Found this incredible Santorini inspired authentic Greek restaurant @helios.dubai. It is truly a hidden gem on the 30th floor of @hyattregencydubai.
The entire time I was there, I was enjoying the beauty & the ambiance of the restaurant. The white washed walls, bougainvillea & the stunning view of the sea from the top floor literally took my breath away, it was absolutely mesmerizing.
The food was equally amazing. I enjoyed the Salad & Greek Fries for the starters. Main course comprised of Spring Chicken & Mousaka.
I enjoyed all the starters and main dishes but what I loved the most were their spectacular desserts! They were heavenly & I can’t decide which one was the best, whether to choose the Speculoos Cheese Cake or the Greek Macaroon because both of them were outstanding.
I highly recommend this place for a memorable experience and relaxing time with delicious food and great service! I’m sure you will love it...

When we provided feed back, the manager was quite defensive and condescending for no reason, kept inturrupting us, and eventually offered us coupons for "alcoholic drinks" eventho my friend wears the hijab and we are clearly muslim and spoke to him in arabic. From beginning to end there was no respect. If you want to be treated with dignity, dont go. And if i could give a lower than 1 star...

As for the location, is way far from Dubai downtown, the hotel that the restaurant is located feels old but the rooftop restaurant is nice as a concept but needs work to reach common culinary expectations and aesthetics of other rooftop restaurants in Dubai. The service was nice, on time and polite. The food: we had 9 dishes and only 3 of them were completely Greek (and tasty) as the restaurant’s social media promotes. The other 6 need work and simplicity, Mediterranean cuisine is based in ingredients only, not efforts to be close to the right result. We will visit again the restaurant to check the evolvement of it aesthetically as a space and as for the taste...
