Wadi Al Arayesh Restaurant & Cafe مطعم وادي العرايش — Restaurant in Dubai

This place has definitely one of the best interiors on the ground floor. Strategically located along the service road of a main road giving ample parking availability.

This place has a ground plus hall upstairs for families with children and the reason for this is shisha and smoking is permitted on the ground floor. The aroma of the shisha os sure to blow you away and apparently all the windows of the upper room are kept open so you still get the smell. Children safety a definite question.

Well on the top floor it seems barely used and dust seems to have engulfed the chairs and tables and most of the chairs seem to be shaky in the legs.

Well that is about the place. To the food.

We tried the Hummus beiruti and falafel plate both of which were amazing. We did want to dig into the arayees and half chicken but mixed reviews kept us from experimenting so we kept it limited.

Not much to share but presentation wise great, ground floor great, service great if you down as you are visible, slightly slow if you stationed upstairs.

I like this restaurant very much! Stuff is very nice, manager is also an amazing guy who is always for you there. I have read certain reviews, and will say this:

PRICES ARE HIGH - prices are very decent for Dubai. What is most important, you get what you pay for. If you don't like it, go in Business Bay and pay triple. They even introduced Emirates Platinum discount for 50%!

PARKING IS ISSUE - Parking is not an issue! You have a paid parking in front of the restaurant who is always empty. If 2 AED for you is problem, than move out from Dubai.

-SERVICE IS BAD - service is amazing! I like salad before main course and I like watermelon at the end. Keep doing good job.

Will always come back! Good job Al Arayesh!

EDIT: Service and the food significantly deteriorated in the last few months. Not sure is it because of the new stuff or what, but you need to do something. I use to enjoy in the best lamp chops in the city, now they are not so good anymore. And no more...

Casual Arabic restaurant and shisha place. As you would expect menu features traditional Arabic cuisine, selection is wide, not limited to hummus, tabuleh and kebabs only. Variety of beverages is there too, fresh juices page lists more then 10 tastes. Shisha lasts for a long time, and no bitterness comes even after extended smoking. Melon-mint taste was a pleasant surprise. What disappointed a bit was long waiting for our simple order in 2 glass of juice and hummus. With less then a half of tables occupied that could not be an excuse. Huge advantage of the place are their prices, they are super affordable. One can enjoy stuffing dinner with coffee and shisha and still leave the restaurant with happy wallet. But keep in mind that the place is a casual eatery, not a fine-dining restaurant, decor and stuff approach to guests reflects that. There is a paid parking in front of...
