29 Best Restaurants in Dubai, From Kebab Counters to Late-Night Lounges | Condé Nast Traveler

"Championing Balkan cuisine in Umm Suqeim, I admired Stasha Toncev’s passionate, bright restaurant for comforting dishes like phyllo pie and sarma sour cabbage rolls stuffed with minced beef and smoked brisket. For breakfast, I recommend the komplet egg—sunny-side up in homemade bread with cheese, sour cream and beef jus—which encapsulates the homey, celebratory spirit of the menu." - Claudia de Brito, Sophie Prideaux

"The owner calls her simply styled but warm neighbourhood space on the 2nd floor of a shopping mall an ‘urban Balkan bistro’. As such, the dishes are made for sharing and the influences come from all over the region, from Eastern Europe down to Greece and Turkey. Everything is homemade, fresh tasting and satisfying; do try the signature phyllo pie. Breakfast features homemade pitta and a host of egg dishes." - Michelin Inspector

This restaurant was on my list for a long time and I finally tried it, the location is in the mall and the vibe is very cozy, when we went it wasn’t busy so we didn’t have to wait to get a table. Staff were also very attentive. We went for breakfast and tried the Balkan breakfast with brunch bestie and both were amazing. Coffee was also fresh and good quality. The flavour, portion and the quality was amazing, can’t wait to go back again and try more of their food

never tried balkan food before ordered both of their signature dishes. Balkan breakfast with soman bread. it was phenomenal how good it taste the soman bread is made of only had 5 ingredients really healthy and clean i needed it off with their signature goat cheese phyllo pastry which was amazing. Not too sweet and it was still warm and crispy even after 30 mins of not touching the pastry. Will definitely be back again.

Very delicious! It’s a great breakfast place. Go for it. It’s usually busy but if you go earlier than 10 am then it’s great. The service is very good. We always go there and I always ask for Pindjur breakfast which is eggs with spreads. The Borek with cheese is excellent. The matcha latter is one of the best but the cup is too small. It’s located in the second floor of Meyan Mall. Good option from the Balkan.

Very good place! It has distinguished platters and brunch. Love the flavors, presentation and lovely smiles from the staff. We did have to wait, so it’s nice if they can make a reservation system or at least put some benches outside so clients can comfortably wait their tables. Interesting cuisine and definitely going back!

We recently had our office gathering at 21 Grams – Balkan Bistro, and it was such a lovely experience! The cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and warm hospitality made everything perfect. A special thanks to Sunil for promptly confirming our reservation and ensuring everything was well arranged ahead of time. We’d also like to extend our appreciation to Hareesh for his kind assistance on the day of our visit — he was very accommodating and helpful throughout. Thank you, 21 Grams team, for the wonderful service and great food! We’ll definitely be back again soon.

21grams completely exceeded my expectations. The food is bursting with flavor — every bite perfectly balanced and thoughtfully prepared. The menu is refreshingly unique, offering dishes you won’t find in the typical over-hyped spots around the city. We ordered the Balkan eggs, princess crepe, and the spinach phyllo pie, which came with a spread that was literally to die for. Each dish had its own character and was packed with bold, comforting flavors that spoke of authenticity and creativity. Service was equally impressive. The waitstaff were incredibly attentive without being intrusive — professional, warm, and clearly passionate about what they serve. If you’re looking for a place that combines soulful food, impeccable service, and a standout menu, 21grams is it.

By far, one of the best restaurants in Dubai for breakfast. Everything on their menu is great. Very meat heavy so be prepared. But what a treat! Really fantastic.

The phyllo pie with goat cheese is super tasty and fresh made, also the catch of the day fish is surprisingly fresh and delicious without bone. The service is amazing too. The decoration is super chill of the restaurant. Highly recommended this restaurant and they Well-deserved for Michelin! 100% will come back!
