Tribes has been the classic comfort food with a range of delectable taste πŸ˜‹.If you are looking for satisfying steak, rib eye, ox tail then this is the place for you.We ordered four mains ,Ox tail was served with the classic sauce , vegetables and was very tender and delicate. Meat was succulent and well balanced with flavoursClassic rib eye, as usually nail it, the fat and meat were well cooked and served on a bed of tomatoes sauce with nears and carrots diced. You could experience well garnished and felt as if the base sauce was Cooke din all bine broth.Classic steak, mild done βœ” couldnt have been better , juice , simple and cooked to the perfection.Chops, traditional chops medium size , script by the bone end and succulent at the meat end served with mint sauce balances it all.They also serve complementary walnut buns with fresh butter you can not resist.Definitely going to visit again. The place is nailing the food and the staff is a real 🌟 with polite well-informed servers .

Visited last week and the food was amazing! Our server was very nice and friendly and provided good recommendations. We sat outside for the view and fountain show. I’d say the view from here is better than many other restaurants. Well worth it.

Had a pleasant time when we were having dinner at Tribes. Mac was very cheerful and helpful to us. He’s very attentive and ensured that we’re having a great time.The food were tasty and appetizing. And worth every penny. Highly recommended to those who loves meat. We ordered Wagyu Blade and the Warrior Plate. The dessert, Caramel Malva Pudding, was mouthwatering.It’s a plus that they have a great view of a Dubai fountain and the Burj Khalifa.

Overall great food and service. I had the Wagyu steak and was not disappointed. Side of mashed potato wasnt over done and perfectly went along with the steak, my wife had the rib eye and was quite good as well. They got the cooking level of the steak perfect.

The greatest feeling with a long period of quiet;Food - we had steak - one of the finest things Ive had;It was achieved to perfection; I ordered medium-rare;Our waiter, Ram, is an utterly wonderful experience;The desert - a date cake with a pistachio and custard scoop- just pretty;It was a 10/10 experience and were probably not coming back tomorrow, but certainly this week.

We came to this restaurant after the Dubai lake view ride and I can honestly say the viewings from the balcony here was a lot better. The head waiter/ manager was very friendly and helpful. The food was yummy! We had the warrior platter between two of us which we couldn’t finish - but meat was cooked how we’d asked. The mocktails were really nice too and very big jug (thought we’d be getting a small glass)

Review β„–30

Fresh meat, and juicy chicken. This is what you get from a resturant that does not hide its plates and taste, behind excessive cheese and sodium. It looks big, but for the stomach is very light. Jamaican chicken and Full ribs are amazing.Their juices are too sweet, too much Sugar in them.

Tribes located inside The Dubai Mall is one of the finest restaurants in Dubai. Its ranking is #11 on trip advisor among the top restaurants in Dubai. The place is huge with outdoor seating as well which gives exceptional views of Burj Khalifa as well as The Dubai Fountain. Customer service was delightful and food was great. Highly recommended place.

I am sorry to write this review but one should consider the following prior to go dining there.1. Welcoming was rude.2. Food took 20 minutes to be served though restaurant had maximum of six tables & three waiters.3. Food was cold.4. Food taste of four main dishes was burned meat!5. Only good dish was the salad.We had to rush paying on the counter to leave.

A wonderful delight for non vegetarians, This place not only introduce you to the taste of Africa , but it brings you the taste along with its culture. The food is simply awesome, the Ribs is the one to go for, its soft and cooked as per your cooking standards, Another one of the highlight is the grilled bbq chicken , the uniqueness here is that u r served with fried ladies finger instead of chips. The Ambience drives you straight to Africa with native dances and songs played occasionally.

Amazing location outdoors with the Burj Khalifa and the fountain view. Loved that experience of being around in Dubai Mall. Though the layout of seating was kinda cramped and initial confusion with the seating made me a little upset.I ordered Bunny chow shrimp and melting caramel Malva cake, they didn’t have the drinks I wanted to order which was disappointing. But food was very tasty and their menu looks very exciting to try again. Friendly and polite staffs. Over all a good experience, will come back for a better experience

CASH & CARD ONLY. WHEELCHAIR ACCESS (only to indoor seating). EAT IN & TAKEOUT. AMAZING VIEWS OF THE FOUNTAINS & BURJ KHALIFA. VIDEO OF FOOD & VIEWS ON YOUTUBE CHANNEL.RECOMMENDATIONS: We had the loaded beef burger along with the US steak 300gm & veg sides - delicious!Drinks- Brainwash & Tribes Special - fruity juices. Tantalising.SERVICE: Very warm and welcoming staff members. Mainly English speaking (African). Staff were very good in helping us chose from the menu and describing the tastes so that we could chose whats right for us. A bit of a wait for the mains.AMBIENCE: Very calm and relaxing place. Traditional African music playing in the background. Lovely decor. Large tables and spacious from inside. Seats are comfy. Great for couples and groups. Outdoor seating is wonderful. They also provide high chairs for infants and small children.PRICE: See picture.

For African foods in Dubai, Tribes is the place to be. I particularly enjoyed the courteous service. And it was nice to meet the staff who are actually from Africa. The beef was well done and if youve been dining in Africa youd feel at home. Prices, generally about 100AED thereabout per plate.

Food was very aromatic, medium rare meat is actually medium rare. Polite and kind service. However I didnt get my beverage until after I finished my meal, but I dont blame them as there were a lot of people to be served and the staff is also inly human.

South African steak house, provides delicious good steak cuts, the location inside dubai mall provides an amazing view of the dancing dubai fountain, TRIBES IS THE REALIZATION OF ONE MAN’S PASSION FOR ALL THINGS AFRICAN – FROM THE CUISINE TO THE MUSIC, ART AND DESIGNTribes is a fun, casual dining restaurant located in Mall of the Emirates and The Dubai Mall. The menu has been inspired by the amazing food and flavours of Africa, an extremely diverse continent, with numerous tribes, who not only speak different languages, they also have very different foods, which they prepare and serve to their family and friends with a lot of pride.Tribes offers a memorable fusion of exotic flavors, taken from the African continent since the Tribal era, influenced by the Spice Islands of the East, the French in the West, the Malay & Dutch in the South and the Arabic flavours of the Nort.

Ambiance: 9/10Food: 10/10Staff: 10/10Value for money: 9/10My mind was blown. I honestly did not expect my experience to be that pleasant.My friend and I were first greeted in a very friendly manner. Upon getting seated, the waiter serving us was very aware of the menu; and the burgers he recommended to both of us were spot-on DELICIOUS!We had the all-in (I think) burger with regular fries and the Wagyu burger with sweet potato fries - AMAZING.The runner (who I forgot his name) is the funniest person you could meet. Its always an added value when the staff is extra friendly and nice.They have an open kitchen where they grill the meat so you can watch them sizzling your dish.In terms of cleanliness, the table was fully sanitized and cleaned; the waiters were also wearing face masks the whole time. (Social distancing was also applied between tables).I wish I remembered to take a couple of photos of the food/ambiance, but we couldnt wait to bite into those burgers!Overall, we felt very comfortable at Tribes and enjoyed our lunch a lot. I would definitely recommend it to anyone reading this review. You will not be disappointed!
