Great view, superb ambiance, average food - compared to many other top lebanese restaurants...service was not up to the expectations....

Good dining experience with nice water fountain dance view. Tower is directly visible from waterfront view and music is loud and clear. Food selection are excellent for Arabic Style presentation with best quality ingredients. Especially starters are awesome with breads and pita & Hamus. Different selection of pickles with lime water available for drinks. Fruit cocktails are also good, try for different flavours. Every 15 minutes music is on with water dance of different country style. Music quality is so load and crystal clear. Restrurant employees are friendly with nice behaviour. Menus selection are awesome for every types of guest. Finally, try for Lebanese style cream and sweets.Thank you

I love this place! Have been here many times, in fact I bring all my friends who come to Dubai for their 1st time here. Excellent service, Sumar, Bassam, Ali. The food is out of this world, elaborated with fine ingredients. The cherry of the cake, the best view of the water fountains!

The place is a great spot to see the fountain show and Burj khalifa. Food was good. The waiter’s weren’t wearing their masks properly and talking over the plates.

This place had great food and the device was Avery good too. Unfortunately it was so busy that I couldn’t get a seat in the pavilion as I wanted to watch the Dubai fountain from my table. They only had a table inside and said that a table outside wouldn’t be available for several hours. When the fountain began I went outside to view then came back inside.Well worth the visit, the food was nice but if you’re a tourist make sure you get a seat on the pavilion!

1 additional star for the view & Ambiance. Food was not that great but the view of Burj khalifa & Lake was something which was worth visiting. if you wanna watch the fountain show at Burj khalifa this restaurant is one of the restaurants from where you can have magnificent view

Nice food.Service averagePark in souk elbahar and not in dubai mall.Mainly Lebanese food .typically Lebanese people order a lot of starters ( mese) in small dishes . Just ask the waiter and they will guide you for cold and hot mese.Desert usually good as well . See above pictures .I have tried eating at Abdel wahab before and it seems it is going back on quality cimpared to before .Still acceptable however

Perfect in everything but if you are looking for direct open view to Fountain this is not the most convenient spot as you will need to stand up to get a full view. If fountain view is your goal Better find one of the Dubai Mall restaurants on the ground floor level. If food quality then this is exactly where you can taste the Middle Eastern cuisine at its BEST

Amazing location to see the fountain show downtown. We asked to stay inside because of the heat but I managed to see the show anyway.The owner gave us recommendations and he got all good: the whole meal was delicious! Really adored their hummus 😋

Best lebanese restaurant I have ever been. Mr Bassam is very nice and really funny guy, my favourite place in Dubai. Everyone should try their raw kebbeh.

Review №15

One of the better Lebanese restaurants in the downtown area. It’s located on the second floor of The Souk area and provides an excellent view of the fountain show.Please note you need reservations during high peek season/hours. If not, you may be lucky to get a seat if space is available.Overall the management staff is very professional and will accommodate your requests and the food is excellent—they also offer a variety of beers, wines and whiskeys.

Delicious food prepared with perfection. The hummus taste was so delicate and the lamb grilled to the exact point. As we say in Brasil, it was food to eat praying. I recommend the experience! With Lebanese Wine, Chateau Musar to accompany!!! And baklawa as dessert!!! Special place to see the dancing fountains...

Delicious food with reasonable prices, excellent customer service. Complimentary sweet dishes were good. View of Burj Khalifa and the dancing fountain! We love the place !

Unfortunately the standard of this place has deteriorated in recent years. In Lebanon this place is know for its service and quality. Unfortunately here in Dubai they do not live up to this standard. Not in service or quality. Not once was I asked if my food was ok or if I needed anything by any of the staff. The food was not good at all, the tabouleh was bland and the mixed grill was sub par. Sadly, will not be visiting this place ever again and hopefully the management will soon realize the disservice they are doing to this place.

The food was excellent...we had a platter that had chicken, and lamb chops, and some sea food 😋🥰. The view of the Dubai fountain and Burj Khalifa was spectacular.

Review №28

We booked a table for Iftar and they told us on the phone it’s 150 AED, but when we went there, they said VAT is not included. It’s not a big amount, but why not mentioning the whole price?When we booked, they didn’t mention it was only until 20:30, while usually Iftar lasts until 21:00 in other restaurants, maybe even later. So they came to our table when we were having dessert and told us they have another reservation and we have to move.Even though the food is good and the view is perfect, because of these reasons mentioned above we will never go back and we do not recommend this place for more than one drink and a fountain show.

Review №29

They Dont deserve even a single start.I booked for a Ramadan breakfast, and when I was in with my family, small kids, they start serving other tables the wine.During Ramadan, during eftar, they serve wine 🍷I Don encourage any Muslim to do iftar there.

Review №34

Food is below average. Service is fine. The only thing this restaurant has going for it is location. At any other location it would never be busy. Food taste is average for what you are paying. Very unlikely to get a fountain view unless you are five or more people.

We had little birthday party dinner and they were helpful to make a set up of surpise cake, fowers, etc, very nice view directly on fountains, it was july and outside was hot but we still could sit there as they have desert fans which little bit but still helpful, inside was noisy , crowded and smelling weird thought. Was not really classy environment for a b.day of boss but fountains and tasty food helped :)))

If you would like to experience arabic cuisine i would recommend you to check another place to taste the food. Friendly crew but they missed placing vegetables and olives on the table as a typical arabic culture leaving small starters while waiting for your order and the chicken liver was really dry. But If you are looking to experience the Dubai Fountains show thats a place that you would definitely enjoy at the terrace (start time 6pm - as every 30mins you have a light and sound water show) I would recommend you to call for a reservation because it gets quite busy around this time and you will most probably end up inside the restaurant.

A must visit if you are in Dubai, Abdelwaheb is a fine Lebanese restaurant and is rightly placed in soul al bahar facing the fountain of Dubai mall and do not forget to try almaza te Lebanese beer, my best pick in food was the grilled halumi sooooo goood

Very popular as it’s large terrace affords a superior view of the fountains and the Burj Khalifa; recommend to book with as much notice as possible. Accommodating front of house and attentive waiting staff. Food was fresh and tasty with a good range of choices without being confusing. Not a cheap place but fairly good value for money once you factor everything in.

Review №88

The view of the fountains is very nice from this restaurant. We went here because we thought the restaurant was on the same level as the Souk.However it was very loud. Especially near the kitchen. The staff was very helpful, but the feeling of being processed very quick didnt go away. Food was average. We wont be coming back, there are many other restaurants with views of the Dubai fountains.
