What to Eat at 1762 Media City How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For 1762 Media City, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Try Bagel. For a dependable breakfast order, consider the smoked salmon bagel; one reviewer has returned to it for around nine years.
Check Cups. If you plan to drink in, ask about the cup format first: one review says only takeaway cups were available.
Use Delivery. Deliveroo may be useful when you want food brought in; a customer reported fast delivery, fresh food and clean packaging.
Plan Lightly. If you want a broad hot-food selection, check the menu first because one recent visit found the options limited.
Expect Counter Service. For coffee visits, be prepared for limited table service; one customer said there was no table service during their stop.
Mind WiFi. Bring a backup connection if you need to work, as one customer found the WiFi unstable.

Small Portions
Long-time customers reported smaller portions, higher prices and less interesting food choices than before.
Unstable WiFi
WiFi was reported as unstable during one visit, which could be frustrating if you plan to work there.

The Bottom Line
1762 Media City is a restaurant-café in Al Sufouh that suits breakfast, office lunches and coffee breaks. The most consistently useful food mentions are the smoked salmon bagel, salads and wraps; the setting also works for an informal meeting, with comfortable seating and a rustic deli look that contrasts with the surrounding offices. The smoked salmon bagel has a particularly loyal following, while the everything bagel with avocado and the bagel with scallion cream cheese also received enthusiastic mentions.
Croissants were described as good value in a combo deal, and healthy, fresh food is a recurring theme. Delivery through Deliveroo has also been praised for being fast, fresh and neatly packaged. Service is one of the café’s strongest points, with repeated comments about kind, cheerful staff.
Still, the experience is not uniformly positive. Recent reviews mention limited hot-food choices, inconsistent coffee, smaller portions and prices that can feel high: examples include 46 AED for a cappuccino and small cookie, and 28 AED for a latte. Coffee may also come in takeaway cups only, while unstable WiFi could make longer work sessions frustrating.
