What to Eat at Adaline 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 Adaline, 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
Choose timing. For a quieter start, book around 8 pm; one review says the music programme began at about 10 pm as the room filled.
Book weekends. Choose Friday or Saturday if live music is the main draw; a customer specifically noted performances on both nights.
Request seating. Ask whether you can sit near the band if you want the performance to be central to the evening.
Try karaoke. If dinner is not the whole plan, ask about the downstairs karaoke room, which a reviewer praised for its sound.
Check photo rules. Keep the dining-room phone away: one review says photos and videos are not allowed in the dining area.

The Bottom Line
Adaline is an Italian supper-club in DIFC where dinner is closely tied to live entertainment. You can order Italian favourites such as burrata, homemade pasta and ravioli, or pizza Margherita, while singers and a band build the evening atmosphere. The downstairs karaoke room adds a separate option after dinner.
The setting is a major part of the appeal. Reviews describe warm lighting, elegant vintage-inspired design and old-school jazz-era glamour, with a crowd that feels dressed up rather than casual. Live jazz and varied singers are usually central to the experience, but one guest found the music quiet enough to talk over dinner.
Another said the programme began around 10 pm after an earlier, calmer meal. Food reviews are unusually specific: customers praised creamy burrata, al dente pasta, generous ravioli with ragù, seafood crudités, homemade focaccia and a memorable Millefeuille. Service is repeatedly described as attentive, friendly and professional, including helpful food and wine recommendations.
This is not a budget dinner; one reviewer explicitly called it expensive. Book ahead if you want a table near the band, and check the evening schedule if live music matters. Photos and videos are reportedly not allowed in the dining area.
