As if you went to lebanon and came back! The manakish are 10/10 , the sweets are regular bakery products but they remind any lebanese person of their childhood. Definitely on my essentials list.

One of the Best,Oldest & Authentic Lebanese Restaurant in Dubai..Yummiest Cheese manakish & Garlic paste is simply tastes like heaven on earth..Recently since few months or less then a year,they have changed the quality of Food & ambience as well.. Hammus & Muttabal also tastes much much better then before.

This is one of the eldest Lebanese bakery in Dubai. We tried cheese manakish , mince meat manakish , zaatar manakish and Spinach fata yes . The taste was very good besides they are generous and the ingredients that they use is a good quality. They do bread also and they have a section for the sweet . The service was good and the team is friendly.

A true and authentic Lebanese Bakery. The manakeesh are really good. All the other products they have as well. The staff in Jumeirah branch were really nice and helpful.

One of the best places to go if you are cheese zaatar lover.. We tried cheese zaatar with vegetable and labneh with Garlic. The experience on our order was wonderful.Al Reef is a hidden gem in Karama, DubaiThis is a perfect place to go after night out as they are open 24/7 and we had this in wee hours. Keep doing well and keep the taste! Cheers to Al Reef

When I first moved to the UAE Al Reef was the first bakery where I tried cheese manakish. It is without a doubt my FAVORITE cheese manakish in Dubai. Its unfortunate that they dont deliver. I would order at least once a week. I always order it and then go pick it up. The seating area inside the bakery is tiny but at the end of the day its a bakery not a restaurant. If you havent tried I highly recommend that you at least try some items on their menu.

I like this place a lot, as you get the best Lebanese bakery items here. Their Manakeish and Zatar with Lebnah are the best.

Been visiting this place for the last 10-12 years atleast. But over the years the quality just keeps deteriorating and deteriorating. Last 2 years weve been giving it a try every 3 months in the hopes it would get better, but honestly today will be the last time Ill visit this place. Such a shame.

I took a taxi across Dubai just to try this place today, and I was very happy that I did. The manaeesh and zaater were so fresh and enjoyable that I ordered more. I recommend eating it right on the spot when it comes out of the oven. The food was delicious, the prices were great, but the people were wonderful. They were so hospitable and happy to help and willing to let me try sweets I didn’t know. I’m very happy I found this place and met these people and had this food

Favorite bakery in the whole wide world. When you think of the best Arabic (fast) food available in Dubai, You most definitely think of Al Reef Lebanese Bakery.Barring their age-old white tube-lights resembling hospitals and bare-basic interiors, everything else is top-notch from sweets, to beverages to their delicious fooooooood.Try their Zaatar+Cheese+Labneh+Mahmoura Manakeesh Roti. You will get a death stare from the guy taking your order. But, trust me, its worth it ;)-- A drop of ink may make a million think.Pawan Manghnani

This place is the best lebanese manakesh in Dubai by far, Al Reef is an institution and has not changed since it first opened. You must know this is not a restaurant, just a place for you to pick up your food on your way to the beach or on your way home after a night out!

Food is fresh and good, yet Its little bit salty.

An
Review №38

They severely lack any customer service, their manager as well as their staff members are absolutely rude and they seem to have no problem or are never apologetic when you call them to inform them of their mistake and ask for it to be rectified. They have trouble to make just one sandwich because turning on their fire just for that 1 item is not worth it for them, even though the mistake is theirs when they were conveniently busy to deliver the correct order.

So local bakery , reminds us with local and small bakeries in Lebanon , they have some nice items. But you wont get the best here for example ( mana2eesh) are good but certainly not wow or even not the best that you can have..They open 24 hours, you can find different items.Parking are available and located in jumeirah road in Dubai.

Review №62

Had their manakish today for breakfast. Although filling, the manakish size is small (unless you specifically ask for the large one which I felt is highly priced) compared to other bakeries taste of their manakish is also very plain. Their sweets and biscuits are good though and it would do them good if they could serve coffee. The cashier was a little rude and impatient but Id probably let that pass. All in all, its not a bad place to go to.. And definitely worth a try if you are in the area but Ive had better.

Review №67

Al Reef used to make the best Manakish in town, at least for the last 15 years... but this sadly seems to be over now... what I bought as Manakish today, was not even worth the name. Hard, dry and tasteless, the cheese version and the zaater version. It is very sad to see an institution like this not live up to its former reputation...

Review №78

A typical outlet for authentic Lebanese cusine. The location at which this outlet is situated at, is one of the oldest in Dubai. It is not very spacious or airy in terms of it ambience. Come to enjoy the food without any expectations for crowd or good seating or any other hospitality benchmarks. CNA be accessed easily via all modes of public transport be it bus, metro or taxis.

The best cheese manaeesh in dubai. Your order will be freshly prepared right out of the oven. The superbly delicious manaeesh easily makes up for the lack of ambience or seating. Big choice of different kinds of freshly prepared manaeeshs.

The food is tasty, tables are too small to acomediate more than 2 people. It basic place but fulfill the need of killing the hunger. Make sure to explain clearly what you want, how it is cooked...etc. no washroom available (or at least u could not find it).

Quality counts. Food taste and hospitality of Al Reef is same as way back in 1976.
