We wanted Middle Eastern food for our last night and to see the Dubai Fountains, so this was perfect. Make a reservation! By the time we did, they said we could only sit inside, but when we showed up an hour earlier, they took us to the terrace. We had the okra dish and then the kabob platters which basically... More

Walking in with a reservation was quick and easy. We were given a table outside with a view to,the Dubai fountain show and the service was great. We were seated in the smoking section which was a little off putting but overall the atmosphere was very good. The food was filling and I felt to be good portions. Was a... More

Abdel Wahhab was the best restaurant that offered Lebanese food in Dubai at least for me! The staff was extra friendly, polite and presentable. We had an already reserved table outside just by the side of the musical fountains. The ambiance was fantastic, quality of customers was good and the musical fountains have offered a unique experience. The food was... More

An excellent terrace viewing the fountains of Burj khalifa ,Food is good but not the best Lebanese that yopu can find in the city ,A good selection of starters . If you are thinking of a late night dinner , they close early because oif the hotel upstairs from the restaurant.

The grilled meats apart, this was a disappointing experience for our group. Unusually small - tourist sized - portions; dishes cleared before one had a chance to finish off the juices (!). So-so breads, and not especially exciting menu. Plainly trading on the view over the fountains, so indoor tables are doubly disappointing.

Beautiful authentic Lebanese food. Starters both hot and cold are superb. Lamb is good but not historic. Service is good unless they get busy and then a little haphazard. If you like good Lebanese food in a great surrounding, I would recommend. Only confusing thing is to get into the place...you have to go through a shopping mall

As a group of work colleagues we were booked in for an evening meal by our Dubai based colleague and host at Abdel Wahab in early 2011. This was my first experience of Arabic cuisine, and to my European palate it reminded me of Greek food, although our Greek representative said it was nothing like Greek. Anyway, I didn't pay... More
