Review ‪al Nafoorah - Jumeirah Zabeel Saray‬

Sami Aljabali

مطعم النافورة حيث الطعم والنكهة اللبنانية الاصيله ... بصراحه من أفضل المطاعم اللبنانية الي زرتها .. اطباقهم صنعت بكل حب بمعنى الكلمه .. نكهة لبنانية اصيلة .. المشاوي لديهم من افضل المشاوي الي ممكن تجربها ... خصوصا طبق الريش والمشاوي الأخرى ... جلسات داخليه مريحة وديكورات جذابه ورائعه .. موظفون وخدمة ممتازة لديهم جلسات خارجيه ويوجد لديهم نكهات الشيشة .. مناسب للعائلات ولتجمع الاصدقاء لقضاء وقت جميل في بيئة مميزة ... تجربه مميزة .. يستحق وبقوة

من المطاعم الراقيه والمميزه ... يحوي المطعم اطلاله رائعه على فندق ابراج الامارات ... خاصه في فصل الشتاء ... يقدم المطعم تشيكله متنوعه من الماكولات العربيه اللذيذه والمشروبات الساخنه والبارده .... واكيد ما ننسى الحلو .... ولعشاق الشيشه تشكيله متنوعه من النكهات ...

Fly High

بصراحه...لم أعد اثق في النافورة. المخلل بائس و مالح و قبيح. اطلب حمص و لما وصل الفندق أجد انهم ما وضعوا خبز. الشاورما عيب عليهم يسموها شاورما. التبولة مقبوله و كذلك الكبه المقليه. مطعم لا يستحق ابدا الاكل فيه. طبعا هذا رأيي الشخصي.....

Fahad A

أفضل مطعم لبناني. وأحلى قشطة بالعسل في العالم!

JABER Almarzooqi

مكان جميل راقي الاكل لذيذ، لكن غالي كثير ، طبعا لان موقعه في ابراج الامارات

اُسلوب رخيص في محاولة إجبارك على طلب قوائمهم الجاهزة حيث حاول الموظف من البداية دفعي نحو اغلى منيو ٤٢٥ درهم للشخص ثم نزل ل ٣٥٠ ثم نزل ل ٢٥٥ واحراجي امام ضيوفي الأجانب وعندما اصريت على المنيو الاعتيادية قاموا بتكديس المقبلات على جانبي الطاولة وتركوا الوسط فارغ لتظهر كان الطاولة فارغة مما أدى بي الى طلب المزيد من المقبلات لتصبح الفاتورة مماثلة لمنيو ٢٥٥ للشخص وكنا عشرة أشخاص حقيقة من المخجل والمخزي الأسلوب الرخيص لمطعم يفترض ان يكون راقي هذا الموقف أبلغته لجميع الشركات والزملاء كي يتجنبوا مثل هذه المطاعم الرخيصة مهما كان تصنيفها

Mazen Alqurashi

المطعم له مدخلين واحد من جهة التاور وممكن يدخل منه اللي ساكن بفندق جميرة ابراج الامارات..ومدخل من خارج التاور...المطعم جلساته روعة ونظيف خمس نجوم يعني..فيه جلسات داخليه وخارجية للمدخنين (المعسلات)...الخدمة ممتازة...الاكل جيد جدا ..الحلى كان قشطة بالعسل انا ما اعجيتني كثير ..والمعسل عنده تفاحتين فاخر وفيه نخلتين جيد جدا ما اعجبني كثير...الفاتورة كانت غالية حوااي 400 درهم لشخصين ومعسل واحد فقط...وفي الاخير انصح بيه ويستاهل الواحد يروح له...عذرا عالاطاله

Ouarda Warda

العمال اللبنانيين في قمة الذوق والاخلاق والترحيب اما المغاربة حدث ولا حرج يحرجون الزبون لو طلب منهم طلب ويتخاصمون مع عامل الشيشة المصري قدام الزباين منظر مخجل لمطعم في ابراج الامارات اعيدو النظر في العمال شكرا

Abdullah Amr

I have invited my colleagues for a business dinner and as usual, this restaurant never disappoints! Food was excellent and everyone of my guests enjoyed.

Reema AR

The best Lebanese restaurant. My kids loved every dish and the service staff was very helpful and nice

Vrunda

Great place to try quality Arabic/ Lebanese food. Their mezze and deserts are awesome! Have been frequent visitor and never disappointed.

Hamed Al Awadhi

The place is very good, but honestly used to be excellent. The appetizers were really good however the grills seemed lacking some seasoning and their flavors changed little bit comapred to my previous visits

N Ali

The ambience is so good here service is excellent there is shisha available as well food is on the average side comparing the location the prices are okay

Jerry Mansour

Amazing food and shisha. The terrace is also very nice.

Deep Gurjar

I had a great experience at this place the food was awesome specially kebab halabi.

Yara Daoud

I recently moved to Dubai and the number 1 priority was finding my go-to Lebanese restaurant; I think Al Nafoora might be the one! Extremely welcoming staff and very nice ambience. The portions are generous and the food is authentic. Will definitely be going back there again!

Nadia.Ema

This was my first time dining here. I wanted authentic Lebanese food and my my was my mind blown. As soon as you step in, there’s the unique and rustic details that really make your eyes travel around. Most restos have removed rustic designs and have turned to more of a modern look but this place has held on to its roots which makes it special and stand out from the rest. The food was impeccable and tasted as though it’s authentic home cooked meals like back home in Lebanon. Wow. And what made it extra special was the service provided by Marwan. Honestly, he paid attention to every detail of our service and made the experience there unbelievable. He makes you feel like you are family and goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy and satisfied. Based on his treatment, he will be the reason I choose to dine here again and again. I have found my regular spot for the best Lebanese food in town! Thank you so much, Marwan. You are the gem of this place.

Edy Dsouza

An amazing place that serves you so authentic middle eastern food. Love all the kebabs that they serve. Yum is the word. The food is juicy and tasty for sure

Lorem Ipsum

Delicious food, very tasty and authentic. Shish Tawuk was especially tasty, and roasted eggplant dip. Great service as well. I'd come back again!

Fadi Qanadilo

Great Ambience i have to say and very good service responce. Tabouleh and Halloumi were spectacular appetizers. Grills were slightly were on the rare roasting level , we were asked how would we want them. And it was a group work lunch. I would say its pretty pricey compared to traditional food and nothing was mind blowing . The knafeh at the end wasnt special , not recommended.

Halima

Ordered the Arabic Turkey for Christmas party and we were all very impressed. The portions and quality were very good and all my guests left impressed. Only room for improvement is that the mash potato was a little runny and needed seasoning... but this is me just nit picking! Thank you to the Al Nafoorah team

Rakhi.priya

Loved the food and desserts at Al Nafoorah. Outdoor seating is great with amazing service at this time of the year. The Grilled lamb Kabab and Lebanese bread and Kibbeh is a must have when u visit.

Meat&potatoes

My favorite Lebanese restaurant in Dubai. Very consistent and always a pleasant experience. Been eating there for 10 years now and happy to say it’s still as good today as it was 10 years ago. Favorite dishes are the lamb shawarma and fattoush but overall a great Lebanese experience.

By far one of the Best Lebanese restaurants in Dubai. Great food and good variety in the menu. The presentation is good and simply Delicious and very tasty.

La Femme Gourmande🐝

Living in Dubai you will think that lebanese/ arabic food is good everywhere. You will have a surprise to find out that’s not true, only few places do authentic lebanese food and very tasty. The place was it’s own magic and Araby atmosphere, and maybe you will enjoy the belly dancers also. The menu is a fantastic journey through arabic food. I will recommend kibbeh nayyeh with their thin arabic bread.

Sunghee J

Al Nafoorah Salad was the Best one! Lentil soup also good with the bread. First time I tried Muhammara, So good. After, I came to UAE. Now, I'm happy to enjoy the Middle East Food in Dubai :-) Al Nafoorah's Lebanon foods are amazing. grilled seafood and meats are so perfect. I strongly recommend this place for visitor and local in Dubai!

Gingergenie

We went to that eatery because other places were fully booked and we wanted to go somewhere that we have not seen before. First of all, it took us time to find a table suitable for two people although the place was almost empty. There were hardly 2 occupied tables which was quite startling as it was the first day of Eid. Secondly, we ordered Kebab Kheshkhash along with appetizers and the moment the food landed on our table, a fly kept buzzing around on top of the food. It was very very annoying. There was absolutely nothing special about the food or the interiors yet we were charged AED 33.00 for service apart from VAT and the plates that we have ordered were pricey already. The food was typically Lebanese and we all know that Lebanese food is tasty but we could have enjoyed it at any other standard Lebanese restaurant with better settings and price. In other words, we felt that we have been ripped off and the whole place was very dull and not worth it.

YumiesbyMira

A nice place with welcoming staff. We had tabboulé and batata harra for starters. The tabboulé well tasty and juicy, however the borgol was still hard when it was served. I did not enjoy much the potato as they were somehow on the soft side. The tawouk plate was really good. The chicken cubes were tender and well marinated. I personally did not like much taste of the kebbé plate. The food was well presented.

Donutty

Al Nafoorah in JET near World Trade Centre is easily the best Lebanese any non- Lebanese person can wish for (that’s me!) the food is tasty and fresh, the service is friendly but respectful and ambiance very classy. I would go back again and again, for romantic dinners and team lunches and everything in between !

FrenchToastDxb

Their spread is not worth the amount you pay for. Food is very mediocre as well. They only had one seafood dish and couple of vegetarian dishes. Desserts are barely worth mentioning. Not worth the drive or the price.

Saad Abu Touq

Very good food. One of the best Lebanese restaurants in Dubai. Good selection, nice garden outside, and very friendly staff. You can't go wrong with Lebanese and Arabic food there.

Michel Amous

It is rare that a Lebanese restaurant maintains the fine dining status for a long time. Al Nafoorah is one of them. The service was very good. They could have taken it easy on bringing the hot and main dishes after and not with the cold dishes.

Ayakiita

amazing Arabic restaurant! !!!! This place became one of my fav lunch place - even it's a bit long walk lol the fish was fresh! ! ! and the grill was soft and amazing! I'm simply loving it! I. coming back soon x oh they have brilliant Arabic bread!!!!!

Swapnil Rogé

Do you know what the best thing about this place? Awesome Food? Yes. Open Air? Yes. Sheesha? Yes. But guys if you’re lucky to walk in the day they have a Russian belly dancer who is a treat to watch. She is tall and gorgeous and her moves will leave you with a dropping jaw. At least that’s what happened to me. When seated outdoors you see the Emirates towers and the Burj Khalifa. If you want to have a good evening and some Lebanese or Arabic food. Head over to this place and get a nice table to see the belly dancer.

Mstrchef

Went there for lunch today. This is a very good middle eastern cuisine restaurant in Emirates tower. Ordered fotoush, shawarma and shish tawook. All were excellent with good portion size. The interiors were well done up with satisfactory customer service.

Hisham @hsaq12

One of the best places for Levantine cuisine. I have been here every now and then and I have never been disappointed by the good quality of service. The ambience is nice and the lighting is so relaxing. I recommend it for a business dinner where you can chat easily. Great Job.

Shayan

Last week I’ve been to this place for dinner since i have heard good things about this we went for this branch instead of Jumeirah Zabeel Saray because that was too far at that time. We ordered Lentil soup it was average I’ve tried better than this on many places. From main course we ordered Boneless Chicken which was great in portion and tastes amazing. Mixed Grill with Lamb Chops were average you can find so many great places who serve great lamb chops I am big fan of lamb chops so I am disappointed with their mixed grill. My Overall experience was ok.

We ordered a garlic potato and mixed grill, both were very delicious at the moment. However, right after we dined there, both diners (us) had a serious stomachache, which made the food quality doubtful...

Akshay Talwar

Good presentation and curt service! Ordered the usual bread and spread along with the mixed grill! Convenient location is an added bonus! Will be back soon!

Shaji Shanmughan

Superb Arabic cuisine. Bread and Hammoos was awesome. I felt at time that this starters are enough for a lunch. When added with hot appetizers and grills the mood changed. Overall ambience and service was awesome. Recommend for business lunch.

Robin Azb

Very nice Lebanese food, we enjoyed a mixed of different salad, hot and cold mezze + mixed grilled. Everything was tasty, would go again for sure.

Arcsamer

We booked a table to celebrate our anniversary. The food was amazing especially the mixed grill and the appetizers. At the end they surprised us with a very nice complimentary cake, which was very delicious. In total it was great experience with the kind staff and the live music.

Sanjeev S. Thakur

I have been in Dubai for a long time but had never visited Al Nafoorah. Finally I made it to this place with my wife. We had decided not to try any starters but go for the main course and try their signature dishes. We ordered the Samkeh Bin Forn (Grilled Whole Sea Bass with lemon and hens) and the Grilled Beef (Beef cubes with capsicum and tomatoes). Both the dishes were well cooked and presented. The wine to go with these were a white and a red from Lebanon. It was also our first time to try Lebanese wine. It was nice too. The white was quite crisp and the Red was a young bouquet. The interiors now seem to be asking for refurbishment, though the cleanliness and upkeep were excellent. Will like to try their other branch in Zabeel Sarai too.

EatingwithN

Instagram: EATINGWITHN One of the good lebanese places in town, quality and taste is consistent. Service is great and prices are fair for what you get. Try it out

Annliz

Lovely ambience with live music playing. It was quite busy for a monday night but after I tasted the food I knew why! Great food...from the hummous,fattoush, lamb sausage with pomegranate sauce and sauteed potatoes to the shish tawooq and kebab hallabi. Enjoyed every bite. Their arabic bread was awesome as well. You can also enjoy a glass of wine with your food.

Traveling Foodaholic

My new favourite restaurant for arabic food. They make everything so well here, its not like another commercialized arabic restaurant. Their vine leaves, mashawi, beetroot salad were some of the things that really stood out but honestly just remembering the food we had is making my mouth water. Their food is great!

Louloueats

Had lunch here the other day and while everything was OK I can't say that I were impressed with anything. I think this place was better few years ago, or maybe it's just in my head. For an order of muttabal, kibbeh, tabbouleh and turkish coffee I've ended up paying over 150aed - rather pricy. Staff are nice and friendly but they did forget about part of my order, brought it late only after reminder and didn't apologize. I overheard ladies at the next table raving about their batata harra- maybe worth trying next time :)

Faysal Badran

Very very average performance from Nafoorah...BBQ over cooked along with prices pickles HORRENDOUS ...tabbouleh and hummus decent but not worth 175 dirhams per person Service quite nonchalant Better options for Lebanese in Dubai

Anil Sharma

It was an accidental discovery, we actually went to dine at another restaurant but it didn't work out. We saw Al Nafoorah on our way out and were happy to step in because they offered enough vegetarian choices. However as we took our seat, the amazing hospitality bowled us out. Our server Ahmad was indeed different, an excellent mix of humor and courtesy. He was quick to understand our concerns about vegetarian food and gave us assuring explanation on each vegetarian item on the menu. I know vegetarians can get to your nerves but this guy was very patient. The food was simply delicious, my teenage boys loved their Batata Hara, grilled halloumi and cheese springrolls. The steady supply of hot bread made the whole experience so special. I would definitely return to this place after summers.

Ahmad

Service is good and fast. food is average compared to Al Safadi and Leila... not a busy place for a thursday evening and they close cash at 11pm...

Hisham

One of Dubai's classic restaurants and typical Lebanese cuisine. Food is really fresh and tasty if you choose this place for special occasions and VIP guests invites you won't go wrong at all. However given its location at Emirates towers it is starting to look outdated and tired they need to revamp and modernize it. Food: 5 environment: 3 Service: 4

Benoit

The deco of the restaurant is a bit sad but the service is attentive with no extra. However, you go there for the Lebanese food: this is simple but cooked and prepared at perfection: the humus was creamy, the eggplant were super tasty, the cheese ball were perfectly cooked with no oil. Absolutely great Lebanese food to try!

Abdul Salam

Amazing food. Thought the portion will be less. But no, quite good and the food was great and filling. Also the mix grill, meat hummos and arayees were perfect.

L.D

Best Lebanese in Dubai with no doubt you can't compare it to any it stand out with best in town great tasty food and excellent service!bravo keep it up!

Sam

Love the food.. I will totally recommend them for a family or friends gathering.. Really good option .. tasty and delicious food .. My all time Lebanese choice..

Aysha Haider

Excellent food, lovely ambience (especially outdoors) and friendly service make this place a must visit. We had the Valentine's special dinner and while the food was too much,we simply couldn't stop ourselves from tasting everything. A special mention to the sausages. They're the best! They also offer shisha and drinks.

Sirin Gupta

Been hearing about it this place for long and hence I decided to explore it and I must say I had been very delighted. The outdoor seating is fabulous with good view, the food is brilliant and you cannot go wrong with the Lebanese beer along with it.One must try the Lambchops and the Arayes. The service was great too. While making the reservation, I confirmed that it was my Anniversary and they got us the fab cake .Will definitely recommend this place !

Aljamea85

Its been a while since I came last time to Al Nafoorah and the only thing I can say about this place is well done. Service is amazing, food was delicious (as usual) and prices are reasonable.

Aisha Al Jeziri

10 years passed since my last visit , still having their touch for quality and amazing taste.. enjoyed the service and worm basket of bread that kept coming to enjoy the cold starters of best taboula, hummus, fattouch and bab ghanoug :o)

Nora A

Had a shawarma sandwich and could not chew the meat !! Throwed it in the garbage . It cost 60 Dirhams btw !!! Kibbeh was under cooked ! Roket salad is a disaster. other salads and soups are ok. High rating comes from their shisha and the dancer btw !!

Yousefrida78

A great Lebanese place to dine and one of the best restaurant in dubai we enjoyed our dinner food and service were spot on we will defiantly return

Julien Jarjoura

Lara Nakhle

I always visit Al Nafoorah and this is the Best restaurant to serve Lebanese food in Dubai. The die she's are authentic Lebanese. My favorite dish was the chicken liver with pomegranate sauce and Hommos with meat. The staff are very friendly they serve also Shisha and have a covered outdoor area. Lebanese Alcohol is available as well. Great service and food!

Nairuz Reviews

Everyone. Listen up! This is an AMAZING Lebanese fine-dining restaurant in Dubai! As rare as it is to say, it actually checks all the boxes! ✔️ Delicious Lebanese Food & Drinks (both alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks) ✔️ Amazing Service (quick, helpful and eager to please!) ✔️ Convenient Location (with valet parking) ✔️ Evocative Interiors (brings me right back to Lebanon) ✔️ Reasonable Pricing (and worth every penny!) ✔️ Indoor Shisha Available (and it's amazing!) ✔️ Live Music (Very talented violinist!) ✔️ Bellydancer (drop dead gorgeous one too, and knows how to dance many different styles like Egyptian and Emirati) ✔️ Perfection (Couldn't ask for anything else to make this place any better!) Seriously guys, this is the place to be! 🙌🏻

Youseflamaa

One of the top and best Lebanese restaurant in Dubai excellent service and tasty flavored to perfection Lebanese mezze and mix grill highly recommended don't go to far!

Natalia Jones

Ate at Al Nafoorah yesterday the second time we've been here and it's absolutley wonderful beautifully cooked authentic lebanese food fabulous fragrant food and expertly spiced give it a try you will never be disapointed

Tania Mereeb

Was a guest at this restaurant so didn't check out previes reviews i can't add any more to what has already been said the food ,service,location are all superb definitley will return

Dr. H

At one time it used to be the best Lebanese restaurant in Dubai. This was my visit after long time and the restaurant has lost its charm. The decor is tired, the place smells food in a bad way. Service is still good. The food is good but not as good as it used to be. If one is around then it is a good place to visit but does not worth a trip.

Akshita

Music is a delight to listen to but can get overwhelmingly loud at times. Servers are sweet & attentive. Food is mediocre to good depending on the dish, but shisha was great.

MAJ

Went there a couple of times and needless to say that I loved it. Last Ramadan tried their Iftar buffet as well and can say it was decent. Wasn't a huge number of variety but every dish present was top notch!!! Service and ambience was top grade. Would definitely try again

Joyce AS

Used to go to Al Nafoorah a lot when I was working in Emirates Towers. Amazing place, food and service. Haven't tried the place since some time now, but I can really say that it was one of the best Lebanese places in Dubai...

Buzzingtales By Minakhee Mishra

Enjoyed the warmth of traditional Lebanese hospitality while indulging in a selection of Al Nafoorah’s classic dishes showcasing the best of Levantine cuisine. Buzzingtales strongly recommends the delicious array of cold mezzeh including hummus, moutabel, tabbouleh, fattoush and baba ganoush before moving on to hot mezzeh such as meat sambousek, cheese rukak, fried kebbeh, spinach fattayer and lahme bel ajen. Family can tantalise their taste buds with Al Nafoorah’s main course offering of mixed grill comprising shish taouk and kebab; Frikki bel Lahem; or for non-meat eaters, a tempting vegetable maghmor served with white rice. All made to order and from the heart. Round off the unforgettable meal with an assortment of traditional desserts including Um Ali, assorted Arabic sweets and a freshly prepared fruit platter, and the stage is set for a truly memorable day.

Ohanhagop98

Arabic fine dining at its best! Having lived in Dubai for the past 12 years, this restaurant proves itself to be the only* Arabic Restaurant to have sustained it's amazing quality and the fact that they serve alcohol is pretty special making it as I think the only Lebanese restaurant that serves it.

Daghergina

We went here after reading online reviews. We loved every delicious bite! We ordered hummus, baba Ganesh, lentil soup (my fav!) combination platter of lamb (perfectly cooked) beef kafta and chicken and the chicken liver appetizer. All were gobbled up and we each had different favorites. Everything was amazing... Authentic flavors and perfectly seasoned. I'm adding this to my best list of favorite restaurant in Dubai

Malekmohd73

Fantastic evening in Al Nafoorah restaurant fabulous food, wonderful & amazing views plus the staff are the best & very courteous and a big thank you for there excellent service. Will be back next time we are visiting Dubai

Hamad Fahad

Me and Ms.lolita enjoyed the night here at Al Nafoorah, the atmosphere was great, and the service was fast. The food was really good and tasty, especially the chicken liver with pomegranate and batata harra. Overall good experience.

Foodcriticdxb

You cannot go wrong with lebanese at al nafoorah. such exquisite and traditional lebanese dishes. No wonder HH dines here a lot. They always welcome you with their semi sprouted almonds, zesty fresh carrots and aged olives. My favorite dish was the hammour with tahini sauce. I can still taste the flavors lingering on my palate. unfortunatley its no longer on the menu. their cold and hot appetizers are always on spot in terms of traditional lebanese flavors, condiments and textures. My favorite appetizer is the chicken liver. Oh the sauce and flavors are just tantilizing. Try it :)

Goli Vossough

My ultimate favourite Lebanese in Dubai by far: Service impeccable Food delicious & fresh Staff knowledgable and actually have an opinion😊about what they serve Ambience warm and welcoming Zaatar salad a must have Livers with pomegranate sauce to die for Chicken shawarma, a dish not to be missed as the bread is so light and crispy Cheese rakakat ohh my it's divine Lamb makanek, just order it, it's a killer Lubia bil zait has that warm home feeling go for it Hummus, baba ghannoush , moutabel, tabouleh and fattoush a must

Steve Jones

This is the best Lebanese restaurant in Dubai,excellent mezze and tasty grills food definitely we will be back highly recommend keep it up

That Girl Who Travels

Out this evening with a very important overseas client. We picked al nafoorah because they are one of the better Lebanese restaurants in the city. What impressed: The food! You can't go wrong here with the staples: lamb chops, arayes, mixed grills, hommus, fattoush, etc. What really, really depressed: When you're a restaurant at the Emirates Towers, there is a certain duty- of presentability- that needs to exist. I was not happy with our server at all. He was a little feisty when we ordered our drinks- that was more of a communication gap. No harm. What I didn't appreciate was the fact that post- dinner we requested for a pot of mint leaves and hot water with 2 cups, and a pot of Moroccan tea with 3 cups. He insisted we order 5 "portions" of tea. I've never seen this at al nafoorah before but it's fine. They eventually bring out a pot of mint leaves and a pot of Moroccan. My guest requests if she could also have a glass to try the Moroccan tea as its a new concept to her, and the server retorts saying he will not cancel the mint leaf water because once it's on the bill it stays on. Total miscommunication, but it came off as rude to my guest, which was very unfair. If I'm bringing my overseas guest to your restaurant and you can see we've ordered lavishly enough to not be "skimping" out on the tea, please don't be petty about an extra cup to have a sip of something that we already ordered to the table. I will always go back to al nafoorah because I love it, but I would be careful if taking business clients/out of station folk.

Omar Madrid

One of my best Lebanese restaurants in Dubai. Very delicious and clean. Best salads with great ingredients. Recommended for a nice dinner with a great shisha

Mermaid23

Definitely one of the best Lebanese restaurants in Dubai. Great for out of town guests. Very authentic and fresh. Never disappoints.

Triska

As Lebanese restaurants go in Dubai, this one is pretty great. Perhaps a tad gaudy in its decoration, the food is a classier affair with all the classics. Service is prompt, can get a little loud on Thursdays.

Aoun Lutfi

The place has good food, the mixed grill was nice, however the service is not as it should be; they didn't serve everyone on our table and they were a bit slow. The place also has a nice belly dancing show and live music.

Salman

Considering the setting and the fact that the ruler of Dubai himself is a regular guest, I had high expectations from this place. Happy to report that it did not disappoint when it came to the food. The ambience is more business like with the majority of the patrons having a business lunch when we were there. The mezzo both cold and hot are spot on. The Jarjir salad with pomegranate molasses was excellent and the fried kebbeh, fatayer and samosas had flavorful stuffing of minced meat with pine nuts, spinach and cheese. The grilled lamb was perfectly cooked and juicy and the kebab halabi was the best I have had in the UAE. To round off we had the kashta with honey or clotted cream with honey. Simple dessert and fulfilling end to a wonderful meal.

Laranakhle6

excellent Lebanese restaurant ,enjoyed it from the time we enter till we left we were party of 10 we had a set menu it was well tailored full of starters cold,hot and nice mix grills main we will definitely come back

Lkhattar2016

Fantastic atmosphere sitting out side surrounded by Dubai's famous skyscrapers. The live music was wonderful and so were the food and service. We would go back to Dubai again just to have dinner at al nafoorah shisha available

Sana

What better way to end your weekend then a relaxing evening with sheesha and some fine Lebanese cuisine. Yes, I was at Al Nafoorah this week for a tasting and enjoying myself thoroughly with the beautiful view of the Burj Khalifa in this perfectly cold climate. I didn’t really expect this place to be busy but to my surprise it was packed.

Habib Younis

Went there on thursday the food was very nice at the terrace,service was excellent despite it was full they had a nice live entertainment and a belly dancer great place and best lebanese food in town

Julie Moris

I was recommended by a friend to this place it is the best Lebanese food i ever tried and service ,situated on the ground floor of the emirates towers amazing views very professional staff will visit again highly recommended

Seyada

The atmosphere is very nice specially in winter. But i must say that the indoor seatings are very good. Food is yummy specially the hommus, shish tawouq and chicken liver. I like how you can view Emirates towers on top of you and little far youcan see burj khalifa. There's also valet parking. For those of you who love shisha it's very nice there according to my friends since i don't smoke. But one thing i didn't like which that they don't have hot chocolate for me i love to have it everywhere i go but it's fine i can have it somewhere else.

Jai Andrew Lawrence

Great spot to ring a visitor! We asked for seating outside which faced the gorgeous Emirates towers on one side and the Burj Khalifa on the other. The music was soft but pleasant and definitely upped the ambience along with the dim lighting. We got olives and almonds before we ordered even. We ordered the tabouleh and the al nafoorah hummus to start. The tabouleh was light with just the right balance of olive oil and lemon juice. The hummus was delicious with the hint of cumin making it unique. For mains we got the al nafoorah mixed grill and the al nafoorah shawarma. The shawarma came cut and was a decent sized portion. Again, perfect balance of garlic, pickle and chicken - my only complaint would be the Saj that wrapped it was slightly too dry. The mixed grill was amazing! Perfectly cooked cubes of chicken and beef and the kofta too was well marinated with the coriander and the pepper flavouring it well. All in all it was good food and relatively well priced considering the location and the alcohol license. Winner of the night was the warm bread hands down!

Nafoorah is one of the places I visit when I'm truly craving Lebanese food, due to their authentic menu and dishes. The place and atmosphere are both nice and staff are good. Must try: chicken liver with pomegranate sauce hummus with beef

I have been to lot of Arabic restaurants but i can tell you this has become of my fav place to eat good lebanese food and other traditional arabic food...The starters we had was enough to fill a person but one should be clever to taste a bit and eat a lot on a main course...:-) For the starters we had Al Nafoorah salad, Hummous, Hummoous with meat, Chicken liver with pomegranate sauce (which was deliciously yummy), Tabouleh, Fattoush, Warak Enab Bil Zaite which is Vine leaves, Kibbeh and Lamb Makanek which is Lamb sausages with lemon juice...I had tasted all the starters which is really good and tasty ..No complaints in any dish but i can list my favs here which will be Lamb Makanek and chicken liver .....For the main course we had the mix grill which comprised of lamb kebab, kofta kebab, shish tawouk....this was one of the best mix grill i had which the meat was soft and properly cooked and plus super delicious...Beverages i had the maza beer which is a lebanese beer which i had stated in the earlier review of a restaurant that i didn't like it much but they have the lebanese wine which was really good and i liked it ... You have a choice of either sitting inside or outdoors .....As winters are here you can sit outside and enjoy the music and belly dancing.Staff was very helpful and service is fast as well....I will visit again here for sure.

What a nice place to relax sitting outside with shisha and a nice meal along with wine. This turned to be a long evening. Started with hummus, flaffel and several other appetizers along with wine from Lebanon. And shisha. All excellent. The mains were grilled meats and fish of all types. They were so nice tender and succulent. Topped of with more wine. The staff and service was also very good. Great job.

Went after being recommended by a friend, this Lebanese joint inside the Emirates tower is famous for their grills and kebabs. We had a mix of salads and humous as appetizers, including tabouleh and fattoush. The salads were great, and then we had lamb sausages which was good as well. Then came the grilled platter, the taste was good but iv definitely had better grills in Dubai. Ambience is not bad, but I think the outside setting is better, but unfortunately we went for lunch so it was not an option.

One of the best restaurant for Lebanese food excellent ambience and food. Would recommend to meat platter and shawarma. Lastly would advice to book in advance since its always packed with food lovers

Great food but expensive as there is a lot of cheaper competition out there. The fact that it is licensed is essentially what you are paying for but the food is great.

After a while I decided to go back to nafoora in Emirates towers to check it out , the food was very good but in my opinion what's stands out at this place is the grilled meat and kebabs, by far the best in dubai Follow me on instagram @foodi_on_call

I booked this 3 months in advance and asked specifically for outside seating for the view. We arrived, restaurant was empty and they still sat us inside, when this happens I just feel disappointed from the start. We had the Jumeriah flavours voucher but be warned there is a surcharge which works out more expensive to use the vouchers than if you just order from the menu, it is very strange. Food was average at best with a few ok dishes but nothing special. I would not go here again as there are better places to go.Had the following: Lentil Soup, Chicken Soup, Batata Hara, Hommous, Chicken Shawarma, Kebab Kheshkhash.Best dishes we had were the soups, Hommour and Batata Hara
