"Honored with the Service Award, this sizable and busy restaurant is far from a tourist trap: the team runs it with pride and passion to please every guest, from offering Arabic coffee to early arrivals outside to guiding diners through the menu inside, and the goodbye is as heartfelt as the welcome." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Part-restaurant, part-museum; dine under a tree in an air-conditioned covered courtyard served by welcoming staff dressed in traditional robes. Bread is freshly cooked within view and live music adds to the ambience. Rustic Emirati dishes are carefully prepared, well-presented and full of flavour. Start off with one of their salads and breads and be sure to try their lamb machboos that is great for sharing. For dessert, luqaimat and sticky date pudding is a great way to end a meal." - Michelin Inspector
"Part museum, part eatery, Al Khayma offers a covered dining courtyard with a tree, live music, fresh-made bread, and staff dressed in traditional robes; Ahmed urges visitors not to leave the city without trying it, and the restaurant has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand designation." - Alison Fox Alison Fox Alison Fox is a Travel + Leisure contributor.

"Part-restaurant, part-museum, this spot focuses on simple, rustic Emirati cooking—think slow-cooked meats, Arabic spices, and fresh bread baked in the courtyard." - The MICHELIN Guide
