Indie is one of the best party brunches in Dubai that I have been to. The atmosphere was lively and it was booming. I couldn’t believe what I was experience, the crowd was young and the music was happening. It was basically a mini rave in a restaurant. Before we made it to the party aspect of Indie, we had to first go through the brunch which was what we went there for. There is no menu which means that you are in for a surprise. It was something different as everyone is accustomed to seeing what is on the menu and planning their stomach accordingly. At Indie, they try to be different that most of the restaurants that serves Brunch and it worked. I was always wondering what I was about to get and that anticipating (plus hunger) made each visit the servers paid to our table something to look forward to.
Absolutely love this place.
Their food is a 9/10 for me. And their drinks are fantastic. Price wise it is a bit over the top for me, but if you’re looking for great ambience with delicious sharing plates and ice cold mule this is the place for you.
Have been there at least 5 times for celebrations and never once disappointed by their food or service!
Indie is a cool place in DIFC to relax over a evening drink. Indie has good service and nice cocktails. Indie does have latini salsa nights and also hip hop depending on days. Nice ambiance.
Loved the vibe and the music there. We went on a Friday night and they had 80’s and 90’s music which was great fun. The ceviche was amazing and must have. Good service although it got pretty busy
Excellent food, great atmosphere on Thursday night. I’ve been also on Tuesday, but then it wasn’t busy at all. I love their food, service is good too. I would recommend the burger sliders, the chunky truffle fries, the duck wraps, and the crab toast (it’s only 4 bites, but very tasty). It’s pricey, but definitely worth it.
Loved the vibe went for their Latin night. Long island was great the service was quick and on point. Wouldn't mind going back. The food was tasty as well
Such a cool environment. Very beautiful restaurant design. But the thing that stands out most is the quality of food. Oh gosh it's beyond paradise. Everything, sea bass, edamame, truffle fries and everything I have tried was YUM! The music is awesome too! Love it
Nice place to hangout and chill with group of friends or colleagues or for that matter its cool for an evening date with fun music and eclectic cuisine to choose from. We had the Lobster Rolls and Gambas Ceviche before heading to our table at Gaucho later.
Im a big fan of salsa dance and latino music, so this place is just perfect for it, and retro nights as well.
• Food is delicious.
• Suitable for Group gatherings n birthday celebrations !
• Simply love it !!
Great place! I’m a salsa and latin music lover (very amateur dancer but it’s all about the fun) and if you are anything like me you should definitely try this place out on a Latin Music Night. I went on a Monday a while back with my best friend who is a pro and it was great. The place is very welcoming and the “community” is great. Service was alright, very crowded so expected time delays were not an issue to me. Dancing area needs a little bit to clearing up tho people were stepping on my dress the whole time. Also 2am is early!
Loved the place will be visiting very soon as Ive been recommending it left and right 😂 see ya!
Indie is one nice places in Dubai their drinks are good, and so is the food. They serve one of the best salmon tartare I’ve tasted around the area. They organize really cool themed night throughout the week as well. Friendly staff and cool crowd.
Haven’t tried the food but I have been there several times for drinks. Nice ambiance and good music. Might get too crowded on the weekends so you better book a table
Great food great service great drinks great people love this place all the menu is super tasty and the drinks are wow must try whenever you are in DIFC try the truffle potatoes and lobster sliders yumm
Nice ambiance on a Thursday evening. Service was a bit sharp and repeatedly informed us that we had the clock ticking to return our table. Overall it was an OK experience.
Great music, great atmosphere. The DJ on Thursday nights is LIT! Perfect mood setter 👌🏻
A proper and better AC system is needed ASAP as they are open in Dubai in July. It was too hot!!
The number of bartenders should be increased. The place was packed and we were waiting a lot of time for our orders to be heard and served.
Its a fun place to go have a drink and dance. Very crowded on Friday and very hot. The food was not bad. The ambiance is good. The prices are high but it is expected.
So I was invited to watch the Spain vs Portugal World Cup Football match at Indie. We had an amazing experience, the staff was friendly, the drinks were unique specially the cocktails. We ordered the old fashion which was amazing and there are few places in Dubai where you get a perfection of a cocktail you want. We also ordered the their long island ice teas which were perfectly made with the right amount of everything. The food was decent specially the Truffle fries which was again made to perfection and as soon as the match finished, the whole place was a party, had an amazing time and will often visit the place more and more.

Visited this place before last month on a Friday night the place was heavily packed and all of the dishes , drinks and desserts that we had ordered was incredible , perfect in taste , lovely cocktails . The only thing which disappointed me was the cocktails which was delayed nearly 25-30 mins of time which was quiet a delay . Rest everything was just perfect .
Amazing place . We went on a Friday night it was 80’s night
Very vibrant place. Didn’t try the food but had a couple of drinks. The staff were friendly. Highly recommended if you want to have some fun
Fun place to have drinks and dance it can be crowded on a Friday night as it turns I to a night club so that can be a bit too much if you don’t like crowded places . The dinner was good and drinks , it’s by Zuma in DIFC
Ladies night!!!!!!! I don't know the offer but it was great atmosphere! I feel like I'm in Akihabara a bit lol the sweets were amazing!!!! Plz plz try try try!!!
Had a ball of a night on a Friday night, loved their grilled salmon and lambchops it was very much delicious. Staff people were very friendly and ambience wise the place was good and so was the foot tapping music. Will surely be visiting again for sure.
I have tried the place on Monday which was Latin music night. The vibes and the ambience was great . The staff is so friendly and it is obvious that they are Pros. Simply a place where you feel welcomed and comfortable.
I came here several times and was even at the opening. The cocktails are better than the food.
I found the place to be very popular among the Lebanese crowd.
The food is good but on the expensive side. For the same vale you can find better choices at DIFC for dinner but I guess the place is advertised more of a lounge / bar than a restaurant.
Great venue, vibe, service and food. We booked a high table and went as a group for drinks. Chilled before 10. It gets quite packed after 10 but is well worth it. The music and ambiance is pretty good.
For food we had the Spicy Tuna, Indie Burgers, Spicy Tock Chicken, Grilled Cheese Samoosa and the Truffle Fries. Great dishes, good flavor and very tasty. Impressed with their range of dishes!
Good food, music and amazing atmosphere. though drink prices are on the higher side than most places, it is a wonderful place ti be and enjoy with friends. pics of jameson, Kahlua Shots , Cheese samosa and French Fries!
Last Wednesday, as we had a very stressful day at work, I decided to go out with my friend to change a bit and forget about the day. We decided to go to INDIE in DIFC. INDIE is located in Gate Village 5 on the Podium Level, from the parking where you keep your car with the valet parking, you will take the elevator to reach INDIE.
The place was perfect, excellent vibe, music and food. The service was a bit slow at the start, and picked up and the team were on top of it. Highly recommended and would definitely go back again.
This place deserves 5 on 5 undoubtedly.We went there on a thursday night for drinks and it was crazy.Amazing crowd, good music-they were playing lebanese and english songs;a mix of new and old songs.The atmosphere was very nice perfect for a thursday evening when you just want to party hard to beat to start the weekend
Didn't have any food at Indie but was there with a group of friends for a nice night out. The ambience is nice, music is fantastic, but it is quite smoky and a little slow on the service. I know it's DIFC but I believe it was on the expensive side for the product offering. But it's got a good vibe and a nice party going on.
Gate village in DIFC is a not an unfamiliar location for Dubai’s socialites. Being home to some of the slickest restaurants, art galleries, art cafes and bar lounges it is a haunt of the fashionistas, food connoisseurs, art lovers and party animals. While Zuma in the vicinity, is very popular, there’s one more rising star that you probably may not have heard of as much, but is clearly rocking the party scene big time in the financial district.
very nice place, cute ambiance, cozy, nice music, and the service is really nice. coming to the food, the quality and presentation are really nice, portion could be better.

Indie lounge is an absolutely fantastic restaurant that dishes out some mouthwatering food. It felt so homely and classy which really helped enhance my dining experience.
Here are the things I like about it:
1) The Quality of Food- The Quality of their food is seems to be great and it has just the right amount of flavoring. I found their food to have a very interesting texture and taste which ended up playing out well at all ends of my palette.
2) The Quantity of Food- The Portions seem to be perfect for one but due to the great flavoring you may be left craving for more.
3) The Service - The waiters/ management seem to be on the move at all times trying to enhance your dining experience. They are extremely fast at getting things done and the timeframe from when you order your food to when it is brought to your table is incredible.
4) The Ambiance- I absolutely loved their ambiance from top to bottom. The lighting and music were simply on point.
I would highly recommend gracing your palette with their short ribs and other meat options. The menu is short, sweet & to the point making it easier to choose from.
We went for a date night dinner celebrating my husband’s birthday. We went on a Wednesday night with La Francofolie, all French songs.
We ordered these as appetizers:
- lobster rolls: very good and rich, it comes in 3 pieces
- mini burgers: also good which come in 3 pieces
- goat cheese salad: very rich and tasty
Main courses:
- scallops: very good but tiny portion
- tenderloin: super soft and tasty
Side:
Truffle French fries
Dessert:
Fondant au chocolat: delicious and rich
Overall food is amazing but the portions are small and we only had two drinks one of them is alcoholic
The ambiance was amazing but no one was dancing until we left at 10.30.
Our bill came around 900 AED

If you know me, you probably know how important good vibes are to me, and Indie is ALL about the vibes! From the time you enter, you're sure to be super impressed! The decor is so very interesting with the catchy lights and unique artifacts all around the walls. The music is so lively, and the night I visited they had the 80's and 90's special, so remixes of all of my favorite old school tracks were playing, which was awesome!
My friend and I were seated at one of the big tables with a couch, where we had a full view of the restaurant. We started off with a Virgin Mojito and a Cannonball drink. Both were really refreshing, perfect begin a great evening. Coming down to the food, they don't have a very vast menu, but they've made sure that there's something to cater to every taste bud. We handed over the task of placing our order to the restaurant manager, who picked out their best and gave us small portions of a LOT of dishes to try.
To begin with the starters, we got -
• Indie Burgers - mini sliders with well cooked beef patties, coleslaw and some onions. This one was simple but tasty.
• Spicy Rock Chicken - crunchy chicken strips tossed in a dynamite-like sauce, so so super yummy!
• Glazed Short Ribs - I'm not a fan of beef, but the glaze on these chunks of tender meat was so delicious that I couldn't stay away from this!
• Rossini Jr - really well cooked beef tenderloin with Fois Gras, this was delicious!
• Beef Carpaccio - this was the first time ever that I tried Carpaccio, and to my surprise, u actually liked it! The meat was so thinly cut and along with the pesto dressing, it was yum.
• Super Corn Salad - I loved this fresh cold corn salad so much! The dressing was simple but full of flavor
• Mediterranean Quinoa Salad - yet another simple salad, but really flavorful and delicious
• Goat Cheese Salad - the creamy cheese on the crunchy bread was light yet tasty
For the mains, we had the -
• Risotto - the rice was cooked perfectly and I really liked the sauce. It was creamy but not overly heavy. Really yummy.
• Lamb Chops - I've recently developed a liking for lamb chops, and these were so tender and nicely cooked. I loved the mint sauce on the top.
• Jumbo Shrimp - the prawns really were huge and lovely, but they were a tad bit bland for my liking.
• Truffle Fries - these fries were more like huge slabs of potatoes. I expected them to be hard at least in the center because of the huge size, but they were perfectly soft with a generous amount of the most delicious sauce.
Even though we were so full with all of these dishes, we couldn't end our meal without some desserts -
• Indie Profiteroles - the pastry itself was so soft and the cream filling inside wasn't too sweet. The mix of dark and white chocolate toppings complimented the dish perfectly.
• Chocolate Fondant - this cake was the most heavenly, gooey and scrumptious thing ever! It had a thick centre that was runny but not watery, more pudding-like, but FABULOUS!
Clearly, the food at Indie was amazing! To my own surprise, I absolutely loved the starters and salads more than the mains, and the desserts won my heart as well.
However, as I mentioned right at the start, the vibes elevate your dining experience to awesomeness! The people at the restaurant are so very friendly and treat you like a buddy, rather than a customer, and I love that! Rokk, who attended to us, along with all the others, made us feel so comfortable! I must be honest, Indie is pricier than places I normally visit, and the price tags are the only downside of this place. But given my epic dining experience, I wouldn't mind splurging occasionally on a date night, or a night of chilling with friends.
PS. They have Salsa themed nights on Mondays where they host free Bachata and Salsa classes for everyone, and that's something you shouldn't miss out on!
One of the select few places on this planet that have a DJ who actually does his job (spinnin’ discs) not just changing outputs.
Love the vibe in the lounge area, gorgeous setup.
Traditional bar, brilliant selection of alcohol. Shoutout to the Asahi and Sāke collection.
If you’re a whiskey lover, I’d suggest you try their Whiskey Sour; its brilliantly made and has the perfect blend of citric content with the spirit. Food selection is fairly above average but it does the job for a bar.
Standouts: cheese samosas, edemame, gnocchi, truffle french fries.
Definitely coming here again!
Great food, great prices, amazing atmosphere; try the Gnocchi and lobster rolls,I loved the decor and had a great time but its not a place I'd alway go back to.
Went there for French night
Friendly and very attentive staff
Menu offers a wide variety of international dishes
Atmosphere 10/10
Amazing night overall
Went there on a Friday night and we had the best time!! We reserved beforehand and got a good seating near the DJ. The music was spectacular and it was nice to see my parents enjoy the music and ambience as much as I did!!
The food was also good especially the tuna bites which tasted amazing, on a bed of fried rice cakes 👍🏻

Another gem in DIFC! We visited last week for a friends birthday and had one of the best most memorable nights ever. The DJ plays some great music, the atmosphere and people are trendy and exciting and the service and team are great! Thanks to Justina and the team at Indie for really going that extra mile!
Went with a group of friends and had a lovely time. Great music and ambiance. Delicious cocktails! Did not try the food. It's a very nice place for a friends night out but it is a bit on the expensive side
The atmosphere at indie is special, good food and drinks, amazing music. The place is cosy if your planning to go there make sure you get your self a table as it's not comfortable going there as a walkin without a table
Awesome place for having drinks after work! Bar team is super cool and friendly ) Very busy on Thursday evenings, and DJ will make you dance until late night
Decent ambience, decent food, decent drinks, decent service....overall decent place to unwind and party! Found their Bloody Mary pretty neat and quite presentable! Gin and tonic is no brainer so no special points for that. However, their edamame and quinoa salad are worthy of special mention because they were really good. Best part is I visited this place during Happy Hours i.e. 5pm to 8pm on a Friday which is awesome...50% discount on selected drinks and food items is definitely a good attraction I must say! Love the place but did not get chance to explore their entire menu and service hence 3.5 rating is justified! This is a cool hangout in DIFC is what I suspect. Hope I am not wrong...will visit this place again to give full blown review soon!
Cozy ambiance and excellent cocktails. The food was great not to filling and the serving portions were fair. The staff were also accommodating.
Love it! Friday nights 80's, 90's & 00's this place won't let you down if you want to have some fun. Their Saturday brunch is also highly recomendable. Cool people, cool vibes and lots of dancing. The food is also great with the most amazing steak you wouldn't expect less from the sister restaurant of Gaucho.

Must Try: Spicy Rock Chicken, Seven Samurai Drink and Libertine Drink.
What a vibrant place!
Indie is yet another trendy lounge located in DIFC. It is definitely good for after-work drinks or even a night out during the weekends.
Indie has a vintage yet rustic touch which can felt throughout the restaurant. Their best feature was definitely the light bulb chandeliers which gave the restaurant a modernistic yet chic look.
We decided to start with Crispy Duck and Spicy Rock Chicken. The duck was soft and it went well with the Hoisin Sauce while the chicken was full of flavour.
For main course, we tried the Lamb Chomps (served with mashed potatoes and sautéed baby spinach) and Brick Chicken (served with mousseline potatoes sautéed green beans). The main courses were not as impressive as the starters but were nice nonetheless. The mashed potatoes was smooth and fluffy. The lamb chomps and the chicken were cooked well but perhaps they could have been generous with the seasoning it did lack a bit of flavour.
The drinks were quite good and had a fair amount of a kick in them. We tried the Seven Samurai, Libertine, Cannonball, Moscow Mule, Dark And Stormy, Bloc Party. The drinks had good variety of flavours and are definitely recommended.
Indie has good music making it difficult to get a spot during the weekends as it can get packed quickly. The service is good and the servers were helpful with menu.
Overall a great place to visit for drinks and night outs.
Enjoyed the food and particularly the lobster roll! Cocktails were also very tasty! The crowd was interesting! Prices kind of high I would say! Nice ambience and good service! I would go back!
I never understood why a place that doesn't have good ventilation let people smoke and not fix that said bad ventilation... kills me... the food is good though, not special, and the crowd is cool, except for their 80s night (music is all over the place - and the DJ needs to retire immediately).
What a nice place and concept :) classy lounge well decorated in addition to the cool music.
Drinks are great , try the margarita and their starters !
One of my favorite places in the DIFC.
The truffle fries are a must. Many interesting drink combinations to try.
The music is always fun. The atmosphere seriously infectious.
Great place with great music and good drinks
Bartenders are friendly and prompt.
They have a nice cocktail menu if you manage to come while the place is still quite.
Friday nights get really loud and there is lots of dancing and fun going on.
Haven't eaten at Indie yet but been there loads of times for drinks. They make pretty wicked cocktails, love their Moscow Mule, Dark and Stormy, and Peruvian Pisco Sour. The music on the weekends is phenomenal but it tends to be too crowded and you will have to shout at each other if you want to talk, convenient if you don't want to talk :/ I like going there during the week when it is not too busy because the music is great and it is a lot more relaxed than on weekends.
A nice chill out place in Dubai with great music and impressive interior decoration. The food is so tasty and the drinks are twisted. They always add a little something to the standards. I ordered "Sazer Arak" pitcher for two. It was really good. Must try!

Great place for that day off or after office. The place has a nice vibe with friendly staff and great food and drinks.
I was here for the Saturday BRUNCH which basically gives you a choice of three packages which includes juice, alcohol or with champagne. We opted for the alcohol and house beverage package. The brunch starts off at 1 pm and goes on till 6 pm so if you are there with friends this is a great place to get sloshed and enjoy the the ambiance with friends along with great food.
The brunch package basically offers you unlimited starters followed by one main and one dessert to choose from. But the delicious starters itself would have filled you up along with the unlimited beverages so be warned if you want to enjoy your mains and dessert.
Starters include Sliders, A variety of toasts with different toppings, Mac n Cheese and a whole lot more. For the mains I had the steak and eggs with Fries followed by pancakes drizzled in chocolate.
The place has live music and their DJ whips up great stuff too. Recommended when you are in the mood to chill and just have fun with friends.
Why go there:
One of the best lounges in Dubai, if not the best.
I give it a 4 because it is not just about the food, right?
Reservations are must on weekends unless you want to go early and sit at the bar.
The recent visit was on Friday night & they were playing 80s and 90s hits.
Got there @ 9. Good time to start off the engines, chat up and enjoy the food and the ambiance. After 11 it got loud and packed with a fun crowd.
Decent starters - sambal seabass sashimi and gambas ceviche were curiously nice. Thumbs up for Carpaccio rolls and lime crab. Rossini jr (foie gras on top of beef) is great. I suggest ordering a number of interesting starters and skip mains.
Must try!
Opposite Zuma and sharing an entrance with Gaucho, this new joint is a welcome addition to the Thursday evening, after work drinks scene. Reached there at 6:30 on a Thursday and the place was already buzzing with the usual DIFC lawyers and bankers crowd. Mainly went there to grab a drink but ended up having a few snacks as well. The crispy chicken was absolutely delicious and while I prefer thinner crispier fries, these chunky ones were really good. By the time we left (at 10pm) the place was completely packed. Good music, good selection of cocktails and an overall good vibe is sure to make Indie is regular haunt.

3- INDIE DIFC : From the same stable that brought us IRIS, this chill-out lounge might not be an obvious place to go looking for a burger. But INDIE defies all rights and wrongs with its uproariously good burger.

If you have not seen "If you don't belong, don't be long" on the wall you have not been at Indie. It is actually the first approach when entering this amazing restaurant in DIFC.
It is a lovely place to go to , it is good starting with drinks after work ( their gin basil and moscow mule above all) and continue with their delicious food. After diner there is also a good vibe, whether live bands or deep house music. My favorite night is definitely Friday, further their new RETRO night with music from the 70s 80s 90s. The crowd and vibe at Indie is absolutely amazing. Service is outstanding, a special one goes to the Spanish Elena: smiley and professional at all times.
But this is not the only thing I love from Indie. Some people still don't know that this place has a delicious menu, varied, original, with some Asiatic and Hispanic influence and most of all, super fresh and nicely presented. I always wonder which magic ingredient they put in the edamame, they are so simple and delicious! ( no matter how hard I try to cook them similarly, they ll never be as good as those ones)
Pimientos del padron are perfect as starters and they bring me back to Barcelona but the Indie burger brings me back nowhere cause I have never tasted something like that: they are filled with wasabi ginger sauce and ginger pickles...such a perfect combination. Another favorite is the super corn salad, that bring me back to Mexico in terms of flavor and freshness. Bravo Indie :-)

Loved the vibe at indie! Their food is also really good! We got a mix of salads,sliders, and desserts! It's small portions, so would recommend like 5-8 to share between a group of 4 people!! Staff is really friendly!
Very nice set up, music is very nice and I personally liked the atmosphere.
Most of the food items are tasty while the others are just ok .
I recommend the lobster rolls , mini burgers and veal filet .
I LOVE this place.
I go there almost every other week.
It has a really nice ambience, regardless what day of the week I go there. I love it's food bites with their unique cocktails that they serve. Its a great combination. Whatever drink I try on their menu it's always good, different, and interesting.
The music is good too, it's house music, except Fridays I believe it's like 70s 80s music, which is a good flashback for some of their audience. Their waiters are super friendly and we know almost every bar tender there from how friendly and social they are. I love it. I'm not trying to exaggerate but it is really a unique place with its atmosphere. Go give it a try!!!!
A swanky place in DIFC,which was beautifully done up lined with high seating tables and other round tables as well. There was a huge bar and plush interiors.
There was a band playing fresh hip hop and retro music and a dj continued later.
What we ate:
Amalgam : a platter of 4 different starters. I really loved the Spicy Rock Chicken. It was juicy chicken with mind blowingly sweet and tangy sauce. I could go on eating that.
The Baked Samosas were decent too and also the lime crab. Didn't like the Tuna
The service was excellent although we felt the place was a little too expensive and then there is the 10% DIFC tax also.

DIFC, the hub for some of the fanciest and most unique restaurants in Dubai opens its doors to a rather unusual restaurant. Ofcourse, we mean it in a good way. A restaurant cum lounge that offers cuisines from everywhere, aiming to bring the best from different parts of the world, is a restaurant you shouldn’t miss visiting.So we did just that when we dined at Indie Lounge a few weeks ago that brought about a very pleasant dining experience. We always say, the food served at a restaurant contributes to only half of the entire dining experience, and we felt that Indie understood that perfectly well. With quirky artifacts, mix and match furniture, bookshelves, vintage decor and bare bulbs floating along the entire ceiling, Indie is bound to leave you gazed and astonished.The food served at Indie is perfect for a simple dinner or probably to go along with your drinks on a girls night out. Also, at Indie they believe in a sharing concept (which we always appreciate) and the food menu isn’t necessarily categorized into appetizers and mains. Rather all items on the menu can be considered as both, a snack or a whole hearted meal.We began our tasting by sampling the Asian Burgers which are Prime Beef Mini Burgers topped with a wasabi ginger sauce and ginger pickles. The burgers itself were juicy and cooked perfectly and the wasabi ginger sauce added a contrast (or rather burst) of flavors that married well with the flavor of the beef.The stand out however, and probably the best dish we’ve had at Indie is the Rossini Jr. which are Prime beef mini cubes topped with seared Foie Gras and Truffle flakes. A must try at Indie since these bites melt in your mouth in seconds. It’s no surprise that when prime beef, truffle and foie gras are combined into one dish, wonders will be created. And this dish did just that. We were left with an uncontrollable urge to devour at least ten portions of these. We really wished the portions were a bit more.Next, we tried the Spicy Tuna which is spicy raw tuna on crispy rice cubes. We loved this dish for two reasons alone – firstly, the quality of tuna used was premium which instantly adds depth to the dish and secondly, the seasoning and flavors used was perfectly proportionate with the tuna, enabling the fish to shine through.The Super Corn which is a salad comprising of a mix of sweet and Peruvian corn with lime dressing is a refreshing salad that is simple yet unique. We love the texture of Peruvian corn however they aren’t easily available in many restaurants in Dubai. Luckily for us, we got to savor them at Indie. Delicious!We also relished the “Crab’oustine” salad which is fresh crab and langoustine (or scampi) with wild herbs. The seafood was delicately cooked and generously served. Also, the dish itself was beautifully presented and garnished.Another unique dish was the Ravioli which is grilled mascarpone and pumpkin ravioli on a creamy foie gras sauce. Unlike most ravioli thats boiled, the ravioli in this dish was grilled added a unique texture. We feared the pasta itself could’ve been rubbery, however it was perfectly soft and al dente. The foie gras sauce added a rich spin to the dish.A great accompaniment would have to be the “Pont-Neuf” Fries which are large fries served with Black Truffle sauce. A bit overpriced according to us, since the fries didn’t “wow” us. However the truffle sauce instantly adds bags of flavor.If we had to pick a flaw with the menu of Indie, it would have to be in terms of variety of dessert. The desserts weren’t appetizing enough for us as we would’ve hoped. They were pleasantly delicious nevertheless. We had the Waffle Love Bites which are bite sized waffles topped with wild berries and a sweet and sour cream. They waffles with the topping tasted good, however we felt it wasn’t unique and a bit to “lazy” for the price they were serving this dessert at.The Pannacotta on the other hand was a treat! Beautiful consistency and just an absolutely pleasure to eat. The texture and consistency was on point and we couldn’t have rounded off our meal any better
الخدمة جدا ممتازة،،

We ordered a Mix selection of appetizers , Most of it was spicy and very tasty and for the main course we ordered baked salmon and Veal steak , Both were yummy.

Amazing ambience with GOT lighting. Minimalist but upmarket at the same time. Love their choice of DJ's and events. One of the few casual places in the DIFC
(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) الموسيقى والجو رائع. الطعام يضرب المكان. السبب الوحيد الذي لم يعطها 5 نجوم هو بسبب كمية الدخان داخل.

Music is and atmosphere are great. The food hits the spot. Only reason i didnt give it 5 stars is due to the amount of smoke inside.
(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) لدى Indie بالتأكيد بعض الكوكتيلات الجيدة ، وهذا أمر مؤكد. سوف تكون مزدحمة للغاية في عطلة نهاية الأسبوع ولكن في المرة الأخيرة التي ذهبنا فيها ، كانت لديهم موسيقى مذهلة ، ومزيج من الثمانينيات وضربات جديدة ، مما جعلها أمسية ممتعة للغاية. أنا أفضل عمومًا الذهاب إلى إندي في أسبوع من الأسبوع لأنها مريحة أكثر بكثير مما لو كنت معبأة مثل علبة السردين. لم تجرب طعامهم بعد ولكن لديهم بعض الوجبات الخفيفة الجيدة في القائمة.

Indie definitely has some pretty good cocktails, that's for sure. It gets to be super crowded on the weekends but last time we went, they had amazing music, a mix of 80s and new hits, which made it a super fun evening. I generally prefer going to Indie on a weeknight as it's a lot more comfortable than when you're packed like a can of sardines. Haven't tried their food yet but they have some good snacks on the menu.
