Food: Super delicious and tasty lebanese cuisine with mesmerizing views of the Burj plus indoor ambience is also fascinating.
Service: Kind of disappointment as I visited this place 3 times so far and each time I found the waiters TAKING away the dishes (plates) while we are still eating our food. First I though maybe it was due to dine outdoor to save time for more guests to enjoy Burj views but I experienced the same while dining indoor as well. Its really not been counted as serving Etiquette.

Loved the whole experience at this place, it was worth the visit.
To start with, the place is big, clean, well organized and comfortable with spaces between tables.
Service is excellent, the team is well trained and very professional, not a single mistake.
As for the food, it is super delicious, good ingredients and portions, freshly baked bread and perfect shrimp fatte and grilled shrimps.
Prices are high, but worth the experience.

Al Hallab Bab El Bahr is a hidden treasure along the coast, offering a remarkable dining experience. The welcoming atmosphere and stunning sea views set the stage for an unforgettable meal.
The staff's hospitality and knowledge were exceptional, ensuring a delightful culinary journey. The seafood dishes were masterfully prepared, showcasing the freshest ingredients and remarkable flavors. The grilled sea bass was a standout, perfectly cooked and accompanied by flavorful grilled vegetables.
The seafood paella was a highlight, with saffron-infused rice and a generous selection of fresh seafood. The desserts, especially the traditional Arabic sweets, were a sweet revelation.

One of the favourite restaurants for me since 2017 , every time when i visit Dubai i should eat in this restaurant
Didn’t get pictures of the restaurant, food, or receipts but I can sure tell you about the experience itself. First of all, I love Lebanese food. It’s hard not to obsess over the hummus with meat, the bread, and typical meat dishes. They were modern with a tablet as a form of digital menu, but still had you order with the waiter. It was a Saturday night and decently packed (you have to think twice about coming during winter time, it’s surprisingly chilly). We were a party of four, two couples, and shared a meat dish, a shrimp fatteh (I believe it’s called but don’t quite me on this), hummus with meat and bread, the aubergine version, and even for big eaters - I’d say we were quite full. We finished the dinner with sharing the round cookie-like desert you see her. It had all the baklava like flavors but was an ice cream cookie sandwich. Nice to try! Happy to share among the four of us. It would have been a lot of food for one. The waiter was extra kind, made some jokes, made sure to bring a standing heater, and the location was central (free parking below!) so what more could we ask for? We probably paid around 100 AED per person which, I’m surprised by considering we were on the boardwalk in downtown!
Location very nice, outside seating in November night weather highly recommend, the Hummus with meat was the best dish.
Unfortunately, the sea bass meal was bland grilled, not seasoned at all and the sauces were average that came with it. (Was highly recommended by the waiter).
Overall good experience, but won’t order the sea bass.

We visited various good restaurants in Dubai as a tourists, and we found this our favourite one, we have been here multiple times and we will get back again for sure.
Food is definitely very very good and price is not so expensive as the location might suggest.
Desserts are amazing, ice cream in first place: I'm Italian and trust me, an ice cream lover (try the chocolate or strawberry ones).
Fish is fresh and you can get the ones that you prefer.
I could have shot more photos about the dishes, but..my stomach was more impatient... 😅
Waiters are good to check your needs and suggest appropriately, and they were nice with my 6y daughter.
Location is very nice and not noisy as you might expect seeing the street in front of them.
Compared to other "Al Hallab" in the city, this is the best one for service and ambience.
The only small defect that taller people might find problematic is the table, not allowing you to stretch your legs due to his shape.

If you’re craving lebanese and seafood this is the place to go. Unique and delicious seafood dishes with a lebanese twist. The shrimp Provençal, fish shawarma and batata harra are my favorites. A spot for a weekend family lunch. Large restaurant with spacious tables and the cleanest bathrooms.
