TERO - The Experience by Chef Reif Othman — Restaurant in Dubai

Honestly I am a huge fan of Reif and I had super high expectations for this meal. Nothing was to the standard that I would have expected. The food was ok but unmemorable. The sushi was dry and some pieces had little to no taste. I couldn’t cut through the beef cheek. The uni custard and the stracciatella maitake where the only standouts.

On either side of us other guests where photographing their food with LED lights which were on continuously. This removed whatever intimacy the dinner and location provided and the staff weren’t bothered by any of it.

The chef wasn’t there to talk about the dishes or their inspiration which is part of what I would expect in a place like this. Instead he spent most of the evening chatting with just one of the guests.

Truthfully at this price point you would expect a total experience and for every touchpoint to be perfect. There should be storytelling and intentionality. This was a complete disappointment. I regret taking my husband here...

Absolute WOW experience! From the warm welcome (where they already knew our names) till the very end, everything was excellent with handwritten menu as a memory from the chef himself! We loved it! The food was 12/10 and the service perfect. We loved sharing personal stories about the waiters and the personal touch they brought. The ambience was perfect and easy to have a conversation (if someone is concerned about noise levels). Everything was so well balanced and super super delicious! You can also watch the chefs prepare the food which was amazing! They change their menu every 3 months and we honestly can’t...

I was speechless as a chef one of the best food experience I ever had in my life ! The food was outstanding a combination of flavours and textures with beautiful aromas . The staff are so friendly loved it and I highly recommend it!, real Michelin experience . , thank you Lenan for the amazing service...
