An ideal place to hangout with friends and family over dinner. Nestled in the heart of #dubaimarina , @manoushewnos thrives to serve us the best #lebanese & #arabic cuisine with a twist as we take in the stunning views of the #jbrskyline & #marina . You can also unwind & relax by the lake , while little ones can burn energy in the play area right in front of the restaurant.

What I ordered:
Quinoa salad
Oreo shake
Passion fruit ,pineapple mojito- highly recommended.
Akkawi cheese saj
Turkey ham pizza -the best 10/10
Hotdog pizza

Slightly hidden place. Shisha varieties are limited but the quality is good. Not very crowded, maybe because the shisha areas are very bright. Not to be missed - Falafel plate with the Piping hot Lemon mint tea or Lavazza Double espresso

Lovely place newly decorated with some funny old Lebanese jokes. The BBQed chicken was nice and juicy and the French fries crunchy and yummi.
They have a nice shisha area and people playing cards. Highly recommended.

Good value, nice kabab entabli sandwich served with pickles and potato, and great falafel sandwich, I think the falafel sandwich is the nicest cheapest in the category. Two things to drop 1 star are:

First: the driver was a little rude, I got late 1 min to answer him, he said I am waiting here since 10 mins ago.

Second: the minimum order is 25 AED add to it the delivery charge is a bit high 7 AED

Comparing to other restaurants in the same category:

Jedoudna: 1 Tawouk sandwich + 1 Lentil soup = AED48.30
Another lebanese restaurant same order = AED34.50

We went for a team lunch to Jedoudna and had a yummy spread including sausage, stuffed vine leaves, hummus, babaganoush, and chicken shawarma plate. The wine leaves were served cold and it was absolutely delicious. The shawarma plate had a generous portion of chicken alongside the usual pickled veggies and garlic sauce.

Usually, the Jedoudna Restaurant and Café food are very delicious. Here the Lebanese Coffee and Hot chocolate are my favorites. The well trained culinary professional chefs make the food delicious here. I appropriate the chef's work. I recommend this restaurant and cafe for having Coffee and Hot Chocolate in Dubai.

Usually food here is good. Wish I did not have to write this review. My Son who is now in Canada for his University studies, introduced me to this restaurant. Both of us enjoyed visiting this place every time. When I feel nostalgic and miss my son, I order from this restaurant as I don’t have a heart to go there for dining as I will miss him more. But today was a disappointment - Labneh was too sour to eat and Foul Mudammas was half cooked. The place has emotional connection for me and it made me very sad.

Ordered food online. The delivery arrived before the estimated time. I ordered Shish Taouk and rice pudding was the complimentary dessert. The chicken was tender and juicy with generous amount of garlic dip and pickles. The fries were perfect. The pudding was yummy and not overly sweet. Delicious food and quick delivery.

Full disclosure: I wrote a positive review of Jedoudna JBR because it exceeded my expectations and left me happy and satisfied. The staff very kindly got in touch and gave me a voucher to visit the Dubai Media City branch, which was a complete surprise. Thank you Jedoudna for your generosity!

A lot of the things I liked about the JBR branch I also liked about the DMC branch.

There are lots of vegetarian options in the hot and cold mezze menu. The veg dishes are helpfully marked on the menu which makes choosing much easier. Even after two visits I don’t think we have sampled all the veggie stuff, which gives us even more reason to return again in the future.

On this visit we were keen to try some different things as well as some dishes that proved favourites on our visit to the JBR branch.

New dishes we tried:
Baba ghannouj (raheb) - eggplant, herbs and veg dip
Waraq enab - stuffed vine leaves
Fried cauliflower with tahini sauce
Manakeesh - half and half zaatar and akkawi cheese
For dessert - Konafa with cheese

Dishes we’d had before and loved:
Lebanese mashed potatoes - with lemon and sumac
Musakaa - eggplant and chickpeas in a tomato sauce
Hummous topped with pine nuts
Cheese rolls

I can honestly say, without any embellishment, that all the new dishes we tried were fantastic and blew us away. The vine leaves had a wonderful intense flavour. The baba ghannouj was served in a way I’d never seen before - more textured like a salad than a normal dip, and it was fresh, flavoursome and delicious. I loved this! The cauliflower looked a little on the dark side but it was perfect with the tahini and had a little smokey flavour which was nice. The manakeesh was beautifully fresh and the dough soft and scrumptious. Plus the toppings were excellent and tasty.

I have to say I really liked the konafa! My husband and I shared one serving and it was plenty as it is a very flavoursome, filling dessert. I liked that the sugar syrup was served on the side so you could adjust the sweetness to your liking. It was super yummy and a real treat. I would come back just for this :)

With the dishes we’d tried before I guess we were comparing them to those from the JBR Jedoudna, and I think that the JBR branch may just have the edge. I think the bread at the JBR branch was unbeatable even though the bread at the DMC branch was good too.

The decor of this location looks a little nicer than the JBR branch but it’s still not a fancy place - it’s more laid back and down to earth. I like that the staff give you plenty of space to enjoy your meal and chat with your table mates in peace.

All in all, a meal at either branch of Jedoudna promises quality food, great tastes, excellent value, and a relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy your food and a chat at your own pace without feeling rushed or looked over.

I would say Jedoudna offers the best Lebanese food we’ve had in Dubai - no fuss, no bull - just great food. I would recommend it and return.

The atmosphere is family friendly. The food is delicious, and the portions are plenty, which makes the value exceptional.
The meat is perfectly seasoned, very tender and cooked to perfection. Chicken cubes in mix grill is so succulent and juicy. Each and every dish is a mouth watering delight. Its a relishing joy and truly a heavenly engrossment to dine with yummilicious cuisine, the flavourful tasty food, scrumptious taste, incredible aroma and spectacular service. The staff is so friendly and helpful, its always pleasant to see happy faces. Its a must visit!

Food: The food is Good.

Highly Recommended: Spicy Potato.

Service: The service is not good at all. You need to wait a long time before any staff member pays attention to you.

Ambiance: Nice and open.
Outside Smoking and Shisha also available.

Premise: Indoors & Out Doors option available.

Parking: Only Paid Public Parking Available. Difficult to get parking during working hours.

Overall, I've had a good experience with Jdoudna both at the restaurant and for delivery (which usually gets delivered quite quickly 15-20 minutes). It's great for a quick casual dining experience.
Food & service has been consistent over the years and I really appreciate that. I usually order the shish taouk & fattoush.

So far this place is one of the very good Lebanese restaurants in town.
the Mezza is tasty each plate has its own special taste that you cant forget... grilled meat is tasty tender and juicy, vegetables is fattouch are fresh, and the acidity of the sauce "promenade molasses" is well balanced.

Recommendation:
The daily dish: Mahache, and chich barak, kebbeh bil saniyeh.

Mezza: batata 7arra, fattouch, hommos, batenjen, wine leaves, sujouk, makanek.....

Must state, by far, the best Chicken Shawarma I've had in a long time. Large Quantity. And Well, makes a really good meal. 
The place has an outdoor seating as well. At the Ground Floor of the Gate way Building. 

Took a takeaway - and though I gorged on the breads an hour later, they were still soft. 

Value for Money at 38 AED. 

Bottomline : Decent place to grab a quick meal on the go.

this restaurant is right under my office so it makes for a perfect lunch break once a week. the plat du jour is satisfying, I ordered the falafel and they were the Lebanese not Egyptian (green color). the fattoush was on the house (thanks to the manager). the biryani wasn't that great but what do you expect from a Lebanese kitchen? the shisha was great however. all in all a pleasant experience.

Have not been to the restaurant so cant comment on the ambience n seating...
However, had ordered Laham Bi Ajin with Akawi cheese for lunch at office.
Food was good, delivery guy had lot of patience. (We dont have office number written on the door outside so he got a bit lost n hence food reached me little late)
Must comment the guy didnt say a word to me (didnt complain about adress not being mentioned correctly)
Thank you for being the kindest delivery person! Will definitely order again 😊

I ordered the Shawarma platter for delivery, the order was delivered in a timely manner and the order had everything I asked for! 

The Shawarma platter was big, filling and super delicious. The fries that came with it was a little soggy but that is understandable considering they were packed with the hot chicken pieces. 

Well done Jedoudna!!

Today was my third time in the past 2 weeks since i started working in media city and that place is so crowded everyday during lunch time and it is not surprising, their daily dishes have the "homemade" taste that everyone misses back home, very authentic Lebanese food, so far tasted the rice and chicken, mjaddara and warak enab and they are all amazing and it feels like my mom cooked it. Tried their hummus, batata harra and chicken liver and they were all good. They have good shisha too and that is taken care of all the time, you don't have to ask for charcoal everytime. Recommended!

Kickass shawarmas in the Media City area, for a quick lunch or a whole meal with the shawarma plate. When with a large group, you cannot go wrong with the Mix Grill.

It was little late in the night and our quest for something light and healthy led us to Jedoudna.

Food: 3.5/5
We ordered Jedoudna moutabal, fatoosh and kofta kebab roll. The highlight was undoubtedly moutabal and fatoosh. It was all very fresh and tasty. Specially the moutabal.
Kofta kebab roll didn't live much to the expectation

Heard a lot about this place so I decided to try their shawarma to start with.

It's really good for 12 dirhams. Good sauces and chicken. A few potatoes here and there. A typical shawarma but probably better.

Served with a few pickles, carrots and olives.

Something very unique about this place in spite of the cuisine category being too common in this part of the world. Try their fatit hummous which is much better than their hummous jedoudna. Surprising, because putting your restaurant name to a dish increases the steaks (pun intended) ten times over.

Huge place with covered open area for shisha - good food and amazing service found here. 

The Tabouleh, Hummus were made to perfection - not to tangy and not to dry with constant refill of hot bread added taste to the starters. 

Later I ordered a mixed grill that did not disappoint me at all but was to my expectation and taste needs. I would want to go back to the restaurant but with a plan so i dont have to search for parking.

The location is convenient if you work close-by else parking could be a hassle depending on the time, they have limited parking in their backyard.

The service is efficient and prompt especially with shisha.

The food is pretty good and the portions are generous.

The hummus as well as the rest of mezze dishes are fresh and flavourful. Their grilled dishes are done well and bread fare such as the awarma and sandwiches are pretty good too..

It works for quick lunches or a post work shisha hangout.

*LATEST REVIEW*
Recently, I tried their Fatit and the Jedoudna Salad. The salad was super fresh and excellent but the fatit was OUTSTANDING! The skin of the grilled chicken was over-charred but the meat was still moist and juicy. Love their Cocktail juice as well.

------------------------------------

I have been to this place only twice and I absolutely love it. The food and drinks are fresh, the bread is hot, and the service is very good.
The hummus is excellent. The fattoush and tabbouleh are really fresh but fit for 3 people. I've had falafel, kebab khishkhash and charcoal grilled chicken. All of them were delicious!
Although the price is a little high compared to other good Lebanese restaurants, but the quality of food is unmatched. Highly recommended.
