Excellent food. Great service by our waiter Mostafa Elfauomy. View of the Burj khalifa fountain. Would come back tomorrow.

Terrible service they burned my leg and did not have first aid to help ! They just gave me wet nappies, I don't recommend this restaurant

We asked the waiter for some advice what to eat for a party... read more of 10 who were not that hungry. He said he would take care of us, and he was superb.
We had five cold mezze and four fatteh dishes.
Food to our table was prompt and was varied and delicious. The bill was very cheap for the quality of the food we ate. I honestly expected twice the price. The service was five star and making the evening the best in our 9-night stay in Dubai.
Would recommend to anyone wanting fresh and tasty food. Great for families.
Food not very tasty. Very expensive for the quality of food. More than double the price for the same plate at other similar restaurants.

No customer... read more orientation and only angry faces. Not a friendly word or anything like that. Added to this, the food was only brought to the table after further inquiries.

Ordered for cheese Sambuska & Moroccan chicken tajine with fries for main course
It would have been better if I would have just ordered one kg salt
The... read more saltiest food ever, the justification given to me was its cooked with Salt when did I ask for bland food ??
I was expecting simple food served right
Dint know that wafi gourmet uses something known as salt in its food
They told me the manager will visit the table in few minutes which never happened
Maybe he was getting the special salt from Morocco
Caution
Wafi gourmet uses salt in its food kindly inform server to use it moderately

We tried both the restaurants in our... read more trip but we felt the later ie the Wafi Mall outlet does a better job with the overall food preparation and experience including service and I would always go to the Wafi Mall outlet for Lebanese in my next visit.

Nice restaurant, next to the busiest part of Dubai Mall - the Fountain.

Each time we visit Dubai, Wafi Gourmet is on the list of restaurants we dine at. Good fresh tasty food and nice range. Service is slow, but I think that... read more is just because the place is always packed. Great view of the fountain.

My family and I are traumatised by his behaviour and appalled someone as short tempered is in the restaurant.
I’ll never be visiting this place as I now feel like I need therapy to get over how this person behaved with me
This is one of the place where I always take friends when the come for the first time to Dubai.
The Lebanese food is very good here and you... read more can enjoy the fountain show while eating.
The service is very fast, maybe too much.
Very long wait, although not so many guests. The food was good. I received the food before my husband and already ate it and only then his food came.

Nice and clean space for a typical lebanese lunch.
Great staff, friendly and professional. Some of the order takes longer than other to receive.
The food is delicious:... read more the siyadieh ( fish with rice lebanese dish) is so tasty and the chich barak ( lebanese dish made of meat balls and yogurt) is a must. The shawarma mixed platter is one of the tastier i had. Fries are ok. Cheese rolls are good.

The prices are fair.

However, there was constant construction noise from outside which didn't allow us to enjoy much. We had the Mushroom Chicken and Biryani. The food was ok, not delicious and slighty overpriced. The waiters seemed exhausted and overwhelmed, the manager was very nice though.
Overall the place is beautiful, but more thought needs to be put into the overall experience.
We had a terrible experience here, staff were very rude, un attending, we asked for a fountain view table and were informed that we would get one as soon as... read more it gets vacant, we waited and then it was given to a single guest instead of us 4 persons, when we asked the waiter he rudely said it wasn’t him that we asked and also tried to humiliate us, we asked to speak with thw manager and he was also very rude we paid for the un attended shisha that we hadn’t smoked and left will never go back again!
The Wafi Gourmet Restaurant has a prime position.
As long as you get a seat on the terrace, you can watch the beautiful water show relaxed.
Unfortunately, this is... read more the only good thing I have to say about the store. The food portions were unfortunately very small and didn't taste good either. It's a shame, especially for the price you pay. (of course you pay for the view).
The waitresses were very inattentive. So after we had finished our dinner there was no waitress for a long time to clear the table, although they saw exactly that we had finished eating. We were also offered no further drinks during this time, which was also a shame.
We would definitely not choose this restaurant anymore.

I’ve been there with a friend some when end January 2020, she chose it.

The Wafi Gourmet is in front of Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa and if you seat in the terrace you can enjoy the show of the famous fountains. The restaurant... read more is specialized in lebanese cuisine and it was really nice and tasty. The service was fast and as we requested a table in the terrace in five minutes the servers find the perfect table for us, they were kind and friendly. It was a worderful experience.
Very beautifully designed, large and good Lebanese restaurant directly in the Dubai Mall on the ground level, a large indoor and outdoor restaurant with terrace. The terrace with plenty of... read more seating and with a view of the Burj and the water features is very impressive.
The name of the restaurant "Wafi Gourmet" also keeps the promise regarding the quality of the dishes. The menu includes the classic starters (mezzas) and of course classics such as humous, fattouch and falafel etc. are not to be missed. There is also fresh bread baked in an open stone oven and the quality of the fresh juices on offer. We chose Pommegranate Juice and Mint Lemonade - both served in a large glass and great refreshing, really as a small break during the strenuous shopping.
Then there was tabbouleh and hummus with tahina, both served very nicely, good portion and very good taste. It is not only worth it because of the great view of the water features, but the selection and quality of the food is really promising. In the indoor restaurant there is a huge glass showcase with a good and extensive range of dishes, where you can also take away dishes / sweets for take-away. The service staff is very friendly and nice. The price-performance ratio is a bit high, but in terms of the good quality of the food, the location at the Burj and the water features, where there is always a lot of activity, still within an acceptable range.
