A quiet place in Lakes area .. basically a British joint with some speciality of their food, but I always enjoy going there.. be it there coffee to cool drinks, it’s always been a pleasure to spend time there. It’s my most fav place to go with friends and have small get together. Staff hardly bothers you much once you order and we end up spending good time there. Parking is easily available most of the times., weekends can be crowded so prefer weekday mornings with mommy friends as kids are welcome there.

Located in nice and cozy area, with big outdoor sitting, has nice children playground and what actually brought us here - dog friendly.
We ordered some fish and chips, wait was super long, above an hour, but food was nice and portion is huge, good to share for 2 people. Staff is friendly and helpful, atmosphere overall was nice. Would definitely come back if we have doggy around.

I love coming to this place for a traditional roast dinner, just like we would have at home on a Sunday. Great food, great ambiance and the service is exceptional, namely Krishna! Thank you, we’ll be back!

Reform social is one of a kind. The relaxed cosy ambience with the perfect location makes it a great hangout spot for all sorts of occasions. The service is also fantastic. The good food is an added bonus. We tried Cumberland sausages with onion gravy, herb and sausage roll and five fish finger buttie. The fish fingers were a little bland but except that every thing else was good and quality top notch. The prices are a bit steep.

Reform social and grill is located at the beverly hills of Dubai -Emirates hills.It looks,feels,sounds and tastes like a true british pub.This place is very full and staff had to work hard to keep up.

As pre starters,they served us some fresh breads and butter which we thoroughly enjoyed.We tried few dishes from the menu like grilled squid salad,reform burger,ribeye steak,Chicken Kiev etc. along with few non alocoholic mocktails.We also tried their famous sticky toffee pudding for dessert.Food was good and Portions are massive.Eventhough it was extremely crowded, service was excellent.Definitely a good option ,if you are in a mood to visit a british pub.We really liked their service.This place is kids friendly too!

Reform is reminiscent of your English pubs summer garden. Located within the lakes residential area it is very popular during the cooler Dubai winter months and very busy on the weekends.
Despite the pub English summer garden feel, the Inside decor is distinctly closer to a French bistro or brasserie field with its darker wooden tables, darker wooden booths and chairs.
There are two outside areas: firstly one that is on a tiled Veranda which has its own bar; very convenient during the busier periods. There is also a grassy area that doubles as a Childs play area. It can also be rented out for corporate entertainment events. Despite that, the focus and feel here tilts towards being a family venue with a focus on family entertainment.
The service here can be quite patchy because of how busy it can be.
The food is very much English pub food: salads, Scotch eggs, terrines, fish and chips, burgers, roasted dishes on Sundays et cetera. Notably there are two distinguishing features about reform: firstly, it is licensed and-wait for it-it serves pork. There are a number of pork dishes on the menu including the terrines, ham hocks and certain burgers.
The food here is to a good standard. Let’s be honest, it is not attempting to forge any new parts or create any new culinary trends. It’s very much play is that safe line of homely, recognisable, uncomplicated and at times reminiscent of comfort food. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! Not all menus need to be expeditions into gastronomy.
Overall reform is a fairly unique proposition within Dubai.
If you live in the Emirates Hills and Lakes area, you are very lucky to have this on your doorstep. Having been here a few times, I have always had a good time with friends as it is definitely a casual get-together touch within a well healed residential area.
My one feedback for this venue would be that they need to double the staff and get the bar more organised during their very peak periods especially Thursday nights and weekends. I have been here during the week multiple times and they seem almost disproportionately well staffed given how quiet it can be.

A lovely place with a happy vibe. We reached after 11.30 so couldn't try their brunch menu at first but the staff was very accommodative and we enjoyed their brunch menu too.

Outside, the pool and lake view adds on to the ambience ensuring you have a perfect weekend brunch!

Located against the picturesque backdrop of Emirates Hills, Reform Social and Grill has something to offer for customers of varied tastes and preferences. - both in terms of food and dining experience. The interiors remind you of a quintessential pub in a raunch , and if you prefer dining outdoors ( preferably during winters) then you have the luxury of enjoying the scenic beauty of Emirates Hills. Highly recommend the English Breakfast here, and also try some of the British classics. They have a great collection of wine and spirits and yes, if you have a sweet spot for deserts - you ain’t gonna miss the sticky chocolate toffee served with generous dollops of caramel and cream.

Great neighborhood bar with good food. Their breakfast is great. I like the fact they offer a good variety of good breakfast options. The mains for dinner are also good and they do serve pork for those who eat it. Overall a great quick place for people who love in the area.

Another firm favourite for me and my friends.

We love the Sunday roast as it’s great value for money and extremely tasty.

The place itself looks traditional with lots of dark wood. I prefer to sit outside but it’s been so hot lately.

Another menu favourite is the chicken in a basket and fish finger sandwich ! Amazing

Went here for the screening of the world cup final. The atmosphere was great.
Despite all the rush and chaos, the service was really good and impressive.
The food tastes just like what you'd expect at an English bar, spot on.

We have been visiting this restaurant since we moved here from UK 5 years ago. The ambiance is always very welcoming, huge outdoor area, which is lovely in the ''winter'', especially if you have little ones, who love to run around the playground. So you can easily watch them from your table in the garden area, sipping on your drink. Our favorite dishes include the Ploughmans sharing platter, fish and chips, burger and the few dishes on the BBQ menu. Kids meals are a good size and tasty. Portions are well presented, and meet the expectations you would have from a gourmet pub. Service staff sometimes are stretched, the restaurant can be very busy at times, so maybe they could improve on that.

We enjoyed an English 🇬🇧 breakfast that hit the spot with bacon (real! 😋) sausage and egg bap, iced coffee out on the terrace in the morning ☀️ where we found a friendly team and the service was good with no complaints whatsoever. 👍We've heard about Friday brunch and recommend Reform food and atmosphere; a really lovely venue, especially if you're into British food! 👨‍🍳😋👏👩🏻‍💻

Reform has such a lovely vibe! We had a wonderful evening sitting outside on the terrace, the staff was friendly and the service was good. We specifically went out looking for good fish and chips - and I can definitely recommend this dish at Reform! It was so delicious, I ate everything on my plate - yum!

It's a great place to go with a couple of friends and relax and eat good British food. Specially in this weather it's perfect to sit outside but the food I thought was a little bit bland. The serving size is quite good. We had classic fish and chips and chicken roast.

I do like this place a lot, its in a great location and looks cosy. 

Was a tad taken back the other day when I came for breakfast (for the first time - I usually come for roast); I have ordered Eggs Benedict; it looked so plain, so boring, tasted about right but I must say I did not feel good value for money on this dish. My coffee was served lightly cold too... BUT, service was good and I had a good time anyway. I will come back again for breakfast and try again... no lost love here.

This is a really nice place. It is on the expensive side for sure. Very good food but AED 80-110 for a burger is steep no matter what currency you earn. We have been here in a few occasions during different times of the year and different times of the day. We enjoy each and every time. I must say though the best section of the grill is 'the orchard' in the outside garden area, but they close it during the day and that's the best part. We were there today with a 5 and 7 month old and couldn't sit in the smoking area due to, well smoke but they didn't allow us to take them inside the restaurant in the min smoking section and let them lie on blankets. And would allow us to go use the garden area where they could lay on the grass either. So it took about 10 minutes of reasoning with 3 different people including the floor manager to allow us inside where there weren't any smoke. If it's a family friendly grill then they need to cater for more families. Also I heard at least 5 people ask about the outside orchard area in the time I was there. It's winter in Dubai, people want to sit outside, make adjustments and money will flow in. Weird reasoning. The staff are very friendly but the service is very bad, like really bad.

The pie was great! Could eat one everyday.

Wife had the salmon salad and said it was good also.

Weather is great to sit outside for lunch but make a reservation as it gets busy on the weekend. Baby with a pram was easy to get around and seat us also.

We will be back.

Location is great - situated in the middle of the lakes, with lovely garden areas (English-style beer garden) with the lake at the bottom, children's play area and indoor/outdoor seating.

The menu offering is decent, and includes a range of traditional pub favourites such as prawn cocktail, beer battered fish and chips and a good pork selection. The Reform Burger is very popular, good value and tastes great.

It's not cheap, and is easy to spend AED500+ on lunch with the family. The crowd is exclusively expat, and a nice mix of both Lakes and Dubai residents.

The service is a bit hit-and-miss, depending on the time of day/number of tables. The staff are nice enough, however not particularity attentive when it gets busy, and it's easy to get the feeling you're being a nuisance when asking for something.

We look forward to visiting reform again soon and would happily recommend for couples with/without children not on a budget.

I was craving the taste of pork and ordered the belly pork from Reform but unfortunately was not too appealing and satisfying for me.

Would definitely go for something else next time.

Finally made it to this British pub. We sat outside in the terrace where they served a la carte menu. We had the fish and chips which i have to say was one of the best i have had in Dubai, the batter was extremely crispy and the fish was super fresh. We also tried the roast chicken salad which was also scrumptious. Will definitely go back to try the rest of the menu. I Highly recommend it.

I’ve been here a few times mostly for their roast dinner as it hits the spot when you’re a traditional British roast dinner. I most opt for the chicken or beef option and both are great and served with all the trimmings.

My score would have been higher but they made us wait an extortionate amount of time for dessert. It was disappointing as not all of us were having dessert and Feedback from those with a sweet tooth was that it wasn’t worth the wait anyway.

There’s free parking & I would be back for roast dinner for sure.

We went on a Thursday night and obviously experienced the peak of crowdedness and noise levels however the service was still quite good and so is the food.. the ambience is nice but as a friend pointed out, could benefit from some live entertainment. The board games available could have served as good entertainment too👍🏼

Met some friends here for drinks. Really liked the place, has a very nice vibe, specially the outdoors in the good weather... They have some nice collection of beers and decent food... It's more used by people going to the gym, tennis or for a swim right next to it, but a good place to hang around with friends in the evening... 
The service was a bit slow n prices high...

Stopped for breakfast. Went with the Full English Breakfast, which was pricy but enough for two people to eat. It was nothing special though, just average. Ambiance and decor is lovely. Accessible parking. Service was friendly enough. I've heard lunch is good, so give it another whirl.

Had a chilled out afternoon here sipping on some nice stout brewed beer. It was well balanced and tasted great.
Had the beef burger, which came with potato wedges. The portion was a bit small at first glance, but I was stuffed by the time I finished my meal.
Nice laid back place top just chill with friends over a few beers. Not somewhere I would go if I was looking for a proper meal, but definitely of I wanted to just relax and kick back.

Friday luckily proved to be a relaxed one as there wasn't much crowd at the Lakes Social Reform and grill when we turned up so we got a table quickly but that was the only quick thing there
We had to order the beverages 3 times until they turned up after awhile
A kettle of tea and a cappuccino took 25 mins to turn up after having complained
Food is good and the vibe is lovely with family and kids around however if they work on bettering their service I think the place will be perfect!
No complaints on the food
Vibe and atmosphere was great
Service very slow

For a family gathering - It was Great

The service, ambience & location were are amazing especially with less effort on fancy tables or decors.

We tried several dishes and everyone complimented their food. The kids had a blast with an outside playing zone and green landscape for kids to have a blast and you enjoy the food

Fish & chips was one the best i have tasted ever and would definitely order it again. Good taste burgers, steaks and crab salad along with a fair price makes this place a great place for brunch & lunch
