Overview

If you’re in Dubai Mall and craving Lebanese cuisine, Al Hallab is an absolute must-visit. Nestled on the second floor, it feels like you’ve stepped into a cozy corner of Tripoli. The aroma of spices wafts through the air, transporting you straight to Lebanon. Seriously, you can practically taste the culture.

Now, about the food—oh boy, where do I even begin? You’ve got everything from mouthwatering shawarma to some really delicious hummus that’s so smooth it feels like a silky blanket on your taste buds. I mean, how often do you find a place that serves such authentic Lebanese dishes and still manages to maintain reasonable prices? Talk about a win-win!

One thing to keep in mind: this place can get packed, especially during rush hours. It’s often a bit of a circus, but somehow that adds to its charm. Grab a seat outside if you can; the view of the Burj Khalifa and the fountain show is honestly breathtaking. You might even want to book a table ahead of time, just to play it safe.

And let’s not forget the staff; they’re friendly enough, typically ready to recommend a dish or two. But, I’ve heard some stories about inconsistent service, like waiters sometimes being a tad too eager for tips. That being said, the overall vibe is warm and welcoming.

If you fancy breakfast or lunch, there’s a menu that caters to various tastes, including vegetarian options, although I’ve heard there could be better choices for plant-based eaters. And the dessert? Well, they famously serve Muhallebi, a local favorite you should definitely try before you leave!

In short, Al Hallab is not just another restaurant; it’s a slice of Lebanon right in Dubai, offering good food, decent prices, and that special touch of hospitality. Give it a go, and who knows? You might just walk out a little more in love with Lebanese cuisine.
