Title: A truly, unique and extraordinary Culinary and Aesthetic Delight at Tribes and Carnivore, Dubai
Nestled in The Dubai Mall, the Tribes and Carnivore restaurants offer an enchanting dining experience that transcends the ordinary. Upon entering, the tribal-themed ambiance sets the stage, featuring captivating depictions of African warriors, adorned in native attire and wielding traditional weapons.
As you explore the restaurant, a treat for the senses awaits on the balcony, where diners are treated to a mesmerizing view of a sprawling man-made lagoon. Tables along the balcony's edge provide the perfect vantage point for a spectacular fountain show reminiscent of the iconic displays at the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas. Timed perfectly to music, numerous fountains create intricate patterns, reaching heights of up to 100 feet, all set against the backdrop of the Burj Khalifa lighting up in a dazzling display every 30 minutes.
The culinary offerings at Tribes and Carnivore are nothing short of exceptional. The menu boasts a diverse selection of meats, including delectable options like beef, chicken, and seafood. A standout recommendation is the salmon burger, a delightful ensemble of succulent salmon on a roll, generously accompanied by avocado. The salads are equally impressive, both in variety and presentation, while platters featuring a mix of beef and poultry provide a carnivorous delight.
The beverage selection is equally thoughtful, offering a range of options from refreshing non-alcoholic choices to carefully curated alcoholic beverages. However, it's the impeccable service that truly elevates the dining experience. The staff, characterized by their warmth and professionalism, attend to every need with a genuine desire to enhance your visit. Our main server was RAM, who was a great example of perfect service and hospitality.
In essence, the combination of exquisite cuisine, exceptional service, and the backdrop of illuminated buildings, tranquil lagoon, dynamic fountains, and harmonious music creates an unforgettable experience. Tribes and Carnivore transcend being just a meal; they craft a cherished memory, making this venue a highly recommended destination for those seeking a true culinary and sensory delight in the...
Read moreBreathtaking views, top-notch service, and absolutely delectable food in this resto.
Tribes Dubai Mall has, in my opinion, one of the best views of both the Burj Khalifa and the iconic Dubai Fountain as seating/table placement doesn’t feel too crowded and packed compared to other restaurants (especially those in the lower ground floor level of the Dubai Mall). My party and I were lucky to be seated towards the end of the restaurant’s al fresco dining area, away from the rest of the diners. Also, just as my party and I arrived at the resto, the light and fountain show that Emaar put on during the 2024 New Year’s Eve Celebrations was being performed. It was mesmerizing to see the light and fountain show from the vantage point offered by Tribes’ al fresco dining area.
The food here has a focus on meat/meat platters. We had an assortment of burgers for dinner, as well as a serving of the “soup of the day” (creamy potato soup), in addition to mocktail mojitos and iced tea. The burgers were very filling and delicious. I recommend Tribes’ Wagyu Burger as the burger patty is just so soft, juicy, and bursting with flavor.
Of course, this review isn’t complete without me saying thanks and complimenting our service assistant for the night, Kristell. Throughout the evening, Kristell made sure that we were satisfied with our meals and that the other members of my party were happy with their dining experience. Also, Kristell was very entertaining to talk to while ordering our meals. She’s such a kind, funny, and interesting person—Tribes is lucky to have her on their staff roster. I will definitely visit Tribes Dubai Mall again if I have any other guests/relatives visiting Dubai who would like to dine at a resto with delicious food and stunning views.
If you’re looking for a nice, relaxed place to dine at the Dubai Mall with views of the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain, be sure to check out Tribes (located at the 2nd floor, above the...
Read moreTribes is hands-down the best steakhouse in Dubai, offering an extraordinary experience that blends phenomenal food with stellar service. The vibrant atmosphere sets the stage for a meal that’s nothing short of spectacular. The menu is a carnivore’s dream, and my choices—the oxtail and Wagyu burger—were absolute revelations. The oxtail was slow-cooked to perfection, tender, rich, and infused with deep, soulful flavors that lingered long after each bite. The Wagyu burger, meanwhile, was a masterclass in indulgence: a juicy, perfectly seasoned patty with melt-in-your-mouth texture, nestled in a soft brioche bun. Every bite was a reminder of why Tribes stands alone at the top. The accompanying fries and grilled vegetables were flawless, elevating the meal without overshadowing the stars. The service at Tribes is as impressive as the food, and our waiter, John, was the heart of the experience. His genuine warmth, keen menu knowledge, and spot-on recommendations made the experience unforgettable. John’s attentiveness was impeccable, ensuring every need was met with a smile, yet he never hovered. The ambiance, with its modern tribal-inspired decor, strikes a perfect balance of lively and upscale, making every moment feel special. From the flawless presentation to the seamless service, Tribes delivers excellence in every detail. An...
