Went to the Saturday Brunch (non alcoholic), prawn and crab salad was very tasty. Roast ribeye beef was done to perfection. Cauliflower cheese was delicious and mash potatoes great. Bread and butter pudding for dessert as no more room after all that meat. Still the best Pinacolada’s in Dubai 🍹. Would highly recommend ⭐️.
Wonderful meal great staff and really a special place. Only criticism I have is priced are on the high side making it a once a year occasion.
Love the place!! It’s my local, great atmosphere, food and wine!
The location is fabulous, great views overlooking the golf course. Food & wine were excellent, happy hour from 5pm until 8pm! Superb menu lots of choice! Staff very attentive & professional. All in all a very enjoyable evening!
Another lovely evening with super service and great steaks � Always enjoy a night at the Big Easy...
Love the place, always the favorite when we want to have a little escape with good food.
Beautiful location, fabulous food all round but the apple pie was the absolute best!
Excellent place. Will be back soon.
Fab place to go if you’re looking for some real pub food, my son had the fish & chips which he said was the best he’d ever had , I opted for the burger which was amazing and my hubby went for the bbq chicken wrap . All delicious, will def be back.
If you like your meat, this is the place. Service also fantastic. A great place for dinner with friends.
Good food and good service
Would of been 5 stars but the deep fried Camembert cheese was not melted but they gave us a new one
One of the great places to relax, eat and drink! As well it can be good for couples for a romantic dinner 👌🏻 they have nice balcony terrace where you can sit and enjoy the golf fields recomended for calm evenings and dinners !
Big Easy says it all in the name. Located on the golf course that world famous golf player Ernie Els designed. It has stunning views and is the best place to enjoy a nice glass of South African wine, while the sun sets over the golf course. The food is absolutely amazing, especially the Lamb Shank Bunny-chow. ‘Easy’ yet elegant atmosphere, great food and great service.
Awesome Friday brunch with friends. The view of the golf course is superb. It's kid friendly. Dont forget to try Ernie Els signature Red wine.
Had drinks with friends. The place is a hidden gem. Whoever has put the pics about the ambience of the place has not done a good job coz the place is really classy and drinks are great. The craft beers are worth trying and worth all the drive too. Loved it! My friends at Sports City who never knew about the place were giving me the Grammy's for choosing it and wondering how I always come up with awesome places like these. Oh, the best part was the Zomato Gold😁 Gotta try their food some day!
One of my favourites located next to the golf course really chilled out place does nice steaks great bar staff to look after its customers has nice outdoor seating especially day time to have a look at the course and brunch is really nice
Chilled out place, good value through zomato gold..our friend happened to know the chef so we got some good treats through him.. thoroughly enjoyed the evening!

We just love Big Easy at the Els Club in Sports City. Our go to place If we fancy a nice meal with a glass of vino! If you can’t be bothered to cook at home and had one of those long days at work, this is the place to come to! Their ambiance is like walking into this lovely contemporary decor where you hear the light sound of cutlery, wine glasses toasting lightly and people chit chatting in moderate tone. The moment you walk in, you are welcomed with a smile and the staff try their very best to provide you with what you request for, be it seating or view and of course how would you like your food done! The complimentary corn bread they provide you as you are sat down is amazing! And we love it with just more butter on the side. We love coming to Big Easy, they never disappoint! We have also dined with a large group of friends and everyone was and leaves happily satisfied with everything! Their menu options are vast and I’m sure they can always tweek it here and there to satisfy their diners! I’ excited to try The Big Easy Carvery and hopefully soon! If you crave proper South African food and ambiance, please take may recommedation and book your table with them now! #bigeasy #theelsclub #southafrican #meatlovers #steak #brisket #chicken #grilled #wine #thebigeasy #greatservice #greatfood #bigeasybarandgrill #carvery #dubai #sportscity

A lovely relaxed evening before the weekend night is just what you need to unwind. 🍹🍹The relaxed ambience, the African comfort food and the warm service... few things that add that cherry 🍒 to the experience... African food is totally unexplored and underrated, apart from grills ... At the Big Easy @the_els_club_dubai the Spicy Lamb Shank Bunny Chow was a warm cinnamon flavored stew cooked in aromatic spices and served in a hallow bread bowl. Swipe to check it out ... 🙇🏻♀️Mouth melting delicious 😋
First time we visit this place. We loved it. The menu selection, the service, the food quality and presentation. Definitely a keeper on our list. This place is stamped with F&F (First & Forever)
When we went on a Friday afternoon, there was a big event downstairs with a bouncy castle and food stalls - perfect for my toddler! Come dinner time, we were welcomed warmly by The Big Easy team. Our server was attentive and even suggested some items on the menu. I ended up having the Big Easy red as a beverage. Not a vino expert but I can say it was very drinkable. Lol. For my main, I went for the brisket with apple chutney. Braised for six hours. Heavenly. Especially liked the fatty bits - packed with melt-in-your-mouth flavor. The staff were especially friendly to my daughter, and I can't thank them enough for that. We're already planning our next dinne@r there. 😀
This weekend we visited the Big Easy for the Saturday carvery. Aside from the stunning view of the golf course, the ambiance, food and service was impeccable. Verah showed us to our table and the drinks service was extremely attentive. The beef Wellington and chocolate cake were absolute winners, the live music really added to the atmosphere too. I wish I could go every Saturday!
Memorable evening with friends made special by the staff.
This was our first time to dine at the big easy and it's an experience to be repeated.
Wonderful food and exceptional service provided at every opportunity
The staff made a big effort to acknowledge our special occasions and were accommodating and friendly.
Prices are reasonable and the food was of a very high standard. (Entertainer voucher accepted)
Well done.
Great for: date night and celebrations with friends...or even a nice last drink before bedtime.Bart Daems
I visited this place a lot and i really like this place they have delicious seafood and nice view of golf outside .the staffs are friendly also .
Excellent place with exquisite and mouthwatering food. Perfect ambiance for fine dining. Excellent service, friendly and caring staff. Enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend the place to all my friends upon their visit to Dubai.
Great place for steak, nice location and friendly stuff.
I was not amazed by the salmon and found it a bit plane but was happy with the meal in general
Incredible afternoon after a shocking start!! Had booked brunch elsewhere, they had a double booking, Big Easy came to the rescue (Nico specifically) ... amazing!!
I heard the food here is divine. And the South Africans do make great meats, and so when the opportunity came up to try it out, I was super excited.
Two words, one dish: Bunny Chow. Try it. It's a "street food" item from Durban, but with a twist at the Big Easy. Traditionally it's of Indian origin- a meat curry served in a loaf of bread. Simple. At the Big Easy, it's a moist, tender, flavorful, delectable, succulent, lamb shank.. Served in a loaf of perfectly baked bread. Pair it up with one of their South African reds and you've got heaven on earth and a very full tummy.
I'm yet to try the dessert and apologies for not having pictures. I was too excited to eat. But I will definitely be going back so stay tuned!
This South African place needs more marketing!! We had a bottle of Dom Perignon, a baked brie, pinenut bruschetta for starters and Mushroom risotto, Seabass, Artichokes for main course. The champagne and baked brie were heavenly. All other food items were really good too. It has a really good view as well. Perhaps the only thing I would fault the place for is its accessibility.

If you live in the Arabian Ranches, Motor City, Victory Heights part of town the Big Easy Bar & Grill offers a borderline, fine dining experience on par with Palermo – Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club, Ranches Restaurant & Terrace – Arabian Ranches Golf Club and Maison Mathis – Arabian Ranches, although the three latter establishments are actually listed as ‘casual dining’ on Zomato. Having dined at all four restaurants I found immediate similarities between the Big Easy and the other EMAAR restaurants, Palermo and Ranches.
My wife ordered the 8 oz. Grilled Beef Tenderloin and I had the live Boston Lobster, cooked as a Thermidor (to hell with the diet). I was surprised to find that neither dish came with a side, the steak in particular which is offered with a sauce only. So we ordered Creamed Spinach and a Potato Gratin – both of which were marvellous. My wife’s steak came cooked to her ‘medium’ preference which personally I feel is such a waste of meat – steak needs to be a little bloody, but hey, this was her party. I loved my little lobster (emphasis on little).
The restaurant serves a complimentary sponge cakey corn bread which is alright but does have a peculiar taste. We were told it’s an African thing – hmm. My wife really liked the house red which was recommended with her steak – apparently it’s an Ernie Els wine which I am told is a pretty big deal: http://www.ernieelswines.com/. I’m not a wine person and stuck with my pint of Stella. I didn’t find anything overtly African about the Big Easy other than the genuine warmth of the excellent service. We will most definitely revisit. Perhaps this time for their famous brunch.
Eyewateringly pricy but recommended nonetheless especially if you live out in the Arabian Ranches, Motor/Sports City, Victory Heights part of the desert.
An African Cuisine located in a calm area, a huge terrace overlooking the Golf Course, serve the best grilled food.. the New Zealand Red deer fillet is a must (Roasted roots casserole, baby potato, mushroom ragout
and rosemary cranberry jus.)

Big Easy is housed in a very modern, homely and airy space with a terrace overlooking the breathtaking golf course. The natural overtones, brick walls and wooden flooring all come together to reflect the warmth that Big Easy has to offer. We were welcomed by a very friendly hostess who guided us to our table and server for the day – Ashwin.
The buffet was, without exaggeration, enormous! We loved how different stations were spaciously set with open kitchens so we could watch the culinary team as they create they own gastronomical masterpieces. The extensive menu has a lot to offer, however the specialty of this place is the freshness of the food. Our server, Ashwin, was interning at Big Easy and we loved how he made us feel welcomed, chatted us up every once in a while and continuously checked if we were comfortable and enjoying the food.
We started off the salad station with over 30+ varieties of salads. This doesn’t happen very often, but the salad station seemed to be one of our favorite stations in the entire buffet. We noticed that the chefs liked to incorporate feta in most of the dishes (not that we’re complaining) and they kept the dressings very minimal in an effort to appreciate the freshness of the produce they use.
Must Try: Pear with feta cheese, Stuffed Mushrooms, Norwegian Smoked Salmon with Horseradish sauce and the Thai Chili Prawn Salad (we went for seconds for these).
They had separate LIVE stations for Pasta, Scallops and Foie Gras, Japanese Teriyaki and the Grills. At the Scallops and Foie Gras counter the chef was very precise with the cooking time and this is what makes the scallops melt in your mouth.
The Grills counter had a display of Tiger Prawns, Salmon, Sea-bass, Rib-eye and Lamb Chops. All you got to do is specify, if necessary, how you want your meat cooked and the flavor/sauce you prefer.
Little did we know that what we had seen was only half of it, after noticing another room adjacent to kitchen we quickly scrambled to have a look only to discover a whole lot more of personalized stations.
A station that immediately caught our eyes with its unique set up was the Ceaser Salad station where the salad was prepared in a giant cheese wheel.
There was also a Thai station where you can get your own Tom Yum soup as per your liking with the various condiments, An Indian station serving Biryani and authentic Indian gravies, a South African dish serving Babootie and Boerewors which were really flavorful, and last but not least, a Prime Rib station served with Yorkshire Pudding and Gravy (I know right?).
The Dessert station was without a doubt the most perfect end to the entire meal, we were unfortunately too late to try out the Crème Brule since they ran out of it, but the Mango Charlotte totally made up for it!
We don’t see why you shouldn’t visit this place at least once; Big Easy comprises perfect food, ambience, music and service. We even enjoyed lounging on the terrace after brunch, taking in the beautiful view and enjoying the peaceful aura that Big Easy offers. It is truly an escape, something that would definitely make your weekend.
