Whether you want a casual dining w friends or family or bring visitors to a good dining place without spending so much, Al Hallab never fails to impress its clients w good customer service and tasty dishes.Their servers are attentive and would ask good questions so they can make recommendations especially if it’s your first time to eat there or have not a lot of idea of what dish to try.Their chicken liver w pomegranate sauce is a must try for sure! Their shawarma is tasty and filling!While they are also known to serve/sell sweets, I haven’t tried some but would love to do so the next time we visit.

Awesome food quality, flavours and taste. Great service. A bit too noisy. Could use some music playing in the background

Al hallab used to be one of the best Lebanese restaurants in town however Ive visit recently after a long time and i was very disappointed of the food quality. The starters are good but the meat grills are thin like the kebab and the lamb chops. The chicken shish tawook still taste delicious like it used to be. No doubt the new location is nice with beautiful atmosphere if its not crowded.

Absolutely amazing authentic Arabic fusion experience. Mix of traditional culture and Get low (Too fast too furious). If you want to experience traditional Arab hospitality - this is a right place. Fantastic cusine, premium service. Highly recommended - especially - Jallab - absolutely amazing taste.

We enjoyed the food and drinks here; the service was ok. The kids ordered lemoned, and it took them 45 minutes to deliver it just because they changed their shifts, and the waiter who took the order didnt take care of it before he leaves his shift. Even though they got other drinks for the rest of us, I was confused about what happened. Did they type it or not. Overall, I would recommend it because the food was delicious and the restaurant is very clean.

Went to try Lebanese snacks & greatly enjoyed the wraps. But the exotic sweet dish was so very delicious that we wanted to have more. Service great & price also nominal.

It is one of the best Lebanese restaurants in Dubai. They have a separate place for the sweet. Today , We ate kneffeh with cheese and it was so delicious and tasty. The service is so good and the waitresses are very friendly and attentive. They have a wide selection in their menu from sandwiches to main dishes. It is also good to try their breakfast.

Review №12

Lovely and amazing place, a classic lebanese restaurant that provides excellet food and service always.Al Hallab has a special place at heart, its my fathers favorite place and we took him there for his birthday.I would rate it 4 stars only because of the fact that they dont have an elevator for the second floor, which unfortunately made us miss the beautiful seating area upstairs. It is not easily accessible for elderly people and anyone with any health reason that needs an elevator.Pros:1- Food2- Service3- Ambience4- Parking5- PricesCons:1- No elevator

Al Hallab Restaurant & Sweets is one of the best place in Dubai to enjoy delicious Lebanese Food. Every piece of food items starting from a simple salad were served well. Hospitality and Presentation was good.Lentil Soup, Mankoushe Cheese, Chicken Wings, Falafel Platter, French Fries and Greek Salad was our order. Every piece of food was amazing. Lebanese Grills are the best here. You should try mixed grill with tawouk or a Shish Tawouk for sure.We cannot complete a Lebanese food without sweets. Although we couldnt have it over there, we packed a mix of sweets which included Kounafa Cheese, Baklawah, Maamoul...On the whole this is must visit place to try Lebanese Food in Dubai.

Honestly the quality of food and service is beyond bad.I don’t think it’s right what is going one hereI hope the owners look at the business. The music is also a terrible choice, even bread tastes like paper here

I ordered to go, the service was quick.Shawarma Meat 10/10 it was deliciousHummas 9/10 tasted good, lost a point for lack of sourness as I like it to be more on that sideLabenah with Garlic was 10/10 perfectly balancedBread felt a bit old 2/10 extremely dryPackaging wise it was very well packed and very much appreciated the sticker that identified the meat shawarma. For if my order was biger than that I would be opening one parcel after the other trying to find whats what.Overall I rate it 3.5 out of 5 . I do recommend the place as the food taste good and its well priced-------(Ramadan review 3rd of May 2021)Great experience my guest had a blast the set menu was great, food was tasty definitely would recommend

Fatoush is my favorite in their menu.They have variety of drinks as well along with their traditional desserts.A true authentic place to enjoy best Lebanese food & sweets, it is always a good option for family gathering !

The restaurant itself is tastefully decorated very modern and clean and the waiting staff very professional and friendly. You can also purchase fresh and prepackaged Baklava and prepackaged Turkish delights plus other pastries and cakes.

Very good arabic (lebanese) restaurant and sweets place. I love their shawarmas. The meet is very soft and delicious. Everytime I have family or friend coming to Dubai, we definitely visit All Hallab either in Garhoud or Dubai mall (with good view overlooking dancing fountains).Their sweets are different story. It is so, so good.I don’t know how they make them so good.Also try their ice creams. Really yummy.

Really if there is a reason for ruining the reputation of al hallab it would be this branch. The food was really bad like 1/10 and the service as well. Downtown and Dubai mall branches are a thousand times better.

Ambiance - 4 of 5Service - 3.5 of 5Food - 4 of 5The menu has a lot of variety in Food from the Gulf. The manakeesh with cheese is the best although my non-veg eating friends say their non-veg line up is tasty too.Go for a breakfast and enjoy great experience.I love their cutlery and the sweets line up is very large. All the sweets from middle east are in here.The price could have been a little less or discounts from some tie ups.

Al Hallab is the restaurant I go to whenever I cant decide where to go. Cleanliness is a priority here. The service is excellent and the food is very good. A big plus is dessert. Al Hallab has some of the best sweets to be found. Go, eat and enjoy yourself.

Excellent food, exceptional service and ambience. We were in a group of 8 people, this was my second visit as we stopped in Dubai for two days while traveling from USA to Hyderabad, India. First visit was in May, 2017. Jallab is a speciality drink, its a must try.

I absolutely loved the food here. The flavour was amazing and there wasnt a dish that I didnt like. If you are thinking of going here, I would highly recommend this place.The service was simply amazing! Ammar Abu Hamra is the man!! Make sure you ask for him if he is there. Super friendly and attentive. If only everyone could be this good!They have a smoking room upstairs and if you are a non-smoker, make sure you sit far away from that room.Order the mini sausages, they are delicious and so is almost everything else we tried.

The worse service and planning ever. Made me wait with my family by the table to get cleaned and then tell me some other people were waiting before me, this is Wednesday night and not peak day or weekend. Their smoking area lacks filtration and is very toxic.Their staff attitude were careless to lose customers just because they can’t manage their pressure.

Looking for authentic Lebanese food and desserts ?? You have just arrived to the right place...Al hallab offers a two story dining area with half of the upper deck assigned for smoking (cigarettes, shisha) if you like to do so while enjoying a vast array of Lebanese mezze and home made daily dish in addition to mouth watering Lebanese sweets...No matter what your type of diet is (salads, veg, Hindu,seafood, chicken, beef, lamb, raw, cooked, grilled, fried...) Its all available.

Best in town if youre looking for quality Lebanese food! Definitely recommend it!During Ramadan you must book a space in advance, 4 people per table, if youre a large group they will help by booking near by tables, but must keep two meters distance between tables, little inconvenient, but thats the law!

Have been a regular here for a couple of years, but yesterday was a disappointment. The mixed grill wasn’t done well, perhaps the meat was just heated old food and served. The service was even worse. The waiter didn’t care when we expressed concern about the food quality and bad service. They lost a customer yesterday.
