SMOKED ROOM DUBAI

I've been to lots of great restaurants, and I'd like to stress that Smoked Room is in my top 3. In addition to the cosy, warm atmosphere created by the dim lighting and the beautiful kitchen with its fireplace, the dishes are all excellent and original, and the products are sourced and of the highest quality. It's well known that in Dubai we eat very well, but at Smoked Room, we're on top. We opted for a food and wine pairing that went perfectly with the excellent service on all levels. Many thanks to the whole team and to the manager for his special attention.

Impeccable service, intimate ambience, and sensory-defying levels of molecular gastronomy, Smoked Room serves hit after hit in an 11 course menu. I've tried a lot of great omakases and tasting menus back when I lived in New York and here in Dubai, and this consistently ranks among the best of the best for me. This was my second visit and it was even better than the first with the iteration on key dishes and the warm service that remembered my past visit almost a year ago. The Sturgeon mousse wrapped in squid ink sitting on top of a bed of horseradish cream and caviar was my favorite if I had to pick just one, which is really hard to do since each dish brought something really unique to the table. Great cocktails as well and the desserts round out the experience in a beautiful way. I have a reel on Instagram (@theadarshsinha) that showcases the firsthand experience but suffice it to say that it is one of the most memorable and food coma-ing experiences in Dubai. I've had a lot of not-great but annoyingly expensive omakases, but the value here is more than justified by the quality of ingredients and ambience as well as attention to detail in service and presentation. It's also just really a sheer amount of gastronomical food that makes this well worth it.

One of the best restaurants in Middle East featuring an amazing menu by chef Dani Garcia. The place is welcoming and luxurious. The menu is incredible with one of the most amazing wine pairings I’ve seen. Long live smoked room, one of the best in the world.

I loved the smokey vibes at the restaurant with its exclusive experience accommodating 14 guests. The 11 course menu was very delicious especially their dessert but didn’t enjoy their non-alcoholic pairings much. The staff were extremely friendly, funny and the chef, Jesus Lobato Suarez, who received the Young Chef Award at Michelin Guide Dubai 2024, made sure we enjoyed the experience! I highly recommend it but keep in mind, you will smell smokey after it!

A fantastic dinner experience indeed! I was blown away with all of the dishes, from their taste to presentation and creativity. Absolutely incredible.

My husband and I had a fantastic experience with Smoked Room where we celebrated our wedding anniversary - the staff was very knowledgeable and welcoming and the food was equally excellent. Would highly recommend!

The restaurant was absolutely phenomenal, offering an unforgettable dining experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was refined yet welcoming, and the service was impeccable. The standout dishes for me were the dry-aged amadai, grilled to perfection with rich, complex flavors, and my favorite dessert was a delightful sake base with soy ice cream— really innovative and divine. Every bite was a revelation, making it one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Congratulations to the chef for being the best—his culinary genius truly shines through every dish. Truly a culinary masterpiece!

Best dining experience I’ve ever had, was my 3rd time here in a year. Everything from the food to service/staff and ambience is top notch. Can’t recommend enough.
