Reviews ‪omnia By Silvena‬

مطعم رائع بأجواءه وأطباقه ومناسب جداً للذواقة ممن يحبون المذاق الأوروبي والإبتكارات الجديدة ، اما من يحبون المأكولات التقليدية فلا أنصح بزيارتهم

When you enter omnia in downtown you get lost in the beautiful calligraphy by the famous elseed! Mesmerized by the decor and the creative glass wall kitchen. The menu was a bit strange, but the chef is famous for her emarati twist, so tried a couple of dishes, you can taste the freshness of the ingredients. My personal favorite was the king prawn hummus! Just wow! Sadly the portions were very small, even for fine dinning and a bit overpriced for a downtown restaurant. I would totally be back again especially for the desserts

I've tried Omnia gourmet before and I wanted to try Omnia by silvena so badly. I had many expectations since it is located in the boulevard. Okay, so the restaurant was nearly empty (I don't know why). The interior design was a masterpiece. It was decorated with Arabic words and roses. I really LOVE the interior 🌹🌸

Coconut 🍈and zaatar chicken lollipops: wasn't so oily like other chicken lollipops. It's taste was good but with a twist of coconut. 4/5

Prawns: 🍤The prawns lollipops had a twist in it. It was dipped in a green sauce that much likely was avocado. It was delicious. The prawns were cooked perfectly and didn't seem oily at all. 4.5/5

Omnia Caesar salad: This is my second favorite ceaser salad. My first is from switch restaurant in Dubai mall. It was so so fresh, it was so good. 4.5/5


Mac and cheese: 🍝This mac and cheese with lobster wasn't very satisfying. The ingredients all showed up in the dish and I tasted all the seasoning. My only problem was that it was too cheesy for me personally which made me eat not even half the dish. 2.5/5

Hind cocktail🍹: This cocktail is virgin. It has passion fruit, mint, and watermelon. It was so refreshing especially in this humid weather. The presentation of the drink was stunning too. I would totally order it again if I pass by the restaurant in the future. 5/5

Zaatar organic chicken🍗: this should be boneless, it is so tasty. The zaater sauce was so NOT heavy. It's so organic and its recommended for all of you dieters out there. 4/5

24k Omnia golden sphere🍫🍫: you want chocolate with a twist. Try this dessert plzzz. Dark chocolate and raspberries!! This is so delicious , SO delicious. If you are craving for chocolate overdose, this dish is a MUST. And yeah, it is worth 59DHS!! 5/5

Dubai rose: This dish was basically a tiny chocolate cake with raspberry ice cream on top. The tiny cake was surrounded with pink petals that would simultaneously fall down when the waiter would pour hot white chocolate. That chi chocolate cake is A-MAZING!! It's so delicious you'll finish the whole thing without even noticing. The cake's end would be hot from the hot chocolate poured on it like a molten cake. It's so worth the try. 5/5


Service: 3.5/5
Portions: 4.5/5, the desserts' portions are quite small.
Overall impression: 4/5
Price: 3.5/5, a bit pricy

This restaurant by Silvena Rowe should be rated on two separate fronts. The artistic delivery and perfection and taste. On both fronts it's an absolute winner for me. Every single dish has an element of surprise, from ingredients to design. This will be a real regular for me. A gem of a place 👍

The food, the staff, the decor.. Everything was amazing!

It was a lovely experience we had there in Omnia.

The desserts' potion was smaller than we imagined, but yet nice and delightful 😊❤️️

Definitely, there'll be a next visit... 👍🏼

Great, quite and superb atmosphere. Nice collection of sweet. Dubai rose was good but pistachio n pistachio was awesome. It was really nice experience 🍰💖

A very sophisticated and beautiful place to dine in. Has great variety of signature dishes, being my personal favourite the Dubai Rose is enriched with fantastic flavours at every bite.
The ambience is amazing and the staff is very helpful and friendly, highly recommend this place.
Giving a rating of 4/5 because of the price efficiency.

The food here is great but it is pretty similar to the menu Silvena's two other restaurants serve in Jumeira at a much lower price point. What makes this branch stand out though is the drinks menu. The drinks are out of the ordinary and are mixed with non-conventional ingredients. Something I really wanted to try was the cheesecake cold coffee. I am going go back for that, the food not so much. Nothing against the food, however, given the wealth of restaurants in the same area I can find similar food at more suitable price points.

The desserts are more for show than for eating. My friend had ordered a Dubai Rose which is an off the menu dessert where a piece if cake is encased in a pink claw-like cage which opens up when hot condensed milk is poured. Contrarily, another friend ordered a dessert simply named Ricotta which had a lovely purple color palette about it and looked like a wild forest. It was light and delish.

I've heard a lot about this place, not recommendations per say but all the talk definitely made me want to check the place out.

It has spin on Middle eastern cuisine that is different but keeps to the basics, doesn't try to deconstruct nor does it try to move too far away from it's basics.

The mock tails. This place has absolutely no alcohol but in return their mock tails are unlike any I have ever tasted. Generally fruit juices at places that serve alcohol I've found to be below par but over here, I actually sampled the entire signature menu of mock tails, they were that good.

From the Spirit of Dubai downwards on the menu, they're all freshly made and no added sugars. It's practically a highlight and worth water taking a side seat. There isn't a single one that I couldn't not recommend, I'd have to say you should at least have one of each but again, your waiter can recommend what mock tail to go with what dish. A more lighter refreshing one for desserts with a hint of spice whilst a slightly more fruity and with a side of dragon fruit to begin the evening.

Starters

The foie gras creme brûlée for example is an amazing dish on its own with flavours that are not over powering or rich and its texture is just right to go with the side of bread that comes with the dish.

Hummus and prawns is a great dish but I do feel it was a bit strange. The hummus itself taste fantastic and the prawns too but I personally didn't feel like I could taste and understand why they were put together. It is a dish I would order again but only if I was craving some hummus.

The tuna tartar with the wafers is a beautifully presented dish. Taste wise it's certainly on point, fresh and bursting with flavour without being overly fishy. The dish as a whole I feel is relatively small portion but more than likely that's because I enjoyed it so much.

Main course

I chose the 12hr cooked lamb. I'm a massive fan of lamb especially done with long cooking periods, they tend to have such amazing flavour bursting through them with such a tenderness the lamb practically falls apart in your mouth as the flavours themselves come alive. This however is nothing like that. Although yes it is amazingly tender I didn't feel it was worth the price nor the lack of flavour. I've had lamb cooked for 12hrs before that had such amazing flavour and I was thankful in this instance to have ordered side dishes to go along with the lamb as those helped aid in the taste department.

The potato mash truffle is equally an incredible dish that keeps to the idea of mash potatoes and looks very similar to just plain creamy mash but is so light and fluffy. It tastes incredible and entirely worth the side order.

The triple cooked fried in olive oil however was my only downer. I am more keen towards fries that are not crunchy nor have the taste of potato almost muted by the over cooking. At least that's what it was like to me and some pieces I felt were way over cooked but I suspect it's meant to be that way as when I asked about the idea, it wasn't suppose to be like you're regular fries, slightly hard exterior, wonderfully soft inside bursting with taste that makes you want to just eat the fries basket alone. No, this is quite the opposite and I personally cannot recommend it.

Take a step towards the desserts and there was a few lessons I learnt. If you have a craving for chocolate, enjoy rich chocolate flavours and want an amazing looking piece of dessert in front of you, this is totally the place for that.

The sphere dessert is great. I wouldn't say perfect because as much as I love chocolate this is a dish best shared as it is rich beyond measure. The melting of the sphere mixed with passion fruit flavours to help break up the richness is certainly something to try but it was a bit much.

The Dubai rose, a dessert that at the time when I went wasn't on the menu is entirely worth it. Worth it in the sense of taste but I do feel like I wish it was much larger in portion. It wasn't over powering in taste, the fruit did a fantastic job of breaking up the flavours of chocolate and the sauce whilst the general presentation is worth pulling your camera out.

Overall Omnia had great service and whilst I feel it was a bit pricey I do believe that as a one off experience it's worth the visit. However, I would most definitely visit again for the starts and the Dubai rose.

Went there at 12:30 p.m to celebrate the start of the spring break. I've heard that they have valet parking but when I reached I didn't find anyone, so I called and they told me it starts from 6 p.m. However I parked behind the clarens tower.
The place is well decorated. I loved the interior so much. The place was completely empty and we were the only ones. We were seated and the menu was served. We ordered Passion Fruit Lollipop and Dubai Rose. *It's actually the reason why I came here.* For drinks I ordered Hind and my sibling went for apple juice.
First, the desserts were served then the drinks. Dubai Rose tastes as beautiful as it looks like, and I see that it's good for 2 to share because it's a little heavy even tho it looks small. The Passion Fruit Pop is just a cream covered with sugar, nothing special about it tastes. Although it looks good. In addition, all the drinks were fresh, the apple juice was regular while Hind tastes heavenly.
No need to say that the staffs were friendly and welcoming when we first entered and the service was fast.
Finally, I think i'm gonna go back there to have lunch/dinner. And I highly recommend Dubai Rose dessert. You won't regret it and I heard it's limited edition btw.

(A vegetarians point of view)

I was ecstatic after receiving an invitation to chef silvenas new venture; Omnia. It's a fine dining restaurant serving modern takes on Arabic and international cuisines. It is established on the majestic sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid boulevard.

As you enter leaving the busy streets behind, you are transported into a flamboyant and stunningly lavish setting. Theres a masterful artistic graffiti displaying a quote from the Quran relating to healthy food spread through about two floors of an entire wall. The restaurant has been equipped with a beautiful collection of furnishings and you dine with gold plated cutlery. There's also a private high risen "diamond table" offering personalized service by the superstar herself.

Another distinctive feature of Omnia is the two storey glass faced kitchen, where the upper section is dedicated to pastry and cold servings while the lower is where all the hot dishes are prepared.

Service here is fit for a king. The attendants are at your service at any given time and are omniscient with the complete menu and even singular ingredients.

They have a fair selection of vegetarian dishes on their menu. I started with the young coconut pad Thai. A well presented dish with a creative twist to the regular. Nurtured with coconut and with this amazing almond and chili sauce, the dish tasted absolutely phenomenal.

Then walked in the risotto. Amber colored with saffron and bubbling coconut scented foam, I was astounded with what was brought in front of me. Never have I tried a risotto which such a unique combination of ingredients, every bite was like an adventure. The foam was sweet which was excellent on the whole with the first few bites, but I later swept aside a bit to indulge myself with the core of the beautiful risotto. Excellent!

Now during the course of my meal, I saw servers walking around pouring liquid chocolate on a plate consisting of a circular object. The 24K Omnia sphere. A grandiose dish with a spherical shaped praline crunch sprinkled with edible gold. The server pours the hot chocolate shattering the perfectly shaped sphere exploiting the passion fruit cream that lies hidden underneath. Sweet chocolate, a hint of sour with the passion fruit and crunchy pralines. It tasted just like the presentation, fantastic!

Being a die hard fan of the cheesecake at Omnia Gourmet, I knew I had to try it out here. I couldn't have imagined her top that off, but extra fresh raspberries and with a sorbet on the side it worked out to be an excellent addition which made this taste even better than the one served there!

Leaving aside the exceptional food this fine dining eatery is really expensive, you are no doubt being provided with the finest produce and the freshest of ingredients, but the prices of some options are exorbitant.

"You are what you eat" is something Silvena highly believes in, and after eating here it is pretty clear that you are simply amazing!

مطعم راقي وهادئ و الاكل والحلى كان لذيذ
