Brilliant food, service, and atmosphere! Nada, Paul, and Amine were extremely accommodating to my family. The delicious food, attentive staff, and amazing view of the Burj and fountain show made this a truly memorable birthday for my mother. I highly recommend this restaurant when you are in Dubai!

Beautiful setting with a great view, friendly staff and pleasant music. Carpaccio and mushroom risotto very good indeed, arancini dry and without flavour. When told this, waiter said “Oh” and walked off. Expresso martinis very good. Would absolutely return but please fix the arancini !
