Reviews ‪kizmet‬

I don't usually write reviews. It's actually my first time leaving a review on zomato. But this restuarant deserves a one. Starting with the food, you don't have to worry what your friends will have no matter what their taste is. There's something for everyone. Their food menu is informative, short and sweet. Apart from the delicious food I had (ordered a tuna appetizer, tacos and crispy fish), you do feel a soul in the whole restaurant set up. It would make u feel like you are home especially with the carpets styling their stairs. The decoration and interior does look like some other restaurants in dubai, but there's a special character you can feel in the smallest details. The style has something french about it but not very obvious. I like how passionate the waiter was, who had no problem waiting for me asking her about all what the menu offers. It wasn't very busy as I went around 4:30, a weird timing I believe. All in all, the restaurant shows some good work behind it, taking care of the details, offering simplicity and peaceful ambience. Music can be better though. I rarely come across restuarants where they offer variety of food selections, yet succeed in having a character, we can say with a soul between the many many restuarants in dubai.

Thank you

After watching phantom of the opera I was searching for a romantic place and this popped up on zomato. A real romantic place with great food. Much recommended

Brunch in style @kizmetdxb @dubaiopera The brunch menu promises a little bit of everything, focusing on dishes cooked in traditional ways, inspired by the cultural melting pot of Dubai, the experience was amazing and the food was outstanding! A little about the @kizmetdxb “kiz” means fate and ‘Met’ means much, ‘destiny’ – in 14 different languages. @kizmetdxb neighborhood spot for playful cocktails, cozy interiors, personalized services and set over two floors directly adjacent to the opera house.
We tried as a starter:
*Arancini: octopus with wild rice and pistachio aioli.
*Potatoe and leek latkes: house smoked salmon with sour cream and salmon roe.
*Tuna tataki: bluefin tuna with sesame, ginger and chili.
Starters presented in a creative way and taste was simply delicious.
Mains we tried: *Tiger milk ceviche: sea bass with sweet potatoe and smoked oil
*Steak E'EGG: ribeye with sunny side up vegetables. Both plates was delicious
Dessert we tried: *Gluten free oat pancakes and *Tayaki sweet cakes:cheese, dulce de leche with coffee butter. Our advise keep space for the amazing dessert!

Best service I had in Dubai for long time, food was great, very reasonable price for good quality food, well done guys keep it up!
Next time you are going to Dubai opera pass by for a bite or drink.

If you want to try a variety of things, go hungry and go with a friend or more because the system is sharing platters. They’re very experimental in their dishes, and although some dishes were weird, they were good. I’m sure some things on the menu will be changing seeing as the place opened recently.

Staff and service is wonderful, cheery, and super helpful.


Ambience is artsy-chic meets jungle fever? Hehe, I love it.

I’d want to take this napkin home!

A concept of an aesthetic, entertaining and culinary experience all together.

Kizmet is located in the hub of the city and welcoming to everyone in all dress codes! The staff were happy to welcome us/me in gym attire and we never felt out of place for a second.

Fun menu, fun concept for ordering (pencils and sheet) and very finely decorated.

Shareable (small) portions for reasonable prices

Drinks ordered: Virgin Kiss & Fly, yummy & refreshing

Food ordered: My Girlfriend Is Not Hungry, Arancini, Aguachile, Layover In Poland

If you’re an avocado lover like I am then My Girlfriend Is Not Hungry (avocado fries) are unbelievably delicious!
Aguachile is very good, similar to a ceviche.

Must try: Girlfriend Is Not Hungry & Aguachile

Honestly, this place has really perfected it all. They’ve paid attention to all the little details, from the decor down to the fun napkins. And don’t even get me started on the food, every dish I’ve ever tried there (which is many) has been superb. It also feels like you could be in London or NYC, it’s cozy yet big enough for a decent crowd. To top it off, the bar staff and wait staff are all fantastic and super helpful. Hands down one of the best spots in Dubai.

Fantastic fantastic fantastic!
My new favourite restaurant. Perfect service, perfect food, perfect venue. Nothing else to say really! Thank you for being exactly what Dubai needs

Downtown Dubai needs another restaurant like the desert needs more sand. So every new door and menu submission for the hungry masses of Downtown is treated by me with a healthy dose of cynicism. Net, what are you bringing to the table, literally?

Kizmet is another restaurant cherry-picking dishes for sharing from a selection of international influences - South America, Middle East, Mediterranean etc - to form a very eclectic menu; one of the more interesting menus I have seen in Dubai in a very long time.

But before we talk about the food-which of course we will-firstly I wanna talk about the decor and the service. The decor is very modern with a soaring ceiling that reminds me of that scene in the old Charlie and the chocolate factory movie where they drink the fizzy lemonade and begin to float uncontrollably towards the top. Thankfully it is much easier to reach the mezzanine bar through a spiral staircase that snakes the circumference of the restaurant.

We opted to sit on the ground floor which has a curious decor not unlike something you would see in the Alserkal coupled with a more homely feel featuring heavy soft curtains reminiscent of European restaurants keeping out the draft.

The service here was impeccable and I am particular want to thank Camilla and Pearl for taking exceptionally good care of us throughout our very enjoyable dinner but In particular Pearl who has an effortless ease of navigating a menu and ushering customers towards thoroughly enjoyable choices.

HIGHLIGHTS:
- LAMB SHOULDER. This was the best dish we had in my opinion. Very tasty bite-size pieces of lamb shoulder jewelled with pomegranate seeds, and earthly warm tahini based source lifted subtly by a spinach-based purée. While this is clearly middle eastern and its influence on origins, it is a modern interpretation of a home style type dish done exceptionally well. To be honest with you we were very tempted to order a second portion.

- BONE MARROW. I cannot think of another restaurant in Dubai that has bone marrow on the menu in my experience. This match and are used ingredients was roasted and paired with puffed wild rice and slices of sourdough bread just waiting for the bone marrow to be blanket across it. The sweet meaty bone marrow benefits with the additional texture of the crunchy bread but also with the toasted puff wild rice. This is a delicious dish and again the only issue is that I didn’t order a second portion of it.

- AFFOGATO DECONSTRUCTED. This reinterpretation of a classic Italian desert was the source of playful fun that I think is often missing in the Dubai restaurant scene. At the same time it wasn’t contrived. Picture this: a ice cream shaped like a Magnum, placed inside of a small tumblr where espresso coffee is poured on top and you use the Magnum to dip inside of the coffee. This is brilliant because the coffee coffee does not melt the ice cream instantly and you get to keep enjoying the coffee flavour with every dip. The ice cream has a subtle Amaretto flavour that pays well with the sugary crunchy mini meringues that accompanied the dish. Deserts are meant to be fun and they are meant to be enjoyed and this delivers on both.

DIVIDED:
- POMELO. We were not blown away by this dish. The use of pomelo is another instance where the restaurant incorporates seldom seen ingredients into the menu, and for that congratulations. However the pairing with smoked salmon to me just does not work firstly from a textual perspective but also the pomelo fails to cut and contrast the strong oily smoked salmon in the same way that lemon juice would. For me this just does not work and by that I mean it is nearly there but it doesn’t quite make it. For transparency, the person with me loved jt. The chicory / endive provided some much needed crunchy texture.

- SCALLOP RISOTTO. The flavour of the dish worked very well and the scallops were roasted beautifully with a crunchy underside and yet tender centre. That shows good technical ability in the kitchen. However the technical ability did not carry through to the risotto. The risotto was still crunchy and therefore in my opinion undercooked. Strangely the risotto in texture came across as overcooked because it was still very stiff, it was not loose as a good risotto collapses loose on a plate after careful cooking in stock. The balance was off in the risotto while the scallop was executed very well.

The overall experience here is excellent with minor observations. It’s an exciting menu with some great options. Service is exceptional and a good wine list by the glass.

I will definitely be coming back ASAP.

What a lovely place. Food was delicious and interesting and they were wonderful hosts. We managed to break a glass and nearly impale a waitress with a chair but it didn’t even break their stride. Every member of staff was delightful and knowledgeable and each dish thoughtful, unusual and enticing. Highlight was the sea bass which we practically fought over. Thank you, Chef

I have heard a lot about this restaurant, & for good reason. The staff were super friendly, attentive, & very well informed of their own dishes. The ambience was classy, yet cosy, & the decor superb. The food was out of this world. I didn’t know what to order, because everything sounded so good. It was dish after dish, flavor after flavor. My taste buds were in heaven. I honestly can’t wait to go back, as I have a whole other side of the menu to try. Oh and did I mention that the price is super reasonable. For that quality of food & service, I thought it was incredible!

A new favorite in Dubai! Beautifully designed restaurant with super friendly staff, drinks made with lots of care, and really delicious food. Highly recommend the arancini! My husband and I were so excited to find a place that plays great music at a normal (not deafening) volume. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) لقد تأثرت حقًا بما قدمه Kizmet. حقا عجب الطهي وسماع قصتهم من الناس الذين يخدمون هناك. رؤية للجمع بين مختلف المأكولات ، وتقنيات الطهي واستخدام المكونات من منطقة معينة ، إلى كل التغطية في لوحة واحدة لمنح العملاء بعض العطور المدهشة ، فقد فعلت Kizmet ذلك بشكل مثالي. التصميمات الداخلية هادفة ، كل منها تم اختياره بشكل مثالي من قبل المبدعين في العمل. لديهم مستويين وكلا المجالين تختلف عن بعضها البعض. تم تزيين البار بالكامل وتضيف العناصر الخشبية المزيد من العظمة لهذا المكان الأنيق. وكان الحلوى تريس leches و دولسي مدار. الفن الذي يذهب إلى جعل هذه الإحساس الحلو هو الموهبة والفكر الخالص. العرض التقديمي غني والذوق لا مثيل لها. كان من الجيد حقًا سماع خادمنا جيمس ، لذلك شرح بليغاً المكونات وطرق الطبخ التي دخلت الطبق. لقد أحببنا ذلك ، كان جيمس شخصًا لطيفًا وأحب وجوده وخدمته. (التعليق الأصلي) I was truly impressed by what Kizmet had to offer. Truly a culinary wonder and hearing their story from the people who serve there. A vision to combine various cuisines, cooking techniques and use of ingredients from specific region, to all coverage in one plate to give the customers some amazing flovours, well Kizmet had done that perfectly. The interiors are purposeful, each perfectly selected by the creators of the business. They have two levels and both areas are different from each other. The bar is decked fully and the wooden elements adds more grandeur to this elegant place. The dessert was Tres leches and dulce tropic. The art that goes into making these sweet sensation is pure talent and thought. The presentation is rich and the taste unmatched. It was really nice hearing our server James, so eloquently explaining the ingredients and the cooking methods gone into the dish. We loved it, James was such a sweet guy and loved his presence and service.

(التعليق الأصلي) Beautiful little place in an amazing location with a very cosy interior. During the day it's filled with sunlight but is a great getaway from the heat. Feels like you're not in Dubai when you're inside. Great prices and very tasty food. Definitely recommend and will be back for sure.
