Harummanis

The best Singaporean style food I have had in Dubai in 14 years. If you like this style of food, make sure you visit. Beats all the others in Dubai by a long way except perhaps the far more expensive Peppercrab in Grand Hyatt. The bill was crazy cheap too……starters far larger than one person can eat for 40 - 55 aed. Main courses for 70aed, again far larger than one person can eat. Parking right outside is super easy, the decor js lovely and the menu nicely targeted with each dish focused on. The crab spring rolls were excellent, the chicken wings lovely and the main course Beef Rendang so tender and flavourful. I will be back.

We had a very enjoyable lunch at Harummanis Dubai, where the food was consistently good with several standout dishes. The duck pancakes, lamb chops, Udang Goreng, and Rendang beef were all flavorful and well prepared. We finished with the Sarang Semut dessert, which was also very nice. What truly elevated the experience was the excellent service — attentive, warm, and professional throughout. A lovely spot for quality Malay cuisine in Dubai.

We decided to give Harummanis a go for dinner during our visit to Dubai in September 2025. The Modern Malay Singaporean cuisine was yummy and tasty with authentic flavours. Some of the notable entree and main dishes we had was their rojak buah, lempeng itik, kangkong belacan, signature beef rendang and the chicken satay with percik sauce. We also had the sarang semut for desert which was excellent to cap off the dinner. To top it off we were treated to several slices of their kuih lapis which brought back good memories and a variety of sambal belacan to taste test. Rupesh, our host was knowledgeable and weaved a story about the origins of the dishes served. Five stars overall, but 4 stars for atmosphere due to the malfunction to the aircon that night. I am sure the staff will get on-top of that, they did have temporary evap coolers that night which took the edge off the temperature and we were thankful for their efforts in keeping us comfortable.

An exceptional experience! The service is outstanding, the staff take the time to explain the story and inspiration behind each dish, which makes the meal even more special. The food is flavorful and full of character. You can really feel the passion and care in every detail. A must-visit spot if you appreciate authentic flavors and warm hospitality. The Lapis cake is the best cake I have ever had.

✨ 10/10 for Harummanis ✨ A modern Malay–Singaporean restaurant that truly delivers. From starters to dessert, every dish is packed with rich, premium flavors. The service is impeccable, the atmosphere is cozy, and it all comes together in a Michelin-star experience. No doubt I’ll be coming back again! 🥂🍴

If you want to taste Malay culture in Downtown, this one is a nice choice. I really the last part that they offered the local dessert. It was so good and we love it.

We went with a lot of expectations after reading all the reviews and since it's Michelin star. The food and service were totally underwhelming. I had pieces of shell in my clam starter, and the chciken rendang was nothing to write home about. The restaurant is also very warm for a summer lunch. I wonder if their regular chef went on holiday! Or just out luck that the food wasn't above par. Doubt that we will go back.

Yesterday we visited the modern Malay restaurant Harummanis for lunch and had a remarkable dining experience. Located in Wasl 51, the restaurant’s interior is Malay-inspired and has welcoming vibes. From start to finish, we had an amazing time, the drinks, the food and the hospitality was exceptional.
