Arabian Tea House Restaurant & Cafe - Al Fahidi, Dubai

I had an absolutely amazing experience at this restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The food was nothing short of exceptional — every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. What truly made the night even more special was the outstanding service. Jherson, our waiter, was phenomenal. He was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a perfect dining experience. I can’t recommend this place enough — whether you’re celebrating something special or just in the mood for a great meal, this spot will not disappoint! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing place! You feel like you’re outdoors, but the entire area is actually air-conditioned. We arrived really early—around 6:30 a.m.—and they kindly let us in to sit and wait for the opening time. We ordered the Arabic breakfast, and it was… well, just as you’d expect breakfast to be in most homes across the Middle East—from east to west, north to south. Nothing particularly special flavor-wise; most of the ingredients could easily be bought at any supermarket. The only cooked item was the egg, and it was way overcooked (as you can see in the photo). The bread was unlimited and freshly baked. The lime and mint drink was okay, and the orange-strawberry-watermelon juice was also just okay. Was the food special? Not at all. But was the experience, the place, and the service good? Absolutely outstanding.

I absolutely recommend the Arabian Tea House when visiting Dubai! The restaurant is beautiful and feels very authentic. Friendly staff who are enthusiastic to talk and share bits from their culture and share the Dubai experience. We were helped by Ibrahim, who was extremely friendly, informative, and professional. We reccomend getting a couple of dishes to share. The Mint Lemonade never disappoints. Come by yourself or with a huge party, there is a variety of seating styles, inside and out. Would love to come again!!

We absolutely loved our experience at Arabian Tea House in Al Fahidi. It felt like stepping into a peaceful oasis, far from the hustle of the city. The atmosphere is charming and authentic — from the white drapes and turquoise chairs to the lush garden courtyard, every detail is thoughtfully curated. We tried the traditional Emirati breakfast and the famous mint lemonade, and both were absolutely delicious. The flavours were rich, the portions generous, and everything tasted freshly made. A special thank you to Kaung, who took care of us with kindness and professionalism. He made our experience even more memorable with his attentive and warm service. It’s a perfect spot if you want to slow down, soak in some local culture, and enjoy a truly special meal. We’ll definitely be back on our next trip to Dubai!

We dined in at Arabian Tea House for lunch on a busy Monday afternoon. We had to wait about 5 minutes to get a table as the dining area was full. After getting a table, our table assistant Malshani was very supportive in choosing food from the menu. Upon ordering, we had to wait around 15 minutes to get food. The portions were large, especially the fish slices and the taste was good as well. The staff was very welcoming and supportive. Something they might have to improve in the future are the washrooms. They were cramped up for room, so if you are well built, it could be difficult for you to use it.

Had a lovely experience at Arabian Tea House Restaurant & Cafe - Al Fahidi! The ambiance was serene and beautifully traditional, making it the perfect spot to enjoy authentic Emirati cuisine. The food was flavorful and fresh — every dish we tried was delicious. A special shoutout to Rashmi, who served us with such warmth and professionalism. Her friendly attitude and attentive service truly made our visit even more memorable. Highly recommend this gem in the heart of Old Dubai!

A Magical Experience at Arabian Tea House! From the moment we stepped into Arabian Tea House, we were transported to a peaceful, charming oasis. The ambiance is simply breathtaking — serene, beautifully decorated, and incredibly welcoming. It felt like a warm embrace the moment we walked in. What truly made our visit unforgettable, though, was our wonderful server, Kelly. She was absolutely amazing — kind, attentive, and so knowledgeable about the menu. Her recommendations were spot on and she went out of her way to make us feel welcome and cared for. Kelly is not just a great server — she’s a true asset to the restaurant. We ordered the Arabian Breakfast tray, and it was the perfect balance of sweet and savory — every bite was delightful. The Arabic coffee was rich and aromatic, while the Karak tea was soothing and full of flavor — exactly what we needed. And thanks to Kelly’s suggestion, we ended with the dates cake — wow! It was the perfect sweet ending to a beautiful meal. This wasn’t just breakfast — it was an experience. Can’t wait to come back!

I visited Arabian Tea House this afternoon for lunch and it was truly a delightful experience. The place is beautiful. Full of authentic details, calming colors, and a peaceful atmosphere that transports you to another time. The food was delicious, well presented, and rich in traditional flavors. Special thanks to Marga, my waitress, who was incredibly kind and welcoming throughout. She even offered me a cup of Arabic coffee as a gift, which was such a thoughtful gesture and made my visit feel even more special. A must-visit spot in Dubai if you’re looking for authentic Emirati hospitality and a warm, relaxing vibe.
