Actual food review & evaluation
🌟Very varied composition and luxurious box feel! Moderate level of satiety.
① Choose **Makboush Samak (fish)**
White fish seasoned with UAE spices and paired with cooked rice. Vibrant looking
② Salad has a fresh texture of cassava wheat and sweet and sour taste of pomegranate.
③ Bread + Dates: Bread is light and dates are chunky, perfect for a UAE cultural experience.
④ Desserts & camel milk-based drinks are especially popular.
The overall volume is about the same as one lunch box. It is satisfying enough to justify the 4,000 yen price tag, but perhaps a bit modest for those who are only looking for quantity.
Summary of advantages and disadvantages
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Experience the full UAE with a variety of content | Portion size is small, like a light lunch box |
| Unique drink options like “camel milk” available | Price is slightly high, but good value by Middle Eastern standards |
| Even when crowded, you can get in within ~30 minutes | Menu prices are hard to see (payment in advance) |
Summary｜Luxurious box lunch to experience “UAE-ness” in taste and ingredients
There is a waiting line outside the pavilion, but the turnover is quick and smooth.
The restaurant is well clad in the typical UAE flavor and culture, including camel milk, dates, sago, and gourmet bento configurations.
If you are looking for a “UAE experience lunch” rather than just a light meal, you will be highly satisfied.
Compared to other pavilions in the Middle East, this is a highly recommended option for “enjoying a cultural experience for more than the price”.
