"Mezlai, in the opulent Emirates Palace hotel , is designed to look like a Bedouin tent-turned-royal residence. The menu takes traditional Gulf ingredients like za'atar, saffron, and rosewater and whisks them into elegant, upscale renditions. Highlights include couscous with scallops, garlic, and saffron; barley with cardamom and veal; and lamb machboos, a popular Arabian Gulf meat-and-rice dish with onions, turmeric powder, and dried lemon." - Jenna Scatena

Went here in December 2021. Great food and service. The outdoor dining area is great and it is located in the gigantic, gloriously tacky Emirates Palace. Make sure to arrive early as you will probably get lost in the fancy hallways of the building. Not to busy when we went, but the experience would have been better without the people eating near us smoking. But overall a great restaurant that is worth visiting.

Food was tasty and high quality. Combination of lots of different middle eastern dishes, including from Iran, Lebanon, Turkey. We had the lamb with cherry sauce and then the lobster and seafood platter, all very yummy. The only reason that we did not rate a 5 is because they did not give any time for us to finish the mezze before the main courses arrived, and there was a discrepancy in the bill (which I did not realize until we left). I would definitely go back here.

Amazing restaurant with super delicious food and service at Emirates palace hotel. Warm welcoming hostess, arabic atmosphere interior. Personally I love their hummus with freshly baked bread and shish tawuk (teste like my father cooks)

This Middle Eastern restaurant is located in the extravagant Emirates Palace hotel and serves Emirati food. The interior is minimalist design contrasting the Gold and flashy entrance of the hotel. I ordered camel tongue and it was delicious. Must try.
