One of my favorite restaurants. For those of you unfamiliar with Arabic food, the “biryani” is not a South Asian biryani but more like kabsa or machboos. It is still quite tasty! Great view of the fountains at Dubai Mall. My family often rave about their Sultan Ibrahim fish but I personally am not too fond of the way they cook it as I like our homemade version more. Service is very good despite the crowd but staff need to ask before taking a plate or bread basket away instead of assuming that we are done and waste food.
Hello Wafi , Is there any way we can reserve a table prior?
I am planning to travel Dubai soon and look forward to make prior reservations...
Kindly let me know...I would want the following reservation :
Date - 17th January
Time - Lunch @ 1.00pm
Person - 3
Seating - Outdoor
Like to hear asap from you.
Thank you
Very positive ambiance, friendly staff, service is good, got chicken tawook it was amazing, also they have seating outside with amazing view.
I must honestly admit, it had been a while that I had such a tasty and enjoyable lunch on my own.
First of all the view from the terrace on Burj Khalifa is unbeatable, but overall the restaurant really ticks all the boxes when it comes to dining:
+ Very friendly and attentive staff
+ Price/quality is spot on
+ Enormous choice of dishes
+ Very, very fresh and tasty food
- Only negative point for me was the fact that the grill only opened at 12h15. have to take that in mind for next time. Nevertheless, food wise I was more than satisfied with taste, quality and freshness!
Definitely will be coming back one day, after 12h15, hehe!
came here the other day with a friend. The waiter was very lovely and nice, making sure we were comfortable and well looked after. i ordered the lamb shawarma plate which was nice but the meat was a bit dry and a bit too citrusy. that could just be a personal preference but yeah all in all i enjoyed my experience
Went for team lunch with office colleagues. Great place to have Labenese Cusinie in Dubai Mall. Wide variety of dishes. It's located on ground floor near entrance of Burj Khalifa tour.
We ordered Hummus, Moutabel, Baba Ghanouj, Falafel, Tabbouleh, Potato cubes, Grilled Halloumi Cheese. They serve these with breads (Kabous)
The service was quick.
The food was tasty and great quality.
They even brought cake to celebrate the birthday with the bday song.
Awesome place to visit.
Wafi Gourmet is not just a restaurant experience. They offer a wide range of delicious, and nutritious products. They bring the taste of Lebanon to Dubai. A wide selection of foreign sweets is available as well.
With regards to the restaurant, I visited them recently in the Dubai Mall branch. The menu options will simply get you lost by how rich they are!!
I tried many dishes and they all tasted good, of course a few enhancements could be made to a few of them. The Sejouk is amazingly delicious, and very generous on the Pomegranate Sauce.
The staff are very professional and always around. The view is towards the breathtaking fountain which makes the whole experience really satisfying.
Wafi Gourmet wow. One of the best place to have Arabic food with a beautiful view of Burj khalifa and fountain show. Had the open chicken shawarma and Zaater Manaakesh which was too sour.

Having a grilled Shish Tawouk while watching the Dubai Mall Fountains should be on a bucket list for dining with a view.
Wafi Gourmet not only offers a spectacular view of the fountains and Burj Khalifa, but they also have delicious food to go with that view.
Located on the ground floor of Dubai Mall, you cannot miss the huge logo while walking past it. One of the first things you will notice is the seating area. They have a dining area just at the entrance of the restaurant, the main area inside the restaurant and finally the outdoor dining area which offers the view.
I have been here quite a few times and its always been a delightful experience when it comes to food. An all-time favourite is the Shish Tawouk. It was well seasoned and grilled to make the meat absolutely tender. The fattoush is always fresh and the pomegranate sauce is tangy as ever. If you have a taste for tangy dishes, you must definitely try this one. We also tried the Okra which is ladyfinger cooked in tomatoes and garlic and served cold. It's packed with flavour and its not spicy at all.
Being such a popular place, the restaurant is always packed. Hence you will always see the staff on the move juggling the orders and plates. Due to this factor, the service can be slow sometimes. Nonetheless, the servers are polite and courteous.
The pricing is good for the portions offered. Overall a wonderful place for casual dining.
an amazing place
their food is the best in town buuttttt the price is very very very expensive making
i tend to take sandwiches away as its amazing
their kunafa is awesome
in fact i love the food but i feel like paying extra money whenever i go there
One of the best grills in town, the salad display looks fresh and yummy, and a lot of retail items that you can take with you home after your meal.
Quality: 5
Quantity: 3
Value: 4

Ambiance: 4
Not your best lebanese restaurant but one of the place you’d definitely recommend for those who would like to experience a good authentic lebanese food. Their wafi mall branch is more appealing tho.
We ordered a lot of food as we wanted to try a bit of everything that they had. The kebab platter was good and so was the shawarma plate. Hummus and bread was the best among the rest. Hummus bread and the kebabs went together really well. The taste was good.
The salad might have been authentic but it did not suit my taste as it had a lot of vinegar to it.
The location is amazing. You have the fubai fountain right next to you so in the evening you can enjoy the show while you have your dinner.
The baklava is the most amazing of this place. Being allergic (luckily not deathly) to nuts they gave one's with least of pistachio and oh my the rose water hidden in them exploded immediately at the first bite
This is one of the best place in Dubai Mall for great vegetarian Lebanese food. Beautiful views, friendly staff and great food ! Always love to dine in here while in dubai mall for shopping !
I would like to start by saying that they have a very fast service and attentive staff. The food is tasty with fresh ingredients and my best dish was Fatteh Makdoos must try! @thecutleries
Been there a few times! Great place to take visitor to try some Arabic food while enjoy the fountain show and Burj Khalifa . I strongly recommend although is not the cheapest after all you have the views!!
Best place to eat with the view of dubai fountain. Food is bit expensive but it is worthy to have. I usually order their lemon mint juice and sheesh tawook with hot bread and garlic sauce. Its amazing.
Of course 5, for the taste, ambience, service. If you are dining here take the table outside for fountain and Burj lighting view. taste was really one of its kind. Different from the normal Lebanese restaurants. Loved and enjoyed every bite
Wafi Gourmet is known for it's authentic Lebanese food & has always been one of our favourite restaurants in Dubai! Go here for the Muhallabia if nothing else! Best one I've ever tried in the whole of Dubai!
A nice Lebanese restaurant with good ambience where we tried hummus with tahina, kabab bakhtiyari and chicken biryani. The food was fresh and sumptuous and the staff was courteous enough. Value for money was just perfect.
Wafi Gourmet whips up some pretty authentic Lebanese food. Being a vegetarian I can only speak for their veg options - and all of them are yummy! Be it the hummus, saaj bread, sambusek with cheese, vine leaves, Fried zucchini, salads or moussaka— I like them all ! The mousakka and fried zucchini is a must try at wafi. The restaurant overlooks the Dubai Fountain which is pretty great ! It’s a bit expensive but worth it for a hearty and filling meal !
The restaurant is a bit tightly packed so when it’s a full house it can feel quite cramped. Must try in Dubai !!
It’s good to try this perfect kitchen it’s fresh & tasty food and also service is amazing special thanks to Mostafa and Ahmed ( managers ) there coz they visit our table many time to make sure everything is ok .
Thanks again and keep up
All time favourite . Grills and desserts are outstanding . A take away shawarma option is also available at a reasonable price . Location is perfect .
One of their best locations, this outlet is in Dubai mall with an outdoor that faces the fountains so its the perfect place to take visitors to get views of DM fountains and Burj Khalifa while enjoying some authentic lebanese food. Service was a bit slow but food was excellent. Their muhamara was one of the best ive had.
Amazing view ..great location next to burj khalifa and the fountain
In addition they serve delicious lebanese food and the service is quick
Recommended
This was a regular place to eat at when in Dubai.
No visit was complete without enjoying the freshness of authentic Lebanese / Arabic food.
Always to order were the Mixed Grill (Grilled Lamb chunks & Chops, Chicken Sheesh Taouk, Mince Lamb Koftas, all served on a special seasoned flat bread).
The meal was not complete without Mezze' of Freshly Oven baked Flat bread, served with Hummus, Tabuleh, Rice and meat wrapped in Wine leaves. The place does not serve alcohol like most reatuarnts, however with food this good, alcohol was not missed.
The gourmet is very nice. You should try the ample options of various dates and chocolates on.offer here. Though a little pricey, it is worth trying tbe options here.
Delicious food. Mixed gourmet and msaa’a are the supers. Slow service ltl bit when it’s crowded but overall it was great experience 💙recommended
One of the best Hummus i had in UAE its a must try place you will love it.
The staff is really very nice n help full n the location is next to the fountain.

One of the best food experiences I've ever had.
The food was simply amazing.
The staff were awesome and their service is really good.
I loved the ambience and the decor.
Must haves-
Hummus
Halumi
Fatush
Spicy potato
Halumi wrap
Authentic lebanese food and as close to home food as it gets. Great shawarma too. Their prices have unfortunately gone up and I find it more expensive than other lebanese restaurants. Try the "petits fours" - biscuits from their bakery as well as the dried fruits.
No onions and garlic paste
Also find me on Instagram as @carochiclife 😍
We decided to try Wafi Gourmet for Iftar after hearing a lot about the place. It lived up to the expectations, the food is tasty, the side dishes were abundant and delicious, although the buffet was scarce on variety, it was good, the location in my opinion is the highlight of this lebanese restaurant, if you are able to sit outside as we did, you will have "floor-seats" for the Burj Khalifa and the dancing fountains.

Wafi Gourmet serves delicious Lebanese food, but, the kind of food that is available in Lebanese restaurants all over Dubai. Nothing new, original or different here....Not to say that this takes away from the quality of their food in any way, I simply mean that there is nothing new or original here.
That said, what they do they do well.....which is a good variety of hot and cold mezze, kebabs and superb desserts. Come here for lunch, it is less crowded, less nosiy and the service is more attentive. The restaurant is huge and the tables are spread out. There is both indoor and outdoor seating; outdoor seating is preferable in the evenings when it is cooler and offers a beautiful view of the fountains.
Service is friendly, professional and quick, but definitely slows down when the restaurant is full (dinner time).
Do try the different fresh, thick and sweet fruit juices such as the guava, strawberry and pineapple. Sample the delicious mezze such as the Tabbouleh, Fried Cheese Rolls, Hommos, Spinach cooked in olive oil, Green Beans cooked in olive oil, Fried Zucchini, Fried Cauliflower, Grilled or Fried Halloumi etc etc...the list goes on. Save room for delicious dessert such as a plate of assorted baklava, ousmaliyeh (crunchy, fried vermicelli and ashta, served with sugar syrup) or the Taj al malika (pistachio dough filled with ashta).
Come to Wafi Gourmet for delicious but generic Lebanese mezze.
Have been coming to this place regularly for more than 5 yrs and i could say surely that the quality of all services had a major downfall..the service, amount of food and side dishes and staff's attitude were so much better in the past...
the best Lebanese restaurant in town ....must try ! their mezza is by far the best ive tried in Dubai....the service is amazing as well ....
Another Lebanese concept located in front of Dubai fountain with a full view of burj Khalifa.
Authentic Lebanese menu selection with good food and friendly service.
The shop interior is traditionally Arabic style with wooden and marble finished walls. Elegant and attractive.
What is special about this place is it marketing space; you can buy almost all Lebanese items from fresh olives, olive oil, rose water, pomegranate and many many more with reasonable prices and great quality.
The homemade Arabic desserts are as well a great value which is always available and fresh.
Value for money is great for the quality provided.
Looking to enjoy a Lebanese food, this place should be included in your list of favorites.
The best restaurant in Dubai mall with the amazing meze and the best grill meat in town.You can as well enjoy a amazing place in front the lovely fountain..
Nice place to enjoy dinner with family . The terrace view and seats to burj Khalifa and the fountain will let you seat the whole evening . Delicious food
Definitely enjoyed my lunch after shopping! The view outside is breathtaking, we were seated in front of the fountains just beneath the Burj Khalifa. Always A-Class seats, good service and good food at the Dubai Mall Wafi Gourmet.
Their Hummus is so creamy and light, nothing like I have ever tried before! Their Mouhammara is a must try as well, you can definitely taste the walnuts and chilli in there. They have a nice mezza selection and I recommend all of these: Tabboule, hindbe, warak arish (stuffed vine leaves), grilled aucra with tomato sauce, fattouch and batata harra! (All vegetarian options)

“To open a shop is easy, to keep it open is an art.”
Restaurant with great atmosphere, great location, great cuisine and great team.
Besides quite diverse dine-in menu, place offers take away dishes (ready to eat), dates, nuts and spices for sale.
Management and stuff are super friendly and really do their best to satisfy the customers.
Good bonus - you can enjoy spectacular fountains show.
The only disappointment - shisha which is not the best in the city, but there’s always a room for improvement
We have eaten here several times before, but this time around both the food and the service were average. Good view of the fountain nevertheless.
Facing Dubai Fountains and Souq Al Bahar and next to Burj Khalifa , its placed at an amazing location .
The restaurant offers nice ambience and great sitting space .
The food is quite good and the view makes it even better .
Manakeesh and Falafal are my fav. dishes here .
Must try !!

We visited here on a Thursday evening with a group of friends. The place was crowded but they still managed it quite well even though things were not very fast. We ordered a mix of mezes hummus, moussakka, babagannouj and stuffed vine leaves. Moussakka was one of the best I tasted in Dubai. Main course was mixed grill with shish taouk, meat cubes and kebab. All was delicious. If you are OK with crowd and if you are not in a rush, this place may be a good option to choose.
One of the best restaurants for Lebanese food ... best part is the bread hummus and kebabs .... the garlic paste and chilli is the best side dish to enhance the taste ... lovely food with beautiful view
A place I always take my friends to when they visit me in Dubai. The food is always like promised to be up to standard. The price equal quality, so I won't mind paying more for tasty food.
The hummus with tahina is the best I had in Dubai. The freshly made bread was warm & fluffy, together with the creamy dippings was a explosion of flavours with freshness and delight.
The fattoush was also very good, the crunchiness of the fried bread made a great texture.
Overal a really nice visit.
Whenever my family visits from India, we visit Wafi Gourmet, we all absolutely love the food here.
The one dish that they must have is the Mutton Mandi. It is a delicious dish that all meat and biryani lovers must try. In fact most of the times they run out of Mandi due to such high demand for it. We normally order this with the basics: Fattoush, Hummus, Baba Ganoush, Toum and a meat platter. These dishes are tasty but not very unique. However you must try this place at least once.
The service is very friendly and the decoration is beautifully extravagant, you get the feel of an old Arab spice market, when you enter. There are different sections for different types of food. One section has a bakery for Turkish delights and dried fruit. One has a sections of sacks filled with different kinds of nuts and olives, one has fresh fish and lastly one has homemade ice-cream. All of these items are freshly made and available for sale. Overall this is a great place to go to.
Located glamorously in front of Water fountain with view of Burj Khalifa in Dubai Mall is enough for a restaurant to attract couples looking for Romantic Dinner. With such perfect ambience next up is the food, service and price. In Wafi Gourmet's case the, service is good, price is decent and the food is also tasty. So Wafi Gourmet in Dubai Mall is a good place for couples, friends, families to spend some good
time. There is no reservations in this restaurant and it's first come first served so there will be some waiting time to get a table. I went for Valentine's day dinner with wife and had a nice time.
Best food ever🌹. Whatever I have ordered has been one of the most delicious meal every single time. I seriously suggest that everyone should try this place
Our favourite outlet for Arabic cuisine - have visited both the outlets at dubai mall and wafi mall a few times. Good food snd efficient service always.
Definitely among (if not "the") best of Lebanese cuisine available in Dubai. Anyone with a discerning tongue will quickly identify the attention paid to the use of fresh produce. Hands down they make a superior Hommos than is readily available even in other restaurants of the same class. Interestingly I find the food at the Downtown branch trumps similar items ordered in the other two Wafi Gourmet branches. If you want a fountain view on a busy night you'll have to turn up early as you may need to put your name down on a list and they won't take bookings over the phone.
Food was as expected but a little pricey.. Mix fruit cocktail was tasty.. All in all good experience.. We had to request for hot khaboos which is one reason one visits such outlets..
Fantastic place to sit outdoors specially in this season,
Enjoy the food the view of fountain and Khalifa...
D rite place for wafi food lovers.
Some Waiters r realy not so frendly. You have to ask one thing again n again unless u wil gt it.
My first encounter with Wafi Gourmet happened several years back while they had a branch at Dubai Festival City (DFC). And I immediately fell for their pita bread and hommos (quite often spelled hummus). Authentic Lebanese food is what they promised and seemingly delivered. After that closed up with mall renovations, we discovered this branch on the lower ground floor at The Dubai Mall and have frequented it since. The previous spot was more spacious and quieter, located beside DFC’s boardwalk. Personally, I feel that – being less busy there – more attention seemed to be given to the food. Not to say that Dubai Mall’s branch is anything close to below par, but it just felt less rushed and more enjoyable in terms of flavour at the former.
I like to visit Wafi Gourmet when ever I pass by Dubai Mall, the biscuits are great, an an espresso is essential from Wafi Gourmet.
The food are delicious and Authentic Lebanese.
This is a great location @ the fountain facing burj
Food is good BUT I'm disappointed with the service.
I would request them to improve their service !!!
A good management leads to perfect results I like how the staff are well trained we enjoyed the daily dishes as well as a la carte variety. At wafi gourmet you find all what you are looking for presents, they have a wide variety of sweet options I just like it.
Nice place with excellent views. If the weather is good try and sit outside. The food is excellent and a little pricey but fully worth it! Great for families and groups.
A good Arabic food experience for lunch. The appetisers of Hammous and Mutabbal were absolutely tasty. Unfortunately we also wanted to order Spice Fish but they had discontinued. We chose an alternate of Hindbeh which to our surprise was also discontinued. Can't understand why they couldn't remove from the menu. So we just ended up with the above two which were served with freshly baked bread.
The mains of chicken shawarma plate, Kabab Kubeidah, chicken wings and Gourmet mixed grill were all good to very good.
We also did a takeaway of their Baklava which was okay too.
I think the overall food was enjoyable and the service was efficient.
However I also think it's very overly priced. Especially I noted that takeaway prices for food is generally less by 20-25%.
Located in the lower ground floor of the Dubai Mall and ideally situated in front of the famous fountain, I got a table facing the water and the show was going on which was thrilling to watch.
After a day spent nibbling I wasn't keen on a big dinner so ordered hummus. Velvety and creamy with chickpeas strewn on top flecked with a touch of rich olive oil served with hot pita breads. Two came first in a basket and before I knew it, they disappeared into my mouth - each bite a revelation. It seeed that other versions of hummus were just not as tasty. As soon as the last bite of the second pita was eaten, more hot puffed ones appeared in another basket. Yum!
On the way out, I picked up a few cookies to have later with tea.
A lot of the food is meant to be taken home like a variety of dates, assorted olives and a ton of nougat.
مطعم لبناني، مكان جميل وواسع. الأسعار أعلى من المعتاد ولكنها معقولة بحسب طبيعة المكان.
