Common Grounds - Mall of the Emirates

Had an amazing brunch at Common Grounds! The food was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully served — from the perfectly cooked steak and eggs to the vibrant salad and rice bowl. The ambiance was cozy and relaxing, making it a perfect spot to unwind. Special thanks to Manager Rhex for being so accommodating and friendly, and to Apple, our server, for the excellent service and warm hospitality. Truly a wonderful dining experience — highly recommended!

Hewas friendly, patient, and made sure everything was perfect. The food was delicious, the ambiance was relaxing, and the service was outstanding. I will definitely be coming back and I’ll surely recommend this restaurant to my friends and family. Keep up the great work! 👏✨

I recently visited Common Grounds and had a truly fantastic experience thanks to two stellar menu items: the Mediterranean Bowl and a side of their fresh guacamole. The bowl was a vibrant masterpiece, clearly made with high-quality, fresh ingredients. I especially appreciated the balanced combination of textures and flavors, from the perfectly roasted eggplant and creamy hummus to the sweet bursts of pomegranate. It was an incredibly satisfying and healthy lunch option that definitely stood out, proving that healthy food can be absolutely delicious. The guacamole, however, deserves its own special shout-out. It was exceptionally fresh, chunky, and seasoned to perfection with a bright hit of lime. It tasted homemade and was the perfect pairing with the crispy tortilla chips. Honestly, the quality of the guac exceeded my expectations and really rounded out the meal. Overall, Common Grounds nailed it. If you’re looking for high-quality, flavorful food in a great environment, I highly recommend ordering the Mediterranean Bowl and making sure you try the amazing guacamole. Five stars all around!

It is located in Mall of Emirates on 2nd level. We have been here many times whenever we visit Dubai. What we like about them the quality of food and drinks. One can have veg, vegan and gluten free food beside healthy juices. This time we had Mocha and Croissant. Both were very good. The service and ambiance was top class. An ideal place to have snacks or full meals anytime of the day.

Wonderful experience all around! The staff were incredibly nice and accommodating — they made us feel very welcome from the moment we walked in. The food was delicious, well-prepared, and served promptly. Great atmosphere and excellent service. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be coming back!

Tried Common Grounds at Mall of the Emirates for breakfast this morning and left pretty disappointed. The food was ridiculously overpriced for what you get—portion-to-price and overall quality just didn’t match the premium they’re charging. Service felt disorganized and unhelpful. When I asked what water they use for the drinks, the waiter couldn’t explain it properly and then said they use tap water for the infused drinks. It was confusing and didn’t inspire confidence, especially given the premium pricing. Nice setting, good food presentation, but between the weak value and the service, I wouldn’t rush back.

I had a wonderful experience at Common Grounds! The food was delicious, the environment was very nice and relaxing, and the service was excellent. I’m really satisfied with everything. A special thanks to Suranga for the great and pleasant service — very friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

There aren’t a lot of options in MOE that offer a decent pour over. Mine was not bad, though I could taste that an older batch of coffee or commercial grade beans were used as it tasted slightly smoky/tobacco like, and Colombian are usually fruity. I like the space though, good little corner of the mall to work or meet people in. Will be coming back!
