Delicious seafood. The lobster spaghetti is a must have!
I loved their food so much
Great Greek Gastronomy, great place at DIFC, great food and wonderful service. Strongly recommended for cosy fine dining and authentic Greek food experience.
Come for the outstanding lobster spaghetti (which is big enough to share!), great selection of salads, we particularly enjoyed the beetroot and the outstanding selection of fun cocktails!
This was my first time at Avli and it did not disappoint me at all. Tried grrek cuisine for the first time and it was fantastic. The jumbo prawns was so yummy. The restaurant is pocket friendly and the service is prompt. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
Avli is the new spot by an old favorite - Tasha’s. Tucked in the heart of DIFC’s dining scene is this nice but not pretentious bar and restaurant. I have hardly ever seen Avli quiet - it’s buzzing for lunch and dinner and especially on Thursday and Friday evenings.
The menu and decor is Greek inspired. Sadly we didn’t get to try any of the mains yet but all the appetizers barring the octopus terrine were good.
Their old fashioned is a bit watered down for my liking but the negroni was good - add to it the friendly service at the table and there is a hope for a new staple in the DIFC area.
Recommend for a drink with a date at the bar. Or for a group on their patio/terrace or their lovely sunken dining room and lounge.
Visited this place just for dessert and coffee. It's a beautiful restaurant by Tashas. Loved the small open outdoor area. Ordered the watermelon and rose dessert it was refreshing. Very pricey but worth it. The staff is extremely friendly. Recommended for occasions and meetings.
The food in Avli was amazing and definitely worth it. Lovely atmosphere, and the service was good. A great restaurant for special occasions.
Had a great gathering in the place, excellent food, service, atmosphere, location. Highly recommended
In DIFC restaurant are pretty expensive and dining is not for everyone, However Avli was an amazing experience why?
Compare to other restaurant there a management team that can solve your problem which makes a huge diference. They are all trained properly so when you arrive they take care of you with an hostess. while you wait by the bar you can enjoy some amazing cocktails from the bar and the Ambiance is great.
Lights not too bright and great. While eating you can listen to each other and have a proper dinner due to some nice music.
In terms of food everything come in a great timing my favorite is:
- starter octopus terrine and feta sagnaki
-main: grilled tiger prawn
Desert: Lemon semi freddo
Once again amazing concept and great atmosphere and awesome Management on site.
Confession: I have never progressed beyond the bar to the tables. Hence no comments on the food and only on the booze.
In love with their Signature Negroni. Fragrance and Presentation 👌👌
They also have some rare signature Greek Spirits (ask for it).
Also a top mention to the lively bartenders - always ready with an interesting conversation.
Let me tell you about my favorite Greek restaurant Avli, I visited Friday night and it was amazing: ambience, crowded bar, lovely atmosphere... we where served by Mimi who explained about menu and concept, food they are serving is full of rich flavors,amazing service and delicious dishes what else you will need on date, thank you for memorable night, we will be back for sure
It was a wonderful evening spent at Avli with my buddies. I was very impressed with the restaurant, ambiance and mostly the staff. Nutsa in particular who was our quite friendly and helpful waitress. The restaurant was quite crowded and busy. The food was great. Hats off for the chefs. I specially loved the lamb yuvetsi suggested by the waitress. My friends and I really recommend this place for dinner.
Nicely decorated place with top notch service. Our waitress was very friendly and clearly went out of her way to provide an excellent experience. The food is interesting, we had quite a few starters some of which were delicious (dessert was disappointing though). They also have a wide selection of wine, even by the glass!
Avli has a great ambience and the place had a great vibe. However the food was average or a little above average.
The food is very good, the place is very cosy and the music is waooow.
I loved the tuna tartare and most the starters. Didn’t try the mains this time but will definitely come back.
The service was perfect and the professionalism of Nawal (the manager) was amazing ! Thank you again for the beautiful experience ! Will definitely come back soon
Go for the octopus, don't stay for the dessert. The starters were delicious as were most of the mains. Wouldn't recommend the saffron pasta though. The standout dish is most definitely the octopus, grilled to perfection easily the best I've had in dubai
I'm a huge fan of both Greek food and of Tashas and Flamingo Room by Tashas. As such, Avlis by Tashas was at the top of the To-Do list.
Exec Summary: Avlis justifiably upholds the Tashas name as a top notch dining experience. While not your typical Greek food experience (it's very fine dining), the food was impeccable, the decor/atmosphere super hip and buzzing and the staff were delightful (specifically Yousef). And, surprisingly enough, given that this a DIFC restaurant, the bill came in at less than expected. Why Avlis has a 3.6/5 rating on Zomato makes no sense to me.
What we ate (all are positively delightful and strongly recommended):
1. Feta Saganaki
2. Spanakopita
3. Lamb Keftedes
4. Lamb Youvetsi
5. Wine: Two glasses of Rioja
Highly recommended. Enjoy!
I am a big fan of Tasha’s and flamingo room so really wanted to try Avli.
Go in a group so you can try the different dishes they have to offer.
Must try dishes are the zucchini carpaccio and the avli miso sea bass.
The atmosphere and service was amazing however I was not wowed by their food, like flamingo room.
The quality is really good.
Other dishes that were good too are:
Beetroot dip, sea bass carpaccio, tuna carpaccio, crab, scallops, octopus terrine, sirloin Waugh.
ingredients are super on point . I had the whole sea bass and the cheesecake and top taste . The ambiance is super relaxing and the place to be .
With good sitting arrangements so perfectly manage and serving staff are very attentive and helpful Ambience here is super awesome and have a good food
With the trend of Greek restaurants recent open in Dubai, Tasha is bringing a new lovely restaurant. The atmosphere is delightful in the evening there, a beautiful crowd mixed with the vibrant music is making the place. The interior of the restaurant is modern with Greek accent, what I really loved about the new place are the round big tables perfect for sharing the food with family and friends. The cuisine is Greek with a modern twist but for sure you will find your favorite Greek dish there. The food is delicious and I loved the eggplant millefeuille, the baked feta and the octopus dishes. I recommend this place for a lovely lunch or fun evening!
Probaply one of my favourite looking, bars in all of difc.
very pleasant atmosphere. i will definitely come for dinner sometime soon..
As it looks promising..
Perfect food, perfect vibe, great servers. Tried lots of dishes and I can’t complain about a single one. Service was top notch and the wine selection was interesting. Would definitely come here more often.
We went on a Sunday and it was not too busy. The wine selection is great, the atmosphere is very cozy but stylish and chic at the same time. The lighting is perfect for my taste. We enjoyed the food and the service. Some great options on the menu for vegetarians!
Hi, one of the great places here in UAE is Tashas restaurants, i visited Avli by Tashas and it was a great experience starting from the reception to the service and food. Liked the greek cuisine a lot. Special thanks to Medhat who took really good care of us.
Definitely will repeat the visit moreover.
Our visit to Avli in Dubai was truly a great joy to all our senses! Top notch service, all staff was super friendly and professional. The interior of the restaurant was amazing, like we’ve been moved to a lovely Greek island. Last but not least the food was the best I have eaten in years! We highly recommend Avli when visiting Dubai, you will be amazed!
Beautiful interiors, cool vibe on weekends. Good staff.
Food very delicious - greek becoming trendy and this guys doing it well with Mykonos style.
Will be back for weekend preclubbing:)
After the Peruvian wave of 2017, it’s safe to say Dubai has fallen in love with a new cuisine. That cuisine, ladies and gentlemen, is Greek. We already have Elia, Shimmers and Mythos, but now we can add to that Gaia, Ena, Ammos, Opa and Avli (aaaaand there’s more to come, apparently). It’s getting a little crowded. Avli is the first Greek restaurant we’ve taken for a spin in Dubai (save for Shimmers, which is so basic we just don’t want to even count that one) so we’re a little unsure as what to expect. We spent a good few weeks in Greece last year and from what we tasted, the magic of Greek cuisine is in the freshness of the produce and the setting. It’s rustic. How will this translate to Dubai’s high flying, high priced, high produce miles environment?
Two words, Food. Coma. Amazing. Simply amazing. Forgot the name of the cheese starter. But it was fantastic! And the Bakhlava for dessert. I rarely rate any restaurant 5 stars. But I would give it a 6 if it would be possible. Oh and the selection of wine, fantastico!! Well done guys. Well done.
Mr. Athanasios the manager at Avli by Tasha's , is the right person in the right position.
The cakes are highly recomended. (Choco. With hazelnut and the other one was with vanilla).
The place is still new but its so crowded and everyone want to try their food.
Watch out Dubai restaurants! The new Avli restaurant checks all the possible boxes you can think of!
*View - check
*Warm interior & design - check
* Mood Lighting - check
*Member lounge area- check with a urber cool name “Galaxy”
*Food Presentation - check
*Most importantly Food Taste - check check check!
I LOVE all of Tasha’s concepts, and this one was just mind blowing. A little piece of Greece in Dubai.
Tried a couple of their sharing menu items, from the appetizers to the main course and my favorite were the tiger prawns - delish!
I also absolutely enjoyed the Baklava ice cream with the sour cherries, a unique dessert and truly impressive.
