Wonderful location, beautiful view of the Dubai fountain but what happened to the food? Sharwama platter that had nothing to do with Sharwama. The staff were so attractive and helpful but the food was really really disappointing. Looked weird and tasted even worse. My friend seemed to like her meal. Coupled with the this weather, we would not have bothered if we sat outside the humidity and eat good food. But unfortunately I personally will not be visiting that place.

The best Lebanese food in dubai with a twist, loved every dish and love the vibes and the music, the seating in winter outside is magical facing the fountains and dubai mall, highly recommended

The food is exceptionally good and you have a variety of choice. The service was very attentive and if you are lucky one of the tables has view on the water show. The pomegranate juice was my personal favourite as you don’t get that quality of juice anywhere else! The ambience is also warm and welcoming. Overall a great experience in eating.

Gotta try this restaurant for their Authentic Lebanese flavours. We had the shawarma and grilled lamb rolls. The location is brilliant and food is decent too.

I had my breakfast here!! It’s so yummy! Especially the shakshuka was so perfect so yummy I like it. The bread they served was fresh and hot. I will come again to have my breakfast before I go to Dubai Mall. The service was professionally and friendly. Good prices. Nice atmosphere 🥰👌🏼

Second time around visiting this place. Sat outside and enjoyed the view and the breeze. The food was good and even more so the Kebabs, we had a mix platter and jumbo shrimp with rice. Was very filling for 2 people and definitely recommended. But I dont think I would come back a second time as nothing stuck out as exception, including their service.

The food here was great, and conveniently located to seeing the dubai fountain and accessing the mall. Definitely park nearby because you can validate your ticket at the entrance. I wish I could add videos to show the food but follow my IG/FB @officialsparkoftravel to find them!

Really liked the place, the view, the service, the delicious food. Thank you.

This is our second visit to the restaurant, food was very delicious.Great service from the Staff.There is also a special section for non-smokers

Wonderful!!!! The Lebanese food was DELICIOUS and the the service great!! What made the evening even more memorable is that we sat on the jetty overlooking the Burj Khalifa light up and the dancing fountains. It is also very conveniently situated next to the Souk Al Bahar.

Tasty varieties of well presented plates. Portions are medium minus especially to its values. Its location is quite good plus good hookah.

Unfortunately it was not to our expectations. The kibeh was ok at best the humus and bread was nice . However the mains was a big disappointment. I love shawarma but this poor at best. Unfortunately I won’t be returning.

We ordered mixed grills. Unfortunately the food has no taste at all, no spices and no expertise in it. The appetizers portions are too small with high prices. I dont recommend at all compared to the bill you get. Specially the grills was like eating a vaccum of air without any taste. We were a frequent clients but they changed their quality and food taste.Does not recommend that.

We tried this Lebanese restaurant at Dubai Mall because we could Seat outdoor and have view to Burj Khalifa.You have a good view of Burj Khalifa, and you can see some of the Fountain show behind a bridge front of you.We did choose each a grilled mix menu. When you did read the menu, it did say many things, but apperently half of plate was just garnish.Three small pieces shish kebabs and hummus which tasted good, but the rest was useless to me. E.g. the salat on the plate was made of parsley and oniens.We also tried there Kunafa, which was dissapointed. The sugar syrup was in a cup where you should put it on self, and no topping with pistaschios instead garnish with a slice of orange. Makes no sense.The good view is the best part of this place, otherwise the stars would have been lower. You apperently pay for the view and little food and a lot of garnish.

Great food and Shisha. The service is very friendly and the outdoor seating is nice. At night you can see the fountains if you have a seating with a view. The waiters are always there to help. The food portions are generous. They also have seating in the water which is lovely if you’re with someone special. The Lebanese food they serve is as good as what you would find in Lebanon.

A good Lebanese restaurant with Burj Khalifa and fountain view. The food is decent and the service was good. The prices are reasonable.

Very lovely restaurant. I came with some friends whom were visiting for the holidays and this was a great choice:)) the food was fresh and flavorful:) and the ambience was really nice since it has a great view of the Dubai fountain displays and music:) we all really enjoyed our experience:))

The service was impeccable and so was the shisha. Zahr El Laymoun is one of the best Lebanese restaurants in Dubai and I’m putting it on my must try places!

Great service! Delicious food! Amazing view on Burj Khalifa and water-light show! We had a good time and good food!

Perfect location alienated from the mall caos, specially if you don’t care about the fountain like me. Food was delicious, bur portions are super big, so if you go alone like me be ready to take food home. Sisha was amazing, I recommend the house special shisha. A little overpriced.

If you walk across the bridge from Dubai mall you will find this cozy restaurant.The food is simply deliciousThe staffs are so nice and smileyYou can go to restaurants terrace and see the fountain show which is also amazing.

The food, service, hookah and the view deserve 5 stars here! I had the tabouleh, hummos, mixed kebab plate l, Lebanese coffee and all tasted delicious. Both their house hookah flavor and the go to double Apple were tasty. Be aware that the food comes out fast. If you sit outside you can watch the fountain show every half hour and the light show on the Burn Khalifa as well!

Great food with great location on dubai mall fountain. Perfect lebanese food. Staff is very friendly.

Meat cubes are chewy , chicken pieces are dry , kofta is tasteless , fries are not fries, tastes like half baked potatoes , salads are made by a 12 year old. Good sit-down though on the patio.

Excellent service, good quality of food. Outside view is amazing. Desserts are delicious

Food is decent but the view and the ambience is amazing

Good place to visit, nice shisha, bad view, nice food, last time was way better, the portions are not enough, i hope things get better next time.

Excellent Lebanese food - I will return. The platform on the water is cute and away from the noise of Shouk al Bahar.Good shisha as well.

I ordered a beetroot salad: It came with this gigantic bowl of green leaves. I guess it was 1 small beetroot divided in 4 pieces, 3 walnuts and 2 rocket leaves. I Ordered for Kebe and hear come à reheated frozen one. The entire thing was over priced I guess because of the view complemented with the flies. You are forced to eat fast because of that. Unless you are there for the pictures and good table with a view I suggest that you visit only after dark no flies. You can have a better deal from other restaurants in the area.

Loved food .. great ambience .. with sheesha smoking as well as non smoking zones for family with kids.. restaurant is located right in front of the Dubai mall over looking the fountains and has a great ambience in the outdoor section. Some of the must try food dishes are .. chicken skewers, beiruti hummus, mint yogurt, fatoush salad and many more..

Beautiful View with outside sitting! Best to visit in winters!

This restaurant gives you straight view of The BURJ KJALIFA and the fountain arout it you can see the fountain show while eating your food. Its been beautiful experience

The food is good , has differents options however missing a lot of typical libanesse dishes u

Came here a while back but forgot to leave a review amazing outdoor patio with great views of the Burj khalifa and great sheesha and service as well.

Amzzzzzzing view it’s one of my favourite spots in Dubai I have been going there for the past 6 years I do really enjoy every moment in there , definitely 5 stars ⭐️

I use to eat at Zahr El Laymoun, it use to be good restaurant, but now i just had my dinner and i am actually i am disappointed.Service ⭐️ ⭐️Staff ⭐️⭐️Food ⭐️Hygiene ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️View ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The service was so slow, the staff are not friendly, food is not delicious and quantity is very little!🥲🥲🥲I won’t come again and i don’t recommend any one to do the same specially for diner! ❌❌❌The only good thing is the wonderful view.

Well went to dine there this evening, The food was light and healthy and very satisfying and most importantly it was affordable.The location of this restaurant especially the outside dining area is so nice and peaceful.Customer service staff was ok.The only thing you guys should consider is placing a “reserved” label on tables that already reserved to avoid embarrassment for customers whom myself and after me another family had to go through.

One of the best places to sit next to Dubai mal enjoy good Lebanese food, good shisha quality and good service, staff is friendly and helpful.

I am from Palestine and I know the Lebanese cuisine and been to many restaurants.There was something not appetizing in the food.The shisha is greatFood was not goodWe ordered Arabic salad: it wasnt chopped properly and only had tomatoes and cucumber with some onions; no parsley or mint. So we asked to replace with Fatuous that turned to be disappointing when compared to other restaurants.The other dish was Jawhara which is beautifully presented and made from mix of cheese and basil. We ask the chef to consider adding more basil to infuse its flavour in the mix.Our food is delicious so please do more effort into these simple details. You have a great location and staff so that was to help maintain high quality food.

Decreasing the quality , we have asked writers for fish grill food he said I recommend having fish in next three restaurant , the food product was old and too old . The kings prawns was not eatable. I guess they have changed their chef. This place use to be one of the best in downtown but now not anymore

Very tasty food Very good shisha ...Very good services ... Mr.ron aquino give us Very good services ... he take care of us and he was very fast in the service ..

Ate there with my husband, paid a lot and left the place hungry. Not interesting dry food and when you order the mixed grill they give you a teaspoon of hummus with it. They shouldnt mention it even beter so that poeple know to order sides. Seriously how can u have an arabic restaurant n let the customers leave ur place feeling robbed and HUNGRY.PS local guides all give 5 stars? I guess they didnt pay foor the food.

Delicious Lebanese restaurant with Dubai fountain views and the most attentive service ever. People around us where there mostly for smoking shisha and just to chill out with the amazing fountain view. We opted for their delicious mezza like moutabal and hummus, as well as their fresh salads. Their mixed grill was one of a kind. The portions are big which made us take half of our lunch for home. Prices are good, maybe slightly expensive. Having on mind we were sitting in Downtown Dubai with the amazing view of the fountains, should be just appropriate to expect the higher prices than lets say Barsha.

This place was one of my favourite places in Dubai...but now I dont know whats happened 😑 its not good as before..the food was really bad and not fresh and has a smell...however this dessert is unique and delicious and I like good unique things...and the shisha was good.Im not going to talk about the view...coz definitely its amazing...its Burj Khalifa & Dubai Mall.I really wish that it will be a good restaurant as before and Im sure they will b...focus guysFor more reviews please visit my profile here..or follow me on Instagram on my account : @guider_uae to be up to date with my new reviews 🌷One more thing...if you liked this review...please hit the like button 👇 and show me some love ❤Thanks😉

The worst experience ever it is a waste of time and money, food is not tasty at all even the food was not cooked well and I had to ask them to cook it again! No many options in menu and prices are expensive even though you are not getting a good taste. Surprisingly they say it is Lebanese restaurant my 2 years old girl can cook a better spicy potato. Not recommend at all

Great food. Authentic! Comfortable seats. Beautiful view of the dancing fountains. Its a must-do when in Dubai Mall.

Great food . Great service. Perfect for lunch or dinner.

Had breakfast here. It tasted good but the service is very slow and I had to remind them by order for 3 times. I feel wait time for breakfast to be prepared 35 min is too much. Restaurant seems under staffed compared to the number of the tables being served.

Perfect view, perfect shisha and excellent food. Loved this place. If you are in dubai mall take a break and must visit this place for food shisha and view. Sitting there you can enjoy fountain show.Try Orange+lemon+mint shisha. Mr AbdulGhafar is good at his job and he made it perfect. Food was also good though quantity was less but still over all 4 stars for this place.

My first time! Service was v good and courteous. Salad was indeed good. Was disappointed with the grilled garlic that was served cold instead of hot charcoal grilled. The shawarma meat was served cold not even warm. Overall the mixed platter was fair. Lastly the kinaffa dessert was not crisp! We spoke to the chef and he said it was microwaved ! Very much un Lebanese! DISAPPOINTED! To say the least. Will I return ? No? Will I recommend? No . Wish this restaurant lives up to its name!

We have a fantastic night at this place, great food and nearby the Dubai fountain and burj khalifa tower.

The staff is friendly, the atmosphere in the outdoor area is amazing around Dubai dancing fountain and Burj khalifa.Shisha is very good, The desert are a bit pricy but affordable and tasty.

After a very good experience a year or so ago, we decided to take our special friend/couple to taste some amazing Lebanese food to Zahr Al Leymoun.We started off with some salads and drinks which were nice and we couldn’t wait for the hot starters & main course as we had spoken so much about this place to our guests. The starters arrived and seemed a little cold and not freshly made. Specially the accompanied grilled garlic which is their speciality was absolutely cold like taken out of a cold storage. When we mentioned to the waitress she offered to bring us hot / fresh garlic but yet again, it seemed that they mildly warmed the frozen ones.The main course mix grill was good, but shawarma platter once again seemed ok. Lastly we ordered the Famous Arabic dessert Khunafa. What we got was a complete disappointment. When we complained to the waitress the manager then came to speak to us and admitted that they just microwave frozen / packed Khunafa. For a restaurant of this standard, overall I must say it was a big disappointment. The only compensation they provided was that we were not charged for Khunafa, as we had barely eaten it anyways!Also, keeping in mind the current conditions, the staff and management did not make any attempt to ensure seating people with proper social distancing measures, which also was a little disturbing.

Nice restaurant in a good location. Sitting next to the Worlds tallest building and having a bite from arabic cuisine is a great experience. Especially after 7:30 in the evening, you can see the musical fountains dancing on a tune from different cultures. Food is good and service is quick. It is great for a luxury dining experience but still a balanced price. The photos I am sharing is taken in the late evening, so they are a bit dark.

Good Lebanese restaurant, variety menu, there is a shisha

I have eaten here before. Food is good and the shisha is too. Very polite service.

Delicious Lebanese food overlooking the fountain and Burj Khalifa! My husband and I shared a selection of hot and cold mezze items, all were fresh, tasty and beautifully served. Great service and attention to detail - worth trying this spot for a special dinner. Brilliant vegetarian options available too!

One of the best shisha places near the fountain. Food is good and they have seats outside. I would give it a 5 stars if the AC was working properly in the smoking area ... sometimes it gets really hot.

Just bought takeaway lentil soup, jumbo scrimp and saffron rice. Absolute disgrace what I have been given for 104 AED. Will not come back.

Nice view. Good food. Service can be improved. Not advised if you want to make a conversation over dinner as music of Dubai fountain and light shows plays after every 15 minutes.

Food and shisha was average. Service was great

Good place , Food isn’t outstanding

Food didn’t match the expectations as the reviewsMeat taste badAll the appetizers less than normalEven the plates on the table full of dust even if we didn’t request to change they will not even notice

[If youre vising or in Dubai during the winter you must go to Zahr El Laymoun with their tasty Lebanese dishes and amazing view youd enjoy your time in that wonderful weather. We were almost 10-12 persons so we almost tried most of the dishes on the menu, and it all tasted good!]^^This was a review I wrote a year ago! And I take it all back! We had our worst experience in a restaurant so far. The non-smoking area was beneath the smoking area (which makes them all smoking area). The manager was rude towards us, ignored our constant calls, allowed smoking in the non-smoking area, and asked the waiters to ignore our complains. When he was told that a complain would be filed for his unacceptable behavior (and there are cameras for proof), his actions changed. Unbelievable!

Good food with a nice atmosphere. Staff are very friendly.

Great food, great shisha great service and prices and competition for their prime location, you can view the Dubai dancing fountain from there. They are also on tje entertainer app so you can enjoy the deals on food

The food is always fresh and the view is great.Everything was perfect starting from Hospitality, food, comfort.And if you are going at night; You can enjoy the dancing fountain.Go here and enjoy great food!

Great traditional ambience with views of Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall and Fountain.. friendly staff, Food was tasty, in fact shisha was good too however our dining experience disturbed due to multiple flies in and around our table(should say management cared about all aspects of restaurant except for flies part).. initially it was 1 or 2 but by the the time we started consuming food, it turned out to be group of them.Complained to staff, who responded by bringing in coffee beans with charcoal to get rid off them. Manager too attended us offering gesture of good will with us by offering other meal which was not required.. would appreciate if the management can look into these aspects which will avoid inconvenience to customers from around the world who dine in here..

We went for the Iftar buffet. Choices from the buffet where rice... and rice.... and a couple of salads. We couldn’t believe paying that crazy amount of money when even menu is cheaper. Absolutely ridiculous. We made reservation couple of days before, they still seat u whenever they want when they have plenty of other nicer seats with better view.

Went there for Iftar. There was a single queue for around 100 people and I could only have my food 30 minutes after Iftar. The service wasnt good either. We had made a reservation but they didnt have it down. It took so long for the service to get glasses and water that we had to get up and do it on our own. The food was good but the whole experience was not to be had again. I am not sure how this place is normally but I would not recommend going for Iftar.

Best hookah I smoked while visiting dubai. And the spot is amazing. What a beautiful place, staff and service.Abdal Ghafar the hookah guy is the best and Rida both are great peopleNizar is the best waitress hereI honestly love this place

The food is always fresh and the view is great. Everything was perfect starting from Hospitality, food, comfort. You can enjoy the dancing fountain. Go here and enjoy great food!

Breakfast was unbelievable! Every plate was work of art. The baked eggs were heavenly. Must visit for breakfast / brunch.

Poorest quality of food I had in long time!You don’t expect a Labanese restaurant in heart of dubai to suggest you SPECIAL dish of the day - only to find freezing cold beef and potato grill!Shocked as I was - politely asked that if it is meant to be served cold! He said , ‘ it’s hot sir’. But then he was shocked - yet not embarrassed to feel it as freezer cold!He took it and microwaved it and brought back same dish (without changing) and it smelled soggy and actually disgusting!Never again!

Food quantity not equal to what you pay.With six persons I need to pay double of the bill comparing to Lebanese and Turkish restaurants in same place with better view to fountain. I need to order and order many things to full the table especially when I have visitors from outside uae.

Good place with gorgeous view, but worst service and annoying shisha‘s guy!!

This is a ok restaurant. They have deals on Entertainer app - two main course for price of one, which is great. The prices are mid-range affordable.The staff are not fluent in English, but the menus are explaining enough. The outdoor terrace is big with a great view at Burj Kalifa.

Faultless staff, beautiful views facing the burj al Khalifa and fountains if youre sitting outside. They also offer shisha. Personally for a big foodie like me the food was very mediocre and bland. The favourite thing I ordered was the fattoush salad which was refreshing like it should be. I ordered the half chicken with potatoes and it was difficult to eat as there just wasnt enough flavour. The potatoes looked over baked and were sweet in flavour which didnt go with the meal.

I have never been in a worst restaurant in Dubai. This can be by far the worst. Not only it is extremely expensive for his over-rated menu, but also the waiters were rude and arrogant.The food was horrible with no particular taste. I am a Lebanese and I know what the Lebanese Cuisine should taste like. It was a total disappointment.

Awesome food, excellent service, great vibe! Christian is the best waiter!

Great food and good service

The food 6/10 service 8/10 the view 10/10 price 9/10 $$

Very gloomy, the menu is really outdated, same dishes for a very long time. Some staff members are impolite and rude.

One of the best Lebanese restaurants that I have been in! Their food tastes very fresh and non oily. Most of not all of the deep fried Lebanese food is baked.With a very nice and juicy selection of grills accompanied by great mezza’s (starters) this place is great for family or friends gathering.The atmosphere is great with the restaurant recently renovated. There is indoor seating as well as outdoor. There is a separate section a for smokers (shisha).The staff are great and very helpful, and it is very close to the Burj view for the fountain desolate. You might have to get up and get and closer to get a decent view tough.Location wise it is best to get there from Souk Al Bahar for easier access and parking or you can cross the bridge from the Dubai Mall.

Quality oo~~kay, pricey for food quality

Excellent variety of sea food and also available tables on floating decks in Burj khalifa lake

Usually they do a very tasty food.. but Ramadan buffet is very bad .. we were shocked to be honest.. there is no variety at all and the price is way too much for this buffet

Good mix grilled chicken and 🥩

Delicious food and nice location..

Food: 5 starStaff: 3 starDecoration: 3 starWe booked a table for Iftar in a non-section smoking area, However, they put us in the smoking area without a simple explanation!

Love this place! definitely worth eating here as the food is great just a little pricey. but you get what you pay for and it is absolutely worth a visit. probably one of the best restaurants in souk al bahar

Beautiful, stunning flavors and presentation. The interior is beautifully designed and inviting. Just steps away from Dubai mall and right on the water. Its a treat.

Great view of the Burj and the dancing fountains. Outdoor seating is much better. Food is typical and nothing special. Shisha lovers would enjoy this place.

If there was a WORST RESTAURANT in Dubai award, zahr El laymoun would DEFINITELY win it.Waiters Are all over you with fake jokes and even faker smiles, menu is void of any real Lebanese food, WAY Overpriced and the food, oh well, the food is just horrible. And if you think that the portions would balance this horrible experience, you couldnt be more wrong; portions are fit for a 7 years old who ate at home and came with his family to snack.The only Lebanese thing in here is the Sannine water.Summary? Steer FAR away from this place if you care about what you eat, care about your hard earned cash, or have any taste buds and common sense.

Nice lebanese food.

Wonderful patio dining overlooking the water features and bridge into the Dubai Mall by the Burj Al Kalifa. People enjoying hookahs, all types of mezze dishes, meats, juices, to, etc. It is too easy to keep trying dishes until, bam! youre stuffed. Be patient. Enjoy the crowd of International humanity and the amazing light show on the Burj and magical dancing fountain before or after your meal. A special evening, for sure.

Nice, clean, tasty food specially Mashawi. Pleasant young smart employees .. dxb mall fountains can be easily seen. Love this place.

The food was really nice and the shisha perfect

The place is comfy and cozy , the food is really good. Thank you “ Muzty” for the warming hospitality and my kid really enjoy the ice cream sweet with kunafa

We have been there for Iftar. First of all crowd was not well managed . We had to wait a lot to get the food. Also after some time food got over and not refilled some of our friends end up not having main dishes.
