My first time here and would definitely recommend for the food. Although it was quite empty in the evening, the outdoor seating was really breezy and nice to hang around with friends.

Not bad food, excellent workers ,, not suitable for non-smoking people, there is an issue with air conditioning.

Visited few days ago, the place is less lively than few years back. The food is still very good and tasty like how it used to be. My only concern is with COVID hygiene precautions, some of the waiters were wearing the mask but its put below their mouths, which makes no sense from the first place. The service on the other end is ok-ish, it used to be better. Last but not least Sarouja isnt cheap, so you would expect better service and hygiene precautions.

Place to visit for people who kile Chicha and Narguile and syrian food. Live event some times, you can also play tawla (backgamon) so dont hesitate and go there. I liked.

Amazing oriental cuisine and hospitality. Love the taste of the food. The music and the engagement of the owners. Being there everyday makes the music with the inner fountain like a true classical movie

Great Lebanese food! And some English dishes, also a good kids menu. This place is full of locals, which is always a good sign, very friendly staff good service and a small kids area to play while you eat. Not to on the expensive side, well worth a visit

Quick disclaimer: we aren’t smokers. People are very nice, food was good, not excellent. Restaurant location is below average to a poor, hard to park and we realized after fact that it has a valet service.If you are a first timer be aware that you can valet but just don’t miss the side turn.We tried almost everything Shawrma was good, mashawee were excellent, mtabal was excellent, tabouleh was poor and not fresh at all.I’m sure this place could be a 5 for smokers as they have better area environment/seating and more of a crowd there.In short if you aren’t a smoker just simply don’t go!

Bad service ... they refused to give us zomato Pro discount despite they are on the list of zomato Pro.. zomato assured that this restaurant on the list of its discount ! I will not recommend this place since they are not trustable !

Excellent staff, excellent shisha, excellent food. I have been joking that only downsize of this place is that their food portions are big and I have never managed to finish them :) keep the great work.

The food is excellent. Although I order for delivery most of the time. But I prefer the Pavilion-Jumeirah Park branch more than Marina because it is more open and has a better non smoking area.

It is a restaurant and cafee, with Shisha and smoking allowed.1. valet parking available.2. wheelchair entrance available.3. Various food selection, Arabic, western and indian...4. food price is a bit expensive, 50 AED for only dish of the day, shisha is for 20 AED. drink is almost the same, water is for 18 AED.5. The staff there are just OK.i would appreciate if they can leave more space between tables.

The service, the organisation as well as the management are in a full mess.The service is very poorThey dont keep track of the reservations made neither knows who presented and who didnt show up. They seeted two couples coming together with the same reservation on two different tables. Thanks God we had the idea to call each other to find out we were both already at the restaurantThe waiters doesnt know what type of food should be served first and whenIf you order food for all your dinner at once you will get all at once even if doesnt fit, fall from the table on the floor or gets cold and munchy.No one at this restaurant know basics of Syrian or Lebanese foodTry to avoid it for dinner or shisha.

WORST SYRIAN FOOD EVER ! Stay away.The food quality is below average ( except for fattoush , which was good). The meat was tasteless and dry , the grilled kibbe was bland with no pomegranate molasses !! Plus the place was dirty and smelly ( flies every where). Also , The furniture is old and worn out, and some chairs are broken.Worst part i got upset stomach then diarrhea !!

Review №60

In general very bad and very much over rate in all means, food has no taste, as a simple and basic example Chef Salad has no taste at all i guess because they forgot to use dressing.The atmosphere is so noisy, lauded TV and also lauded Arabic Music from speakers.If you have to go, then use just the basic stuff, coffee, tea and shisha

Review №71

This restaurant used to be good.Im not sure what happened to them but for the past five months or so they have gone down the hill.I used to have breakfast there almost weekly and invite visitors especially my corporate staff from overseas.I definitely could feel the change in quality, the rudeness of their staff, the poor service and the cheating in the food and over charging in the bill if you dont check it.I dont recommend this restaurant anymore, and if you do have to go because all restaurants in Dubai are closed, prepare yourself for terrible quality of food, long waiting time, unhelpful and rude staff, and most definitely examine your bill item by item.

We were looking for an arabic food experience for our first time in Dubai on New Year Eve 2019. I looked for a lot of options and most of them were so expensive. When finally I found this place. I contacted them and they were very kind and the most impressive thing was their service. The price was more than fair for what we received. We flew to Dubai but before our trip they always stayed in touch with us thru WhatsApp. Mwafak was the manager who always was very friendly, helpful and kind with all of our needs. The experience for New Year Eve was incredible and this exceeded our expectations. We really enjoyed the food , the great live arabic music, the great staff and the restaurants environment . Highly recommend for everyone who wants to have a great Arabic experience.
