Ultimate place for Lebanon cuisine and levant cuisine in general. The time to serve is definitely long. The price of 500 ml water bottle is 11 aed or more which can’t be justified. Great place for sheesha also.

A hidden place in DIP. Always a pleasure to come back. Best grilled chicken I have ever tasted. What impresses me is staff attitude - everyone is so friendly, attentive and hospitable. They are joyous and seems like they are one big happy team.
This evening Jessa and Gouda was excellent in welcoming us and ensuring we have all we need. We were also approached by the manager (sorry, dis not get his name) who made sure we have a pleasant stay as well. Keep up the good work - we will for sure be back.

I’ve been coming to Al Hakawati in The Market DIP for a while and every time the food, the service and the soothing ambiance are on point. We ordered the Pizza with thin crust, the lamb and the chicken all of which made us lick our fingers, when it comes to service GOUDA was Excellent, he made our dinner experience all the more exciting, thank you and SARA who welcomed us in the beginning was very warm and courteous! Great job! See you again soon.

Found this hidden gem while we were looking for some place nearby to have dinner last Thursday.  The restaurant has a lovely location – it’s facing the DIP Green Community waterfront which is tucked away from the hustle n bustle. It has ample seating outside which adds to the whole experience specially when the weather is so good. This place is a must visit for sheesha lovers or for anyone who would like to enjoy a game of football.

I think the restaurant has been around for a long time now so obviously they are doing some things very right. But to us it was more about the overall experience with the welcoming staff who were always attentive and willing to help. From the time we walked in, Jessa was the perfect host - showing us a comfortable non-smoking area inside and patiently explaining the menu with all the options available.  
We ordered the Chicken n mushroom Pizza (which was nice and had loads of melted cheese), Boneless grilled chicken & Taouk Brochette with French fries and Pasta. The food was quick to arrive and very tasty. The breads were fluffy, fresh and hot. Jessa and Weam came to our table several times to enquire about the food and if anything was required. We finished the dinner with some Moroccan Tea (which we later realized was complimentary when the bill arrived :-) )
We couldn't be any happier with our experience and will definitely recommend it for families with young kids. It was our first time here and it was amazing. Hope to come back again.

I visited the place with a few friends for lunch and sheesha. The food is great and the ambiance is wonderful. The location is at the waterfront which adds to the whole experience.
We ordered hakawati special grill, unfortunately i couldnt take any pictures but trust me the kababs and lamb cubes are a treat. The serving size gives you good value for money.
Overall the experience was good and is surely recommended

Got here at 10pm. Very few tables occupied outside with people smoking sheesha. We went inside to the non smoking area and ate there. Ordered falafel, grilled halloumi & cumin tea.. Pretty good and flavourful. Their service has improved clearly over the past year or so after facing stiff competition.. Can visit for a good Arabic meal

Tried Al Hakawati Grill Platter and Meat Hummus. Both were very delicious and grilled to perfection. Staff was very friendly, food came right on time, we didn’t wait long. Al Hakawati also serves sisha for sisha lovers and has a very nice outside seating facing to the Green Community Lake. I’ll definitely come again to try the other dishes as well..

Fancy a casual lunch while on break well go to hakawati that’s the best place to be!
Great ambiance, tasty food and friendly staff.
Prefect value for lunch/shisha meal.
Huge variety of food options with daily dishes that vary from oriental to European! I highly recommend this place even for a casual outing at night with a great view over the lake. At last their Moroccan tea is to die for all I can say is Alf sahtein

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) الطعام لطيف ولكن الكمية منخفضة جدًا بالنسبة للسعر. جربنا طبق الشاورما ، مشاوي مشكلة ، روبيان ، سندويتش كباب مشوي ، مناقيش ومشويات مشكلة. كان كل شيء على ما يرام باستثناء المناقيش. أنا لا أحب الجمبري ولكن أصدقائي بدا أنهم يحبونه. فى المجمل تجربة جيدة. (التعليق الأصلي) Food is nice but the quantity is quite low for price. We tried the shawarma platter, mixed grill, shrimps, grilled kebab sandwich, manakesh, and mixed grill. Everything was good except for the manakesh. I don't like shrimps but my friends seemed to like it. Overall a good experience.
