Al Hamidieh Downtown

Al Hamidieh is a great choice if you're looking for an upscale Syrian restaurant in the heart of Downtown Dubai. The location is fantastic right in the city center with a beautiful view of Burj Khalifa. The restaurant features large glass windows that open during the cooler months for a pleasant outdoor-like dining experience and stay closed during summer for comfortable air-conditioned seating. The food is excellent, with generous portion sizes and authentic Syrian flavors. There's also a dedicated indoor smoking area where you can enjoy shisha in a relaxed setting. Service is friendly and efficient, and the staff is attentive without being intrusive. Valet parking is available for AED 25, which adds to the convenience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy quality Levantine cuisine in a stylish and central location.

Mixed grill of impressions but I’ll be back for more Al Hamidieh Downtown served up both highs and lows. Let’s start with the low: the meat. Honestly, it didn’t impress a bit dry and underwhelming in flavor. For a place that takes pride in Levantine dishes, I expected more from the protein star. But then came the redemption: the lahm bajeen was absolutely delicious. Thin, crispy, full of flavor a real highlight. The salads? Fresh, zesty, and full of life. Those little cold starters, though… not really my thing. Felt like background noise on an otherwise flavorful table. Service was kind and attentive, which always adds to the experience. Despite the letdown on the meat, there’s enough here to tempt me back. The menu has more to offer, and I’m keen to discover what other dishes might win me over next time.

Seriously good, I’m so so impressed with the food here! If you want proper Levantine food (probably not as good as a mother’s food but close enough), go here. Try all the Hamidieh specials, I was particularly impressed with the stuffed lamb. You must try the Hamidieh salad as well. The truffle fries were marvelous too. Super friendly staff and management, respect them and they’ll love you. Sit outside, that’s where the vibe is. If it’s summer just sit by the window. Either way the food will make you happy.
