"Dining here is an experience: ten live cooking stations serve guests feasting under the stars in the desert, with classic dishes like shawarma and lamb ouzi cooked underground, salads such as hummus and tabbouleh, and desserts like kunafa and baklava—reservations are recommended." - Alison Fox Alison Fox Alison Fox is a Travel + Leisure contributor.

A Review of Bab Al Shams in Dubai | Hotels Above Par

"For over a decade, Bab Al Shams had one restaurant: Al Hadeerah. It’s an iconic spot in its own right, hosting open-air dinner events with live performances that include falcons and camels, as well as folk dancing. There’s live-cooking that all takes place inside a sukh-like setting, where you can purchase things like sand art. It remains a hot spot (so much so that it was fully booked the night I was there). It’s the size of some small boutique hotels, casting lights into the air late into the night." - Sylvie Florman

First of all, thank u for giving us really wonderful experiences at Al hadheerah restaurant. It has nice environment, nice local traditional food. To give me an opportunity to try different food culture. The staffs there are so nice. The chef Moostafa, i sent the last order of prawns when the restaurant nearly closed. While he cooks it when was chatting about China, Australia, Egypt and Dubai. Then he asked me if I can do a google review. I said of course. As a staff of a business, he still thinks about the reputation of someone else’s business. This business is already so successful by it. Thank u again. For the good food, and good experiences.

Last week we had the pleasure of dining at Al Hadheerah the open-air dining destination located in Bab Al Shams Resort and it was a memorable experience. We felt like we went on an Arabian adventure. The authentic and lavish food was amazing, the performances from traditional music/dance to belly dancing and fire show was outstanding and the service was flawless. Resident or tourist, an evening at Al Hadheerah is an absolute must!

We had a company event at Al Hadheerah restaurant and i personally found that it was truly a flawless experience and i must say that it is definately a spot as a must-visit destination in Dubai. The entire evening from the spectacular setting to the impeccable service was absolutely wonderful. It’s far more than just a meal; it's a seamless cultural and culinary journey nestled in the heart of the Al Qudra desert and what an end of the evening with fire show, animal show and the dance. Truely deserving of 5 star rating.

This was an absolutely incredible dining experience, and I highly recommend Al Hadherah! ​The buffet is absolutely massive. Seriously, prepare to not eat for three days beforehand to make space to try it all! Beyond the phenomenal food spread, the entertainment was so much fun, especially the stunning fire show and the unique show with the camels. ​The service was also exceptional. A huge thank you to Yasir, Gurung, and Rahman, who were incredibly polite, attentive, and genuinely happy to make sure we had everything we needed. Five stars!

An amazing desert experience for an amazing food. From the beginning to the end it was all great. Some minor things should not be affecting my review such as the guy cooking the lamb and other meat fell behind and the queue became long and he had to under cook some meat. Also the server forgot many time our orders for drinks and had to remind them few times, but they never got the drinks. I did not really care as everything else was great. The show was nice, the hawk, camel and horse shows were enjoyable. The buffet was huge with many selected options. Good place to visit while in Dubai.

One of the best meals of my life. First of all, a very special atmosphere in the heart of the desert with a series of performances. Moreover, usually, when you go to an all-you-can-eat buffet, you expect average food — but not here. Every meat dish was exceptional in quality, especially the ribs and steaks. It was an almost perfect meal (except for the desserts, which could use some improvement in both quantity and the quality of the cakes). The live performances during the meal were also a pleasant experience.
