Delicious food. Very generous portions. Specifically speaking about The Big Fry, 10/10 — because their beans are homemade and not canned and tasted scrumptious!!! A few small downsides: my hot latte came in a glass instead of a proper mug, which I found a bit weird, and it also made my coffee cool down faster. Also, the place doesn’t have a baby changing station. I’ll definitely be coming back.

See all 4,150 reviews →What an amazing find. Pet friendly area as well away from main restaurant which is air con and have a separate waiter. Food. Wow. I had the green shaksuka, what a great recipe. Our server, Tran, was also amazing. Grabbed water for our dog immediately without us asking and was so welcoming. 5* service with a smile from him. Thank you so much!
Upon walking to Jumeirah road at night, we stumbled upon this cafe on the corner. It stood out from the other cafes we had visited, piquing our curiosity. We decided to give it a try and ordered their hot matcha and hot chocolate, along with a dessert that I can’t quite recall the name of. The drinks were delightful, and the dessert was incredibly delicious, melting in our mouths. The ambiance of the cafe was cozy and relaxing, making it the perfect spot to unwind at night. We’re definitely planning to return and explore their extensive menu.
