One of the best Shawarma Ive tasted for a very affordable price! Friendly staff and lots of other food option
A typical lebanese experience in the heart of DIFC. Service was very fast and food was delivered hot and fresh with their special lebanese bread. Their falafel platter was crispy and yummy. Not to forget the tabbouleh, cold & hot mezzeh, mixed grill platter & super merry cream.
We ordered lebanies breakfast. Was delivered on time. All freshly baked. Amazing taste. Very fast delivery. Worth the money.
Very fresh food! Delicious and we truly enjoyed it!!!
Will order again, the food is nomnomnom!!!
Mandaloun - DIFC “Authentic Lebanese Restaurant in Dubai
Price: AED 70-85 per person
Location: DIFC, Financial Center
Al Mandaloun is an authentic Lebanese restaurant born in Dubai. They started their journey from Heart of Deira in the mid-eighties, and moved to the heart of Dubai International Financial Center in 2005. Since inception Mandaloun reflects the warmth of Arabian hospitality and to proudly showcase the traditions and tastes of Lebanon.
Ather has always been a hard-core fan of Lebanese cuisine as most of his colleagues in PwC were Lebanese and he used to explore many Lebanese places in Downtown and DIFC with them. Surprisingly as he said he was not able to try Mandaloun before and once he did he was in love with their food and taste.
A definite thumbs up for this place from Foodie Rahgeer.
Very delicious food. Polite and helpful staff. Nice ambience. Big portions. We enjoyed each minute. Nice place to have breakfast lunch or dinner with colleagues or family. Recomended
We really enjoyed our visit. Portions were huge great price. Food was nice fresh and delicious. We will definetly come back.
First time ordering breakfast from this Lebanese restaurant.
We ordered 3 tipes of Manakish: Akawee Cheese, Zaatar & Lahmeh Bihin. And we got 6 mini pizzas.
The Manakish were full of ingredients as you can see in the pictures. Plenty of Cheese, Zaatar & Lahmeh which made them tasty.
The only thing is that I would have liked the Akawee Cheese to be more salty. It felt like as if the cheese was left in water for long time during the preps.
The order came with complimentary crudités. The tomato was very red & tasty.
Very nice presentation of food. Came in a box & double wrap to keep it warm.
Thank you.
Unimaginable food, its a heaven for lebanese food. I really enjoyed every bite from everything. Nothing disappointed me. Tabouleh was extremely fresh, falafel was crispy and all other dishes were fabulous.
I loved the food even though i was tasting authentic arabic food for the first time.. We hogged on to the food and forgot to click..😆
Great food and very large portions! Prasad was extremely kind and helpful. The manager also passed by to check on us and went above and beyond to keep out group happy. Thank you!
wooow that food is good more than good even , the place is really clean and seats so comfortable you feel you will not leave the hall , of course, food deserve 5 stars and the staff is so polite and professional unfortunately i don't remember mahmod or mohamed but all staff deserve 5 stars
Loved the breakfast so much, such a good place to order Arabic breakfast with good quality and prices.
Food was very good.
Worst experience with the lady standing in front of the restaurant to assist the customers, she asked me to pick the order from the back side of the restaurant which is really shameful.
She told that all the pick up is from the back side . Don’t know why she want to send a customer to the back side even though I showed her the summary of zomato ordering.
Really terrible service !! This type of staff will ruin the reputation of the restaurant !!
The restaurant manger assisted and sorted this issue. Thanks for the restaurant manager
very good food qulaity and not expensive , it's little bit full of fat but the taste is realy cool i like it much , staff is awesome and funny
Really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. The food is really tasty, and the portions are great. Staff was very friendly, and helpful. I will definitely be back at this restaurant in the future too.
Strongly recommend this place, nice and friendly staff, clean restaurant with beautiful servings. I loved mixed grills, fatoush salad, chicken liver, cheese rools. Hope to come back very soon.
I love Lebanese food specially from this place I ordered Moutabel and the shawarma platter very good
We loved the place! So far the best Lebanese cuisine! Service was very nice, and there’s a valet parking.
This place has been here forever. It is so so so good and you’ll know why it’s lasted so long when you dine in.
The food is simply delicious and healthy and clean.
We had the falafel, the Taoouk, fattoush , tabouli , hummus, batata Harra.
It was all scrumptious.
We can’t wait to come back and when the weather is better we will sit outside! Will be even better.
The service is also really good and attentive!

A good Lebanese restaurant with delicious dishes. The fattoush and cheese burak and falafel were so good.
The staff were very nice. We also tried the hummus and it was great. Very goid choice if you are craving some lebanese meals also they have delivery.
When i want to go home for food, i go to Al Mandaloun at DIFC. One thing that i love about it when i go there, is the music atmosphere, really makes me like sitting at Al Hamra Street and enjoying the love of taste of my home town Lebanon. Please try the Garlic as in Garlic Garlic by itself. One thing i learned about restaurants, if the garlic is super yummy then the whole experience will be super amazing. Thanks for Serge and Ahmed at DIFC for taking care of us. Can't wait to see you guys again.
Amazing and delicious food, menu is full of several different options, delivery was on time and safe and healthy precautions was taken
Honestly, loved loved loved the authentic taste. Each dish had its own mesmerizing smell. Specially the mixed grill, liver & fatoush
If you’re looking for a good restaurant, this is the one! Amazing Lebanese restaurant! The food was delicious! Everything very fresh. The mixed grill was tender and juicy. Salads and hummus were amazingly well. Would totally recommend this place!! Staff was very courteous and kind.
Amazing food. Very delicious. Good quantity and very fresh
We enjoyed a Lebanese breakfast at home by getting food delivered from here. The packaging was really cute & food looked very nice once platted you on the table.
We tried 2 kinds of traditional Lebanese pastries filled with meat. It tasted very nice.
We also tried Lamb brochette- the meat was cooked very well & the lemony flavor was great!
Will definitely order traditional pasties again when I have guests over as it looked & tasted great.
My rating:
Good: 4.5/5
Packaging: 5/5
Delivery timing: 5/5
Pricing: 5/5
Last week I discovered a hidden gem in the heart of DIFC.
Al Mandaloun is a Lebanese restaurant that serves authentic Lebanese food made fresh and presented with love.
As it’s my first time at Al Mandaloun I ordered a variety of most-loved starters and a mixed grill dish as main.
We always say that if hummus is tasty at a restaurant then the food is good.
The hummus was yummy as well as the fattoush. The spicy potatoes were delicious and crunchy.
The grilled halloumi is served with tomatoe sauce which is special. They also have the cheese and zaatar manakish which was yummy too. The grills were perfectly done and the meat was very lean.
If you work in DIFC or you are in the area during lunchtime I highly recommend Al Mandaloun as a good Lebanese restaurant.
The food made with love, if you try once definitely u want to try again and again. Highly recommended. Delivery is supppeeeer fast
Enjoyed the experience since we set foot in the restaurant and until we left. Service by Ali was excellent and super fast. The fattoush was really delicious! And the portions are very generous. Highly recommended for Lebanese cuisine fans.
The food was very fresh and tasty! Manakeesh is one love-so yummy!! Great service, on time delivery. We literally ate everything in 5 mins, because it was so delicious. Thanks!!!

The best lebanes restaurant to try in Dubai. Food was very fresh and delicious starting from the cold mezzeh: tabouli , fattoush,mutabbal,hummus all was 10/10 so yummy ,fresh and you feel you are eating clean food. Then the hot mezzeh : batata harra won my heart crispy and full of flavours, falafel were hot not oily and very delicious, grilled Halloomi pan is so reccomended to try.
Manakeesh mix cheese and zaatar is an excellent option for breakfast or light dinner , the dough is thin and so yummy. Mix grill is a must try lobed the shish tawok to the kabab reaching to the tikka which i used not to order it in other restaurants because i never had the luck to have soft meat but finally found it in Mandaloun very soft and well cooked 👌 fresh juices are refreshing with no added water. I was lucky also to be the first customer to try creamy merrt which is the chocolate vanilla icecream cone😍
You can dine in or order a delivery and you won't regret trying this amazing place.
A big thanks to Ali who was very friendly and took care of my order
Food so delicious and fresh, on time delivery, very satisfied! Especially shish taouk was soo delicious!
the boneless chicken was delicious. And I also really love the spinach miracle. This restaurant is very tasty.
Al Mandaloun serves good quality fresh Mediterranean food. We ordered falafel, fatoush, wine leaves, spicy potatoes and hummus for starters. Their starters were so good that we didn’t have much room for a main course. However we got a mixed grill and I am glad we did as it was delicious. Special mention will be Mr Serge who was on his toes always and added to the good customer service experience. For desserts we had Kunafa and I felt it needed a tad bit of improvement. But I will still rate it a 5 star based on the starters, main course and service .
One of the best Lebanese restaurants in the Emirates to eat very delicious food
My love for Middle Eastern food is an open secret, and I always try finding new restaurants. I'm surprised I haven't visited Al Mandaloun yet!!
Located in DIFC, this restaurant is a welcome treat. The staff is ever so courteous and believe in excellent service served with delicious food.
For salads, we chose Fattoush & Tabbouleh. Both the salads were fresh and sumptuous.
For the cold mezze, we ordered Hummus, Moutabal, stuffed vine leaves and fresh bread. The dips were smooth and delicious. The bread was freshly made and was a perfect accompaniment for the dips.
We also ordered a falafel platter (best ever), batata harra, chicken liver in Hot mezze.
For main course we ordered the famous Shish Taouk and Grilled boneless chicken. The shish taouk was juicy, and tender and tasted divine. The grilled chicken was equally amazing.
I would definitely go back and would highly recommend this restaurant!
Ordered boneless chicken, kofta, and grilled haloumi. Gutted didnt ordered the manakeesh.. . Everything is delicious. Their Boneless chicken is a must try.
Lebanese cuisine at its best!
Amazing vibe and amazing food! Loved it
The food was really tasty. The quality of ingredients was really fresh. The portion was really big! One of the great foods so far.
We ordered food from here yesterday totally loved it.Food was delivered on time and was fresh and hot.Tried their chicken and meat shawarma,chicken wings & cheese manakish etc.Everything tasted good.
Really yummy Lebanese food! Delivery was super fast and tasted sooo good!
Loved every thing I have ordered from them- food so tasty - service in a great level - became one of my favorite Resturant to order from - had their mixed grill which was really sooo good
Thank you 🙏🏻
Insta @mo.ali555 i loved the taste and the quality one of the restaurant that offers a real tasty home manakesh plus the grilled chicken is significantly marinated to the taste of the heart , halloumi cheese so fresh packing quality is amazing , food quality is high easy to order hope you try it soon
The best hummus in the DIFC! Relaxing place to have shisha, service is always good and it's priced well. Will definitely be back for more hummus, and the chicken shawarma is also good!

This restaurant is in the prime location of the open courtyard in DIFC. Very spacious restaurant with seating arrangement inside as well as outside the restaurant. During winter it is very cool to sit and have dinner outside. Nice and cosy place.
We started with their new dish Kunafa Halloumi. This is fried Halloumi coated with Crispy Kunafa. This is a new twist to the traditional Halloumi. Excellent dish dont miss this one.
The Al Mandaloun Figgy Hummos comes with walnuts and Figs. Nice taste of the Hummos with the Figs and Cashew. Must try.
The Chicken Shawarma plate with the traditional Pickles is a WOW dish. Served with sides of Fries and Garlic paste. Portion is very generous. The chicken is very nicely fried.
Batata Hara topped with Corriander herbs & Garlic is very crispy and tasty. This is a must try for all. The Green chilli garnishing is not at all spicy.
Falafel Plate comes with Sesame sauce. Nicely fried and crispy. Served hot and enjoyable.
Pomogranate juice and Pomegranate with Pineapple juice is freshly made and very tasty even without adding sugar. The taste is very very refreshing.
For the main course we went for the Arayess and Mix grill consisting of Lamb Chops, Grilled skewers of Lamb. The Chops are grilled perfectly, not too hard and not too soft. The marination is excellent. The Lamb Skewers also have a nice mix of herbs. Soft and succulent and very tasty. This is also not to be missed.
Mouhalabiya Milk Pudding topped with Rose water & Pistachio was mildly sweet and very nice ending..
Good service, good food. Not cheap but reasonable for the location. We ordered lamb and hummus. Chicken shawarma. All good. Nice smiling waiter. They give tiny bowls of labn3h, tabbouleh and olives with free hot bread. Parking is paid - 20 DHS a hour.
We'll definitely be coming back
If you are a meat lover, then this is the place to be. Had mixed grill and lamb chops on Thursday and they were good enough to keep me satisfied over the weekend.
Ordered yesterday kichik man2ouche, the dough is amazing and tasty reminded me of the real labanese bakeries the issue was with the Kichik it was too spicy couldn’t eat it!

JUST GOOD FOOD !!!
The advantage of dining on a weekend in a restaurant in the business district is that it is mostly very quiet which works to the benefit of the diner...
Al Mandaloun falls in that category- a huge place it has 2 sections - a counter top with live cooking and takeaways - popular with office goers and the regular seat in dining where we dined.
A brief summary - all the food is fresh and yummy....
The complimentary Zaatar sticks served with fresh Labneh were a start to a wonderful meal.
We ordered the mini manakeesh platter which is a meal in itself - assorted mini manakeesh - being veg., they changed the non-veg. offering on the platter with veg. ones..the Fattoush salad was fresh and crispy with the right amount of sumac and pomegranate molasses.
The Beiruti hummus was great as were the Batata Harra, falafel and French fries. The grilled halloumi could have been better.
We also ordered the fresh watermelon juice...
The only drawback in the meal was the breads - considering that everything else on the menu was as close to perfection as you can get, the thick breads although warm were a bit disappointing- it would have been better if they made them in house.
Service was good, fast and efficient. Pricing is the standard DIFC rates which is a bit on the higher side. But the food more than make up for it - if you want a quiet good meal , head to this place on the weekend - you won't regret it...

Restaurant is located in DIFC . Amazing restaurant! Nice atmosphere and delicious food! Stuff very pleasant and pleasurable . Recommend you to visit this gorgeous place!
After viewing the ratings, visited this place for the first time and this has now become one of my lunch regulars. I usually order the
Chicken Soujouk Wrap (Must try)
Chicken Shawarma Wrap
Lamb Kofta wrap
Lamb Kofta with Vermicilli rice (Must try)
Harissa Soup
Cheese with Egg Bread (Pizza Style)
Leabanese Beirut Hummus (Must try)
The service is good. Reasonably priced for the ambience and quality. One of the good places for takeouts too. Overall, always a good experience.
Visited this place during lunch time ordered for their mix grill which was very good and their grape mint shisha was excellent not bad at all
one of the best lebanese restaurant in town... always crowded during lunch time, ensure to reserve your table before visit. friendly and helpful staff and tasty food!
Nice place , we came here after work for late lunch and it was amazing , we ordered fattouch , hummos , cheese rolls , makanek , and the mixed grill and its all worth it , staff are very friendly and attentive , keep it up guys :) cheers
My go to restaurant for lebanese food.
Been here quiet several times and i love the shish tawook platter, beirut hummus, batata harra and felafel platter. I think they do great job with the service the table would be available for the customer as soon as they get in. Good service
An Authentic Lebanese Restaurant popular for its dine in and take away. It was my second visit.
We took Vegetarian Pizza, it was with mozzarella cheese, olive, capsicum,corn and spices
Warm and delicous
The food is seriously delicious and I love ordering delivery from here as it's always very prompt.
My only "improvement" feedback would be that the menu needs to be edited as I think whoever wrote it is confused about what "vegan" means. Vegan= no animal products at all, including milk or eggs. Clarifying this will help you to cater better to vegan and vegetarian customers as this style of eating becomes more popular.
Thanks for the awesome food and for having veggie options available!

Your Foodie Friends,
G and M eat ❤️
I visited Al Mandaloun alongside my family & we had a fabulous time! The staff was so attentive and friendly, the food was absolutely outstanding and the setting was beautiful. Sitting in the heart of DIFC this Lebanese gem is sure to surprise you! Surrounded by the high rise buildings their outdoor seating is cozy & comfortable enough to get you started! We enjoyed a combination of hot and cold mezze all freshly made in the restaurant itself. All of the food is made to perfection! The shish tawook was our favorite, the chicken was so fresh and their ingredients are of highest quality which truly reflects in the taste of the food! For a choosy eater like myself, specially when it comes to fresh poultry it’s fabulous to find a place using such high quality ingredients & absolutely freshly made food! Also don’t forget to try their desserts (:
Simply amazing I have never been into a place where I enjoyed every bite of all their dishes .... real Lebanese taste and quality special the mixed grill .I would definitely go back
One of the best Lebanese Restaurants in Dubai, especially DIFC area. Yesterday we had a catering Iftar event and Mandaloun did the full setup for us which was perfectly done, delivered exactly on time and food was WOW, the stuffed lamb quality is something that you can't forget and with that we decided again to have today another Iftar event and we ordered same food from Mandaloun DIFC due to great quality, service and value. Well done Mandaloun team. Mix Grills, Salads, Appetizers and Pastries are perfectly done. Thanks for making our Iftar event a memory that we won't forget.
Well on a lazy week day wondering what to order, Al Mandaloun popped up in the search. So said let us give it a try and didn’t regret. I ordered tabboule, mixed grills and mini pizza. The food packaging is nice and neat. The food was super amazing and the pizza brought me back to childhood days when mom used to do the dough and sauce. It was super yummy and enjoyed it to the last bite. The tabboule was fresh and nice, so as the grills. One small observation for improvement the meat cuts and taouk quantity was very little, which I believe should be a bit more for a mixed grill platter. The overall experience was great and highly recommended to try. Will definitely try it again. Keep it up guys! Cheers
Came for iftar and had their set menu for a very affordable price. Had jallab for drinks, lentil soup, hummus, moutabal, fatoush, vine leaves, eggplant mousaka and fish tajin for cold mezze, mix mouajanat for hot mezze and for the main course we had mixed grill with fries and of course a meal is not meal without a dessert, we had assortment of katayef and coffee. They also offer complimentary shisha. The place is welcoming, with a very accomodating staff, they even offered us “dilis” which i can highly recommend for you guys to also try.
Valet parking available
Grilled food is my favourite but i tried middle Eastern for something new. I take kafta with cheese and kabbeh. Delicious in taste
Food quality is so Good and customer service too. I like their ambiance .
Price is fair enough
Lunch on Friday Lebanese cuisine. The service was excellent and the food was very fresh and delicious. Ordered in for a moutabel, hamus, lamb kofta. They also had a deal running AED 100 for cold mezzeh and sheesha free.
Located in the restaurant in level 2, gate district2 , and it is surrounded with other restaurant.
It has an outdoor and indoor seated area.
We came for lunch and we were welcomed and seated immediately.
We ordered taboule and mixed grill, it was served on time. The service was good and the food quality as well
It recommended for Busienss lunch for Lebanese food lovers.
Visited this fabulous #Lebanese restaurant called @mandaloundifc with my foodie friend @surenrajamohan.Situated in the gate village with a seating capacity of over 400 pax, Mandaloun is the first ever lebanese restaurant in Gate village and most popular one. We started with all the usual in Middle Eastern mezze including hommous, tabbouleh, chicken liver and needles to say, a basket of hot homemade bread.The mezze were reasonably good. Personal fave for both of us was the hot mezze - the liver.
This is one of a popular hang out place in DIFC by royals and power brokers. Anyone wanting a fine Lebanese cuisine in a comfortable setting but a place where the food does the talking this Mandaloun is definitely the go to place.
