In short: The biggest mistake in the field of catering that I made in Dubai. Details: 1. We entered by chance — we wanted to go to a restaurant nearby, but we were "intercepted" on the way. They said that this was the right place. The first bell rings — the waiters obsessively offer menus and persuade you to come in. 2. A torn, dirty menu. Already at this stage it was necessary to leave. 3. The child wanted borscht, and then it was on the menu — they decided to stay. As a result, the "borscht" turned out to be just beetroot in the water. Try it if you want to be surprised. 4. While the waiters are calling customers from the street, there is no one inside to serve you. I had to carry the instruments myself. The third cup for the child was brought only on the third attempt. 5. It's very expensive, and the service is the worst. It's better to eat it in a regular shawarma dish — it will be 10 times tastier and cheaper. 6. We fell for the fact that a lot of people are sitting. Then we realized that they were just "random victims" like us. The first and last time. 7. Fraud: you order tea, and there's only one price on the menu. You ask for a kettle, and the price is simply doubled, without warning. Conclusion: Not worth it. And once again, it's not worth it. If you're reading this before the visit, well done. If you're already sitting there, I'm sorry. Bad luck. In short: My biggest dining mistake in Dubai. In detail: 1. We walked in by accident — we were heading to another restaurant next door but got “intercepted” by the staff, claiming this was the right place. First red flag: pushy waiters offering the menu and urging us to enter. 2. Torn and dirty menus. That should’ve been the moment to walk away. 3. Our kid wanted borscht — and they had it, so we stayed. Big mistake. It turned out to be just beetroot in hot water. Try it if you’re into surprises. 4. While staff is busy pulling in people from the street, no one is there to serve you. I had to bring our own cutlery. Took them three tries to bring a third cup for the child. 5. Pricey — and for what? The service is awful. You’ll get a better, tastier meal for a tenth of the price at a small shawarma stand. 6. We were fooled by the number of people sitting inside. Later realized: they’re all like us — first and last timers. 7. Scam alert: tea is priced one way on the menu, but if you ask for a teapot, they just double the price — without saying a word. Conclusion: Don’t do it. Seriously — don’t. If you’re reading this before going in — good job. If you’re already sitting inside — sorry, too late.

Dirty, not tasty. Algol is on the left, not in the menu. Hookah- the price is the same in words, in fact, they charge twice as much in the bill. If you smoke a hookah, then look in the Smoky on the shore, and if you eat, then next to the cauldron

Terrible unsanitary conditions, prices are inflated 3 times, beer water glasses, all chipped, dirty. Illegal alcohol trafficking - there is nothing on the menu. Moreover, you will pay about 300 dirhams for alcohol, at the entrance there is a poor parrot in a cage that is located on the floor. There are a lot of midges and flies - a special electric flycatcher for them, right in the hall. Instead of a door and a wall, there was some kind of film stretched. The menu is all shabby, dirty, torn. The sofas are worn out, as if they came to a cheap Moscow eatery, for 500 rubles to eat. Russian russians decided to leave without trying anything, forced them to pay the bill, tried to explain that they had cockroaches, so they forgot Russian at the moment, although they had spoken Russian well before.
