Really friendly and chatty waiter who recommended me a delicious lamb dish with rice. Very traditional interior design with Arabic music giving a full experience of UAE. Would definitely come back next time I visit Dubai again! First time having traditional Emirati food and it was spectacular!

This is a fantastic restaurant with great service, great food and great atmosphere. We visited it twice in the same week. It is very well ventilated inside, even during the summer (we visited in July). The roof is closed, which helps keep the place cool. Everything we ordered was to a very good standard and quite tasty. You can also take a walk in the markets nearby.

Amazing. We ordered the Arabian Tea House Special and Turkish coffee, along with the donuts. Everything was delicious, the service was fantastic and the atmosphere was bright, vibrant and fun! We didnt plan on coming here; we were in old Dubai, amd the tea setup for photo op, outside, amd decided to try it.They welcome you with a waft of incense and a smile; the music was great, too!My husband asked if I would come back to Dubai, and it was a reaounding yes- especially here!

I absolutely love this place!Why? 1. The food is delicious. I have been here a few times now, and the food quality is the same every time - great! I order a breakfast plate (which is good for 2) and a side of halloumi cheese pockets (my favorite!) and Karan chai every time.2. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I took my 7 month old here. They got a baby seat for him and every few minutes somebody came to quickly engage with him. He loved it and so did you I!3. It’s beautiful. You don’t feel the pressure of time sitting here. It’s calm and cool. The decor is simple, yet extremely well done.I took my parents here and plan to take all my friends and family that visit me.

This place is the real place for a great quality service and quality of products in breakfast 🥞The good thing over there is the service experience from Both persons.That my special gratitude 🙏🏼 toMary Grace & Asma

This was one of our must visit bucketList when we go to Dubai and we did and the environment was just fine fantastic. I got the Karak Chai and my wife got the coconut and they surprised us with a heart shaped bread which was very thoughtful of them highly recommended if anyone is looking for it. There is no parking but if you can find parking 2-3 drive from the restaurant for 1 hour 10 AED.

A gem of a restaurant with a lively atmosphere, attentive and friendly staff situated on the edge of Al Bastakiya. The menu is traditional Emirate food and worth experiencing for a flavor of the region. Food arrived at the table quickly and the staff couldn’t do enough to ensure we were happy and enjoying our experience.Seating is spacious, offering both indoor and outdoor seating.Worth a visit before or after exploring the souk area.

Now let me say something, 10 years in Dubai and i had no idea that a local traditional breakfast can be this unique and this good !I mean the eggs, don’t know what spices they put in it .. but the egg and tomato was out of this world! ( and i was very hungry😅)The karak was great, the minted lemonade was great, the sweets were great.. i was a happy satisfied person when I came out of this place. 🤤Staff were very helpfully and friendly; the ambience of the place is very nice.

What a lovely restaurant. Beautiful decor and outstanding service ! We dined here to experience Emirati food. Traditional Arabic food is also offered here. I enjoyed the district flavors of Emirati food while my companions like the pita bread and hummus.

Staff is super, I will repeat super.. supportive of all requests. The decor is amazing and the temperature inside is between 22 to 26 Celsius. Food quality is way above average and for 140 to 180 you can get 3 course meal for 2 people. The type of food is local for all tastes and with some vegetarian options.

The ambiancee is something you cant miss when you come to Dubai! i always bring my guest here whenever someone visits! food is amazing, servers are attentive, and price is quite good! always love my experience!

Loved this spot! Such a cute place to cool off and enjoy a delicious meal. Great for vegetarians as well!

Pretty designed restaurant with good food and drink. All of them are tasty, and having good service experience from the nice staffs. Highly recommend.

This is. A different type of royal Arbian Ranches touch restaurant at alseef

I absolutely love love love this place! A good chill spot for tea and food in the middle of an afternoon! I will definitely go again when I am in town ❤️

What a beautiful place this is, super breakfast is what I had, but I’m sure gonna be back for lunch. What a variety of breakfast’s they have here, service is also outstanding.

What an amazing experience! The food and the place is just outstanding. The place is just so gorgeous. Absolutely love the staff as well. Their wasn’t anything we didn’t like on the menu that we tried.A totally must visit place

Best place that you could ever go . Scintillating instagrammable interiors . Most efficient staff . scrumptious food. Arabic cuisine and culture in the most amazing form. A must visit in Dubai.

We went there during December 2020, at the middle of the pandemic.The service was very good, the food was excellent, a very nice vibe and decor.If you’re looking for a place that serves good food after strolling the market this is the place for you!

Very popular restaurant in Al Fahidi Historical District for traditional emanating cuisine, my favorite restaurant, very clean and very good service

Most amazing place with unique ambiance.The food selection was awesome. Whatever we ordered was most delicious.A must visit for excellent experience.

Wonderful authentic atmosphere and flavours. Enjoyed the Egyptian breakfast, especially the date syrup. Average AED60/person. Points for improvement: the doorway for the toilet is small and you can bump your head while exiting. It would be good to put foam or bright yellow tape to avoid injuries. I would have liked to see low fat and milk alternatives for the coffee. It was nice to provide a basket for handbags. Parking is not convenient unless you pay for valet.

Nice ambience and attentive staff. We had the special salad which was very refreshing and the portion is good for sharing. The fried Sherry fish was well cooked and although the staff mentioned that its good for one person, we felt like it was quite enormous.

Outdoor seating is instagram worthy, Indoor not bad either. Crowd is awesome here. Perfect spot for tourists as well as residents to experience fine Arabic cuisine. One of those places Ill suggest to all my friends visiting Dubai. To top it all, amazing food.

What an amazing cafe and restaurant. I think we had the best hummus of our trip here. The food and ambience is out of the world. We had limited days otherwise would have come here again for a meal.

Great restaurant in the old town. The service and food were perfect. The place is decorated in a good manner. Worth to pay a visit

Really good, just wished they served breakfast past 1, specially on weekends. One of the best luqaimat i have had in Dubai so far, delicious. Super friendly staff very accommodating and the location is perfect you can always take a walk and see the Bastakiya area.

Totally loved the vibe and ambiance of this place. Great spot for weekend breakfast. The food portion was so generous and felt authentic. My favorite is their tea options.

Loved it!!I highly recommend it.The place by itself its stunning. From outside youd not expect to have a beautiful place like that waiting for you. The food was great and very good price for a touristic area.But the best thing is the service. All of them are amazing from the ladies who take the orders to the people who deliver the food❤️. I will definitely go to try different branches.

Ambience:This place which is located in the middle of the historical part of Dubai resembles everything we miss in this modern life. A very simple and traditional interior which is complemented with a traditional cuisine. I have been to this place twice, once for lunch and once for breakfast and just loved it. It takes you away from the fast pace world and takes you back in time to a time when things were simpler and you didn’t have to worry about the calories or your next chore of the day ...Love the serenity this place awakens....⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️Food:Traditional food with a very traditional and cute presentation. The food is very tasty . I love the variety of dishes and the breakfast plate. The Karak is super good.⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️Service:Service is really good . Staff are very energetic and helpful. The manager himself is very attentive and very welcoming. Also he has loads of information about the food and the history of the place which is very intriguing to listen to.⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️Overall:I love this area of Dubai and visit very often and definitely recommend this place for both breakfast and lunch or dinner.

Very nice location, and waiters were very nice. The food was awesome. There were so many potential places where you can take pictures. Anyone including tourist should visit here.

Great experience in the early morning with a cup of saffon tea, cool atmosphere, comfortable bright space, attentive service, 10 points for the attentiveness of the staff

Beautiful place. I came here for a very late lunch and it was very very good. I love also the hibiscus tea and hibiscus ice tea (I took both because I couldn’t decide between them 😅) the Personal was very attentive and lovely. I had the impression that they care about their guests. Only negative I can say is the bathroom next to the kitchen area (was kind of weird that’s so openly positioned) and that’s it gets quite loud inside ...

I am not sure about the authenticity of the food but it was DELICIOUS!!!! We ordered Chicken kebab (or chicken on skewers), Shrimp Machboos, Fattoush (salad), hibiscus iced tea, and ended our meal with some Arabic coffee.The place was lovely, the atmosphere was matched with a very accommodating staff. They were friendly and asked us if we needed anything every second (in a good way).Also, due to covid they were using disposable utensils and paper plates. If you wish to change it, you can ask them to change it to proper ones.

If you’re in for some Arabic food, then go for Arabian Tea House. Emirati specialties, good ambience and friendly staff!

Beautiful place with great environment, and good food

The ambient is very nice and as if you have step back in time. A very instagramable place.

After having read about the Restaurant managed to drop by on my last day- was definitely worth venturing out in the summer heat to explore Al Seef street and finish off with this generous Arabic Breakfast.The service is warm, friendly and quick. The food was tasty and the atmosphere comfortable, cosy and kept very cool amidst the intense heat.Definitely worth a visit.

Instagram influenced me to visit this restaurant. I thought It would just be vibes and Inshallah but the food was really good and the arabian tea was refreshing. The vibes were strong and the inside was giving me Santorini! 10 over 10.

Its a magical place, tasty food and good hospitality ❤️

Lovely food lovely service, I can heartily recommend this place. On the edge of a historical part of the city, well worth wandering around this whole area. Such a tranquil contrast to the craziness of downtown Dubai.

Really loved this restaurant! We asked some food to share and love the bread and the hummus just amazing , the ice tea was also very nice .However for the dessert we tried the camel milk ice cream and it was a no for us

Quality of its kind is a characteristic of this hoause.Its offers various foods for different countries emirati foods , Pakistani foods Korea, Philippines foods.Staff very smart , come with family friends , relatives and share the happiness at Arabian tea house.Prices of food are affordable.

Wonderful lovely Dubai heritage and historical area with very friendly staff and tasty meals.( camel burgers, ice cream with camel milk) Surrounded by crafts shops offering traditional hand made items , the place is worth visiting

To be fair, it felt like home! The food is good and clean and although it’s from a different culture of mine but it felt like home.The service was great and enjoyable.

It is very nice place for breakfast in DubaiAmazing food, lovely staff and good atmosphere

One of the best traditional restaurants in Dubai.Food is very good. Place is great with indoor & outdoor seating area. Staff is so friendly & helpful. Prices are reasonable.Location is nice surrounded by many tourists attractions.It’s one of the must visit destinations in Dubai.

Perfect spot for tea! Outdoor feel but inside with AC! Hibiscus tea pictured

Ive been many times to the Arabian tea House and I still love it. The Arabic food is amazing, totally exquisite the atmosphere in the restaurant is unique, it seems old but comfy and cosy, mostly in white and blue colours.

This tea house is beautiful. The staff are very polite, friendly and helpful. The actual restaurant is decorated in such a beautiful manner, from the roof to the floor. Me and my family loved it. The food is delicious. We will definitely be coming here again.

Fantastic venue in Dubai Downtown. Ideal for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Staff are kind and professional. The food is amazing. Finally the place is totally instagramable.

Very cozy, gives an impression of authentic Arabian style.

Really good restaurant! Brunch and Dinner, really good kebab, ababian tea,!

Shout-out to their veryyyy friendly and caring staff. They were so attentive to our needs and we felt a great deal of customer service where I would say is the best of all restaurants/ cafes that Ive been to. AND THE FOOD IS AMAZING. I especially enjoyed their Karak Tea served in a beautiful porcelain tea pot.

Amazing restaurant with a very cool ambience. Food was good, must try the dates cake and tea! Had to wait about 20 mins for the table but so worth it.

Definitely recommend. Peaceful and quiet. Excellent service. Peaceful Atmosphere. Enjoyable morning. Decor so relaxing. Recommended.

Never disappointing! Very nice ambience. I would give a 3 stars to the food, but the ambience and the service are a 5+

Surrounded by the historical neighborhood of Al Fahidi, this authentic restaurant reflects the richness of Dubai’s heritage and culture. We waited for a while to get a seat as the restaurant is commonly packed with locals and tourists.Impressed with the selection of food and preparation is prompt.

This place is really nice, the personal is friendly and in the menu are proposed super healthy drinks and food. However, in my salad there was a ton of vinagre and my lemon and mint drink was more a puree than a juice...

Very nice place to sit and enjoy arabic dishes in very beautiful and relaxing ambience indoors or outdoors sitting available in the winter season. Great value to the prices, nice sharing ideas for breakfast and very friendly and attentive staff accommodating your needs like taking pictures recommending food etc. The atmosphere is so nice with arabic music and air-condition also the arabic oud burning around we stayed there more than 2 hours you forget about the time. I recommend taking few appetisers or 1 breqkfast to share, all coming with freshly baked arabic bread. Karak tea is very tasty here you can ask for less sugar great for sharing. ENJOY

This place is awesome, Good Food, very polite and warm staff, Decor is really good, They have some beautiful colorful birds in there. Coming to food what I liked most is there Arabic Coffee which is served with Dates and Curd as dipping for dates, One of the best coffees I had. Coffee lovers you need be here. Falafal which served with fresh bread was also good. e Dates Cake was wonderful. Will visit this place again to try their other food stuff.

Quiet atmosphereI like the dates cakeAnd lemon mint juiceThe place around is nice and unique

The ambience was fantastic & gd food, apparently a very popular tourist spot. We were there for breakfast & had to be there b4 10am, was told parking is a problem.If time permits, u can explore Al Fahidi Historical District which is situated beside the restaurant, a small lane where the carpark is..

Cosy place with delicious traditional Arabic food. Highly recommend 🧡

Amazing service nice ambiance... 👌👍🏻 keep it up 🥰

I would recommend to everyone who visits Dubai, you must try. One of my favorite places for breakfast.

Amazing experience. The staff were very attentive and the food was so yummy

🇦🇪Arabic Breakfast Time breakfast 🍳 @arabianteahouseThe Breakfast is really nice with a very nice price.The date + sesame seeds sauce is the favourites of the day.The yellow sauce on the “Mr. Ali’s favourite breakfast” is actually Watermelon 🍉 Jam”! How cool and special (taste very good as well and fresh taste in the summer)!The whole environment is very traditional Arabic design, simple but classic.Recommend the breakfast, their lunch start at 12:30 PM.🍽 Arabian Tea House Restaurant & Cafe - Al Fahidi مطعم بيت الشاي العربي📍 Bastakiya Opposite Musalla Post Office - Al Fahidi St - Dubai📞 +971 04 353 5071#arabicteahouse#arabicfood#arabiclife#arabic#dubailife#dubai #dubaioldtown

Great food with nice vibes. All staff were very nice with a lot of instagrammable shots.

Best place for Emirati Food in Dubai. The setting is a cute courtyard with white and blue wicker furniture. The staff was super friendly and speedy with their service. We ordered the Dango (chickpeas), Biryani Deyay (chicken), Emirati Tikka Deyay. Everything was amazing!

A excellent get a way from city to calm, excellent food and you dont walk away hungry, really nice price! Take a walk after to the dock and visit the shops😃👍!I will be back!!

Absolutely loved it! Super cute. The staff was very nice. The food was very good & reasonably priced. I even got a sufficient amount of ice for my soda (harder than you may think in Dubai). No complaints at all.

Brilliant food, great service, very good staff and amazing ambience! Surely worth visiting!

The food was super delicious! Better than expected. The customer service was top notch! Everyone was very welcoming and pleasant. I would definitely visit again the next time Im in Dubai.

Lovely food at a reasonable price. I suspect theres more authentic places, but this is good for tourists and very instaworthy. Would definitely go back and try the grilled meats!

Very nice place with amazing food for an extremely good value for money. Try the lamb with rice (main course: Laham Machboos), this was the best lamb I have ever had.

My favourite breakfast spot in Dubai especially the Bastakia restaurant.The food is of the same good quality and the karak chai remains the same ,delicious as always .

Great local atmosphere and very delicious food. The place is really beautiful, good service.

Good experience overall. The Emirati Breakfast they are going to recommend is very heavy on sugar and other carbohydrates. I wasnt the biggest fan of that but I was glad to experience the traditional breakfast.

Love this place. Best tea and hummus in Dubai!

Always a certainty. High quality ingredients, very friendly staff, enchanting atmosphere, good value for money. I bring there all my friends visiting Dubai!

Very nice interior in a traditional house. Super friendly staff and delicious food.

Prettiest place . Best service.Good Food.Must visit place in the Fahidi Neighborhood .

Great place to take you breakfast, Iike it and thanks for the good service.

Locals detected here. Huge portions for breakfast. All the interior is beautifully white

The place is so amazing.The staff are so friendly and lovely.There are lots of photo spots.The tea is really good. I recommend to have milk tea with ice and add a little bit of syrup especially in summer.

Great place with great food! A lovely and comfortable spot. Staff was very friendly and helpful! Loved the experience 😊

Amazing food and fantastic service! A really lovely experience and the waiter even bought us bread in the shape of a heart!

Amazing atmosphere, great food and outstanding service. A gem in the bustling Dubai.

Great food and coffee

Overpriced. Small portions and a tourist trap. That said there is a lovely ambience and its set around a pretty covered courtyard. I feel no need to ever return though.

One of the best experience we had on our visit to Dubai. Delicious food and friendly staff. Loved their Turkish Coffee!

Visited last saturday and, despite the fact that it was extremely busy, the staff was, as usual, incredibly nice, attentive and caring. Food very well presented and tasty. Only bad note: no A/C inside. Rather some fans (which were not reaching all the tables) and a few A/C standing units which were unfortunately not powerful enough for the big crowded space. Temperature inside not pleasant. Big shame, as a good culinary experience was ruined.

Hided Gem in Dubai! First time in Dubai and this place amazed me completely! The staff is so incredibly same as the food. Very traditional food and environment. Such a great experience ✨

Shame the open air dining area has been covered. Food and service is very good

The most delicious rice Ive ever eaten (but I dont remember the name of the dish)! Arabic coffee is served so nicely and it goes with dates and very nice sauce. The atmosphere and service are also great!Loved this place!

It’s a very nice place to eat. Nice atmosphere of the old town, but is usually a bit loud because of many people. When I arrived several people waited to be seated and after I left people waited.Authentic food and very friendly personal. The plate you see in the picture I ordered for myself. More than the half I left because it was too much for one person. For two it will be perfect. The sweet noodles with an omelet in the middle is a traditional dish (I was advices to take it by two friendly Arab men next to me). The noodles tasted more like a dessert, but probably depends on ones taste:) The tea selection is great and a pot is big.

A great authentic Emirati restaurant, at the heart of Dubais old Down Town...with in walking distance from Seef, Dubai Museum and Meena Bazar....lovely ambiance and interior/exterior set up...coming to food - lovely choice for appetisers, salads, main course and drinks (cold and hot).... biriyani, majboos and grill are clearly the favourite in menu...goes well with hommus/mutabel and crispy arabic bread...also liked their special lemon mint drink...last but not the least - their friendly staff...kudos to them...

Traditional arabic cuisine. If you’re a tourist in Dubai this is a good place to try local food. Huge portions. We needed to take away the leftovers. Really nice interior with indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly, helpful staff.

Cute little experience. And the food was delishious. I personally love sharing the trays. Worth a visit.
