olea - kempinski hotel mall of the emirates

i wasn't so sure about this restaurant and thought it would be average but olea is by far the best restaurant in dubai for middle eastern cuisine. for starters, if you arrive early you can have drinks at the bar. secondly the ambience is absolutely amazing. but more so, theserviceand food. this is the perfect venue to tease your culinary taste buds. it was a business dinner but the best one and my guests were equally impressed. i can't wait to return with more guests and spread the word!

well done olea team. you totally exceeded our expectations!!

dining experience was great. to tell that their desserts are mouth-watering is not an exaggeration. sushi selections are amazing. loved how they used the colors of tobiko and fresh salmon. definitely a must have when you go to kempinski. olea is just a haven for sushi and sweet lovers especially with the high-endservicefrom mr. hany. dining with olea is extremely a remarkable experience.

top of the class fine dining arabic restaurant.serviceis slightly slow. but food is exceptionally good.
most of the items were the best in it's class in dubai.
i had a dinner here with a set menu following a medical seminar in the hotel, sponsored by the organisers.
the set menu had all the mid eastern classics. i don't know the names of them.
the restaurant is huge. decorated in a soft and silent way. no loud colours. soft understated ambience. total privacy. total high class. tabling was great. plating was superb.
servers were extremely well behaved.
i specially loved the meat with rice item, which is prepared in a reverse manner. chicken liver. shrimps. salads. even the thin pizzas were lovely. the barbcued kababs specially with minced meat was divine. the kunafa was considered one of the best in dubai , by my arabic colleague.

we went to olea with a group of 10-12 friends for dinner. the reason of choosing olea was again a recommendation from another friend and olea did not disappoint us. the restaurant is located inside kempinski mall of the emirates and has a very cool and spacious design. they also have outdoor seating. they serve middle eastern food mainly lebanese, turkish cuisines. we ordered many different mezes hot and cold and all of them were great in taste.servicecould have been quicker but still it was ok. overall a good option for middle eastern food in a nice ambiance.
