shakespeare and co.

we visited shakespeare and co. on our visit to al hamramalland this is the first time i tried in this restaurant chain. the restaurant was well decorated and nicely lit. we ordered rainbow vegan pad thai and spinach lasagna. as soon as the order was taken, we were served with few pieces of hot breads with pesto sauce. the culinary they use are very attractive and the breads were very fresh. 

spinach lasagna: well cooked with enough amount of spinach.

rainbow vegan pad thai: this was ultimate and we liked very much. it tasted exactly like pad thai and the vegan protein chunks they added in it tasted like meat giving vegans the same taste. recommended.

hygiene - 4/5
taste - 4/5 
ambience - 4/5 

pricing is quite above average and overall a nice experience.

i love shakespeare & co and been to dubai mall, souk al bahar, al ainmalland jimimallbranches.  some branches may serve better food than others though.  friendly staff and efficient service is consistent and i always love their bread and butter (the green one).  can be a bit pricey but portions are good for sharing.

we went to shakespeare for a dinner with family. we ordered one mixed grill and a penne bolognese. i requested some customizations and staff was great to respond to all. mixed grill included a half portion steak, 2 lamb chops, half portion chicken and a chicken sausage. all was fresh and delicious. only drawback was that bolognese sauce was too salty. the ambiance in themallis not great burly still one of the good options over there.

very nice service and food, super happy with the free chocolate fondant for my birthday 😍😍 thank you shakespeare al ainmallbranch ☺️😍😍😍

perfect location if you are looking for a casual setting and inexpensive, good quality meal. the restaurant is located on the ground floor of al hamramalland had a steady flow of customers at lunch and dinner time. the interior is very pretty with pale pink and light coloured walls and an abundance of picture frames hung on the walls. i have been on several occasions and always found the food and service to be good. there is also free wi-fi available. we ordered a lasagne and the fisherman's catch, exchanging the rice for fries. both meals were of a good size and good value.

i was on a visit to hamramalland i felt like having a good soup and salad so i walked into shakespeare. amazing experience, christy my server was delightful, the tomato soup is so rich and has the rich spices, and the salmon salad was so good with great tasting dressing. portion of salad was big, i asked for avocado in the salad and they did not charge me extra. that was a memorable experience.

my first visit to the hamramallbranch of shakespeare & co. and i wasn't disappointed at all.

as always the unique decor makes this place stand out from the crowd.... it was relatively quiet for a public holiday but i guess most people were sleeping in after the new year's eve festivities.

we ordered the poached salmon salad, fish & chips & the egg shakshouka. the fish & chips were ok and pretty overpriced in my opinion but all the other dishes were pretty good. i also had the very berry smoothie which i found to be really good and not overly sugary like you find in most other places. for dessert we had the lemon tart which looks stunning and had a strong lemony tang without being overly sweet. liked it a lot.

service was average as the waiting staff did not come back to our table on and off during the course of our meal to check on us but i'm willing to give them a pass today as they were probably short staffed. prices on certain items are little exorbitant but again you are paying for the whole package so it just about balances out..... just!!!!

overall i enjoyed the meal and will probably make it a point to visit their naeemmallbranch more regularly for coffee & cake since it's much much closer to where i live.

the shakespeare & co we tried was located in al hamramallrak, we were hungryyy and waiting to have a full scrumptious breakfast. although located inside themall..the moment you enter the cafe you feel you are instantly transported to the victorian era ..with lavender colored drapes, laces, and chandeliers . i absolutely loved the feel of the place . 🙂

to dine or not to dine, if that is the questing, go straight in. sc is gourmet served in style. unique decor marks it out from all of the others in the mall. a great place to hang out for coffee and cakes which are done with supreme expertise. carrot cake my favorite. bakery products a cut above anything else you get in themall- sandwiches, delicious. time well spent. but then what's what you expect of a restaurant that evokes the greatest name from england.

again ,again ,and again
shakespear alainmallservice beyond all recognition
what happened there simply high standard of customer service scope .
i visit them with my family me my wife and 2 child my we set inside family room but my boys starting moving and want to go outside while it really hot . i explain to ahmed the manager there what happened ,
he made the arrangement with his staff to make a good place out . he sent the ac out he personally take our food order , he made that moment nice dinner ,
about the food it is as usual as requested no any mistake founded also he suggest us a plate for my kids too .

staff also was really expert they know each things what customer needs ,
i guess such staff they have a good manager as they trade between them self very friendly helpful good work environment .

thanks shakespear as you made that day

spent the weekend at cove rotana rak and decided to have dinner with my husband at shakespeare in hamra mall. since rak only has decent restaurants in malls, we were forced to choose thismallwhich was close to our hotel.

we ordered a tomato soup for starter and the fettuccine alfredo as well as penne arabiatta pink sauce for mains.

for dessert we took the chocolate eclair.

we absolutely loved the piping hot soup that the staff kindle split for us into 2 bowls. it was fresh and had a hint of ginger and cream.

the plating of the pasta dishes were spectacular and very aesthetically pleasing. the pasta was equally delicious. the portions were quite large as well.

the chocolate eclair was delicious - the choux pastry was crispy yet soft and the chocolate cream inside was not overly sweet either.

my only negative feedback would be the fact that shakespeare do not allow customers to use entertainer vouchers for any of their pastas or sandwiches. only for their big main dishes which are all non vegetarian. to make an exception for vegetarians they have allowed 2 pastas from the menu to be part of the voucher. i disagree that other dishes on the menu are not main courses!! quite disappointed with this as entertainer is not a free book; we pay for it!

i live beside al hamramall, so i visited this place many times with my queen dima suliman .
the decoration is very warm , food is delicious , shisha not bad but its good thats available .

prices are acceptable , slightly expensive !

i came back after so much time it was a good experience at least!
the lunch was tasty and the service this time exquisite! we had the freekeh salad with a side of smoked salmon, and we also tried the steak with lemon sauce.
the potato base was a bit tasteless but it was fine

my previous experience
craving some cakes and coffee we passed to al hamramallbranch.
first of all the waiters are very slow and non reactive. we sat outside and it took a while for us to get the menus. we went to the cake display which was practically empty lacking options.back to our table we called the waiter to order however it took her forever to understand a simple order of sorbet i had to show her on the menu what i am requesting.off to the second request of a cake, american coffee and cappuccino. and here we started receiving our order seperately first the cake then the sorbet then american coffee then cappuccino. even the sugar came later. it was deceiving and unpleasant because of this service plus why the small piece of avergae cake cost that much??
