Maui Beach Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Dubai

Last week we dined at the Maui Beach Dubai to experience their 'picnic under the star's concept. We arrived shortly after 8pm, to which the maitre d' led us through the restaurant down to the beach, which coincidently was roped off to stop people from wondering down allowing the whole experience to be completely private. As we walked down we could see two wooden fire touches steaked into the sand and a blanket, on the blanket were a couple of bean bags, cushions two wicker hampers which contained our plates and cutlery for the meal along with the pashminas that we had previously requested.

Shortly after, our waiter, a young Indian guy by the name of Prashanth came to introduce himself and explain how the picnic concept will work, I must admit although being young (and as we came to find out had only been in the UAE for a year), his lever of service and attention was second to none. He was polite, efficient and ensured that all our expectations were met, even to the little details of ensuring my lady was always served before myself. We even had a little call button that we could press in order for him to come to us when we needed something. Also throughout the night he was kind enough to offer to take lots of beautiful photos of us so that we could cherish our experience.

As we had chosen the European menu we were delighted to see a tantalising selection of dishes, for our starters we were presented various dishes including bruschetta, ceviche, octopus salad and this amazingly thinly sliced bresaola and duo of melon which as definitely our favourite of the starters.

During our starter we were delighted to be introduced to the restaurant manager Lasantha, who came to greet us and ensure that we were happy with the service that was being provided, it was clear that he takes a lot of pride and pleasure in welcoming his guests and ensuring that the service they received was to the best possible standard, this reaffirmed for us that the night would certainly be an experience to remember.

The remainder of our meal included a main course of mixed grilled meats which were brought to us on a BBQ grill and accompanied with mushroom and peppercorn sauce and a side of roasted herbed potato wedges and steamed greens.

Finally we finished the meal with an indulgent selection of deserts and fruit, which were small enough to experience the amazing flavours and textures but not too much to leave you bloated.

We were so impressed with the high quality of service and hospitality we received and felt like royalty throughout the night, this is definitely the level of service that you would expect from Maui and Sofitel, the sort that you would only compare with that of the Maldives. I would definitely recommend this place or couples looking to experience a blissful and romantic meal together and would like to thank both Lasantha and Prashanth for...

Disappointing Dining Experience at Maui Beach Restaurant & Bar, Sofitel Hotel Dubai The Palm ⭐⭐

I recently visited Maui Beach Restaurant & Bar at Sofitel Hotel Dubai The Palm, and unfortunately, it was not the exceptional dining experience I had anticipated. 😔

We ordered the Margarita Pizza and the Loaded Chicken Burger, but the pizza dishe fell short of our expectations. The Margarita Pizza was disappointing, lacking in flavor and freshness. It seemed as though it was prepared from ready-frozen ingredients rather than being made with fresh ingredients on-site. This was quite unexpected for a renowned 5-star hotel like Sofitel. 🍕🥴

On a positive note, the Loaded Chicken Burger was the saving grace of our meal. The burger itself was tasty and well-prepared, but it came with an unexpected level of spiciness. While some people may enjoy a spicy kick, it would have been helpful if the menu had indicated the level of spiciness so that customers could make an informed choice. 🌶️🍔

The overall dining experience at Maui Beach Restaurant & Bar was underwhelming. The ambiance was pleasant, with a beachfront location and a relaxed atmosphere, but the quality of the food did not meet the standards one would expect from a 5-star hotel.

Additionally, the service was lacking. The staff seemed disinterested and inattentive, which further dampened our experience. It would have been appreciated if they had been more attentive to our needs and provided a higher level of service. 🏖️🙄

Considering the reputation of Sofitel Hotel Dubai The Palm and the expectations associated with a 5-star hotel dining experience, it is unfortunate that Maui Beach Restaurant & Bar did not live up to its potential. The lack of flavor in the Margarita Pizza and the unexpected spiciness of the Loaded Chicken Burger were disappointing aspects of our visit.

While the beachfront ambiance and location are appealing, I would recommend exploring other dining options within the hotel or nearby to ensure a more satisfying culinary...

We had been to the Desi night brunch at the Maui restaurant. Its ambience is definitely unbeatable, being on the beach with such intimidating views, the location is perfect for a dinner brunch. The musicians are playing lovely soft Indian instrumental music. But being a Friday night it wasn’t really crowded, which felt good, less crowd th better. Now coming to the food spread they had a mix of veg and non veg items . Appetizers included cocktail samosas, medu vada, chicken tikka, fish tikka, grilled broccoli , lamb kebabs. The spread is not very large and not very short also. But the strange part was the were no salads . Brunch or any buffet places have a large spread of salads but here there were no salads . There was a chat corner which had Pani Puri , papdi chat, dhokla, dahi vada. The Pani Puri was very avg with the spicy water being very mild spicy. The dhokla was nice in taste . The papdi chat was soggy since it’s made and kept. Dahi vada was also very avg in taste. The spice content was very less , catering to more of the foreign palate than the Indian palette . The main course had Dal Makhni, Paneer masala, Butter Chicken, Rogan Josh, Fish, Peas pulao and Indian breads. There was a Pau bhaji corner as well but the taste was very average, nothing great about it. The Mango lassi and Chai were a part of the brunch but not water. Desert spread included Gajar halwa, Rasmalai, Gulab Jamun and a fruit counter. The Rasmalai was tasty and so was the Halwa but the Gulab Jamun were very sweet , though very soft and hot . With the kind of price charged at 199 per adult and 99 per kid, it’s not value for money. There are better restaurants with much better food options. But the restaurant gets full points for the ambience and the view it...
