Almayass by the Sea

January 20, 2025
3 / 5

The Verdict

Almayass by the Sea, Lebanese Armenian cuisine with coastal fair. Cozy and chic decor of wooden furniture, maroon walls and rose gold drop lights. The menu is typical of what you would expect in a Lebanese restaurant. The tabbouleh, the wara enab (fine leaves), the kebbeh Nayyeh and the kebbeh Karaz were outstanding. The Kabab Armenian on the other side was on the dry side. In general. The appetisers outlined the mains. The Kunafa Almayass is in fact a cheese Mamool (but still creative and delicious). In sum, this has the potential to be the best Lebanese restaurant in Dubai.
