Food here is undoubtedly delicious. Loved everything I tried. The staff delivered great service but found them to be a bit stand offish and tensed.
I had pan fried dumpling. A good option for an appetizer that’s not heavy but tasty.
The grilled chicken burger. It was grilled to perfection and not too heavy.
The chocolate soufflé was a great dessert. Decadent and light.

Wonderful Saturday afternoon lunch. Service was good. Ambience great for family.

I ordered a salmon salad and must confess it tasted fresh and delicious. The portion was big though and can be shared. As for the juice do ask for the Arabian Night. It’s refreshing to say the least.

For eid sweet treat we decided to try their dessert section. We ordered chocolate fudge cake with ice-cream price was 34 dhs which is quite reasonable. The cake was best of it's kind. Loved it. Service was good too. Served with respect.

Three distinctive items taht i think are a must try other than their famous qahwa
The lips beef burger ,it’s delicious and the patty is so thick and tender I definitely prefer this burger to more famous burger joints
Second is their pumpkin Parmesan soup in a bread bowl extremely delicious esp with the police oil dressing on the side
Lastly their chocolate fondue cake is heavenly,I think this cafe is under rated !

This place is like located on the ground floor in the middle of the main walk way of the mall in a large enclosed restaurant space with its own tables and seats. There are many cake and dessert options but the ice cream is not it’s own original taste it Baskin Robbins. Outstanding shortbread cookies made with real butter it’s worth visiting just for those and pick up a kilo. The seating is a bit dated it’s not modern in its look but comfortable all the same. Very helpful friendly staff.

Lips (The Cafe) is in the middle of the walkway near the central fountain at the Marina Mall in Abu Dhabi. Walking by, it doesn't seem like much, but there are always tables of local people there, so we tried diner there. We were not disappointed. The food and the service were top-notch, and we've been back a few more times with the same results. The microscopic kitchen serves up well-presented and tasty food. The staff is attentive without being overbearing. Highly recommended.

I had a very lovely breakfast this morning at Lips.

Initially I was a bit hesitant to go in, seeing that the restaurant was placed in an 'open' format in the middle of the mall (I personally prefer more tucked-away settings), but once seated, I didn't feel as 'exposed' as I thought I would.

The service was great. Our server was friendly, helpful and accommodating. My request for replacements in the set menus was catered to without a fuss; as was my request for the telly to be switched off, for my toddler. Thank you. 😊

On to the food. I went for the American breakfast, and it was one of the best I've had. I really liked that they included a fruit bowl, which had a nice mix of fruits, all sweet. 👌

The bread came warm and toasted. It would have been nice though, to have more than one slice per person. 🙈

For the eggs, you could choose any way you like. And it was pleasing to note that even if you wanted to add veges or cheese to your omelette, that there was no extra charge. Which is really great. Especially since the whole breakfast package was only Dh. 46! 8t is absolutely great value.

The salad that I asked for, in place of the grilled chicken sausage, was nicely done, very well presented. You could feel the love. ❤

The hash browns were yummy, and it was great to know that they were oven baked. Much better than the greasy alternatives out there. Even the grilled tomato tasted delicious, with a sprinkling of dried herbs on top.

I also loved that I could have Karak chai for my tea. And it was amazing! 😍😍😍 It came infused with Saffron, which was fantastic!

The orange juice was delicious too. And tasted so fresh.

I really loved the breakfast. And definitely plan to return.

Thank you, Lips.

This place has one of the Best hot chocolates in Abu Dhabi from the ones I've tried. I had the Italian hot chocolate with the milk chocolate option (AED 24) but you can also ask for it in dark or white chocolate. Just the right amount of chocolate and perfect thickness. I'll definitely be coming back for more 👍🏼

The best part of this cafe is the service which made me give them a 4.5. A lady called Leiza, I think she is the manager or supervisor was my favorite. My sister accidently dropped my arabic coffee so Leiza was very nice to replace it for me even though it was our mistake. 😍 I really recommend their arabic coffee it's my all times favorite. The chocolate fondont and their chocolate soufflés is delicious.

Expensive but maybe it's worth it.. :)

The cajun chicken is 48 AED ... Serving is HUGE!!!!
Generous serving of salad, crunchy potato wedges, and that juicy melted cheesy Cajun sandwich! Yummy!

Soufflé tasted amazing! Warm and runny chocolate. I loved it!

Peanut butter hot chocolate an interesting combination... And it works!

I only go to Marina mall to shop but this time i was starving and came across this open cafe in the middle and decided to give it a try. Checked menu and ordered my favourite pasta - aglio olio, enjoyed it.

Right opposite the Marina fountain its a cafe you cant miss. 
Lips is a more of a kiosk cafe which is nestled in he busy area of the Marina mall. I havent seen any branches of them so i had to visit this one.

Ordered a Arrabiatta ,I choose to go with a Penne .It was mentioned in spicy tomato gravy. Usually in the UAE whenever it says spicy it never is.But this one did turn out exactly as it is named. Was warm and had enough sauce for the whole dish. It was an enough portion for one person. Must Say one of the few places I genuinely liked my Pasta

Lips special was my choice of drink .The drink was citrusy however had extra too much of crushed ice for my liking. 

Pros: Service was prompt( i was given a menu card the moment i entered), complementary bread basket (an assortment of breads )

Cons :Location - Amazing food but the cacophony of eager shoppers around you cant be ignored.  

Next time I will definitely go back for the Khameer which other reviewers have raved about.

Earlier today, I had breakfast at Lips Cafe (Marina Mall). This is my second time trying it out and I would say it again, I loved it.
Great food and amazing staff. We ordered the eggs benedict and the Arabic breakfast, which were both amazingly cooked and displayed.
I enjoyed my meal while having the american marshmallow hot chocolate, which was amazing of course but I won't recommend it for people whom are having something sweet for breakfast!
Besides the great food, their prices are very convenient compared to other places with this high standard of food.

I love this spot for their Emirati specialties. Their Khameer bread and their Balaleet are the perfect fix after a shopping session! They also have some good salads and pasta options. And very good desserts and cakes.

Decided to have lunch here instead of the usual breakfast. My wife persuaded me to try the lamb shank and i so glad i did. The lamb shank was substantial...for me anyway. It was so soft and just fell away from the bone. Accompanied by steamed veg and mashed potatoes with a light gravy. Must have been good as my wife helped in devouring it. As always the service was friendly and efficient.

My friend and I decided to try this cafe as we were bored from the other ones in Marina mall; moreover my friend recommended their waffles. The service was quick from taking the order, serving us, to removing our plates without hovering over our heads. I ordered a Mocha and chocolate fondue (by their recommendations), and my friend ordered summer fruit waffles. It's the first time in my life that I complete a fondue! It is rich in chocolate but not heavy. As for the waffles, it is the best waffles I have tasted. It is light with vanilla ice cream and berries on top. 

I will definitely go there again.

I really love this place. It is a nice sit up for quick meet up-s. I love their deserts escpically their berry-berry waffles they're freshly made and delicious.Staff is very active and helpful, WiFi avaiable so that is a plus nowadays.The only reason I took of 2 points from the rating is the food that the have in the menu while ordering half of them will be not avaible. & they dont serve french fries which is a huge down fall for mother's with kids as kids love their fries. However, other food's that are avaiable in the menu are delicious. I am a big fan of their penne pasta. soooooooooo goooood.

I've passed this cafe umpteen times and it's hard to miss as it's located right next to the central fountain and stretches all the way from Coach to La senza. It's one of those open cafe concepts which is nice. I always thought of it as a quick bites cafe but was surprised to see an extensive menu.

They offer a variety of breakfast options like American, English, Arabian as well as Continental which are served till noon in addition to some traditional Emirati dishes. The mains offer quite a bit of chicken options but steaks are limited. The drinks menu is plentiful with a bevy of choices in hot and cold chocolate as well as fruit cocktails.

I loved the onion bread that was served in the complimentary bread basket. The calamari starter that we sampled was also tasteful. I had the Amore salad and as the name suggests I fell in love with it. Everything from the presentation to its components and overall taste was amazing. I'd also recommend the lips club special which comprised of grilled chicken, turkey slices and egg.

The food did take sometime to make an appearance but it was worth the wait. Besides, we didn't mind as we were busy catching up.

Final verdict: Definitely worth a visit, given their range of options as well as good service. Full marks to these guys for their food presentation, specially w.r.t the desserts.

I love this place! I love the ambiance of this place, even though it's in the middle of the mall and not covered. It's an open concept cafe near the fountain of Marina Mall. It's a great place to just sit, relax, people-watch, and enjoy the soothing sounds of the fountain. 

I've tried their Club Sandwich, Latte, Cappuccino, Karak Tea, Amore Salad, and Khameer bread (not sure what it's called exactly, see attached photo!). Every single thing at this cafe is AMAZING. 

I've been in search of the BEST club sandwich in UAE, and this cafe definitely has it! 

The Khameer bread is SO great. It's served with cream cheese and honey, as well as with sweet noodles. 

I would also recommend the Amore Salad for shrimp-lovers. It's something very unique and scrumptious! 

The presentation, the food, the service, the location-- everything is great. I think it is a little bit pricey, though.

I would highly recommend this cafe. I wish they had more locations across UAE.

Lips cafe is located in Marina mall and we stopped by after watching a movie. We weren't super hungry due to the movie popcorn but still needed lunch. Their menu offers a variety of salads, sandwiches, and several main entrees. Great for not overeating.

I had the smoked salmon salad. I wish I took a pic because the presentation was nice. It had a good serving of the smoked salmon and the dressing was drizzled on the mixed greens. The dressing was light and not overpowering. It complimented the salmon well. I also had a mango, strawberry serving which came in a large glass and was delicious. They also serve green smoothies.

The kids shared a plate of penne pasta with Alfred sauce with chicken. It was delicious and they are it all. Some Alfredo sauces can be too heavy and cheesy but their sauce was not. It was not too cheesy and the dish overall was very good. They did have a kids menu with about 4-5 items on it. No crayons or paper to keep kids busy so be prepared if you need them.

The hubby had lamp chops with mushroom sauce and veggies. He enjoyed it and stated the chips were tender and moist. The dreamed veggies were crunchy, cooked well, and not mushy.

Overall, I was impressed with Lips cafe. We walked away feeling satisfied and felt good because we didn't overeat and the foods weren't heavy. Good for kids in a way that they can talk and laugh without being too noisy because it is located in the mall. Seating wise, the area is small and it can get very crowded easily. They have high chairs for babies. There are two areas for seating and we were in the smaller area.

We will be back during one of our many shopping/ movie trips. Definitely recommend.

I've been going here since before they remodeled. Though the new look is ok, I liked the old Lips better. The seating is not as group friendly as it was before. The prices are a little high compared to other shops in town, but I guess the location drives this aspect of the place. Not a bad place to stop and grab a cup of Joe while shopping.

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) زرت المكان أمس. كان لدي دجاج ترياكي وتذوق طعمه جيدًا. خدمة ودية وفعالة ويقع الموقع في وسط المركز التجاري. المرة القادمة ستكون لكعكة حيث أن لديهم عرض جميل. مكان موصى به للوجبات غير الرسمية. (التعليق الأصلي) Visited the place yesterday. I had Chicken Teriyaki and tasted good. Friendly efficient service and the location is situated in the middle of the mall. Next time will be for a cake as they have a nice display. A recommended place for casual meals.
