Ahla Tallah Grand Gourmet Restaurant | Shisha Cafe - Marina

Stunning Marina Views and Delicious Arabic Bites If you are looking for a spot that perfectly captures the vibrant energy of Dubai Marina, Ahla Tallah Grand Gourmet Restaurant is a fantastic choice. I recently visited for an evening hangout, and the experience was truly memorable, primarily due to the incredible setting. The standout feature of this restaurant is undoubtedly the outdoor seating. Positioned right along the water, it offers an "amazing" view of the marina and the bustling walkway. Watching the glowing lights of the city reflect off the water as boats pass by creates a relaxing, high-end atmosphere that is hard to beat. As for the menu, it features a great selection of Arabic food and international snacks. The falafel was authentic and well-seasoned, but a surprising highlight was the fried mac and cheese balls—perfectly crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. We paired these with a refreshing peach ice tea, a rich and aromatic karak tea, and a classic Diet Coke. The food taste was good across the board, and I was particularly impressed by the generous portion sizes, which offer great value for the location. While the service was okay—perhaps a bit relaxed compared to the high-energy environment—the staff was polite, and the view more than made up for the pace. Overall, it was a great experience. Whether you're there for the food or just the scenery, it's a top-tier spot for a breezy evening by the water.

Food was superb. Steak for me and my wife said best pizza ever (beating Italy!). The melon was excellent as well. Service was outstanding and the Birthday songs bring a great atmosphere. Well done team!

We had a wonderful experience here. Mr. Muhammad( Antonio Banderas )welcomed us warmly and made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. Everything was excellent the meals were delicious, shisha was good, the view was beautiful, and even the tea was perfect. The overall atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxing. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality service and a great place to enjoy their time.

Amazing Vibe and Excellent Experience! ​Ahla Tallah is easily one of the best spots in Dubai Marina. The vibe is absolutely amazing, offering stunning views that create the perfect atmosphere for any occasion. The food is excellent—everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. To top it off, the service is top-notch; the staff is incredibly attentive and welcoming. A 5-star experience all around! Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and even better views.

We had great evening here with very delicious food, fresh and very tasty. The view and atmosphere is fabulous. The workers were very polite and friendly and got sure we got everything we want. Thank you all

I recently discovered this restaurant in Dubai Marina, and it’s become one of my absolute favorite spots by the port! The setting is simply stunning, relaxing by the water, watching yachts glide by, feels like a mini seaside escape right in the city. The food is fantastic: every dish I tried was full of flavor, fresh, and beautifully presented. The menu offers a great variety, and the quality really punches above what you’d expect for the price. Speaking of which, it’s very reasonably priced for Dubai Marina, which makes it even more special. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive, they made me feel welcome and well taken care of. And to top it all off: the view. Sitting on the terrace with such a gorgeous harbor backdrop, enjoying good food and a calm vibe, it’s absolutely magic. All in all, this restaurant is a hidden gem in Marina: breathtaking view, delicious food, great value, and a super relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend for brunch, a cozy dinner, or just a peaceful coffee by the water.

Very nice place to have shisha by the Marina. The staff are very friendly and make the diner experience very enjoyable. This will know be my local shisha. If you are ever in the marina area be sure to visit

I was at the restaurant during my stay and i absolutely loved the experience. From great to food to even better service it was an absolut incredible experience. Thanks a lot to Antonio and Abdul which were super host and i recommended everyone to go here.

First we were suspicious, as I'm used to central places being a tourist trap, but we still decided to stay and have dinner, and was that an amazing experience!!! Tasty food, great coffee, huge portions and pleasant staff! And, last but not least, not very expensive. I definitely recommend, and I would like to be back.

Love this place. Go to when it comes to marina zone. Great food and positive workers. Especially love how smoking area and non smoking area is all seperated. Can't tell you how great the food tastes im just in love. Also the views you get from here is also superior. Also the shisha beats out every single one I have smoked in the area. Come on all this for less than 100aed! As a student this is just great.

I‘ve visited this restaurant already many times and I am always very satisfied! Amazing food, especially halabi kebab and very funny and attentive staff. Seating is outside directly in the Dubai Marina and there is also a good Shisha, if you want one! I will definitely come again!

had an amazing experience at this Lebanese restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. From the appetizers to the main dishes, everything tasted authentic and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for both a casual meal and a special night out. A special thank you to Antonio who made our visit truly exceptional. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional. He took the time to explain the menu, offered great recommendations, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. His positive attitude and genuine hospitality really stood out and made us feel valued as guests. I highly recommend this place, and if you get the chance, ask for Fadi — he will make your experience even better!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this restaurant! From the moment we arrived, everything was simply perfect. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the décor was stylish yet comfortable, and every detail made us feel welcome. The food was outstanding — beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Every dish we tried exceeded our expectations, and it was obvious that great care goes into both the preparation and presentation. The service was also impeccable: attentive, friendly, and professional without ever feeling intrusive. A very special mention goes to Mohammed Hussein, who took amazing care of us throughout the evening. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed at all times. His friendly attitude and genuine hospitality truly elevated our dining experience. Everything was superb from start to finish. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience!

Antonio was our waiter and was truly fantastic. There was little to none wait time. The atmosphere was magical and truly like no other place. The variety of food choices were incredible and everything was cooked to perfection.

Fadi gave us an amazing service, the food and views divine, right in front of the marina. Loved it!! They even gave us fruits afterwards, very sweet.

Absolutely fantastic! Loved the service, the staff are excellent! Would 100% recommend and will definitely come back again. Exception value for money.
