Awani - JBR — Restaurant in Dubai

Reviews all fake! TripAdvisor ones are more accurate!!

From the get-go: please change your rude hostess. Your staff are snobby and rude, and your food is not what’s shown in photos. Food: we ordered almost all the hot and cold mezzas and mains- all came cold. We had invited our friends and we had to keep cutting convo to get up and find a staff that would pay attention. We asked for things like OUR FOOD, ketchup (to 4 different staff) but nothing. We made sure to ask for the shish tawouk to be very well done since one of the invitees are pregnant, but half the chicken skewers (if not all) were not well done. We didn’t even dare to ask for another because we knew it would take forever. The other meat were just cold. Aesthetically? Embarrassing. Everything did not look fresh.

Staff: running around like headless chicken with no goal. Literally: LOTS of staff with no aim. Service is very poor.

Never again. Literally get your act together. This is the second time we’ve visited dubai and given ur restaurant a chance at two different...

My score is mainly on breakfast that is why it is a little lower than average, because the breakfast served is average and usually served commonly the same way in many restaurants in the area (cheese, honey, butter, manakesh..etc) where nothing unique about Awani’s breakfast from the rest of restaurant around, yet it is far more pricey compared to other neighboring restaurants if only you asked for additional regular black tea and small bottle of water ( it can get the bill to double the price of the breakfast for 2 alone ) which is not understandable especially when other restaurants serve tea pots complementary (and at some unlimited ) with their breakfast bundles ! Yet again I tried the restaurant many times in dinner and lunch and they serve great food quality indeed where I advised many of my friends to come and try, yet for breakfast for sure I wont’t recommend with this above average pricing and in case you want to drink something next to...

We had the pleasure of dining at Awani JBR, and it was truly a delightful experience! From the moment I walked in, I was warmly welcomed, and the service was impeccable throughout my visit.

We opted for an all-vegetarian meal, and every dish exceeded my expectations. The hummus was incredibly smooth and flavorful, the falafel was perfectly crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside, and the salads were fresh and vibrant. To top it all off, the dessert was an absolute treat—rich, indulgent, and the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Delight!!

A special shoutout to Patrick, the restaurant in-charge, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. His attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine hospitality made the experience even more memorable.

Highly recommend Awani JBR to anyone looking for delicious food, a cozy ambiance, and top-notch service with the best view of Ain Dubai. Can’t wait to...
