The food is excellent so delicioussssss. Our favorite was the baked musa2a3a it’s from another world - a must try!!! And the sujuk with dibs elremman is addictive. the grilled hammour is highly recommended for fish lovers. For the desserts the knafa with cheese is BOMB Great ambiance and music of our liking. The service was attentive and friendly. This place reminds me of our authentic Beirut nights which is very unique. Defiantly coming back again and again because we enjoyed our time to the MAXIMUM

This mixed cold mezze is great when you're craving for Lebanese/Mediterranean cuisine!

My friend was craving for this, so we three ordered one of this platter for lunch. We can customize our choice of mezze.

From Vine Leaves, Okra, Tabbouleh, to Baba Ganoush, Moutabel and Fattoush, it was served with packet arabic bread.

It seems a bit expensive for such portions but it was a great catch nonetheless. Delivered on time.

Pro:
The beef shawarma was nice and chicken shawarma was as well, although it was just a little salty for my personal taste.

Con:
-ordered baked cheese sambousik, but received fried instead which was a disappointment because I don’t like fried food

- 2 unnecessary plastic plates under the already wrapped shawarma sandwiches. Please ask your staff not to add them as they serve no purpose and it’s a waste.

I went here for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised over how good value it was. Breakfast dish, juice and tea or coffee was about 55 dhs. The food tasted good and the fresh side salad was a nice touch. The tea was Lipton, which for me feels a bit cheap, rather have better quality tea and charge slightly more.

Went there once with two friends, the food was not what any of us would like. Tasted strange to us.
I am not saying it was bad, different people different taste buds.
Hope other will enjoy the food more than we did.

We were group of friends that tried Iftar. Their Buffet was with many varieties starting from cold appetizers to hot appetizers and around 5 different options for main dishes. Never forget their arabic variety of sweets. All the food was amazing and the restaurant ambience is cozy. The staff are very friendly. It was a great experience.

While going to a friend, I passed by Mom’s Food to buy some desserts as takeaway. Through this limited experience, I am impressed by the service quality of the staff. Furthermore they offered complimentary samples of the desserts for me to try and choose. while I was waiting for my packs to be prepared, they offered me drinks. I bought muhallabia and profiterole and both were great. The place is also very warm and cozy. Even though I didn’t try their food except desserts , I am exceptionally comfortable to give them a rating of 5. I will definitely try their food soon.

I personally love eating at Mom’s food. I love the menu they have, so many options to choose from and the food is delicious, and most importantly the quality is consistent. Moreover, their business lunch is a must-go-for if you work around the area and it’s convenient to go there for lunch during the week; it’s a great value for money and the daily dishes they make are always good! Ofcourse, the service has always been excellent and never had any bad experience.

Compared to other Mediterranean places, they have a very generous selection of vegetarian dishes. Everything looked so interesting. Unfortunately we were in a bit of a hurry and so had to grab a kale and quinoa salad and a mix grill and run. The kale was fresh, the quinoa cooked perfectly and the pomegranate seeds and grapes complimented the dish well. It tasted perfect even without the dressing. The meat eaters complained about the mix grill being a bit tough and dry. Nevertheless, we’ll be going back to explore their menu further.

Second time we have food here and we’re not disappointed.. portions are quite generous especially the salads.

The place is well designed & maintained, with most of the people sitting in the Shisha section, part of which is indoors, and the other part is an outdoor enclosure that opens up when the weather is good making it a nice area to sit as it doesn’t get stuffy

Shisha was fine, nothing special.. decent place all round if you want to try something new.. parking in the building is validated for two hours

Busy place at lunch time! A good Lebanese food.
Serve a daily dish- mainly Lebanese homemade food.

Food recommendations :

1. Fatteit bettenjein! Fateit betenjein Faten betenjein! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ a definite 5/5 the best fatteh I’ve ever tasted! Soo worth it! Order it with meat and they add cinnamon it’s perfect!
2. Homos :4/5 ⭐️ small serving size though
3. Fattoush: 3/5 ⭐️ regular but super small
4. Arayes kafta: 3/5
5.Battata Harra: 3.5/5⭐️

Its one of our favorite places!
Very cozy place where people can play games, smoke shisha and enjoy good food at the same time.
Their menu offers authentic Lebanese food but also other dishes as escalope chicken with pasta and fried, slightly spicy shrimps and more...
Fresh baked bread is served with olives, pickles and peppers while waiting for the main dish.
We tried several dishes. Everything was always fresh,delicious and perfectly cooked.
The portions are generous, I’m a good eater but always having a hard time finishing my plate 😂
Meat & Salads are delicious .
We also usually get the meat with hummus as appetizer.
I tried the shrimps - not bad! Just super oily but delicious.
The pasta (picture) is the only dish I wouldn’t recommend...I’m very picky with pasta, don’t think that the sauce-pasta-breaded chicken combination makes a good dish.
Try it ! I’m sure you gonna find something you’ll enjoy 😊

Ended up at Mom’s Food because of my friend's undying love for Arabic food and when we learned they serve sheesha, it was sorted. This is a place where you can feel at home with amazing Lebanese food, amazing sheesha and brownie points for playing cards. Yes cards, there is nothing better than good food, even better sheesha, and some cards. Situated in Dubai Marina, this place has both indoor and outdoor seating and is a must try for an evening out with all of the above mentioned.

Really like the place and the overall interior is beautiful. Food quality is amazing but the service is really really bad. It takes ages to get attention from the servers and same goes for the sheesha service it takes forever. Last time asked the guy to fix the flavour but never did as he couldn’t understand.

It was our first time here. Service was great. Menu is huge so we couldn’t decide on what to eat. Fresh bread is nice with a trio of olives, pickled turnips and pickled bell peppers as a complementary starter. Eventually we had the zatar mankish, hummus, steak wrap and some sombousik mix dish. We also ordered a shisha. For two our order was about 165AED. Parking is paid which they cover which is great. Will probably head back for shisha again.

Mom's Food has been a stable during my time in Dubai - I've been before the place was revamped and I have to say it is much nicer since they've done the re-vamp. The food overall is really good and the service is good. One of my favoriate things though is the shisha - it's usually good and the staff who attend to the shisha are always very helpful and smiley!

I had never been to Mom's Food prior to their renovation and menu revamp. The place looks really nice. The service is very good. Staff are very attentive. The menu offers an extremely wide selection. We ordered tabbouleh, kebbeh ourfali, mixed grill, and kale quinoa salad. Everything was very good! Especially the kebbeh orfali and the kale quinoa salad. One of the best! Definitely recommend this place.

Great lebanese food with sheesha and a smoking area..what more could one want! The variety of food within lebanese cuisine is amazing...since we were a big group, we tried out everything from babaghanoush to moussaka to hummus with pita bread to cheese rolls to vine leaves to salmon platter to mix grill to moms moussaka to chicken and barley bake to chicken fatteh. My personal faves were the chicken and barley bake and the chicken fatteh( which is a yoghurt based gravy of sorts). The daily dishes are to look out for , simply because they're quite unique. Service was decent given our large group, although the staff appeared a bit upset that we were using Entertainer vouchers! We also had mahalabiya for dessert which was nice n creamy. The khnafeh was a bit too cheesy for me, but others enjoyed it. A good place to go if u want to show people what lebanese cuisine is all about.

I visited Mom's Food after ages of wanting to try it with a bunch of friends. I let them take care of the ordering as I love Lebanese food so I'd happily eat anything off the menu. The fattoush has nothing on Mezza house however the fatteh with eggplant was phenomenal as were Mom's kibbeh served with pomegranate jewels. We requested some pomegranate syrup on the side also. My friends weren't too fond of the chicken shish taouk complaining of a funny taste. I wouldn't recommend the profiteroles either that my friend ordered. I'd rather finish with a kunafah. The service was a little disappointing I had to ask 3 times for a fresh lemon juice each time they kept bringing it with mint.
I'd return for Mom's kibbeh and the fatteh with eggplant.

Hands down the best shisha in Marina, if not Dubai! Coming to Mom's Food is always a pleasure.

(TL;DR: Key points at the end)

Review:
The ambience here makes you feel right at home as you are welcomed by all upon arrival. The decor, having recently been remodeled, reminds you of a Mediterranean villa and is nicely done.

They have 4 sections in this restaurant- one indoor non-smoking area, an indoor smoking area, an outdoor covered/uncovered A/C controlled smoking area, and another outdoor uncovered area. This place caters well to all types of people.

Nadi and Reda are the bosses when it comes to preparing the best shisha. They make sure that when they bring it to you, it's already flowing through smoothly so you don't have to deal with that initial charcoal taste. It lasts tremendously long, too! They pack the head properly and place and rotate the coals constantly ensuring a smooth taste throughout. This is something which is hard to find in Dubai as most places tend to pack the tobacco tight or places the coals in a way which makes the head burn quickly. It's clear that Mom's Food appreciates quality and wants you to enjoy your session.

Here they use the industry standard large Khalil Maamoon hookahs and Al Fakher tobacco, the best of the best of both.

Food wise, Mom's Food serves typical Lebanese cuisine, with some touches of other cultural dishes as well. The service is always 5/5 with each server being very friendly and knowledgeable; special shoutout to Julian and Daniel (to all the servers, too, as they are all amazing!). The food is a constant 5/5 with prices being somewhat reasonable.

TL;DR:
Shisha - 5/5 at 49 AED
Food - 5/5
Service - 5/5
Ambience - 5/5
Location - 5/5

Total 25/25 for a glowing 5 star total review.

Tips:
They also serve bountiful daily dishes at 48 AED or 60 AED with shisha- a great deal and a big draw to this restaurant at lunch.
Parking is free for two hours in Park Island (ask for a parking pass before leaving)

This is the perfect place for a friday evening i would suggest. Great food, good setting, nice sheesha, cards😍
We had the halloum flatbread, hummus, moms kibbeh, falafel and tea. Everything tasted good but a special mention of the falafel, it was nothing like we tasted before, delicious..delicious and more delicious, so crunchy and crisp, infact one of the best things ihave ever had. The sheesha i good too. The prices are very reasonable and this place has a nice and casual feel to it too. Me and my husband sat here for over 3 hours playing cards.
I would surely recommend this place, a must visit for those who want to chill at a sheesha cafe, this is sheesha, cards and good food all coupled together!
Definitely worth a try

I came back to mom's after their renovation works.
The restaurants looks amazing inside and their food did not loose quality at all..
In my opinion this is one of the best arabic restaurants in dubai offering also a good selection of very well cooked and presented international dishes.
The beef bourgignon, for example, is a must try! The beed just melts in your mouth.
The staff is very attentive and friendly.

I will definitely come back over and over again!
Well done!

As for the food the food is always delicious and everything that we tried was very good. We had here mixed mezeh, shawarma, mixed grill, grilled hamour, grilled salmon, salads and deserts. The sheesha is really tasty and you can smoke it for a long time. And I also enjoy sitting outdoor.

We usually order Mom's food to the office. The quality is always good, they have daily dish combos that are more than enough, we never finish the meals but the leftovers are always worth it! The only down thing (that actually happened today) is that I ordered a kashkaval&haloumi saj but it was a regular dough and it was just plain, it also costs around 32 aed which is too much for an average man'oushe like this one. I wouldn't recommend that section, but the rest is great!
