you like a right meal you can not go wrong. The skin was crispy and the fish cooked well. Spices used was a great balance with the noodles lightly flavoured I found it a great balance .
We are thinking of going back, but maybe for lunch this time.
In all I recommend you try this place.
Went for lunch and had
Mushroom flat bread (7/10)
Braised short rib (10/10)
Cornflake chicken (9/10)
Little Zulu (6/10)
Royal street punch (6/10)

The place is super cozy, music was amazingn and staff is friendly. We had nachos and the cheese spinach, they were generous with them. I also had this drink i forgot the name it was a mix of fruits with grenadine. Amazing
This is the perfect bar in JLT, with a very cozy ambience, jazzy music, attentive staff, reasonable price, good drinks - and food. We went here on a busy Wednesday night, we had fun, talk (and laughed) a lot! We'll definitely add this to our list and surely come back to this place. Very recommendable!
Love the jazzy vibe of Nola. Its difficult to get a place on Thursdays as its fully packed. Love their selection of food and drinks. Has been a regular for me and my friends. A must visit place in Dubai.
Ms. Raiza the Waitress was Amazing. Made me feel comfortable and Enjoyed my time on my first day.
The Live band is Awesome.. Definitely 5 Star for me.
Went without booking on a Tuesday night and they accommodated with a table till 9 pm which is fair enough. Very nice cozy place with a very good variety of food and drinks. Staff is very friendly and supportive.
If you like Jazz, this is the place to be !!! Amazing place - food drinks and music, if you get a seat. Just book in advance, i always find a long queue outside, but worth it.
Nice warm ambience with perfect lighting and music. Nola’s is the place to unwind yourself with a drink and snack after work. They have happy hours daily between 5-8pm. Post which the place buzzes with nice music (sometimes jazz) and people. The staff is courteous and serves with a smile.
I don’t usually give Resturaunt’s a 5 star rating, but this is definitely a hidden gem in Dubai. It has a great menu, great music and great staff.
This hidden gem in JlT really surprised us with their new orleans dining and inspired atmosphere. The live jazz band was amazing to witness and gave you a real sense of culture alongside their food. We ordered the spinach cheese dip, guacanola, shrimp beignets, mushroom flatbread and seafood jambalaya for our main. We preferred the spinach dip as opposed to the guacanola as it was sizzling hot and tasty. Their food was carefully prepared in terms of getting the right flavours across to really represent the new orleans cuisine. We loved it and ate everything, the flavours in the shrimp were also delicious giving it abit of spice. They were very well seasoned and the service in their was lovely. The only thing was the bit of struggle to get there due to its location.
We went here for my wife's birthday. From the moment we entered to when we left, we had a wonderful experience. The food was exquisite, the staff friendly and attentive. Fully justified as one of the premier restaurants
Nola is my favourite bar in JLT. Its so nice, festive and has a great vibe. The food is alright, its a great place to chill and enjoy a Thursday night! We have also gone their from work for gatherings and its been great.

Great place to listen to some jazz tunes and enjoy a night out with friends.
Tried their steak - loved it, and the cocktails are great too!
Love the atmosphere and the staff is nicely dressed and very friendly!
Recommend 🎈🎈🎈👌👌👌👌
Been here 3 times! Cozy ambiance, nice Jazz band. The signature burger was so yummy! But brownie was not that good. Overall, I love the vibe here. Great place to spend my evening after work.
My partner and I arrived at about 830pm without a reservation. We were met by the very professional front of house staff and promptly seated. Our waiter - Ken (who was from Nairobi!) could not have been more helpful. He was attentive, funny and very professional. He really helped make our evening very enjoyable. Quality food and drinks - we had the fishcakes, steaks and sides as well as cocktails, beer and wine. The food was very well cooked, seasoned and presented. Comfortable and a great atmosphere, we will be back for more!
The place is very lively, casual atmosphere. The food is quite good and the drinks are beyond the average. Recommended for an easy going dine out or a drink in good company
Mini burgers / sliders are great
it is mostly busy but rarely fully occupied so chances of you finding a table are high
there is an outdoor garden like area called Nola Nursery which can be nice for outdoor evenings.
all vacant tables might have the reserved tag on it but once you ask the reception they will give you one of those "reserved" ones.
Nice place with stunning little garden.. perfect for a cozy evening.. In their courtyard.. I love this place ... There spinach dip is exceptional
Nice atmosphere for a nice cold pint. The food is pretty good as well. Kind staff, all polite and aware of your needs. It has happy hour starting at 5 pm, if you are a discount hunter.
Nice place with stunning little garden hidden in JLT.
Nola is next door to Mythos (the Greek restaurant).
Perfect for a cozy evening in their courtyard. This place is usually quite crowded due to their great food and alcohol license so make sure to book a table in advance.
Sometimes there is also live music so it can get very loud inside
I love love love this place. Probably my favorite place ever in dubai. Their spinach cheese dip is exceptional. Soooo good. Their drinks are to die for. Their guac is heavenly and their dessert is absolutely incredible. I went there for my birthday and the staff was pretty much amazing. I loved the ambience. The band that was playing and their lead singer (shes a blonde from new orleans but i forgot to ask for her name) are the main reason why i went there in the first place. Highly and extremely recommended.
Nice experience with live music good food. A bit crowded over weekend so prior reservation is always best. Open air option is always add on till the weather is good.
i went there last night with friends and the place atmosphere was classic..i love the music..i love the food..specially the flank steak..guacamole was awesome too...i enjoyed their foods..reasonable price..the downside of it was the toilet..it was small (just 2 cubicles). Friendly staff..
Our go to place for drinks in our neighbourhood. The ambience is good, like the lights n the bar area a lot. Nice chic place to grab few drinks with friends. Finger food options are quite few for vegetarians though. Staff is friendly.
This is not my first time in Nola... and I keep coming back because the amazing service, food, chilled atmosphere and background music... so decided to finally leave a review and thank everyone working there... especially Raiza and Elsy who served me the last time I was there... beautiful service, natural heartly smile, proactiveness which I highly admire... Thank You and keep it up
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
I've been one of the biggest fans of Nola for a really long time. Last weekend I had the chance to experience the new section that just recently opened there, Nola Secret Garden.
I was there with 3 other friends, and two of them actually just recently relocated to Dubai, and we all had great time there.
We had Guacamole, mushrooms flat bread, spicy chicken sliders, and one vegan dish, we enjoyed every single dish. The Guacamole a little too salty for me but still a great Guacamole.
The highlight for the vegan dish was the no egg mayo, it taste brilliant. Super tasty and we all always have this impression of vegan dish can be difficult and boring but definitely not at Nola.
We enjoy the flat bread and sliders. These all were appetizer but the portion to be honest quite generous
We also ordered my favorite appetizer - the spinach and cheese dip, yum and yum super delicious.
For dessert we enjoyed the brownie.
All and all I never had bad experience with Nola l, best place to take friends and visitors, great service from the staffs, they are very well trained and super attentive plus reasonable price for foods and drinks
For those who enjoys cocktails, Nola definitely knows how to make a good ones.
Totally recommended.
Love their vegan menu, esp the vegan slider burgers a fun place just to unwind with some friends or go on a causal date
Also fairly priced
Hard to say if this is a bar with food or a restaurant with a bar... either way they do both things right. Had a nice chilled dinner sitting outside with the music playing in the background. Ordered the Momma's Po's Boy sliders and the Muhsroom flatbread. The pulled meat in the sliders melted in the mouth and was complimented by the brioche buns...Good choice. Though balance of the flavour is needed meat on its own is a bit intense, maybe red cabbage.
Ambiance, good food, music, location and complimentary mixed nuts what's not to like about Nola.
Nola has been improving their service and food continuously and I really appreciate their customer oriented approach. Food and drinks are very high quality versus price. Considering also ambience, excellent service and amazing music; this place is one of the best in Dubai for a casual night out with friends. Strongly recommended, well done Nola team.
Had lunch at Nola today in the new garden they opened up. Food was great, and the new garden section was awesome I didn’t want to leave. Great job
Amazing place, nice food great service and value for money. Staff super friendly. Tried the new Nola Garden extension, great addition to a great place with nice vibes. Always come here! 👍
One of the best bars in Dubai. It can be overcrowded and difficult to find available spot for a drink on weekends, but the service is still good. Very good live band played when I visited place last time, great vibe in there!
Awesome place with the best waiters you can ever wish for. Remember the name: Ken he is the main man and the best friend you can have at Nolas.
Definitely recommend the place because of him.
Amazing place and friendly staff ! Especially Mr singh a very friendly and helpful waiter, yesterday night was just awesome :) i will definitely come back very soon and i will always recommend the place to others
One of the best bars in Dubai. Andreja and his team are very polite, quick and take very good care of you. The food is great and the atmosphere is excellent to meet new people, for a nice dinner or just your business lunch.
Highly recommended.
P.S. great ladies night and a good happy hour.
singh is the guy...ask for him..he is the man all aware of the menu..best friendly guy one ever could meet and have as a server..ambiance of the place is awsum !! MUST VISIT
Ain’t no Sunday Blues
It was my first time in Nola and it was good experience.
Friendly servers. Food is fantastic. Nice place.
Clean comfort room.
Definitely will come back again.
The food here is super tasty, amazing environment and live music. The service however could be a little bit faster but I also understand this place becomes really busy all the time. I would definitely recommend it.
My favourite place for their steak. Good music always. Chill people.
Singh was very attentive to our table and accomedating. The staff overall is very hospitable and friendly.
Super cool place , nice music and ambiance , good service but the food ... way overprice -20€ for mini mini crab cakes is not ok . definetly will be back with a full stomach :)
Visited This Place Last week 😊ambiance was awesome 😍 Friendly and Happy Staff 😃
I decided to go and sit on bar so maybe i can describe to the bartender how and what Drink do i want🤪 But it wasn’t needed actually 🤔The bartender Mr.Deepak was so good with his Knowledge Of Making Drinks and suggesting according to your Taste and liking 👍🏻 I would definitely suggest this place to Friends and would definitely come back here 😊 Thank you again

Although I almost didn't make it through the door because of my clothes, I'm happy to say that I have had a chance to try this place after hearing about it from a number of friends. The down side is that it was so long ago that I forgot most of the specifics, but here is the summary:
Food: the mains were very nice and the beignets were spectacular
Service: could have been slightly quicker but otherwise good
Ambiance: it was loud but very cool with its fancy pub feel
Bang for Buck: prices are easily too high
In total, nice place that I'll visit again when I have a good amount of extra cash.
Cozy little place with great music and a friendly crew! Nola's has the lights right, the service right and the taste right. The food is great, but it's great to the extent that you wish the portions here were slightly larger. I like a good portion with a good drink, and Nola's left me craving for a little more, when it came to the former. Overall, it sure was a great experience! We were there with family for an after-work drink.
Great dinner with friends .Went with sharing food.it was really good Ordered fries,creamy spinach,flank Staek and Cornfried Chicken . We also enjoy the happy houre .finally dessert cheesecake,Chocolat which were pretty good. The servers( singh )made good recommendations and the ineraction was good .we enjoy lot
Delicious Food, Good outdoor setting, Timely Service, Mild jazz music, friendly vibes. Rohit's service were good at the table. Looking to visit sometime again .
This place has one of the best crowd and lovely drinks to offer... Food is also decent... Only issue is the waiting specially on the weekends..
If you are looking for sublime food and even better music, this is the place for you! The staff is welcoming and the ambiance, perfect for someone seeking a laid back and chill experience in this fast moving city!
Great ambience, great food, one of the best night outs in JLT, dare I say Dubai. Gets a bit crowded starting 10pm so try and reach there early if you want a seat.
One of the best social houses in Dubai. The food is amazing, the staff is very good and the atmosphere and people are excellent! They also accommodate corporate events and every weekend the have live jazz music! Will definitely revisit soon.
I really like Nola - have been there before many times . This review is on account of my experience during the last visit . It was a crowded night but the manager didn’t seem very welcoming or accommodative . However the food and service are good and vibes are great once we got our table after the wait .
One of my favorite spots in Dubai, Nola atmosphere, quality of service and staff are amazing, it always feels like home when you step into Nola, if you are visiting DUbai then add Nola on your to do list.
Nola is my favourite restaurant in Dubai. Andreja, Jad and the team know exactly how to make the best ambience, food and drinks. I come here three times a week and it is always an occasion. Couldn’t recommend it enough 😄
Quite a late review but worth mentioning. Love the vibes at this place. The outside seating is lively. Food is good n service is attentive. The cajun chicken salad is my favourite!!
Whenever someone asked me for a place to have a nice food and drinks, the fist suggestion from my side is NOLA , the atmosphere is brilliant, this place is literally packed 7 days in week and it’s a good remark on how good is this place, the flank steak is another story 😋😋😋. This place is highly recommended
Not our first time in Nola.. but as usual, it was up to our expectations. Ambiance is nice, cool and busy at the same time.. service is good... and food, food is amazingly tasty. Ribs were juicy and yumm, salad was fresh, spinach and cheese dip perfect and dessert delicious!
Awesome service from Hamy. We definitely we are going to reserve for the upcoming event as the service is superb and friendly stuff, with a personal touch. This is a superb place to chill out and have an amazing service. Next time we need Hamy to look after us and our guests, she’s super in providing a personalized service.
