It's one of the best restaurants in Dubai. Excellent service, good quality food and great customer experience.

Junaid was our server twice at this place and he helps you through your ordering journey. It is a must go place, if you haven't been there already.

We came in for brunch today. Surprised to see the restaurant quite empty however comfortable seating. The food was quite good with a big range on the menu, good flavours and portions. Our server was somewhat attentive but knowledge of the menu requires some further training. Although they tried to make some menu suggestions and up sell they weren’t clear in their wording or what we were looking for so at times did not come across in a professional manner. With greater experience and training the service will improve.

This Jumeirah branch is my most favourite of all R.A.B locations... Its very laid back, awesome ambience, great staff and their service for sheeshah is the best here as well....
Their fattoush salad and Arabic salad, the hummus with meat, pomogrenate juice and most of the cold mezze items on menu are my regular must have recommendations!
For me it's been a perfect place to read or finish up on pending tiresome work!
Keep up the good work guys! Thank you... 👌👌

Reem Al Bawadi Restaurant and Cafe opened in Dubai with its flagship Jumeirah Beach road restaurant in 2001. The restaurant has received “What’s On Dubai” Award in the ‘Affordable Dining’ category for two consecutive years (2014 & 2015) and was voted ‘Best Middle Eastern Restaurant’ at the distinguished BBC Good Food ME Awards in 2014.

Reem Al Bawadi serves an authentic taste of Levant cuisine. They have 6 branches in Dubai. You will find Lebanese, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Barbeque cuisines served here! There is enough for Vegetarians, Vegans and Gluten Free customers as well.

I had visited the Jumeirah branch, was there with my family for lunch. The staff was very welcoming. It was a beautiful late Friday afternoon and we were served amazing food with a big smile. Their Arabic deserts are to die for. I loved the ambiance, the decor and specially their service.

Today Reem Al Bawadi is a landmark for Arabic food in the UAE. Considered as a ‘home away from home’ due to genuine flavors and an authentic and welcoming ambiance.

They serve Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner till late in the night. They serve sheesha as well. Paid parking available in front of the restaurant.

This is my go to spot! To hang out with friends, to chill, relax and I love this location. I’ve been to other location too which is also good.

Visited them the 'N'th time with an old friend. Lovely collection of food and some good recommendations from the waiter. The Manager was kind enough to ask us about the selection of dishes and later on about the taste and ambience. All in all, a very good place to visit for Arabic food, al fresco style.

One of the classic Lebanese restaurants in Dubai for years. Been there again after many years, food is still very good, so is the service.

The interieur and furnitures are quite run down and need desperately a touch up - chairs and tables not stable, paint going off, fabrics worn... Such a shame!

Also the restaurant is not very busy in the nights anymore which results in lack of atmosphere.

Will go back for the good food.

Came here on a weekday for dinner. The place was surprisingly quite empty. Have to say though that i was totally in awe of the way they’ve done up the place. Absolutely Stunning interiors.

Coming to the food, i must say they’re on the pricier side. However the quality does cent percent justification to it. We tried their arayes and lebanese kafta along with some hummus. Like most arabic restaurants they serve warm and fresh bread at the start. Trust me, I’d go there just for that. There was nothing to complain about the arayes nor the kafta. Both dishes were cooked to perfection. Zomato gold is an added advantage too.

Overall, I’d recommend this place for some authentic arabic food.

We were looking to explore an authentic Arabic cuisine and this was just right place for us to visit . The most impressive thing abour the place is the traditional middle eastern ambience followed by the food and staff .
Had Ordered Sheesh tawook and shawarma both the dishes were a treat to our taste buds .
The restaurant manager Mr.Zidan was very friendly and ensured a memorable visit and offered us a complimentary mocktail and a customised desert Cotton candy with Arabic Ice cream which was nice.
Would love to revisit this place 👍

I was positively surprised by the food here. The tabbouli is absolutely excellent and the hommos is something to brag about. The grilled chicken is very good too. The tawouk could be a bit smaller in pieces and more grilled; otherwise excellent!

Yummilicious Lebanese food and the place, ambiance is superbly amazing. The interior is mesmerizing and it will take you to old souk with lanterns and cobbled streets. It has loads of arabic delicacies to serve you and my favorites are seafood platter, mix grill, kharouf mashi besides many others. A place you can visit any time with your friends and family and also sheesha options is available !

My husband took me to this restaurant. Went their for the first time.
So as we entered its atmosphere, interior really impressed me. Its unique and different. After deciding for like half an hour 😂 we ordered Fettucine Alfredo and grilled boneless chicken.
Serving is really for one person only.
But the taste is so good. Grilled chicken was so moist and full of flavours.
Alfredo on the other hand was yummylicious.
I really had the best dinner so far. Its a must try. Prices are a bit expensive but we can do it atleasr after a month or two😂.

For someone who was off Lebanese cuisine for awhile, but was forced to take some out of town guests for the “local flavor” , I was absolutely delighted we chose this Reem outlet after so long, only to bring me back to enjoying it all over again.

This outlet in my opinion is your best. The last few experiences at boulevard and marina were not as memorable. The ambience was also like a home coming; the greenery (artificial as it may be) was cooling to the senses for a hot evening.

Sure it was the usual fare to satisfy the visiting foodies, but thank you for making it so fresh and tasteful.

Notably, The lamb chops were outstanding, the hummus was perfect, the arais impressed, and for some reasons even the pita bread had never been better!!

Kunafeh also sealed itself as really the best in town.

Marks for experience I guess, so as tried and tested and traditional as it is, even though it’s been around forever, or maybe because of that, it sets itself apart from the rest.

Came back after a while to where this brand started.
To start with the interior, nothing have changed, still that cozy beautiful home feeling comes to you :-) a lot of flash backs came again; this corner and that booth.. as amazing as the first time.
The place is spacious and still segregated as per regions; we chose of course the Lebanon 🇱🇧 zone to enjoy our diner ;-)

To be honest, tried other locations a while ago and I did not think that this brand will make it up again to be in the completion until they opened motor city and get to know all the details I mentioned earlier in my previous review. They changed the entire operations team and hired some quality professionals to rebuilt the brand!!! And so far I believe they have succeeded 👍

Coming back to Jumeriah branch, the food is superb. An authentic and original taste of the real Lebanese home food, simply enjoyed every bite.
Quality beyond expectations. Seriously, an amazing improvement was done and I can tell what has happened behind the curtains.

Service team are sincere and happy. You can always tell if is t genuine; and it is.
They are always around and supportive.

Value for money is acceptable for the quality and portion size.

Some brands like Reem Al Bawadi needs to be understood once writing a review. Because it is different and was the first to combine Lebanese, Levant and continental cuisines. Some people miss interpret the concept and looked at different elements separately. This brand needs to be seen as one whole piece without separation.

Finally, highly recommend place especially for Ramadan as it is a couple of days away.

Thanks for the handsome and funny manager who is always around ensuing that our experience is exceptional ;-)

Located in jumeira , they have an amazing ambience and seating arrangement inside and out.

Ambience 4.5/5
Food 3.5/5
Their hummus and cheese sambosa was one of the best I’ve had across Lebanese restaurants in Dubai , the first served hot bread were cold, but the second round was hot.
Their kebabs weren’t the best I must say, but it was fine.

The staff were around to attend and very sweet

I do agree I paid more for the ambience and sitting than the food, it is expensive but I would only go back to chill even if it’s just for a drink.
