I have been here the second time in the span of two years and I LOVED IT both times!The staff is wonderfully friendly and accommodating. The food is not only delicious but also very affordable. If you are lucky enough, you can sit outside and watch the fountain show and enjoy a Shisha.We can only recommend this place. It has become my favorite go-to dining spot in Dubai!
The location of the restaurant near the water fall so better to park near fashion parking, You will struggle kind how to find it, however the restaurant itself AMAZING excellent food, good hospitality and friendly staff (only the young staff, older staff were rude)The pricing was fair with the high quality dishes. I recommend Eggplant Fattah , Hommos, and Mixed grills.And the portion good as well.We visit the place again of course.
I went with family for lunch. With warm greetings they gave a table as per our choice. We ordered stuffed lamb, full mixed grill and for dessert we ordered othmalie ashta. The service was awesome by Mr. Ayman. Food was fresh, tasty and awesome. We ordered Ala Carte and it was served at a minimum time. Awesome ambience, awesome food and service. The price is fine when compared to the taste. Highly recommendedshanz
It is a nice restaurant that is located in Dubai mall near the water fall with an outdoor overlooking the water show and burj khalifa . The service is good and the team is friendly . Usually on the weekend it is crowded. The food quality is good and tasty . I highly recommend it for Lebanese food lovers .
Wonderful interior design. Extravagant. Incredible. The outdoor area is outstanding because you get the view of Downtown and the view of Dubai Mall’s Fountain area and Burj Khalifa. You get to see it all. Therefore, we enjoyed sitting outside and wish to never leave. Plus, the breeze and air was lovely.The service is incredible. Everyone is working in harmony and they are friendly with each other. Smiling faces despite the mask.Ordered:- Pêne brain (fried): accidentally ordered it fried, but it was still delicious. Well-cooked and well-made. The lemon made it even more delicious.- Labnah and Garlic: great mixture. Among the tastiest Labnahs i have ever tried. It is well-balanced. It is incredible. It works well with every other dish we have ordered.- Kebab Kshkash: Wonderful Kebab. Freshly made. Well cooked/grilled. Fantastic sauce with it. Extremely enjoyable and will be better if we got more pieces 🌚.- Saffron rice: delicious beyond delicious rices. It is cooked to the right degree. They took it out at the right time. Highly loved. It went well with the Kebab and its sauce.- Avocado juice (with honey, no cream): it is thick, but [another word for delicious]. I enjoyed every sip of it. Also, the pistachio bits on top are incredible. Similarly, when I get a few sips of the fresh, healthy honey. My taste buds smile.I will like to note that their olives and bread are fresh as well. I could eat more of them without getting bored. Both the green and black olives were lovely. The bread as well felt fresh from the oven.
We went there on a last reservation and one of the staff members called Ziad was very nice. The rating is mostly for him.Although we didn’t have a table with a view, the restaurant has an outstanding view of Burj Khalifa, the fountain and the mall. All tables were full. The reasons for the missing points is the service as they forgot us at many occasions (it was a set menu so we had to request what they forgot every time) or it was slow and finally the food was cold or just warm but didn’t feel hot or fresh although I have no doubt it was prepared on the same date. This is also because we are familiar with this restaurant. I think this may be because they are understaffed. We love alhallab and definitely going back but not for iftar for sure.
This restaurant is designed with a balcony that gives a good view of the Dubai Mall Fountain and the towering Burj Kalifa. The night lights are impressive. The food that they cater is just as good. They serve mainly Lebanese Cuisine and the flavors are authentic making their menu reasonably-priced. Service is prompt and the interiors are just amazing.
This place offers one of the best Lebanese cuisine in the town with great taste and we really like its ambience and décor around but only drawback is their portion size which is not as much as the prices other then that its a good place to dine in.we ordered: 1 full mix grill, 1 kebab plate, 1 chicken shawarma, 1 lentil soup, 1 tea pot and kunafe.Cost: 254 AED for 2 people.
One of the best restaurant in Dubai, Very friendly staff and the food is delicious.
Very nice cosy restaurant on Level 1 Dubai Mall next to waterfalls. Has a nice fountain and burj Khalifa view. Prices are average for budget. Very tasty food. Especially kofta with pomegranate sauce is signature for starter and kebabs are really mouth watering. The only downside is the drinks. One Moroccan tea was 19 dhms for only one person. It was surprising even though it shows in the menu one pot with two glasses 19 dhms. We payed 38 dhms. But staff are friendly welcoming. You may need to book in advance to be able to find table on the balcony if not you may wait an hour to get one on the spot. But highly recommended
Best Arabic food in Dubai at decent prices. Everything is fresh and tasty and the quantities are good.Been going to Al Hallab for the last 7 years and have never experienced a fault. In the food or the service.
The food was little more on the sour side. Deserts were great. Service very good
Must try restaurant in Dubai. As solo traveler I always try local food, but this restaurant portion is quite big. The lunch package comes with lentil soup, hot fresh bread, and dessert. All taste good for me and service really good as typical semi fine dining. Waiters friendly and try to explain nicely. My advice try to sit beside window to enjoy nice view.
Tasty food, reasonably priced, the terrace viewing is awesome but obviously in winter.The service is really good.Ali was spectacular. He created a dish off the menu just to match our request.
Eid Mubarak Al Hallab!! Thank your for this fantastic lunch with you! It was delicious, and the service was so warm and friendly to us like a family member :)This was our first time, and it will be not the last time for sure ;)Thank you, and keep the quality on this high level!Greetings to our waiter ”Ronnel”! He made our day special!
Al Hallab is the favorite and best Lebanese restaurant in the world not only in DubaiGuys are very active, food is superb, generosity has no limit... I do all my invitations for dinner at this place.Hints:Book a table outdoor overlooking fountainShisha is awesome thereLeave a space to sweets, it’s their specialtyMr Bashar made it perfect with his team, he is the hidden gem of that restaurant❤️
Thats a really great place to experience a taste of home or to discover lebanese cuisine !Great food, great location and beautiful place, all of this for an affordable price considering the quality.I can only recommend thid place.
Great food with great view. Prompt service and superb taste.
Food still good. However, they need to do something new. I have been a customer of the restaurant for many years, and the place has become boring since no change in menue items or the presentation of the food.
I have been to dubai mall branch. Insulting staff. You need to wear your Rolex and some sports car key. Thats all. Even if you you just purchase a glass of water they will treat you better. I have been to Al Hallab all branched even on dubai mall. never had such expericne before.
Excellent and very delicious food, professional staff, reasonable prices. Have excellent outdoor seating area overlooking Khalifa tower.
Delicious food, excellent service, professional staff. Exceeded my expectations.Highly recommended
Defenitely 5 stars restaurant !it is one of my favorite lebanese restaurants in Dubai.The food is delicious , the service is perfect, the hot bread is so good and overall it is all amazing .After having lunch we have ordered different plates of deserts , but one kind they were out it. Instead they have offered us a huge plate of fresh sweet watermelon for freeeeeeee.The restaurant has a view to the fountain and burj khalifa from one side and it has a view to the waterfall inside.i will defenitely visit again and will recommend to my friends.
The taste of the food is good but the portion is very small for the price that youre paying. I was really disappointed.
Easily the best Arabic food you can find in the Dubai mall. We had fattoush, rkakkat (cheese pastry rolls), chicken shawarma, lahme mishoue (skewered lamb) sandwich, kafta sandwich, fattet hummus (chickpea yogurt and fried bread), grape leaves, batata harra (spicy potato), karrabeej and mafrouki. All were excellent. If you made me choose 3, Id say get the Fattoush, fatteh, and lahme mishoue but ideally youd get a spread as is traditional and try many things. The manager Bilal was superb and really made us feel welcome. Highly recommended.
I adore the food there and the staff is really helpful and smiling all the time thanks for the excellent service
It’s not the first time we visit al hallab dubai mall branch, were there for the eid lunch. Staff are friendly and helpfull specially Ali, food is amazing and price is good comparing to the quality. Highly recommended
Heres how it goes... Post COVID-19 Ive see how restaurants compromised on ingredients, portions, sizes and quality but one place that delivers consistently is Al Hallab year after year. Theyve not compromised on anything. Same high quality and service. 5 stars for me.
Great food, lovely staff, and a wonderful location.Well priced restaurant, with a large selection of meal or sharing plate options for the whole family.The food is served quickly by the staff, and the dishes are well proportioned and taste great!As most people will invariably order too much, they do offer to wrap up and let you takeaway any decent amount of leftovers you’d like to slowly walk out with.
Cozy restaurant and delicious lebanese and food. I recommend Tabula, kubba, and the hot in-house bread.
If you like arabic/lebanese food, this is a must go restaurant.It has very delicious food menu ( either appetizers or main dish) and an outstanding sweets also.it is simply a superb restaurant
Best Mashaawi in UAE
This place is super cool, who wount like to have a meal with a view like Burj Khalifa on the front. Its located in 2 floor of Dubai mall right next to the waterfalls. Even the waterfalls are viewable from dining. The food is super delicious and are mostly authentic lebanesses dishes. Great place to spend some quality time and grab some good grills.
Great place and food. Service is fast
Quality and tenderness in the meat was lacking when comparing it to the pictures they have on the menu. Nice outside views though!
We visited the restaurant yesterday, and the staff was not welcoming to us. They were arguing with us, even though it is known that we supposed to be served professionally and meet our requests in an appropriate manner!!!!!
Very good food and the stuff very profesional and friendly .
Ordered Kanafeeh with cheese and Mafroukeh; I don’t think I tasted something worse than this in my life. This has nothing to do with Hallab Lebanon. So don’t get fooled. I have not tried the food, but given that the sweets were terrible, not sure to trust the rest!!——————————————————————————-I took up the management and sent them an email with my contacts!!! No one answered. I am not surprised as I believe the replies are cut and paste to fend off bad reviews thinking no one will check!!
Food and place were excellent. Staff was moderate and so was the service . The waiter almost asked for tip.
Very delicious middle eastern food and good location. Can definitely recommend
⭐️Ramadan Kareem⭐️Mubarak 2019I thank Al Hallab for the wonderful evening 🏆 I specially took my friend from US who was here for a short visit. I wanted her to try some Authentic Lebanese food like soups, appetizers & grills along with a wide variety of sweets Bcz Al Hallab restaurant is Dubais favourite choice. I love their Turkish coffee, mixed Shawarmas, salads.... although they hv a vast variety, also special Diets, Vegetarian friendly, Vegan Options too.She loved it 👏👏 Special thanks to their sweet friendly smiling staff. Before leaving i took some pictures with them ❤️ 😄Now a days during the Holy Ramadan month they have a special Iftar Buffet menu after sunset. So dear friends go n check out n Enjoyyyyyy
Authentic Levant food!Love the restaurant for so many reasons. The food is so delicious, many appetizer dishes cold and hot. The grills are fantastic and done to perfection, lamb chops, chicken kebab, lamb kebab and ribs are all succulent and full of taste.The staff is awesome, professional and of high courtesy, service is fast as well.I love the place and highly recommend it.
One of the best lebanese restaurant.Good ambience , beautiful view of water fountain and delicious food.The view of burj khalifa from this restaurant was an incredible one.we celebrated my son’s birthday party there...The price was reasonable.The hospitality of the staffs were very amicable.
Best Arabic food in town, with best value...... after 7 years in Dubai, I do rate this as Top Arabic Food in Dubai
Very nice Lebanese restaurant located by the waterfall fountain in Dubai mall, good service and delicious food. It also have outdoor terrace overlooking burja Khalifa and the dancing fountain. It also offers variety of shisha at the terrace. Prices are reasonable and the daily dish ( lunch) is highly recommended. So if you wish to try Arabic food specially authentic Lebanese flavours this is the place to go
Great Lebanese food, great views of burj Khalifa and Dubai fountain, and great service! Highly recommendedAlso offers great shisha 👍🏼
Great, good sevice, good and tastee food
This was the 1st time to try Alhallab in the holy month of Ramadan. Not impressive! Overpriced for a very limited set menu options. Overall value for quality served is Dhs.60 but we were charged Dhs.120 per person. Very slow service and not very friendly. I will still be a loyal customer but not in the months of Ramadan.
It is a very nice, clean and spacious place. Their food was not that great and especially the daily dish “Sayadiyat “ it was tasteless and the rice was lumpy.
For more detailed reviews please visit my Insta Page @ SykobloggerBeen a loyal fan of Hallab for quite some time now.I am a fan of Arabic food and can literally have shawerma on a daily basis, as this is my comfort food.Hallab was always pricey, but that also means that ... the quality is always as promised.... BEST AND AMAZING!!!!!Visits for me to Hallab would be on special special occassions like Bdays, dates, etc and so on.The staff here is good and friendly.The mixed grill is good as well.Coming to this location, the taste and quality is consistent. The staff here is friendly, ambience is great as well.If you are lucky, you can get a spot overlooking the water.SYKO RATING - 4 / 5RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!
Had an iftar with my family there. Where shall I start from:1) service was literally below any type of standards. The waiters were excelling in avoiding us.2) food was served after more than hour, cold and not tasty.3) we had to clean our table ourself, go to get our own water....I do not recommend it at all, the experience was a nightmare.
Cool place with fantastic view
Beautiful decor and amazing food. Pricecwad also reasonable compared to ambience and its prime location in front of burj khalifa
This is Very good and located on the heart of Dubai in Dubai mall..Lebanonese cuisine...
Nice restaurant with good view , friendly staff and delicious food with good price
Absolutely delicious food, amazing view, friendly staff. Everything is great about this place. Even the vegetarian food is epic.
Normally I have eaten in halabie many times and food is always good but this time when I went for ifatari food was no where close to good main dishes were cold (bbq)But i am sure it was just one time problem as I have eaten many a times and food is very tasty
Great place for high quality lebanese food
Very nice daily dishes, awesome food and good service
Chefs burger was tastless and staff was not friendly at all and food quality and quantity was not worth the price,, we r very disappointed hallab restaurant is one of famouse restaurants in dubai mall. But sorry to say, not any more
Always my go-to place when introducing friends new in the city for Arabic food. Affordable, good service and easy to find (I just say, “2nd level at Dubai Mall next to The Waterfall”, see how easy?! 🤩) Plus, a great view of the Burj Khalifa when you sit outdoors, yay! 👍🏼👏🏼😍
Delicious food, friendly staff.Need to make booking.
Amazing view, great libanaise food
Amazing lebanese food with good prices
Tasty food but high price.
Very nice and authentic Lebanese restaurant based in Dubai mall
Excellent place to have family food (breakfast, launch or dinner). They serving beautiful arabic foods. They have outside tables. You can enjoy foods with beautiful views
Good food but the service was a bit slow
The food was ok but the personal wasn’t. One of them especially was giving us some bad stares we didn’t like how he acted with us!
The food was mediocre at best. The wait staff was very cold.
Hallab is the best lebanese restaurant in uae. The taste (especially their hummus) and cleanliness is what makes them special 👌🏻 Highly recommended !
Every branch has a different service standards.everyone please see the reply below. you complain and they simply say come again. :D
