One of the most authentic, and genuine, food experience you can have in UAE. Welcoming environment, polite and attentive service and delicious local food. Not surprising the fact that is frequented by so many local families. Absolutely recommended
We had good moment and food in this restaurant Servers are so kind and gentle and prepared whatever you need quickly. Fares and Shahan were super host and nice
We have had a wonderful moment at the Arabian Tea house. The food is very good and very good value for money ! Thank you Merkeb for your service ! ☺️
Came for dinner as a random find, but it turned into such a great experience. The food was amazing and the portions were really generous and full of flavour. The service was outstanding—especially Amashi, who looked after us so well. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and truly the best. Definitely made our evening even more special. ✨
Not my first time in an Arabian tea house but defo my first time in this Sharjah branch. Lovely experience. Staff were great and welcoming. Windows were opened and staff bought us over an electronic spinning fly swatter incase they came around due to us being near the port. Food was perfect as well. Great morning service from the team!
Delicious food, fantastic service & excellent value for money. Special thanks to waiters Mr.Fares & Mr Arfeh for their care,help & outstanding service
The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The restaurant has a lovely traditional Emirati atmosphere that feels calm and welcoming. The place is clean, cozy, and perfect for a relaxed breakfast or brunch. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the service was great. A wonderful spot to enjoy authentic local food in Sharjah. Highly recommended.
Bright and airy location near the heart of Sharjah. The large bay windows seem like they welcome the outside heat, but it is actually very cool and fresh inside. The menu is large enough that there's something for everyone (get there early enough to try the breakfast options, as they're great).
A beautiful white-themed restaurant & café, ideally located in the heart of Sharjah with lovely corner views overlooking the port. The place offers ample seating, both indoors and outdoors, making it a great spot to relax and unwind. The menu is extensive with plenty of options, although vegetarian choices are comparatively limited. We were excited to try some of the newly added dishes, but unfortunately, they weren’t available during our visit ☹️ We tried the Mutabbal and the special Zuhurat Tea. ✨ Mutabbal – perfectly roasted eggplant blended with yogurt and served with fresh Arabic bread. ✨ Zuhurat Tea – a soothing pot of mixed herb and flower tea. Ratings: • Mutabbal – 10/10 • Zuhurat Tea – 10/10
