1. Gazebo Restaurant

For an all-around good time with a flair of royal fantasy, Gazebo checks all the boxes. This restaurant chain offers relaxed entertainment and tasty dining for hungry customers of all ages and provides a delivery service. 

Gazebo Restaurant tops our list because it is the type of restaurant you can visit with friends, alone, or with family.

The Indian food on selection is prepared using the finest ingredients, and the methods used have been tried and tested through the ages. 

Gazebo may be best known as the UAE’s first restaurant to serve Dum Pukht Biryani, but they also serve various other delectable dishes.

There is something special for every foodie in the broad menu of delicious Kababs, lavish Curries, fragrant Biryanis, and sumptuous Desserts. 

Gazebo is a one-of-a-kind restaurant serving delicacies from Lucknow, Awadh’s royal kitchens, and the Northwestern Frontier.

There is no need to emphasize that Gazebo is unlike any other Indian restaurant. It’s the culinary adventure of a lifetime, with a friendly atmosphere and attentive staff. 

Visiting Gazebo at Sarah Center is like taking a trip to yesteryear. It is a genuinely regal Indian adventure.

Private dining rooms are available at most locations, while the restaurant features ambient lighting, relaxing music, stunning designs, and delightfully cozy seating designs.

2. Dampa Feast Seafood Restaurant

If you are a seafood fan, Dampa Feast Seafood Restaurant will entice your taste buds. Not only do they serve a wide variety of fresh seafood, but the service is typically outstanding and provided by well-trained and friendly staff.

Legend has it that the restaurant was started by a fisherman and his wife. The loving couple lived in a little nipa hut on the beach.

The fisherman worked tirelessly at the harbor, but that meant that he had little time or energy left to maintain the family home. 

Realizing the fisherman’s talent for preparing delicious meals, people’s enthusiastic response inspired the fisherman, and he eventually expanded their modest nipa hut to serve as a seafood restaurant, too.  

You and your loved ones are almost invited to put aside your smartphones and tablets and sit down to a meal of fresh seafood prepared in the traditional Dampa style.

Eating with your hands allows you to disconnect from the world and reconnect with loved ones over a shared experience away from the noise and distraction of the modern world.

Enjoy a meal of fresh prawns, shrimp, crab, or the catch of the day.

3. DineBest Restaurant & Café 

The casual eating establishment, DineBest, may be found in every corner of the United Arab Emirates, including Sahara Mall. We love it for its accessibility and no-fuss atmosphere.

The excellent tasting menu is an added bonus, and they boast a variety of steaks, chicken, seafood, pasta, soups, salads, and delectable desserts on the broad menu. 

The friendly, hardworking wait staff does their best to meet the customers’ needs, making the establishment feel warm and inviting.

DineBest Restaurant & Cafe is a meat-lovers dream location that serves perfectly grilled steak, no matter how you like it done. They use high-quality meat and marinade, and garnishes that complement them.

PAUL Bakery & Restaurant originally crossed oceans and countries, traveling from France to set up its shop in Marina Mall, Kuwait.

That was back in 2003. Bringing the French notion of “Art de Vivre” to the region was something that Azadea took great pride in. 

Azadea has expanded to the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain, Egypt, KSA, and Oman, after the triumph of PAUL in Kuwait. There are currently more than 60 of their stores and restaurants, and the chain is still growing. 

Even at 133 years old, PAUL Bakery and Restaurant remains the official representative of the French joie de vivre.

The company celebrates the dedication of its employees, who all share a passion for providing consumers with the highest quality items in a magical and one-of-a-kind environment.

One of the most characteristic noises of a Japanese kitchen is the sizzling of freshly prepared food on a Teppanyaki grill.

It would be their pleasure to welcome and serve you at a Fujiyama Restaurant, which can be found in many of the main shopping malls in the United Arab Emirates, including the Sahara Centre.

We certainly love this restaurant for its fiery, busy atmosphere, friendly staff, and beyond-delicious food. No list of best restaurants would be complete without them in our books. 

Some of Fujiyama Restaurant’s top-selling dishes include their Junior Combo Meal, Teppanyaki Beef, and Chicken Teriyaki, Chicken Teriyaki, and Fuji Vegetables Noodle Soup.

10. PappaRoti Café

PappaRoti is a cozy café near the Sahara Center’s food court. We love it for its atmosphere and the world-renowned buns that we simply cannot get enough of. Then there is the coffee, of course.

The papparoti is a type of bun that originated in Malaysia. These delicious buns are made using sugar, yeast, egg, milk, flour, salt, and butter.

The PappaRoti (meaning father of the bun) chain was purchased by savvy businesswoman Rasha Al Danhani in 2009. She began trading in Dubai Mall using the coffee-covered bun as her signature snack.

The most popular items selected from the menu include the plain bun, cheese bun, Nutella bun, caramel macchiato, cappuccino, and milk tea. We recommend you try as many items as possible and decide which you love the most.
