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!

I loved this restaurant so much! Very friendly staff, the food is delicious, the service is fast. For sure the main thing is a fantastic view to the Dubai Fountain and Burj Khalifa rom the restaurant terrace! And yes, they have good shisha too. I’m gonna go there again when 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.

Review №17

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

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.

This was my very first “authentic” Arabian food experience. I had Lebanese food before in Canada, and I’m sorry, I personally prefer the Canadian not so authentic taste. The service was amazing, and the location... just across from Burj Khalifa, great patio, excellent atmosphere!! 👍👍

Review №39

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.

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.

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!!

⭐️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

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.

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.
