One of my favorite places to go to whenever I am in Downtown especially because I love their cold Raheb Salad - as an Indian - eggplant doesn’t excite me but this one does especially when combined with hot grilled chicken and khuboos.
Not a fan of the Grilled Halloum - the last time I ordered - it was a bit too chewy and feel dry while swallowing, couldn’t do it without some mint lemon juice.
Great place for a quiet date and even during summer they have fans and coolers, if you wish to sit outside and enjoy the fountains.
Loved the ambiance. The staff was v warm and welcoming. The food tasted great
Definitely recommend. But need booking as the place is packed. Great food.
Goodevening we would like to make a reservation on the 10th of March arount 7 pm for 2 persons on the outside with a good view on the fountain. We have tried to call you several times but they tell me the number is not conectted. So I truly hope you accept my reservation. My brother in law is a big fan of your restaurant when he is on a business trip. So he recommended you place.
Have been here two times now for some gettogethers. Quaint place with good ambience thanks due to the design of Souq Al Bahar. Offers great view of the Burj Khalifa Lake and Burj Khalifa itself.
The outdoor seating serves shisha as well which I might try next time
Had a mint lemon soda which was fresh in flavor and rather refreshing. In terms of food, their grills are great especially their chicken shish tawook. The sujooks had a little bit of a tangy flavor which I am not a big fan of but the meat itself are great.
Their salads are decent with the fattoush being notable for its flavor. The rolled grape leaves are worth mentioning here as well.
I also liked their desserts which was just having the right sweetness and not over powering
Great mhallabié with a secret recipe!!!
The manager Bassam Fakher is very friendly.
Great view for the fountain on the balcony!
Visited this restaurant with friends. We ordered like set menu. The ambience was very nice. They have outdoor sitting with view of Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountains. You can enjoy the food with a view. The service was quick.
The food was nice and tasty. The breads were fresh and soft. Their desert very best.
Loved the overall food and experience. Definitely will visit again.
The food was good, with a homey taste. We liked almost everything, and was so happy with the hot bread they serve!
Service was good since it was crowded.
The food is absolutely amazing as well as the service. My favorite dish was kebbeh. Our server Rabih made our experience even better. Definitely will visit again
We were group of 10 people, booked a table.. they gave us nice corner. The staff is friendly, caring, service is fast. The food was delicious.. they also have nice shisha. We really enjoyed being there..
Lovely ambience, awesome location. We tried the chicken taouk, Moutabbal and Batata Kezbra. Delicious food. Moutabbal was one of the best I have had. Would have loved to sit outside facing the Burj, but we went at a very busy dinner time. Nice service, pleasant staff. Highly recommended for a nice occasion due to the location of the restaurant.
I’ve been there for a couple of times, we always say the place almost fully packed! The food looks and tastes very good, it brings back all the food memories from home, Lebanon. The outdoor seating with the fountain view is breathtaking. The staff is really friendly & welcoming. Must visit!

IG: eatgoseeEnviously positioned in front of the Dubai Fountains complete with a balcony that serves shisha and licensed, you can see the clear appeal of Abd Al Wahab. This is a rare and exceptional opportunity especially for tourists, travellers and entertained business people to come for entertainment while dipping into well-known regional plates such as kebbeh, sojok, fattoush and others. Abd Al Wahab is a jack of all trades.
It's best offering is as a place of entertainment. You MUST book in advance for a balcony table especially on weekends and weekday evenings. Turning up without a reservation will be met with an inside dining table which is a lacklustre experience - honestly, they need to modernize the inside decor as the dated ballroom feel is antiquated and out of keeping with some of the other more contemporary decor in other Souk Al Bahar restaurants.
On the food, it is good especially the spicy crisp Batata Hara and pillowy fresh warm flatbreads but it is by no means the best Levantine food I've had in Dubai or in the Downtown Area.
Would I come back? It entirely depends on whether you have a balcony seat or not. There are plenty of Levantine restaurants in Dubai and Downtown so the main distinguishing feature of this place is view. If you cannot secure this then you've lost the main attraction.

Although this place is overpriced compared to other lebanese restaurant, however,everything tastes so good! I come here often and i never faced any issue with the service or the food.
The place was jam packed on a Sunday night. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We even get a free desserts. We get to see Dubai fountain show as well as it is located on the 2nd floor facing Dubai Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall
I went to Pier7 and we booked Lebanese restaurant - Abd el Wahab. We were 12 people and in order to make it easier, we have decided to take fixed menu of 245 dirhams. We have been served numerous Lebanese mezze - all were very tasty - hummus, kibbeh, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh were amazing and whatever followed - shish taok, kofta and veal kebab were very tasty. This restaurant is also specialized in fish and seafood. Alcohol is available. I really recommend this place. It was the best place for Lebanese food!
Abd Eel Wahab in Down town Dubai is one of my favorite restaurants in Dubai. Went there several times with guests. Great ambiance, lovey food - but unfriendly staff. Every time I hope to see it getting improved, but I am disappointed. Please train them to behave nicely and approach guests with a smiling face :-). Treat guests as guests not as if the staff is doing some favour to the guests. If language barrier is a problem, please find a way to overcome it. It is a great place, but the service staff ruin all the charm. Thank you !
Have been there many times and will definitely visit again. The food is tasty, plates are generous. The staff are very supportive and professional. Recommended place.
Long story short: Amazing fountain view + decent Oriental food + shisha + alcohol.. Recommended when having visitors from out of town and when the weather is suitable for outdoor seating
Came here with some family that was visiting from our of town
They wanted good Arabic grills and fountain views, so what better place to bring them than Abd El Wahab
They have a lovely fountain view and a terrace upstairs
Licenced restaurant with great food
how do i reserve table outside looking at the fountains for dinner? thank you in advance. i look forward to visiting your restaurant for the first time.

If you are looking for authentic Lebanese food guys this place is for you
I went there with family and we ordered all there speciality and trust me guys food was so delicious
I missed taking pictures because I was so hungry that time but next time for sure
The tabbouleh was amazingly fresh and tantalizingly to the palate.
The hummus was one of the best I have had. The grilled chicken was a notch above ordinary. The Chicken Fatteh was really enjoyable and a pleasant surprise. The grilled Haloumi was simple and just the way it should be.
The service is alright. The Wait staff sometimes joke and appear a bit casual with the guests, but the service levels don’t drop and they are fairly quick and attentive.
A caveat .. I recommend booking a table a week in advance to get a table outside to enjoy possibly the best view of the Dubai Fountain and the Burj Khalifa. This is a popular place
Having praised Abd Al Wahab, I must admit that you can definitely find better Lebanese food that costs much less in Dubai.
But the overall package with the views and the yummy food makes this a place worth visiting again
Dinner with friends! Warm welcome with
great service! waiter was very
attentive. Kitchen perfect and very hearty. A
place to go for a strong moment around a
table!
Been here many times and is an excellent place to have business dinners. Love the food and the view. Preferred to sit outside although I'm not fan of smoke.
Absolutely love this place ! Gorgeous views and friendly staff ... the food served here is quite fresh. It’s a great place for fine dining Lebanese food. I can sit here for hours and watch beautiful fountain show having some nice juices and yummy food !
Great place for dinner especially in winter, the restaurant has great view of Dubai fountain
We have tried many items, the best of all are from the appetizers, chicken liver with pomegranate sauce, hummus with meat, arais and many more
Bustling place on a weekday evening with good food and the outdoor seating offers an amazing view of the fountain and the Burj Khalifa. The restaurant was crowded with people more like a market place but the view and the cool weather makes it relaxing.
Thank you!
Iyi bir Lubnan restorani. Balkonda oturmasi oldukca keyifli oluyor. Hava cok sicak olmadikca sorun yok. Nargile servisleride mevcut. Mezeler ve et gayet guzeldi.
Home sweet home...The table was filled with all authentic lebanese food and the taste just like the old days back in Beirut.Gathered with friends with a great dishes all fresh and exquisite..the perfect place if you are craving for tasty lebanese cuisine..Don't miss out the grills something real special...service beyond excellent and the staff all trained professionally..
Tapas are good. We ate kebab and tastes are good. Service is good as well. Price of place is quite expensive but this is typical Dubai as well. You can watch fountain and laser show from outside. Ambiance is OK.
This place is in souk al bahar, overlooking the Dubai Fountains and Burj Khalifa. View is simply gorgeous.
They serve one of the best Lebanese food that I have tasted. Hummus, tabouleh, Grilled Chicken, are some of the best things that they serve.
Staff is quite polite. They help you with everything.
As this place is crowded most of the evening, I would suggest you to book a table before hand to avoid disappointment.
Really awesome place at Souk al Bahar to enjoy some Lebanese cuisine with awesome sheesha and drinks.
A special mention for their sheesha which is really smooth. Also do try their Muhallabia (dessert) for the perfect ending!
One of my favorite restaurants in the area!!😍
Their appetizers are delicious I would recommend
Hummus Beiruti
Cheese Rolls
Lentil soup
Tabouleh
And ghazal banat for dessert
One of the best lebanese Food in town. The quality and taste are exceptional. Amazing view of the fountain. Make sure to book a table at the balcony
This place is one of our favorite arabic restaurants in Dubai. The food has always been good and has never disappointed us. The service is pretty good too except that the staff are not proactive, they just take your order.
One highlight is their locations. Its a nice place to take your guests who maybe visiting.
For lunch, we came across this restaurant at the souk al bahar. The food and flavouring was perfect, our favourite among the starters was definitely the batata harra. It had a warm zing to it and went down as a treat. They brought out amazing flavours in their dishes and we enjoyed all of them. The service was fast and efficient making our experience much more enjoyable and best of all we overlooked the stunning view of the burj and the dancing fountains.
Spot on for location & food. Those hot Arabian breads just melt in the mouth. Must visit if you want to enjoy the fountain & dining. Wondering if they still reserve seats for dinner bufet.
Brilliant place serving lebanese cuisine.we tried the shish tauk and the fish skewers. Both were delicious twnder and succulent. Service is friendly and the ambience is good.
Set menu
Very reasonable value set menu ( as we were in a group )
Has a close view of the fountain
Nice old fashion seating area , the resturant layout is huge .
Service was quick
An authentic Lebanese brand with an excellent location right in front of Dubai fountain and under the direct view of burj Khalifa. It is one of the best tourists destinations in Dubai.
Luckily they are licensed for Shisha which can be enjoyed outdoors as well as indoors during summer time, and they do serve alcohol too :-)
The food is traditionally pure Lebanese with great variety and great taste.
Whether you live in Dubai or you are a tourist, this place is a must try and enjoy the show.
Value for money is excellent for the location and service provided.
So it was a very nice view and the weather was amazing
We started with cold maza, Vine leaves and red keba
Hot Maza was Kobabah, sambosak, chicken fitta
The main dish was Abd Wahab mix grill where you have lovely mix of meat, chicken and seafood
The place is 5 star rated place and food is 3 to 4
The perfect Lebanese food inside the perfect 1 km in Dubai city, whenever you visit dubai pass and visit this place and you will never lose.
We had a quite authentic dinner here.
Sojok: The sausage was really delicious and huge in portion, the spices filled sausages were really flavourful
Hommos with meat: This is probably one of the best hummus with meat I have ever tried! The hummus was really dense in flavour while creamy in texture. And the meat was really high quality
Grill Halloum Fekhar: I am really not a huge fan of halloumi, but to be honest this one was quite ok
Tebleh: My friend really enjoyed this dish a lot, but I didn't like the texture and the quality of the raw meat
Mixed Grill Skewers: The mixed grill was alright. The skewers were good in general, but not impressive
Great food and Great Ambience. View of Burj Khalifa and Fountain gives unforgettable experience of fine dining at its best.
Recommended for family and friends.
One of the best Leb food in UAE. Location is excellent specially if you sit outside where you can enjoy the Dubai fountain shows as you eat and Burj Khalifa.
Staff are very friendly and nice.
Food is excellent.
Visited this place with 3 of my friends, place is always crowded this is why it is hard to find a good outdoor table. Food is amazing shisha as well...great money vale...
In love with this place! The view, the staff, the food, everything! First off, I would really like to appreciate the staff. Our experience was really comfortable because the staff was really friendly, they make you feel at home. The service was quick, the staff humorous and jolly, I cannot thank you enough for the great experience. Next, the view. I recommend that you book a table in advance and specify that you want to be seated outside. There’s no way you’re getting a place without reservation. The view is beyond brilliant. You can see the burj khalifa in all its glory, along with the light show and dancing fountains. And really up close! It was the best experience ever! Last, the food. Service was quick! The food was amazing. And it holds value for money! We ordered the hummus, fattoush, mixed grilled skewers and the sojuk! For dessert, we had knefe cheese. Everything was delicious! Shall be going back and taking more people! Must visit!
Although getting a table in the outdoor area is hard sometime, however the food is just amazing! One of the best Arabic / Lebanese cuisine restaurants with stunning views on Burj Khalifa and the fountain. I’m a big fan of places serving good Arak with good Arabic food :)
One of the best restaurants to bring your tourist friends as it is a great spot to enjoy the fountain show from. Unlike most other restaurants at Souk al Bahar, Abd el Wahab doesn’t break your bank. The food is authentic lebanese cuisine, the staff is super friendly even when the restaurant can be extremely busy.
For a nice view at Marina, visit their restaurant at Pier 7.
I visited Abdel Wahab a few days ago, and frankly was impressed with the service and the food. Although the main course was a bit late to arrive, however the waiter did inform us that they could be late because it was packed. That's why he suggested to order them immediately.
Overall, great service, although the staff could smile more often...
Food was very good, Abdel Wahab grills were great.
Courteous gesture from the manager to ask about our evening
Please keep it up...
Location and Ambiance wise this is a very good restaurant however the food is average. we ordered hummus and mixed platter, hummus tasted really bad and almost everthing in the mixed platter tasted good . There service was quick and the staff was well mannered. They offer shisha too.
Great location facing the Dubai fountain and delicious Lebanese food. We had the samboosik, fattoosh salad, batata harra (baked baby potatoes in herbs), bread with garlic dip and the mixed grill platter.
Service was fast but staff seemed to be either overworked or just not too bothered to check on us during the meal.
Been to this place on a weekday and it’s lovely. This place is known for their authentic Lebanese cuisine. We ordered the following,
Hummus with meat - 3.5/5
Shish Taouk - 3/5
Fish skewers - 4/5
Arayees Kafta - 3.5/5
Food was average but the ambience was killer . Their service was really fast and the food was served hot enough.

Abd El Wahab is a nice place to spend a good evening with some family members or friends. The location of the restaurant is perfect facing the Dubai fountain. The food was good and the service was fair.
It was dinner on a weekend that brought us here. We were recommended about this place which will give a view to the fountain with good food. unfortunately we didn't get the outside seating but with an infant we preferred to sit indoors rather than waiting.
The food we ordered was lamb chops and chicken sish taouk. For starter we had ordered Fatayeh. The food is amazing. Authentic Mediterranean spices which was simply delicious. The lamb chops were the best I have ever had. The one point I am restraining to give is because of the dessert. we had ordered knefeh and I didn't like it very much. But we had an 'on the house' additional dessert which was just okay too.
The best thing about this place is despite the location and a fine dining experience the prices are so affordable. This was my first time and I am definitely going to this place again. my tip would be if you want to sit outdoors, better book your table in advance.

My parents came to visit Dubai and we took them around Dubai Mall for shopping. Post that we wanted to sit down for a meal and thought it would be great to dine at a restaurant that served local food and had a view of the Dubai fountains. A quick search on Zomato gave me three options and we ended up choosing this restaurant.
They are located on the first floor and have a smoking section outside with beautiful views. We got some spectacular views of the show during our dinner here.
Get Set Gobble:
~ Hummus - This was absolutely lovely and paired well with their hot breads.
~ Mouhamarra - I'm a huge fan of this dish and is a must order whenever I eat at a Lebanese restaurant. Unfortunately it was a bit of a let down for me as it did not have that much flavour and was also dry.
~ Batata harra - The potatoes were well cooked and weren't spicy in themselves. The spice came from the chopped red chillies added to it so you can remove them if you feel they are too strong for you.
~ Grilled halloumi - We wanted them to try this cheese preparation. It was good but not great.
~ Kebab Kheshkhash - Absolutely love this minced kebab that was so soft to eat. My father was skeptical about trying lamb meat but one bite in and he was blown away by the lovely preparation of the meat. Don't miss that tomato sauce at the bottom that's so flavoursome.
Make sure to ask for the garlic paste and chilli paste on the side that are wonderful accompaniments for a little extra kick of flavour.
