After a long period of being home locked and fighting the invisible enemy, when it came to celebrating my friend's bday, we were really serious about hunting the right place for celebration, which should be hygienic, stylish, highly rated & have good reviews. We zeroed down to Intersect by Lexus & we glad we did that.
We were seated in a cosy ambience with ample social distance between the tables. We were greeted by Alder, whose helpful service and sense of humor brightened up our mood immediately. Later we were served by Brij Singh, whose attitude and professionalism were indeed impressive. With his help we ordered the food. The menu was initially looking simple but he helped us to choose some amazing starters and main course. The Roasted Cauliflower and the Halibut fish deserves special mention. The food looked delicious and tasted even more delicious. We also met Robert & Sandhya, the friendly chefs, who made our afternoon so delightful. Finally as a celebration, we were served a cheesecake (the best we have ever tasted so far) by the restaurant.
In this pandemic grim situation, thank you team Intersect by Lexus for gifting us a wonderful afternoon. We wish great success to you and would definitely recommend you to our friends. Cheers.
Amazing customer service! Bridge is an extremely amicable waiter who made us feel so comfortable! Loved the beef sandwich we ordered and chicken satay! From ambiance to customer service, its an absolutely top notch place to visit ! And thanku bridge for such great customer service !
In the heart of DIFC, you can find this hidden gem. An intersection of design and beauty, which I had the chance to attend an event at. Will definitely pay them a visit and try out their menu.
Great service really cool place nice atmosphere
Brig's service was excellent and thoughtful. He went out of his way to help and the chicken satay sandwich is superb
I went here with my friends and it was a great decision to choose this place the food was great as was the service.
Had a great time.
Glad we managed to grab a meal here before flying back home! So so so thankful for Brij who is so friendly from the start till the end of our dining experience! Will definitely pop back to this awesome place the next time we're in Dubai! CHEERS!
I really enjoyed the concept and that even at business lunch it is still fine dining. The changing menu is great too. This place is for a refined palette who understands and appreciate the finer details
Amazing restaurant, the waiters are BEYOND nice and attentive, and the Butter Chicken is A GEM!! went back within the same week just to enjoy again the amazing butter chicken - having been to India and to multiple restaurants where this is served, all I can say is that it was AMAZING
Opening the doors of a brand space to invite visitors to experience the brand’s unique features and live the Lexus story without stepping behind the wheel sounds like a genius concept to me. The very reason why I picked this restaurant for a mid-week meal with Mr.V. Oh and yes, it does really help that he is a super-crazy automobile fan.
The interiors focus on the bamboo wall which embodies intricate details of the Lexus steering wheels...[ Read full post on gabsofagastronome.blogspot.com ]
Intersect By Lexus was originally conceived as a lounge, a restaurant, a library and a garage space (on the lower floor) that would host Lexus concept cars. Designer Masamichi Katayama’s interior, although very modern and artistic, has enough automotive elements penned in to remind you that you are in a space created by a luxury car brand. Self-confessed car nuts, my son and I flipped when we first visited in early 2016. A credit to his original work, it still looks as fresh today as it did back then.
Had the organic salmon and Chilean sea bass and they were cooked perfectly and Our waiter Bridge was really helpful and welcoming. I loved the overall ambience of the place, contemporary and cozy.
Had a lovely lunch here last Thursday. I opted for the business lunch which included a squash, a salad, a beef main course and a date-based pudding for dessert. The food was all very delicious and well-presented. Also the in-house baked bread served at the beginning was excellent.
The ambience was enjoyable and refreshing as the decor / atmosphere is distinctly different from the other places in DIFC.
The entire staff was very friendly. Our host - Brij - was very hospitable and took especially good care of us which made the experience even better.
Overall, we had a great time and will definitely visit again.
Place looked grand and everything lexus!!
The passion fruit drink was too good and tasty. We had ordered soup and my squash soup was so rich and creamy you just dont want the dish to get over. My friend had ordered beef for main course and liked it. Since they had very limited vegetarian options i had just ordered sodes- mashed potato and cauliflower with nuts. The cauliflower was amazing but the mashed potato did not taste that creamy. Seemed a little bit grainy.
We finished our meal with a dessert a classic cheesecake with candied pecans -marvelous dessert; it was textured well, creamy, light and not too sweet also. Perfect end of a lunch. Only recommendation is to have more vegetarian or vegan dishes in the future. The place is a great location to host parties as well.
Very nicely hosted by Brij Mohan Sharma. Lovely food and ambience. A good variety of options and healthy food. We were served on time and food was at the right temperature. Overall can be recommended
Never expected how wonderful it turns our night from the moment we entered this elegant restaurant specially it’s a night to celebrate my Love’s birthday. You will be confused if it was brought to you by restautanteur or an automaker.
The lexus motifs are all over the interiors and we’ve got a quick tour of the place and history of it.I love the atmosphere..
The staffs are really accommodating specially Mr. Plaid. We ordered Pan-seared French Duck and Chillean Seabass. But before that we got a complimentary Spicy passion fruit, and bread from the Bar tender. Pretty cool and sweet.
And lastly they prepared a Birthday cake and candle. Oh! The signature “Date and Sesame Cake” for my love. All of the staff gathered to sing and Mr. Plaid even handover a sweet envelope of greeting card for him. Such a wonderful night. But there’s more! He gave us 4 magazine copies of the last magazine they’ve released as gift.
Undforgettable moment. Looking forward to go back to this beautiful place.
I’m thanking all the staffs for the night!
Intersect By Lexus is a greqt restaurant with great food and high quality. First of all the decor in this restaurant is very beautiful, lovely to sit at. With a bar downstairs, which is really beautiful. The food here is great, breakfast, lunch or dinner. And the coffee is amazing.
The staff here is very helpful, kind and nice. The food is quite good. And the atmosphere is excellent. And it’s holiday seasons now. So the price is a bit high than the normal price.
It's not often that I would be at all interested in dining at an obvious promotional vehicle of a car company (pun intended) but Intersect by Lexus is not your average pop up venue or show room but rather a uniquely executed and refined dining concept that just happens to have reference to the brand and alas a car in the basement.
Had a brilliant lunch here. Great atmosphere and the staff are very accommodating and friendly. Our waiter Bridge took good care if us. Will definitely be back!
Dinner at Intersect was a wonderful experience! It is an excellent venue with lots of cool Lexus parts and products on display. The food was high quality, beautifully presented and delicious. We had personal service from our amazing server Brij and were very well taken care the whole evening. He made a delicious hibiscus and spice tea at the table using an interesting pot and what looked like a Bunsen burner!!. Thank you Brij and all at Intercept for making it a special and memorable evening. We will definitely be back!!!!
LUXURIOUS - From the ambience to the food to the staff!
It was such an amazing dinner experience at Intersect by Luxus. I give this place a very high rate:
Customer Service = 5
Establishments ambience = 5
Quality of food and drinks = 5
Price = 4
Overall = 5

Our waiter Brij was the man! He made us feel welcomed, he was super nice to us, he always made sure we are comfortable and enjoying our meals, he helped us choose our food, his service was beyond amazing.
Let's start with their warm delicious bread, it's a score to me when a restaurant gives you a complimentary bread! They served us a basket of different types of bread, sunflower became my new favorite bread!
We ordered two appetizers, their signature Kale and Avocado Salad was very organic, it had a touch of peanut butter taste that I loved. Their Grilled Prawns with super Quinoa Salad was to die for, the taste was very refreshing and the way the prawns were cooked was excellent!
Now, this is my first time in a long while to eat duck meat, I ordered their meat signature Pan Seared French Duck, it comes with pickled red cabbage sauce, rosti potato and mixed vegetables. This main course was very very good, the duck meat was well cooked and you can taste the juiciness when you chew, the rest of the meal was absolutely fabulous.
When it comes to drinks, I always like to try new flavour from the menu, so I ordered a Fizzy Umeshu from their mixology, it was really nice, it has plum liqueur with a fresh orange twist and soda water. The liqueur wasn't too strong, it was just perfect to me.
To make us feel more welcomed, both chefs came by to our table to make sure everything was alright, that's another plus right there!
This restaurant is ideal for romantic dates, birthdays, anniversaries etc as it is very expensive and classy. If you plan on visiting, you may dress to empress ;)
Luxury is in each detail ! That is all i can keep thinking about, when remincing about our brunch experience at @intersectbylexus.
.
Intersect by Lexus serves one of the best brunches in town with precision in every dish and flavours that are bang on.
.
A 5 course meal with unlimited salad servings, plenty of sharing platters- which are again unlimited, a main course and heartful of desserts. You cannot go wrong with your choice of brunch at intersect because every dish is carefully proportioned, served with elegance, and made with pure organic, gluten free products that are not just healthy but smacking delicious at the same time.
.
The brunch is valued at aed 175 only inclusive of bottomless soft drinks and taxes is worth every penny and for the quality of food they serve, its worth it. Moreover, the restaurant is beautifully designed, with intriguing interiors and elegant sitting arrangements. The staff at the restaurant are professional, well dressed with a smile on their faces always. Serving their guest with heart and catering to all your needs. Our server for the evening was Mr Bridge Pande and his service was commendable and do look out for him when u visit the restaurant because he surely loves what he does and u will be pleased with his services.
.
Start of your meal with Amuse Bouche which is a black chickpeas hummus served along side crispy mix crutons. Latter comes in sufficient portions of each salad out of which are favourite definitely was the smoked chicken with roasted pumpkin & beetroot dressing, and the kale & Avacado salad with sunflower tahini.
.
.
Later move on to your sharing platters which are exquisite and extremely pleasurable. One of the dish that we cudn't help ourselves from serving a second or even third or fourth round was the "Air Dried Beef with Labneh and Poached Pear" - A dish which was like a harmonious marriage of decadent flavours. Every element adding flavour to the dish and burst out with flavours. Every bite of carrot emulsion with yoghurt on sunflower crouton was delightful and rich in flavour.
.
The mains were palatable, succulent and rich. The proteins were cooked perfectly and well balanced with sweet and savoury sides on the dish that just added enhanced favourings to the dish. I tried out the charred duck breast with green lentils, glazed apples and molasses juz. It was finger licking as the duck was juicy, tender, and loved how it was served alongside the little sweet, little sour glazed apples.
.
.
At the end of ur meal, just spoil urself with some toothsome dessert which are again unlimited my friends and are perfect ending to ur luscious meal. Being a coffee lover my favourite definitely was the bread and butter pudding with coffee espuma & hazelnut jelly.
We had the Friday Brunch @ Intersect by Lexus to celebrate our friend’s birthday and it was just M.E.M.O.R.A.B.L.E moments. Best place to experiment. We were amazed by the interior design, the warm welcome and the healthy & finest food while hearing the sweetest voice from a lady singer.
We had a wide selection of appetizers (unlimited – one of my fav was the grilled calamari … oh wow!) and had the choice to taste and share all the main courses. The lamb is incredibly well cooked. Well done to the chefs!! Desserts are just sweet enough to appreciate the whole brunch.
Great are its hosts. Thanks to Halil for the dedicated attention for the surprising dessert and Bridj for its assistance during brunchtime.
Intersect is a relatively new place in DIFC. I only came here for a coffee in a meeting so this review is not based on the wider fine dining menu that is available, which I hear is very good.
Intersect is very modern as you’d expect in this financial district. It’s very relaxing, there are sofas and other tables available for diners. We sat in one of the lower more comfortable sofa and table areas upstairs.
I was told by the people who arrange for the meeting that this is probably the best coffee in DIFC. I do not know if it is the best coffee in D I FC (because I do not come to D I FC that much) but there is definitely an extensive coffee menu available. I opted for their cold brew which arrives as a short glass of coffee. It was strong, nonetheless quite smooth, and enjoyable. If you like a strong coffee or strong cold brew then this will give you what you want.
I will definitely come back here again for their wider menu and will update this review in due course.
I should be apologetic for rating late about the experience had at the place... amazing food limited menu but is enough for u to make a happy foody... would like to thanks again for the test drive Lexus and amazing staff
Had brunch at Intersect today and i tell you, this is one of the best brunch experience i had so far. The place alone wowed me. The flooring were different Lexus Car Parts, Toilet has touch doors, walls were designed with miniature cars. Cosy ambiance and comfortable seating with interactive preparation Bar kitchen and relaxing acoustic singer on the background. Professional And accomodating Staff.
For the food:
There was a wide variety of starters and we were able to try all on the menu. To my surprise we finished all of it without feeling heavy. It was light, healty and delicious.
For the Mains we had
Salmon Teriyaki - sweet and tangy taste that comes with aromatic Jasmine rice.
Beef Flank - flavorful Medium rare cooked steak with mushroom.
Desserts were light and not too sweet which is pretty much suitable for my tastebuds.
Overall experience 5/5
A unique space to experience a blend of art, fashion and culinary journey. Attentive and knowledgeable staff. Food quality was amazing, must try Kale&Avocado salad and Portuguese Octopus.
Came today for a late lunch. The decor and ambience is really good. Great place to relax with good music and enjoy wholesome food. I tried the set lunch. Although not many choices but what is offered is great. The portioning is perfect for one person. Would definitely love to visit for brunch. It’s worth a visit just to see the interiors.

This was one of those experiences where it ended in adverse to how it started.
I perhaps visited earlier than their busy hour during lunch, hence no hostess present, menu took about 10 mins to reach, instead a table was being cleaned next to me which was placed so close, that the cleaning linen was almost going to wipe me out too..lol!
Anyhow from when we were finally presented a hostess, it took off quite well, with lunch served without too long a wait, but that's not what made me swing my impression, but the taste votes that went all out in credit of the recipes served. Yum!!
I would have never found out that Lexus had a place that made food too..... until I find Intersect by Lexus at DIFC. This is not any DIFC place, it's actually very laid back & chilled place with very interesting decor. ... don’t forget to check out their conference room & even Loo’s at the ground floor.
They have a wide selection of mains & appetizers. The staff was really helpful & friendly...& served me each & everything on my table & also made sure that how much I like the food.
I and 3 friends went to dinner to celebrate a friends birthday, the steak and the salmon were nicely done, the tea was great. Brij took our order he was very helpful and was careful with our requests, we enjoyed dinner that night, the hostess was very informative too
Went here some time back and the experience was great with delightfully done decor, excellent service and great food. Would love to visit again and refresh the experience.
I’m new to Zomato Gold and decided to visit Intersect because of good reviews. The staff where all very helpful and showed us all options we had with our membership, they’re a lot! A new hotspot for us..breakfast, lunch and dinner is served. Try their coffee and teas..organic and in unique way presented. Till soon..
Who knew Lexus had a place that made food? I didn't!!
Found another gem on instagram.
This is not your typical DIFC place, it's actually very laid back and chilled.
Came here for the Friday brunch (it's à la carte), which is always a nice thing. I hate getting up and having to wait in line to get to my food.
They have a wide selection of mains and appetizers. My friend who came with me is a vegan, and I have to say she was very well accommodated. They were super helpful with everything she was concerned about.
My husband and I eat almost everything, so I did try a bit of everything.
I loved the wonderful lady singing during brunch, she sings new songs with slower rythm, so much fun and she sounded lovely.

A very aesthetically pleasing venue with a lot of attention paid to detail. The Friday brunch is great and reasonably priced. Don't expect a typical brunch binge. It's a set menu that leans on the healthier-than-usual options which are nonetheless great. The kale and avocado tahini salad is fantastic. It's a small (cosy) venue so book ahead. Live music too. Highly recommended.
“More than just a restaurant”
The luxury space Intersect has been tastefully created by the brand Lexus. The sophisticated interiors, walls adorned with carefully curated books, the glass floor through which you can see automobile parts and most importantly the artisanal menu crafted with the finest ingredients, all reflect the ethos of Lexus as a brand.
Our dining experience here was fantastic to say the least; thanks to Natalia who was a brilliant host. The food menu is not an exhaustive one, works for me because the dishes will be crafted exclusively. But the drink menu sports a huge selection, which works even better. Without confusion, I ordered a portion of medium-rare Lamb Rack and the husband went for the medium-well rib eye steak. We also got some red wine and beer to begin with. The food when it arrived was a delight to the eyes, so beautifully plated! And my lamb rack was amazing, juicy and perfectly done while the husband was raving about his rib eye saying it was the best he has had till date. We ended the dinner on a sweet note and got ourselves a portion of pistachio and apricot tart with almond ice cream. If you do not like too sweet desserts this is the one for you, the warm tart with its nutty goodness and the ice cream combination is a treat to your taste buds. I highly recommend this place for special occasion or casual and while you are here, don’t forget to go the bathroom 😋 because it’s so creative and classy.
Intersect By Lexus was a unique concept from start to finish. The venue design was articulate and was a refined place to enjoy a meal and drink. We visited for the Friday brunch with our toddler. The menu was simple and flavoursome. My personal favourites were the starters - chicken and the Intersect Gyoza. Taste wise would rate an overall 3 but would give it a 5 for freshness and quality of ingredients. The manager and staff were friendly and would also say that the singer had a lovely voice and sang beautifully . Overall pleasant experience.
Been here twice and both times I tried fish: seabass and sole fish. The seabass was the best I ever had!
The food overall is full of taste and fresh.
Basement level is very cozy and nice to have a few drinks.
Great service everytime.
Overall quality exceeds most known restaurants in DIFC. It matches the Lexus quality.
Will come back for sure!
Amazing place. Beautiful setting and very good food. Let the pictures speak... The restroom though lol... Space-age tech which you need to see.
The duck was cooked really well . You should also try their kale salad it's really nice. And to top it all of we had an amazing herbal tea. also the customer service was really nice they let us know their best selling deserts and food and what was new on the menu.
The place is definitely a 5, amazing in every aspect. The food is great, the atmosphere is cozy and relaxing, staff is friendly and always smiling.
Went for the friday brunch and there was live piano music which creates a pleasant ambiance.
Perfect place for a casual lovely afternoon.
Most people know “Lexus” as a Japanese luxury motor corp brand. Lexus has recently started the concept of luxury dining with a branch in Japan, Dubai and is soon establishing one in the United States. Intersect by Lexus is one such unique concept, which involves experiencing dining in the best possible comfort. One of the leading chefs from Japan caters to the needs of the customers. The interiors of the eatery are very meticulous and have incorporated details of the restaurant to match its luxurious range of cars. For instance, the leather used in their couches are the same leather which is used to make the seats of the only sports car of Lexus viz. LFA model.
Must Try: Kale & Avocado Salad.
It is another world when you enter Intersect by Lexus. The concept of space is a lot to take in at first but once you settle in, you can't help but be in awe. The purpose of Intersect by Lexus is not only for fine dining, it is also a meeting point for conceptualization.
It consists of two floors, the ground floor is the restaurant/ lounge area which also holds a lovely book collection surrounding the dining area. The basement is creative and artistic, if you look carefully at the floor, you will notice it is made of different car parts.
Once we settled down, we decided to start off with their ever-popular Kale and Avocado Salad. It was light, crunchy and a tasty bowl of tossed up kale, avocado and sunflower seeds. For the main course, we decided to try the French Picalou Chicken and the Australian Lamb Rack. Both the dishes were well marinated and the lamb was cooked as per our request.
The staff was friendly and attentive and the presentation of the dishes was good. It is a great place to have business lunches or dinners as it is a quiet and peaceful place.
Overall a nice place to visit.
Yes, and this place keep going as good. wonderful ambiance, nice place to start your day if you had a special early meeting and the food is great, not to mention the presentation is wonderful. i guess the fresh ingredients is their secret.

Had good time with my brother and friend . Employees are friendly with customers. I had good experience I guess people will like to try. And food was healthy
We were invited to the wednesday brunch at @intersectbylexusdubai and it turned out to be the best fine dining experiences I've had so far. The whole restaurant is crafted on the Lexus and it has the coolest interiors so if you're a car buff you need to head here right away.
The menu range is so extensive and the food is one better than the other. You're going to go home extremely satisfied and happy. They also have alcohol options in their brunch so do check it out.
Every dish served to us was pure perfection and tasted simply exotic. They used such unique combinations such as Kale and avocado but that salad is making me go back and have some more.
Their pumpkin seed soup, moghrabieh salad, intersect gyoza absolutely stood out. The mains of stuffed chicken breast and beef tenderloin had us drooling. And with a dessert platter of 5 desserts you're going to go home wanting more. Loved the cheese platter and palate cleanser as well. All in a all a phenomenal experience. Thank you Intersect for having us.
Thee absolute best experience ever,great ambiance. Wed brunch dinner was amazing. Keep up the amazing work Mura and Natalia. Thank you Thank you
The first impression everyone gets of this place is how the Japanese car maker has brought small details from a car to the restaurant. A very classy place to enjoy the evening with your date or your family. The design and ambience of the restaurant is blissful. I loved how they took care of the designs of couches, the tables etc.
Coming to the food, every dish from the starter to the dessert was so tasty. The cauliflower soup, avocado salad, beet risotto and vanilla cheesecake are one of the most amazing dishes i have ever tasted. Their wine selections are too good as well. A lot of people ignore this place because of the cost, but it is totally worth every penny. Would love to visit intersect again.
Excellent food and service. The interior looks really nice. I had lamb steak which was so delicious - best lamb steak I tasted so far. Their cheesecake was perfect as well. I'll definitely come back.
I came to Intersect by Lexus for a Zomato Gold event last week. We entered and went down the stairs and the interior was just amazing. The floor below us were glass squares and below those squares were parts of a Lexus car along with a huge screen and the bar.
We were taken up to the dining area where we were given a set menu. We started off with the cauliflower soup. This soup was really light and tasty and the piece of cauliflower in the soup was a good option along with the thin bread as well. Then we had the Kale, Sunflower Seed and Avocado Salad. Since I love salads, this was something I happily dug into. The combination of Kale and Avocado really went well with each other and that little crispy layer in between was a good choice. For the main course, I had the Beet and Barley Risotto. It is quite an unusual combination but a tasty one that's for sure. The beet gave it a rich dark red colour and the pieces of beet were a good addition to it. The last course which is the dessert was the Vanilla Cheesecake. One of the best cheesecakes I've had. It was light and some nuts on top of the cheesecake was a good option. The base of the cheesecake was also really nice. We were provided with some good wine as well along with the amazing food. Overall, the experience at Intersect by Lexus was one to remember due to the amazing ambiance, food and service provided to us. This restaurant is an amazing fine dining experience located in the same building as Zuma and Cipriani. A must try that's for sure.
Absolutely WoW to the ambiance.
I have not seen anything like this. So unique and keeps u astonished.
The decor is award winning and something special about it. It is located at the main financial hub in Dxb.
Coming to food
The service is great. Food is freshly prepared in the best raw and organic forms.
- Cauliflower soup - YUM
- Kale and Avocado Salad - Delicious.. Something unique ive ever tried. The avocado flavor does magic to this one. Kale -fresh like were just picked from the farms!
- The lamb dish served with some veggies- stunning.. and quite delicious. The meat super tender and full of flavor. The appearance talks a lot on how much perfection it brings to the dish. I am not a red meat lover and I finished this in no time. Slurrp!
- Cheese cake was the best thing that I tried on the list. So So delicious. Its very rare to get the right amount of sweetness in the dessert .. this this completely does justice.
The wines were unique and tasted quite good.
Will return soon to try more.
Interior decoration is very interesting and it gives us image of cutting edge technology. Though I a little doubt if this is truly an image fitted to Lexus or not. Still, the food here is really delicious and exquisitely well made in details. And business lunch is fairly reasonable and is good choice for bite among work.
A beautiful fine dining experience with team Lexus with Wine pairing was the perfect day to end my birthday! All Zomato gold invites assembled at one area with amazing floor work of Lexus and were served light cocktails.
We were then escorted to the dining area where the tables were beautifully arranged with Wine glasses. The operations manager took us through the art, culture and interiors of the restaurant in detail. Every detail had some connection with Lexus, it's culture or Dubai. It was a very informative introduction. The menu for the night was on every table and we had someone to brief us on every course and it's wine pairing. We were seated with other Zomato gold subscribers or reviewers. They served a bread basket with olive oil to begin with. Our first course was roasted cauliflower soup with almonds milk croutons. I can vouch safely you don't need to like cauliflower to enjoy this soup. It was a surprise to the palette and thoroughly enjoyed it. The second course was one of their specials kale & avocado salad topped with dehydrated linseed wafer and sunflower seeds. I'm not sure to order it otherwise but this one too was a pleasant surprise. The soup & salad were paired with Loimer an Australian wine (fruity & herbs) . The third course was the mains where there a choice between barley risotto or the Australian lamb shack. I got the chance the try both :) the lamb was perfectly cooked served with roasted vegetables on the side. The beet risotto was served with dollops or creme fresh and beetroot. It was cooked to perfection and melted with every bite. The mains were paired with a Palacios Spanish red wine (local grapes & spices) Last course was a vanilla cheese cake with fresh ice cream, praline pecans and cut fruits. I don't enjoy cheese cake at all but to my surprise I finished my dessert. The praline pecans were perfectly cutting through the saltiness of the cheesecake. The dessert was paired with a Chilean wine (good sugar & acid balance) The evening ended by a demonstration of how to extract the raw flavor of coffee with some equipments. We were also served the organic coffee by RAW.
It was a memorable dining experience. Thank you team Zomato & Intersect by Lexus for having us for dinner.
By the name Intersect by Lexus, it sounds like a place meant exclusively for cars but my perception changed after visiting this place. It turned out to be a beautiful and very innovative restaurant located in DIFC.
I visited the place with my friend on Monday through an event organized by Zomato Gold and I must say, was very much impressed with the interiors and the concept with books around. The flooring and décor in word “WOW”.
The staff was very friendly and very helpful and Special thanks to Mr Halil for the hospitality provided.
The quality of food was really good and the collection of wine was just outstanding but the bonus was the dessert, cheesecake was just perfect and like the phrase say “You can never say no to Desserts. And last but not the least the coffee which is a must try.
Overall I really liked the place and will definitely recommend people to visit and experience it.
I went there on Friday for a brunch. The atmosphere and the decor of this place is really cool. Loved the food especially the dessert. The staff were so friendly. Special thanks to Natalie for the great experience.
ok the interior was very unique (especially downstairs) so 5/5 for ambiance. staff were friendly but there were definitely something not right with the communication between them because they brought someone else's food on our table , so 1.5/service
food on the other hand was good but it could be better, 3.5 for food , and food presentation was nice so 4.5/5 for that.

First time we visit this restaurant, first we were not impressed, the place looked small. Then we were greeted by Khalil, very professional, very knowledge and knows how to sell. He explained the menu, which was a buffet for Wednesday night. Small portions of different dishes. Food was great, rich in taste and flavor, service was excellent. I think they can work better on the food presentation. Price was reasonable, for AED295, full course with alcohol. Definitely, I would recommend this place.
Yesterday me and the whole team of our company went in this SoFab! brunch expirience, our expirience are so awesome and everything are so perfect from the place itself, the very relaxing ambience- and OMG the live accoustic was sooo great 😍, @AWESOME FOOD!!, the staffs are nice, warm and professional - special mention to NATALIA! you rock gurl 😘😘.. And so do the rest of them. I encourage everyone to come and have a taste of their fantastic food and fabulous service, it was an expirience of a lifetime for me and it will be for you. THANK YOU SO MUCH INTERSECT BY LEXUS. It was so wonderful and will be seeing you guys again! 😄😄😄❤❤❤
Perfect a la carte Friday brunch!
We visited Intersect for brunch on a Friday. The brunch is very laid-back and relaxing with an amazing live-band duo playing beautiful music.
The service was great and all our dishes were explained when served with a smile.
There are a lot of small hot and cold dishes, the quality if the food was top notch and the selection great. You can order as many starters and deserts as you can eat and choose also one main dish. There are many vegetarian options as well.
We decided not to go for the alcoholic package but to order our drinks a la carte.
The selection of wines and champagne is really good and prices for Dubai very reasonable.
We found it absolutely impressive that both wine and champagne was served in a spotless, perfectly polished Riedel glass - something rarely happening in Dubai at all - giving you the ultimate dining experience combined with the great ambiance, excellent food and friendly service!
The next day we even received a call from the manager asking if we enjoyed our time and if all was good!
This was a perfect, flawless experience in every way which is rare to find in Dubai - we will be back very soon!!
I wasn't particularly keen on going here but my brother wanted to go so I gave in and went and was very pleasantly surprised.
I liked the very fresh ingredients and the decor with all the books.
I thought the service was good as well. I would go back
It's not often that one would be keen on the notion of dining at an obviously promotional vehicle of a car company (pun intended) but Intersect by Lexus is not your average pop up venue or show room but rather a uniquely executed and refined dining concept that just happens to have reference to the brand and alas a car in the basement.
Went to Intersect for a couple of times lately and I'm enjoying their approach and the pure cuisine.As coffee lover also found my place, keep up the good work guys!

After a very hectic week, me and my colleagues decided to dine in a fancy restaurant of DIFC. Luckily, we have chosen the right one - Intersect by Lexus. We all have great experiences there...the place is very cozy, the food has lots of variants from salads, starters, main dish and desserts with all its unique, perfect taste, artistically presented and prepared freshly by friendly chefs. Not to mention that they also have an amazing services that every guest may feel that he/she is special. Thank you Akos for your full attention and providing us all our needs/requests, you're such a great host!
On top of this, we were entertained as well with a great singer and a very talented saxophonist.
Definitely, I will bring my family and other friends here as well!
Kudos to Intersect by Lexus Dubai Team!
Love this place for its decor - and even more for their coffee !
Probably serving the. Eat flat white in town a lot ugh their speciality coffee is another one that they make in a really fancy mini factory press / diffuser .
Food is good too but menu is really minimal
Quite an interesting concept in DIFC
Worth a stop if you are in the area and are looking for an alternative, high class cafe for a quick chat with a friend or a business meeting
Every thing was perfect, from A to Z
Just enjoyed the Australian Lamp Rank, the lovely Seabas smoky fish, And the organic Avocado Salad.
😍😍
Went for a business lunch on Wednesday, the price if I'm not wrong is like 95aed for 2 course menu.
The selections is quite interesting but i let the Chef chose for me.
I had raw salmon with fresh veggies, it was good and the size enough.
As a main course i had the sea bass served on top of a banana leaf and with a lot of veggies on top, is like a light asian style. Was served with sticky rice with sesame seeds and a nice mix sauce.
The chef gave me a try of the spanish gazpacho which was good (but too much garlic for my palate).
As a dessert i had the cheese cake, was light and enough for not feeling too full. I really liked the pear with a touch of ginger on it.
The venue is really beautiful and they have speciality coffee, from nice espresso, cappuccino to cold brew and Syphone coffee, all from RAW brand.
The service was wonderful, and the chefs really good too, you can see them in action!
Nice place for a stylish business lunch or a work spot.
Intersect has a small place in my heart. When I first started converting my passion of eating good food around the world into actual writing, I was invited to an event that was attended by some of the UAE’s blogging elite. It is where I met Zoe Bowker (tablenumber7.com) who further down the line introduced me to “A to Za’atar” where over brunch at Ruya, they bullied me into segueing from the limitations of magazine writing to writing my own blog – and here we are today.
Business lunch,
Food overall very good, well seasoned. Only let down was a heirloom tomato salad that was a bit bland and lacked something extra. Mains of salmon and duck breast cooked well with good simple flavours. Desserts very nice, recommend the apricot tart which was divine. Service very warm and generous! Will be back soon
Fantastic service, good food, & the drinks are fab. Cosy little place, went here for a comedy night. The prices are great too. The Lexus view downstairs surely doesn't hurt the eye. A definite place to visit while in Dubai, the ambience is lovely.
Fabulous setting with a quirky ambience, including a concept Lexus automobile in the lower level. Staff are courteous and seem genuinely interested in making sure you have a good meal.
We went for the Wednesday evening brunch. There is a self-help salad bar, and then a series of starters was brought to the table, in just the right tasting portions. I think the beef gyoza stood out.
You can ask for repeats.
Then we had a choice of mains and desserts (no repeats on the mains) The food was excellent and the portions just right.
All in all a wonderful evening, and we will definitely go back
.
A very nice place for weekend brunch. The concept is a bit different as all the dishes are served to your table apart from the salads. We had the entertainer coupon which has 2 for 1 and it is total value for money. The restaurant can be easily located in DIFC.
Service – The service is top notch. The lady who was serving us was very nice and courteous and had a good knowledge of all the items on the menu. There was live music as well.
Ambience – it’s not your usual restaurant. Expect something different. There are books all around you. So if you are alone or have boring company; its books to your rescue.
Food – I would like to commend the chef who has come up with the menu as it’s very diverse and all the dishes are full of flavor. There wasn’t a single dish which disappointed us.
Among the salad, starter, mains and dessert, the main attraction would be the starters. There is a lot of variety and you can keep on repeating them. The best of all was the grilled chicken with red cabbage and peanut dressing. The air dried beef with grilled eggplant and tomatoes was also delicious.
For the mains we went with Mushroom and Barley Risotto with Sour cream and Lamb chops with Roasted Potatoes and Ratatouille puree. Again both the dishes were cooked to perfection.
After such a hearty meal one would be expecting amazing desserts. But this is where it gets a bit disappointing. The desserts are nice and not too heavy but somewhere in the back of your mind you are left wanting for more.
Overall – we had a great time as the place wasn’t crowded and the food and service was excellent. A must visit!!!
Really enjoyed coffee and dessert here. The service is absolutely excellent, and the ambience of the space is amazing. Will return for a meal!
So if you thought Lexus is known only for its cars then time to think again!
Came here for a Friday brunch and not only was I overwhelmed by their meals but also with their decor. The lower floor is bar area with the transparent flooring giving you a glimpse into the motor parts. This I feel is a very unique decor concept.
Upper floor is for dining and drinks. Their brunch menu is simple and subtle. Each of their dishes have a unique flavor. Tried Lebanese pasta, salad with beetroot carpaccio, fruit smoothie, panacotta, cheesecake and French vanilla with nuts. All of these were super delicious but of course I have to biased towards the dessert. Vanilla with nuts stole the show for me.
Pasta in the mains was next.
This restaurant gives a very homely and welcoming vibes. They also have some books on varied topics for those lazy Friday brunch days.
This one definitely would be a personal recommendation from my side. Will definitely visit it again!
I visited Intersect by Lexus for a Friday brunch with my family and it was a great experience from the beginning to the end.
- Food was amazing, we liked all the dishes, very fresh and tasty with a special style.
- Atmosphere was nice, not very crowded (although the place was full, but because of the size of the place you feel comfortable) with live music just at the right level (very friendly band members, they've accepted several requests from my 4 year old Son 😄)
- Staff were very friendly and helpful, and they provided a great service.
- the decoration was remarkable, my son liked the small cars on the wall and car parts at the lower floor.
Actually, it was one of my best experiences for brunch in Dubai, I highly recommend to try and visit this place.
Delicious food, very nice atmosphere and interior
Staff are very friendly and helpful. They tell you the contents of each dish.
They surprised my wife with an amazing mix berries cake. It was so yummy.
A nice voice from the live band, not too loud which is perfect.
Pros:
GREAT AMBIANCE
Live band (not so loud, mellow types)
Friendly staff
Great decor, especially the lounge downstairs!
Lots of variety in terms of food (for brunch)
Entertainer voucher is valid for brunch
Cons
Food was average
Looking for a nice place to have coffee and dessert? Go for intersect by lexus but if you want to have food, then it may not be the place to be. Depends on what you like though, its far from what desi people generally like to eat. But overall great ambiance and service!
Very cool place to visit , nice food, nice atmosphere. Specially the welcome smiles of the lady Mariia.
It's a quick place to spend for sometime in the evening. We went their with 8 people. Very nice place to be.
