What to Eat at Al Baha Levantine Restaurant 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 Al Baha Levantine Restaurant, 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.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Al Baha Levantine Restaurant, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

The Bottom Line
Al Baha is a Levantine restaurant in Port Saeed, on the ground floor of Al Khoory Sky Garden Hotel. It suits diners looking for familiar Levantine plates in a comfortable setting, and hotel guests have the added option of ordering food directly to their rooms. Arabic shawarma is a recurring recommendation.
The reviews point to several dishes worth considering: lamb shawarma, lamb chops, chicken shawarma and a trio of hummus featuring classic chickpea, eggplant and red-spiced versions. One diner rated all three hummus dishes 10/10. Warm fresh bread is also reported as a complimentary appetizer, while the ambience and Dubai skyline view add to the appeal for a relaxed meal.
Service is generally described as courteous, friendly and attentive, and several reviewers mention good value, generous portions or reasonable prices. There are some specific cautions: one customer received seekh kebab after ordering kofta, another found the kebab khous khash portion different from the menu, and a delivery review complained about smell, reheated food and unanswered calls. If you use Entertainer vouchers, clarify the redemption policy before arriving, especially for a group.
The soup has a notably poor review, so the hummus and shawarma dishes look like safer starting points.
