Quotes

"What hits me when I enter the restaurant is zest, energy and kindness. What you can expect here is true honest hospitality."

"This restaurant was founded and run by three brothers. Mohammad, Omar and Wasim Orfali. Mohammad is going to be our guide today. He's smiling, open-minded and you can tell he loves what he does."

"I take a seat and dive into these colorful dishes. As they say, these dishes are to be shared. Although I could eat them all just by myself."

"We started with one bite and there were beautiful flavors in them. But my favorite was the oolala, which is practically a complete dinner in a bite. Acidity, fat, protein, sweetness, everything in one bite. Layers after layers."

"Each of them was fresh and balanced with characteristic flavors. We tried two hot dishes. Despite being completely different, they were in harmony. One was elegant and smooth, the other was homey and spicy."

"There is an unusual thing. There is no alcohol in this restaurant. Although the non-alcoholic pairing is nice. Not just according to me. It won the GoMeals Best Non-Alcoholic Offering title in 2025."

"The service is immaculate. It's not tight, not fake. It makes you relaxed. The people who work here are really here. Not just to take orders, but they talk to you, they listen to you. And what's most important, it is visible that they really care about this place."

The dishes are delicate yet deeply flavorful, reflecting the restaurant’s commitment to quality. The experience is both soothing and memorable, rounding out a day of diverse culinary adventures across Dubai."

"In the next restaurant, I'm gonna do something I usually don't. I will only eat vegetables. Because our way leads to Avatara, located on Dubai Hills Estate. This is a One Michelin star Indian restaurant."

Happy Noodles & 欢喜面馆

Dubai

Chinese

Ditch The Silver

"Happy Noodles delivers a punchy, affordable Chinese street food experience right in the heart of Dubai. The reviewer was impressed by the value—large portions of chicken dumplings and slow-braised beef noodles for under 30 dirhams. The standout was the intense, numbing mala spice in the broth, which left a lasting impression. Despite the bustling, noisy setting and the challenge of eating without splashing, the flavors and authenticity made it a memorable stop on the cheap eats tour."
