One of the best places in Dubai for having a great evening. Delicious cuisine and wonderful atmosphere. I like Novikov’s restaurants wherever I travel

Novikov Cafe Dubai
Russian corner in the heart of Dubai - in the Dubai Mall. The restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine with French cooking methods. Arkady Novikov's restaurant gives the best impression of the food, because it is cooked on charcoal.
The interior is simple, but at the same time with bright accents in the form of artistic furniture. I am also glad that the intimate seating remains, the people at the neighboring tables will not interfere with your evening in any way.

A great restaurant, with a great view of the fountain and the show. They came in twice. The first time is just to have dinner, the second time is about. I liked everything, the meeting, the service, and the kitchen. The first time I took borscht and salmon fillet, it is very tasty, but there is a drawback...borscht could have been fed to three people, I couldn't handle it. The second time I took an octopus, it was a small taste bomb that exploded in my mouth, and left the consequences on my face, in the form of a smile of pleasure. Beyond praise. Thanks!

The place is very beautiful and atmospheric. We booked a table to have a delicious meal and look at the singing fountains. The view of the Burj Khalifa Tower and the singing fountains is simply gorgeous, but the food was disappointing. Fettuccine bolognese is tasteless, they did not eat minestrone soup, there is nothing to talk about. The kitchen was completely disappointed by the word. Deep-fried squid with sauce, not very good either, the sauce is too sour. In general, only the beautiful view, but not the food.

Everything is good, starting from the location - a terrace with the best view of the singing fountains, ending with the Russian-speaking staff and the menu. There are few dishes of really Russian cuisine, but there are. I recommend it, but keep in mind that it's not cheap.

A great place for a restaurant. The view of the fountain is excellent. Prices are high, as in the district in principle. There are questions about food. I ordered seafood and the squid turned out to be straight rubber, obviously over-cooked.

A very beautiful place with a view of the fountains, good staff at the highest level! You can 't drink alcohol , and some dishes are questionable . But mostly I liked everything! It's just a great pleasure to plunge into Russian cuisine in the heart of Dubai itself.

We decided to try Novikov in Dubai.
Well. Visually, apart from the view of the Singing Fountain, it is an ordinary cafe that does not reach the restaurant, unlike the price category of dishes. Outside there is a reception desk. Inside, at the entrance, there is a showcase with desserts and a bar. There are tables around the edges and in the depths. There is a summer terrace outside the window. When she got to the couch, the administrator clarified: in what language the menu is needed. (It is already clear what choice native Russian speakers made).
Picking up a cardboard sheet, there were notes of surprise in his eyes. The cost of one dish starts from 90 dirhams (2250₽).
"Did you know that there is a high price tag in the Emirates, especially for restaurant cuisine" - will flash through your mind.
Yes, I agree. That's the only reason we stayed to taste the carbohydrate order:
🫓 Rooibos tea (tree bark diluted with water) 2/10
Pasta Bolognese (not bad, but the protein component is not enough) 8/10
Oatmeal lasagna (I learned that it is made of oats at home by looking into the translator. The only thing that the taste buds felt was wet pasta sheets with tasteless meat sand) 4/10
🫓Napoleon cake (a dry piece with custard and decor for the price of a whole 2kg cake) 3/10
Of the disadvantages, you can add the lack of welcome bottled water, unlike the surrounding tables. I think they knew something and asked for a menu in a foreign language 😅
And so, apart from a quick serving of dishes, a free bread basket and an additional Free cheese for pasta with a view of the fountains, there is nothing remarkable.
Total: 5/10

We celebrated the engagement of our son in this restaurant. We chose the best one based on reviews. But apart from the good view and service, there is nothing good there. The dishes are terrible, the level is like in the dining room. A chop is a thin piece of breaded meat three times thicker than the meat itself, fatty, deep-fried. French fries were worse than at McDonald's, and cheap Hines ketchup went with it. Tea from a bag from the store for 600 rubles, a pack was served to us for 1000 rubles. Caesar- huge cubes of chicken, the worst Caesar has ever eaten. I liked only gnocchi and crab salad. The bill was $300, it's just unreasonably expensive for such a meal.

A delicious restaurant, and in the evening you can watch a fountain show from the veranda. There is even a delicious non-alcoholic wine, champagne. They have a limit of 200 dirhams per person. I liked everything. The food is delicious

I have had a very negative consumer experience!
The food is nothing special, it is absolutely impossible to say that it is delicious, although the branches of this restaurant in Moscow have proven themselves from a different (tasty) side.
What surprised me about this establishment in Dubai, to put it mildly, is that it is the only restaurant nearby that has a requirement for a client to be seated at a table on the terrace, and this requirement is a minimum check per person! The size of the minimum check per person was announced to us at 200 dirhams.
The place is always empty or half empty and is connected, as I assume, precisely because of the service, which can be rated at 2/2.5 out of 10, incomprehensible and unacceptable requirements (in the minimum check) and completely tasteless food.
This is the only such establishment in this mall with the disadvantages listed earlier.
It's a pity, but I absolutely do not recommend visiting this restaurant!

Classic excellent cuisine at Novikov cafe in Dubai Mall. There is definitely an understanding that there will definitely be no unpleasant surprises ! Only high-quality fresh products , familiar dishes . I recommend you to visit for 3 reasons :
1. The location is great, there is a private terrace.
2. You can watch the evening Fountain show right at the table, bread and circuses!
3. The serving size will please you.
Thank you to the staff, they helped prepare a surprise for my daughter on her birthday.

A wonderful place, a wonderful kitchen! Russian Russian hospitality and friendliness (although the staff is local) allows me to be proud once again that I am RUSSIAN!!! Despite the full landing, the guys found a place for our family on the balcony. My daughter managed to enjoy the musical fountain three times!!!
Price? You guys are in Dubai... 😉
Bravo, Arkady Anatolyevich!!!

We ordered borscht, not salty (there was no salt on the table), thick - it is impossible to eat
We ordered lasagna - shit is rare.
Pasta too, I don't understand where the rave reviews are from, the food is honestly bad.
The shrimps were only good and the bread)
the view of the fountains is beautiful, but the table needs to be booked in advance, they will not put it there, even if there are empty seats, apparently on principle....

The service dropped a year before the assessment 1. The staff in the hall is not trained
and does not understand their role. Painful impressions of this place, although, surprisingly, the kitchen has become better than six months or say a year ago.

The place is beautiful. The service is good. But that's it. I think that if the owner, who risks his name, knew what kind of borscht is served in his restaurant, he would feel bad. I am very sorry for the time spent.

We booked a table on the Russian website.
We got a call back from Dubai for confirmation.
The reservation was made earlier, as much as a month and a half in advance.
Noted others .
Beautiful view of the fountains.
Minuses :
It's very hot on the balcony, of course))
I reminded you about the doctor twice.
Congratulations
My bodies are down to 1%.I asked to put it on charge
As a result, the body was lying somewhere and it was never charged or told about it
They were returned to those who had already sat down
I like the taste of dishes in Russia much more.
I have heard that, oddly enough, but in the UAE it is difficult to find a good product for restaurants
Well, how expensive is everything in Dubai compared to Russia)
There is no alcohol
There are non-alcoholic cocktails
The restaurant itself is small inside
It is located on the fourth floor.
We need to find a Nike store and a restaurant right behind it.
We found it without any problems
Any salesperson from the department will tell you

One of the few good establishments in Dubai Mall! Nice atmosphere and a lovely terrace! There is a menu in Russian! Very tasty food, the price is a little too high, like all the food prices in Dubai! Super nice and unobtrusive waiters!The expectation of dishes is almost minimal. A very nice place!

I will give 5 stars for the quality, the client approach of the administrators, the service and, of course, for the kitchen! Everything is delicious, a good location, the menu will satisfy the wishes of different audiences, I think that the management and the chef have developed the menu competently. I'll come back here next time. A cool view from the balcony of the fountain in the evening. I am responsibly reconstructing! Arkady Anatolyevich and the team, thank you! 👋😁

1. We waited for the order for more than 30 minutes (salad and pasta with chanterelles)
2. The pasta is not even cooked to the state of aldante.
3. The pasta is not salted enough. The salt and pepper shakers are empty on the table.

Great restaurant. Gorgeous view of the fountains. The cuisine in Russia is stronger, of course. But here the views and the setting decide! The prices are 3,000 + for 1 dish! The hostess speaks excellent Russian. The waiters are bad.

In Dubai, apparently, you can break everything, if in Moscow Novikov can be said to be the guarantor of sane service and cuisine. Then everything is exactly the opposite. Mediocre dishes for a high price, coffee is worse than at Lukoil gas stations.
Of the advantages, only a good view of the fountains.

We were at the Novikov restaurant on January 2, 2025, the dishes were all disgusting, the borscht is sour in any restaurant in Moscow, even in the canteen, and the borscht is probably much tastier than in this restaurant. The waiter serves us very poorly, they didn't give us napkins and didn't put a d***** for this we paid 16,000 rubles in Russian rubles. The restaurant sucks along with the kitchen, the service below the baseboard is not recommended to go there.

Russian russians went to the site to see the menu, it is disgusting for Russians, there is nothing at all, since even a barcode cannot allow Russian tourists to make it easier to identify the dish, there is no staff in Russian, in general, I do not advise, the average check is 400-500 dirhams, but it will not be food but desserts
