It’s satisfying to see a Lebanese establishment with amazing menu and great service. On top of that the staff is professional and generous. Of course the entertainment is fun and the singer is excellent.

They have the best hummus and tabouleh. Very creamy and I love their vibes.

The food at Antika is consistently great. I’ve dined here 3 times and I’ve never been disappointed. If you want Lebanese, make sure you pay this place a visit.Prior to covid they had a stage where performers would entertain the patrons. I hope that’ll come back. Now they have an outdoor area as well. It’s getting hot outside but perhaps late at night it’s still nice to enjoy the night outdoors and smoke some Shisha

We were there with friends for Friday brunch and it was great. It’s located in the heart of DIFC so super easy to reach there. Food was delicious, passion fruit mojito amazing but atmosphere was the best. Live music was great and everyone was having their best time. I will go back there to have this experience again.

The music was way too loud, and the overall experience suffered because our group of friends were unable to talk or enjoy the evening. We were wrongly billed and they mistakenly charged us little over a AED 1000 for someone elses order. Had we not checked, we wouldve been ripped off. Wasnt value for money. The belly dancer was very good. Overall, not worth the value or the experience

Very expensive place with very poor menu ..No food varieties, the beverage menu only espresso and alcohol..and they charge a high minimum for what!!Okay at least put some options in the menu to enjoy the stay.Unprofessional.

You have to book a table, Friday 2pm to 6 or 7 not sure. Arabic Songs. Best DJ, amazing singer and belly dancer. The brunch package price is reasonable. The shisha is for 100DHS, i find it expensive especially if you want to have another one they will charge another 100 which is not good. I paid almost 500dhs. I highly recommend trying it out.

Nostalgically took me back into Beiruts authenticity with fusion Lebanese food and live performances! This place will WOW you upon entry. The slightest details have been worked up to perfection, and I cant wait for more shows to see!

We went for the Mezza monday night. The mood and vibes were amazing. Food was great and service was excellent.Open Lebanese Mezza and drinks (Arak, whiskey and wine) for 199 aed... it was worth it and highly recommended.

I asked for juice from the menu which price 25 and he said he dont have, but he has mohijto so I ordered and on the bill i was charged for 45 and its not from the menu.The food tastes was normal nothing fresh or was cooked in special way.The prices are too high, I paid 290 for two person and its not worth it, and I didnt like the way they ask for tips after bringing the recipe

Something is terribly wrong at this place, really! Just avoid, go somewhere to get value back for your money.. this place is a complete rip off, a fraud really!We were 6 on a table on ladies night (Wednesday) the moment we sat they told us the minimum spend is 2,500AED!!!!!!!! Per table, which I honestly believe is BS because it just doesnt make sense… the waiters are super rude, and they keep bouncing asking you to order more, and kept telling us if you keep your ordering pace you will never reach 2,500AED, they keep getting you stuff without you even ordering! At the end we paid 2,500AED and were not able to make use of the whole amount of money no matter what we ordered…Really, save your money and dignity and go somewhere worth your money! Nothing special in this place, except full of Arabs.. sound system is bad, no corona measures whatsoever the place was full, food is not really that wow.To summarize: a rip off, the rudest treatment you will ever get, disrespectful, no value for money, a below average place with an extremely overpriced rates.I just wish to know if there was actually a minimum spend of 2,500AED per table for all tables, or we have been ripped off!I ask the management of this gloomy place to get in touch.And just to clarify: i dont care about how much money we paid honestly if it was justified, but when i feel i was ripped off and my money was stolen, i get very upset…

Ive been in this restaurant twice and it is always a pleasure to go to Antika! The location is unique, the Lebanese cuisine here is delicious and the quality of the food is very high. Today we also enjoyed live music and belly dancing show, I really had a great time! Its ideal for birthday parties, brunch and dinner.

Review №31

Very bad experience 😕 my wife was wearing a brand sandals they refused to let us in arguing as its not allowed as per their policy but the truth that we booked a table before 2 days and the place was full thats why they rejected to let us in🚫 and the night is smart casual night which is not mentioned at all will never go there again not to mention the unprofessional stuff treatment and the way in talking to clients along with the poor experience in serving clients.

Review №37

Huge disappointment ! Bad service، not comfortable seats and small tables, did not feel safe and comfortable to see they load 12 persons in a space designed for 6 max.We were not able to see any show due to the tables design Although we booked and requested for a good table but the given one was the worst. The way they managed our claim is also the worst.Food, below the average and I did not even touch. We had to have dinner after having leaft the place and spent a good amount for nothing.First time and surely last time.

It was very bad sevice, we were waiting for an hour to get good table while we called and booked a table before and once one got free they gave it to others while we were the first in the queue and of course we left and no one came to apologize.Not recommended at all

Review №43

Place: small and gloomy, unlike the one in Beirut.Tables organization give negative vibes and many of the seats are planned opposite to the stage, so most guests won’t see the show unless they turn their neck for hours ending up with a neck strain!Hospitality: bad! I called to reserve and asked for a good table, then called again a day before to reconfirm assigning us a good table. When I arrived at 9pm the place was literally almost empty. They chose to give us the worst table in the restaurant, in a corner next to a chiller at the end! When we requested one of the tables in front of the stage we were denied for no particular reason. We said we will leave if we don’t get a proper table, the reply was go ahead and leave!Decor: below averageOverall vibe: negativeNever going there again!Go ahead and save your tables for your “secret” guests! Inconceivable!

This restaurant has the best Lebanese food and music in town. If you are looking for an entertainment hotspot while dining and savouring Lebanese dishes with a twist, this is your place! The type of entertainment was nothing short of amazing, and the service is exceptional. Went a couple of times, and each experience got better and better. Really happy there is a new spot in town!

I was surprised reading some of the reviews here prior, the the service/atmosphere we experienced was actually some of the best Ive had in any bar, anywhere.Staffs were Friendly, attentive, and they were wonderful.This place is at the upper end of the price scale, but we found it was better value than some of the others around the area in my experience. I guarantee a fun and wonderful night for everyone highly recommend it.

Review №55

The place is so tight and jammed with people.. And for the music, Im not sure if it will get better since I went the first week, but the music wasnt as great as Antika Night used to be.. theyre trying so hard to put a million things together and it just isnt clicking with the audience. We went from a live band with a saxophone to a belly dancer to a singer with another band to the DJ, who was playing all Egyptian, then all Lebanese, then all GCC music (not mixing, so the result is that he always had a big number of the people there feeling disconnected at all times) and most of the songs were so slow to dance to anyway... we stayed until 2am then figured that no way its getting better and had to leave and go to another place. On our way out a couple of other people were complaining tooHope they find their groove soon otherwise this place is set to fail

We went on ladies night and were charged 2 times more than we were supposed to. The waiter gave us a hand written receipt which was unprofessional and brought the card machine to take payment straight away. They called to ask about our visit and told them what happened and they said they will get back to us and no did till nowWill never recommend or go back unfortunately..

One of the worst experiences ever in dubai , called for pre booking and they confimed on the availability for space , once i arrived there no space to step on even non space to put ash tryReceptionist was try to ask 2 guests to leave because they were not pay the fees which gave me impression that there a lot of discrepancy over thereI decided to leave and there is no apologise from the receptionistIm not sue if the place was designed to received multinational guests or it Lebanese oriented only

Honestly, a very bad place, not being received in a good way by the staff at the door, and they deleted our reservation without even contacting us if we were on the way or not. This and the parking place itself demands payment even though we didnt even take five minutes with them. It was a bad experience to not recommend to visit the place ever especially Poekend

I expect that they are working on improving the service and dealing, I booked and I am afraid of the comments and of changing the price or canceling the reservation, but the place is nice and DJ Bashir was great and the singer Ziad had a nice atmosphere and we were two people, and the food was good and we paid 1000 dirhams Including drinks, shisha and food

Sa
Review №93

We contacted to reserve a table for two people and the response was that the number should be at least four people or pay 2000 dirhams as a minimum..As per the venue policy.A strange policy that the most luxurious restaurants in Dubai are ashamed of applying. Prove that the negative comments about you are true.

Antica Bar is an Arabic restaurant located in the Dubai International Financial Center, the restaurant offers a wide variety of oriental food from appetizers to main dishes and desserts, as well as they have wonderful live shows of belly dancing, singing and playing, the design of the restaurant is very beautiful and it is inspired by the ancient Lebanese theaters.I booked a table a week before the appointment and when I arrived at the restaurant they did not enter me because one of my companions wore shorts and therefore we went back to the hotel to change and they did not clarify this matter to me before when booking or on the same day when confirming Hajj, and there is also difficulty in finding The situations and the food were very bad, tasted bad, the performances were not of high quality and they did not take into account all the tastes of singing and that you have to pay to hear what you want.The reservation was on my birthday but I didnt see any interaction from them.Bad experience I dont recommend.
