I loved this place. Amazing decor, amazing menu, great prices. With the menu items all being small bites its a great place to go and try theor dishes. As a vegetarian on every menu slot they had a vegetarian option which is amazing to see. Well done to them. Highly recommended and my top 5 stars.

Amazing! The food is great and interior design is very nice and feels authentic!

Love the fine decor!! Service was great from beginning to end. The duck ramen was awesome. Broth was sublime, and the marinated ramen egg was creamy and flavorful. Soft shell crab bao is highly recommended!! Would love a bigger serving though🤣

Ambience:The space is magnificent. A charming interior which is like nothing I’ve seen in Dubai. The moment you pass through the door you feel as if you have entered a different world. The spiral stairs take you down and down to different levels of the restaurant and each level has its own charm and mystery to it. Very cozy and special ambience. Both the indoor and outdoor sittings are exceptionally mesmerizing. I absolutely loved the vibe of the place .⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️Food:Perfect, the taste and presentation were amazing.

It leaves a very memorable and positive imprint on the diner.

I had an amazing night here. I love the ambiance of the place. Giving me Soho, N.Y.C vibe with it’s interior design.They have decent price in their menu from their Bao’s, Pho’s , Noodles and other selections of drinks. I tried their Duck Ramen and it taste Ok for me but not great, I think the serving is small for the price, but the serving plates and bowls are all Instagram worthy.I recommend this for after office catch ups during weekdays.

Fantastic restaurant.First of all, when you walk in the restaurant, you truly have to appreciate the architect and interior designer for the outstanding work theyve done to create this beautiful restaurant.You will feel absolutely welcomed right from the moment you meet the pleasant ladies at the door to the servers who smile at you constantly even behind a covid19 mask.The quality of the food is superb. I absolutely love the food. I came here for the Friday brunch and every dish was beautifully crafted.Dont miss this restaurant when in Dubai.

I’ve been to BB Social on multiple occasions over the years and have never had a bad experience. They do super cool collaborations and events. Their interiors are unique and they also have an outdoor garden and indoor bar seating over multiple levels. I love their baos and bowls of pho. They do a great business lunch deal also. Bookings are essential and they have free valet parking for 2 hours.

Cozy place with strange ladder 😅. The food is delicious to find a place u should book. The sando and the lentil salad were so yummy 😋

We were there for midday snacks, selection of drinks and food was great, I love the interior design and ambience of the restaurant. Prices are bit high but worth trying.

BB has been in Dubai for quite some time now and every time I go I have had an incredible time. I love the food as most of the dishes are nutritious as well as delicious, it’s not too expensive either especially if you have to compare to the other restaurants around the vicinity.I love their Brussel Sprouts and the crunchy Katsu Sandwiches, definitely a must-try!For more reviews and pictures follow me on Instagram @sana or Sana.ae

Superb restaurant in DIFC, would love to go back

One of my favorite places in Dubai, it’s such a hidden gem. Must-have cocktails are the Ginger Tale and Garden Tonic. For dessert, the Waffle Apple Pie and Fry Pan Brownie are you die for. I also just love the interior, it is so modern and gorgeous. Enjoy!

Love the multi-level space! Ordered drinks and an appetizer to share. The cauliflower popcorn was really good! The drinks were creative, smooth and potent. Would return to try some mains and more cocktails. Definitely a place to dress up and socialize with friends.

Great spot for special occasions or mingling with friends.The table space seems a bit small.To book in advance, they ask for your payment card, and theyll charge you if you dont show up (150/person).We wanted to order dessert but we were told we cant because someone booked our table and he will be coming in 15 minutes.The food was good though!

Great place, great brunch food.. But being told that the last drink is coming at 3.45 when we are still having diner as they cant handle the rhythm because of the overcrowded restaurant and lack of waiters.. Totally unacceptable!

Love the food here! We have visited on multiple occasions for dinner as well as brunch. Food is always on point, cocktails are delicious and service is attentive. They alway readily happy to cater my gluten-free diet. Amazing value for money in DIFC.

One of the fav spots in DIFC area. Perfect for dinners / lunches. The interior is fantastic over 3 floors and sections for both smoking and non smoking. The lowest floor is my fav for its interior and spiral stairs.Food quality is amazing and service is great. Youll not go wrong with BB social, give them a shot

This is an excellent concept that is perfectly executed. The menu is great and the food is excellent. It has an Asian twist to it and you can get one of the best Vietnamese pho’s here and lots of other delicious dishes. It’s one of the best in Dubai. The owners are the operators and that’s one huge part of their success.

Super nice bao buns and ramen

I have visited BB Social today 25th July for my fiancés birthday and our timing was 8pm to 10pm.We arrived at 825,nevertheless, when we wanted to order food at 940, the waiter bluntly refused. We were aware about the private event,however, the waiter did not even Once come and ask if we wanted to order any main course or alerted us on the last order timing due to the private event. He was straight up rude,nor apologetic. Later when we requested to meet the restaurant manager Daniel,he too showed no courtesy to show any concern towards the service issue or understand that a celebration was ruined for us. Im from Hospitality background and this is totally unacceptable. No effort was made to ensure we get the best service. We could have easily been served and would have left by maximum 1010 as the restaurant was still empty or could have politely said no, instead of saying no you have to leave right now. Just wanted to bring this to Managements notice so that it is not repeated with any other customer. We will certainly Not recommend this very popular restaurant to anyone.

BB Social Dining not only talks the talk, but walks the walk as the bar set high by the chic interiors and fit-outs that welcome you as you walk into any of the 3 floors, delivers throughout the meal, as course after course continues to floor you. Whats most impressive, is that they not only maintained their standards over the years, but have continued to add on and improve upon what was already a remarkable menu to begin with.BB Social Dining not only talks the talk, but walks the walk as the bar set high by the chic interiors and fit-outs that welcome you as you walk into any of the 3 floors, delivers throughout the meal, as course after course continues to floor you. Whats most impressive, is that they not only maintained their standards over the years, but have continued to add on and improve upon what was already a remarkable menu to begin with.My husband is not a party brunch guy, he likes a classy affair and he likes to be able to carry on a conversation that isn’t drowned out by obnoxiously loud music. Both of us prefer ala carte brunches because no sane person wants to voluntarily shuffle back and forth between buffet lines, balancing plates piled high with eclectic menu items that are an abomination to each other (both visually and palatably). If you’re like my husband and I, just head to BB Social Dining, and thank me later.What is quite possibly most impressive about this brunch is the price. Starting at AED 250, this has to be one of the most reasonably priced brunches in town. You can order 1 main course and dessert per person, but the elderflower sparkling is free-flowing (we had the non-alcoholic package) and the starters are unlimited, and that to me is the biggest win possible.

I now know what BB stands for - Best Brunch! I had such a lovely Friday brunch here with friends last weekend. The quality of the food, the service and the ambience made it a perfect venue. My friends were on champagne and briefly I had FOMO (!) but the Greek white wine was of such good quality that I rejoiced at my decision to save a few dirhams! The Negronis later were amazing too! Service here is outstanding, with attentive, friendly waiters. The food is amazing - the starters kept coming... I particularly enjoyed the beef tartare, veal croquettes, chicken wings and the beef bao. My vegetarian friends raved about the crispy sprouts... I particularly enjoyed the ambience here - background music not so loud so we could enjoy conversation without shouting. Other venues could learn from this... Thank you very much BB Social. I will look forward to another Big Rainbow brunch hopefully very soon.

Nice

Casual place .. crowded but Cousy strange design .. I like it

One of my all-time favorites, located right by the valet of Gate Village 8, enter into a cozy three-story European home, that offers top notch Baos and Phos, but also the best super green Hummus. And great vegetarian options like the cauliflower popcorn with truffle sauce. Staff is super friendly, too. And its one of those places where you can come as you are. Very refreshing in DIFC!

Cute, quaint, comfy. Great food, excellent service. Perfect location

Lovely new dining option in the DIFC Village Gate 8 building. It is also accessible directly from the street level right before the main DIFC entrance. The venue spans over three floors and two outside dining areas.The stars of the show are the Baos. There’s one for every taste. My preference goes to the crispy duck. Just wonderful. The chicken is not bad either. Unfortunately they didn’t have the foie gras beef available. The wine list is ok, and the cocktail selection is not too bad. However, the place is desperately lacking in beer options. The desserts are nothing to write home about. Just the usual American hodgepodge of sweetness.

Nice ambience on terrace and garden .. great option for dates and sharing .. professional staff .. unique foods and taste .. don’t miss green humus, bao, and popcorn .. prefer booking

Ordered in timeout market what is supposed to be an A5 grade Japanese wagyu tenderloin of 4 bites wrapped in toasted bread and ended up with a cheap non graded and non marbeled fillet. When i confronted the staff they said it might be Australian wagyu not JapaneseA5. Challanged them to show me the label and they said you want to bet, i said yes. Then they turned back to doing their thing. When i said i am waiting to see the label and was upset with the lack of integrity, they said come to the back of the restaurant and lets discuss. I also tried the duck Bao which was mediocre. I was shocked by the lack of integrity and dont recommend them at all.

One of our best meals in Dubai, the food was out of this world, dishes are good for sharing, lots of vegetarian and seafood as well and great beef sliders too. Very nice selection of cocktails as well, we sat on the top floor outdoors, very cozy and unique. For sure will be back.

Great food and cocktails. A hidden gem in the DIFC

Best place in dubai for a casual lunch or dinner. Loved the baos, the sweet potato fries with that beautiful dip. service. Will visit again. The team at BB knows how to make you feel special, and they pay a lot of attention to the quality of food.

The sweet potato fries were real good..However I wouldn’t be able to go there just for that…the fish was super salty…we told the server and he said he would let the chef know…we didn’t eat it and paid for it..kinda leaves a fishy taste after all

The best bao’s i have had so far. Super yummy, a bit pricy but worth it! Habibi and habiba baw! 🔥🔥🔥

Delicious, creative and well presented food however let down by slow and slightly unresponsive service.The decor is cosy and chic but can get exceedingly dark during the evenings (specifically in the non-smoking area).The pricing is generally on the higher end given the portion sizes. On average 250 AED per person with alcohol.TIP 1: Reserve a table on the balcony/outdoor patio.TIP 2: The cauliflower popcorn is 👌

Great place. David our waiter was fantastic. Massive shame we had to rush off because of sick little boy at home.

Nice vibes & energy! Mouth-watering food. 😋

Very unique food with an Asian twist. The menus is great with great dishes to choose from.The restaurant is set in multi floors with some being indoors and other outdoor making the experience very cozy and different from many restaurant you might find in Dubai.It is a hidden gem literally as it was very hard there find the place when walking in the DIFC. Go to building 8 entrance (it looks like an entrance for an office building) located in a small corridor after you pass the shops to the right of the escalators. Another way is just to enter it from the street entrance which is small but more visible.

Lovely food and cocktails, very welcoming place and good music. Enjoy!

Great bar-restaurant, with an amazing modern decoration and music to match all different styles. Food is delicious and the service is excellent. Many thanks to Stavros, who is a fantastic host. Definitely recommended

DON’T GO THERE IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIESWe specifically warned them about a peanut allergy in the group and they put a peanut dish in front of him.SHAMEFUL !!!!PS: When our friend had issues with his allergies and we complained, they said we should warn them twice and not only once « just to be safe »

I’ve been living in Dubai for over 8 years. This outlet edition to Dubai Restaurant theme is gold. One of my favourite places in Dubai. Delicious, great value fir money, unique and friendly. Thats how i would describe BB’s in short. Can never get tired of their delicious food prepared by amazing Founder and head Chef Alex and his team. Spero who is the Managing Partner will always make sure that your glass is full and that the service is up to the highway standard.Must visit for lunch dinner or in between.

Nice place to have food

Amazing experience! The food and drinks and ambience were incredible!

Absolutely amazing food ! Came in with high expectations and was even better than I could have imagined. Only negative: the mococktails are ridiculously overly priced for their size..

Excellent food and service in this cosy restaurant in DIFC. This is another of my favourite restaurants. Ive never eaten anything I didnt like. Try their soups too - simply superb!

Great restaurant with exceptional value for money ratio! Food was outstanding, loved the concept & atmosphere.

Since I did not dine in the restaurant and ordered in Deliveroo. Its overpriced for such small quantity of food which we’ve ordered. Each bao is above 30 dhs which you finish in two bites.

Great place. Highly recommend!

Ive been following the restaurant for the last 2 yrs! Finally, the time has come to try it. My wife invited me for a surprise birthday dinner! We sat outdoors, it was a small neaty area under the terrace. It wasnt busy at all. It was around 6pm.So, Ive done my research & knew what I was going to order.I ordered the following:1) BB Bao2) Brisket Bao (forgot the name of it now)3) Cauliflower starter4) Sweet Potato Fries5) Wagyu Katsu6) Chicken Katsu7) Chocolate Brownie in a pan (i forgot the name of it)I also wanted to try the lobster roll, but it wasnt available.The portions were good, not like everyone else says. We couldnt finish the food. What was a total letdown is, I expected more! I had so much high expectations of the food, but it was very ordinary. Nothing special at all. The meat was juicy & soft, yet it didnt taste very good. I dono if it wasnt marinated enough? Same for the chicken katsu.As for the baos, the short ribs was much better than the brisket. Both sweet fries & cauliflower were ok, nothing special about any of them.The dessert was good. Not wow. For what I paid, I expected much better taste. Ive tried baos in different countries, and this wasnt anywhere close to any of them.Truth to be told, the seating arrangement and atmosphere is super cool.Will I ever go back again? Maybe for a coffee/dessert. Definitely not for the food.

Excellent brunch..great customer service! Best value for money!🤩For more restaurant reviews follow me on IG @junaheats..😊

This place is a gem among all the restaurants and bars in DIFC. Go there and you wont be disappointed!

I booked a table last night for four people. I got a call at 9:30 exactly (the time of my reservation) asking if we were coming. I was on my way to BB social dining, I had a bit of trouble finding the location. I told the lady on the phone that we will be there in 20 minutes. We arrive at 9:52 and the receptionist tries to pretend as if she does not have a reservation under my name. After she finally finds that I in-fact made a reservation, she proceeds to tell me that we were too late and she gave the table away to someone else. Complete waste of time.Thankfully got a table at MINA brasserie near by, great food and great hostess there. This was probably the rudest, most inconsiderate customer service experience I have had at a restaurant in Dubai.

Right smack bang in the center of DIFC, this converted art gallery to Asian fusion restaurant hit the spot. With in house gin infusions, perfect music mix and surprisingly great priced drinks, and food make this a must see and go to destination for lunch or dinner. Spread over 3 floors the layout offers customers the options to ‘hide away’ for those private meetings or rendezvous..;) a popular choice of many global celebrities when visiting!

Food portions r too small... and the seating is not comfortable

Decent food and overall very good atmosphere sitting out side. The idea is to share and have small plates of food, which meant you are able to try multiple items. Generally food was good with the wagu being the standout item.Overall would recommend

Came for brunch and even before it started had a visit from the manager. Already thumbs up and 5 stars for that. Food pics and review to follow

The spinach edamame hummus was the highlight. The place for world cuisine with a innovative twist. We ordered a take home, the packaging was a tad disappointing

Super upsetting.. we did not get the table we booked and the smoke was too much for my taste

Amazing food and atmosphere

The wagyu katsu and beef bao were phenomenal. The music was too loud for my taste.

I passed through the place to give out my cv coz i was looking for a job, i was supprised how friendly the ladies at the reception were towards me even though i was not benefiting them.

My fav spot in DIFC, best for bites and drinks! It is really a socializing place.

This is a unique resting in DIFC area. It’s very vibrant and serves amazing food. The vibes are very European compared to other international places where you feel they lose identity a little bit.It’s a three floors place but these floors are small. Hence, try to reserve in advance during busy weekends. The upper floor has the bar area and a couple of tables and it is smoking indoors. They also have a cosy small terrace.Make sure to try the bows and their duck plates, these are their highlights.

One of the best places in Dubai. Definitely a must-visit 👌🏻

Excellent food but too expensive for the portions. Truffle Duck Risotto and Lamb Skewers are insanely delicious. Cool and cozy vibe. Not a place for claustrophobes.

The new best place in Dubai. A hidden gem. The waiters are perfect. Great cocktails and even better food. It’s a place for lunch and dinner and even just to sit and kill a few hours between meetings. Well done B.B. Team you rock.

Excellent food and ambience. They however made me feel very alienated at the door as I was wearing smart leather sandles which is against their dress code policy. If this is the case I would suggest their staff smarten up, if their manager can wear converse then they have no place to make judgement.

One of my favourite restaurants in Dubai. Decently priced for a DIFC location, great service and an interesting menu. Do try the peppers as a bar snack and the baos are to die for.

Good food, a bit pretentious

Ambience is casual and cozy yet very trendy and fun. The staff are friendly and happy to help ..As for the food; the Asian dishes and raw fish are recommended over the other options .. the wagyu tenderloin was a little on the dry side but still delish! Butter fish was the best appetizer we tried .. the elderflower nonalcoholic Champagne is TDF .Overall, food is a hit or missAmbience is more than amazingDrinks are very good

Unique food with wonderful taste..

I really didn’t like this place, not recommended. We had small issue with the food and the manager acted in the rudest manner posible. We saw he treated employee the same way. Inhuman

Honestly one of our most favourite dining experiences in Dubai! Their passion for exceptional flavours and high quality ingredients doesnt go amiss! The decor is stunning and youre guaranteed an unforgettable evening!

The place is so cute and very cosy, they optimized the structure of the building to create a cozy European style bistro. The food was good, some items scored 5 and some other scored 4, would have expected a better Wagyu, they have to look into the quality of meat they buy. The service was so efficient and professional, I would definitely give them a 5 for it, friendly and professional service.

This could well be my new favorite restaurant in Dubai. Finally a restaurant that has moved on from the boring over engineered high end, white table cloths, stuffy atmosphere, full of posers, badly trained staff blah blah blah that is so common!It’s a small quaint venue with tons of atmosphere. Sit at the the bar and watch your food being prepared in the open kitchen.Sensibly priced. Friendly, knowledgeable and well trained staff. A menu with well thought out veg options (😱 shock horror) - the chestnut boa was amazing.It’s like being transported back to Soho in London and to me, that’s the highest level of praise I can give!

It’s amazing test and special touch from there Chef. Thanks Chef.

Service is good. Food is so so.Not so many fish options.

Lovely food and a very quaint little place. Enjoyed the lunch menu

Great food and ambience, staff are always friendly!

One of the best places to dine in Dubai. Very friendly staff and phenomenal food! 10/10

This place is unique, unusual and different from anything else you can find in DIFC.The menu cannot be even explained, you should just go and try it. Mixture of different cousins takes you to the trip from Europe through Middle East to India, with a visit to Japan as well. Unbelievably amazing! Green hummus - Highly recommended!Drinks - super! Homemade elderflower champagne - is a must to try.Great ambience with really Warm and welcome atmosphere. Thank you BB’s team for such a wonderful place.

Cozy atmosphere, good food, great serviceRecommend dining in !

Amazing experience, food and service!

This Place in the heart of Dubai at the DIFC is a Restaurant you would not expect here in the middle east. The European decor, over 3 nearly 4 floors takes you away to New York or London. The menu being inspired by Asian travels with an influence of the middle east. Food is outstanding drinks were very creative and unique which is now still hart to top in the DIFC as so many top places have open here. You feel like you entertained at home far away from home and since bb does not breaks your bank its an easy visit twice a week compare to the other big boy’s in town where you can afford it only once a month.

I highly recommend the boa (duck, beef and chicken) the noodles were okay also tasty

If you love the Baos (chineses sanwich) this is your place. Recommend bao of ribs and chicken. The Waygu sanwinch too is excellent. And the Hummus of Edamame for sure.

Great place for dinner

Small restaurant bar. Really good food and funky music. Friendly staff. Bonus for the Greek manager

Great food and drinks menu. Had the soft shell crab bao, the wasabi lobster, the wagyu steak and other tid bits. Had the apple crumble waffle at the end. Great ambience and food

Great restaurant ambiance with good food

Great service, food always on point, menu so varied and always consistent, the vibe is great, weekdays are also busy, the bar area is very cosy and the bartenders are very friendly. One of my fav spots in DIFC!

Cosy setting, which may be good for a date but not for a big group of friends. Not one for value seekers, as the prices are on the higher end (almost as high end as a fine dining establishment, which this is not).

This restaurant is so under ratedThe food is just so trendy and totally unexpected

One of THE best restaurants in DubaiReally amazing food great atmosphere very edgy music sweet staffLove it

Great food!! Very food staff...Great service and yummy food...expensive though but great quality

Tasty and original. Very enjoyable dinner.

Great option if youre staying at DIFC -- friendly, a touch pricy but that would be the location -- my only real criticism would be the noise -- loud music more akin to a nightclub than for dining -- so perhaps dont go on the weekend in the evening if you wish to converse! Otherwise -- I recommend.

Simply amazing all the way around thank you!!!
