I was in Dubai with a group of friends and we decided to have lunch in Ahwak. I loved the ambiance of this restaurant which is friendly and relaxing. The only problem here were the seats as I felt a little uncomfortable.
Talking about the food we ordered both hot and cold appetizers. We tried their fattoush, Tabuleh, moutabal, chicken liver, makanek, wine leaves. The salads were salad fresh and tasty and hot appetizers were delicious as well.
In the main course we went for the usual mix grill with the garlic sauce which went well together. The meat was soft, juicy and nicely done. The highlight of our main course was the bread which was fresh and hot direct from the oven. It smells and tastes great.
We also ordered fresh juices. The mixed pomegranate and strawberry juice was yummy as well.
The place is friendly and recommended to visit with friends and family

I have a lot of mixed feelings about this place. It is that rare occasion where the restaurant gets a decent rating despite the service being borderline unwelcoming.
It's got really cute decor, modern with a hint of tradition, delicious food, AMAZING fresh bread, but confused servers who are also not that interested really. The restaurant was almost empty as we went for lunch on a weekday but the servers were in a real hurry to take away the menu, despite asking to keep one (which they returned in 10 minutes to take away), or taking away our plates..even though there was still food on it, and that was unpleasant. It took two minutes to explain what I was asking for when I wanted Tahina, and eventually I was told that it is a paid side, which was unusual. So, even though I really liked the food, I'm not sure if I'll go again.
We ordered:
Hommos
Spicy potatoes
Falafel platter
Cheese feha (not sure on the exact name)
We didn't find manakesh on the menu, but upon asking the server if the serve manakesh, and after decoding what seemed like a very unsure answer, we ordered something called cheese feha (I'm still not sure how to pronounce it right), which is a slightly modified version of manakesh, and I really liked it.
Also, their falafel tastes a bit different than usual, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but my taste buds are too used to a particular flavor that comes to mind whenever you think of falafel in the UAE.
The food is fantastic, I really would love to come back again. The prices are average. Atmosphere is so good like your enjoying and dining in Beirut. Staff are friendly.
The fooooooood is so good and it deserve each dirham you spent.
Keep it this way.
Bread; delicious and awesome, its freshly made and keeps on coming. We had the hammous set with meat within them as appetiser. Then we ordered the jumbo prawns, veal grill, grill set and lamb cutlets. All were really good. If i remember correctly, Ms. Janice helped us out with the orders and were quick and professional. The location is really nice, parking availability might get a bit tricky, but if u are lucky then its all good. Overall experience was really good and made our afternoon even better.

Ahead has a very high end decor which sets the ambiance right. Serving your favorite Lebanese dishes with great aplomb and a contemporary take on the traditional dishes. Located conveniently at a corner of Box Park, and with ample parking one can enjoy a hearty meal.

Went here on a Saturday evening in October. The weather has just started getting nice so the open seating in Box park is becoming popular and this place is nice.
Coming to the restaurant itself - in short, would give the food 4.3 and 2.5 on service.
They of is well flavored and not just meat like a lot of Arabic food these days. Shish tawouk needs a special shout.
The service being rated poorly is more a reflection of how few waiters are on duty and having to service the restaurant that is having continuous footfall.
Beautiful food. We went for the humous with meatballs for started served with fresh warm bread it was lovely this was our first time to try meat with humous and we really enjoyed it. We went for the taouk platter and kebab platter both were great it's not very often that you find chicken taouk that isn't overly dry, this was cooked to perfection. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. We will definitely return to try more.
I was not interested to try the restaurant however once i gave it a try i was so happy to be there .. the food is good as well as the service ... location is perfect as well .. recommended!!
