The Bottom Line

Al Safadi Restaurant The Pointe is a Lebanese restaurant in Palm Jumeirah that combines familiar mezze and grills with a waterfront setting. You can order hummus, shawarma, shish tawook, mixed grill or fresh fish, then finish with the sticky date pudding that several diners remembered fondly. Outdoor tables look towards Atlantis, the sea and, from some spots, the dancing fountain and water show.

The food receives especially strong comments for freshness and consistency. Hot, fluffy bread is served generously, the falafel was praised for its crisp outside and soft centre, and one first-time diner found the lamb perfectly seasoned and cooked. The menu also has plenty of vegan and non-vegan mezze choices.

Timing matters. Outdoor seating is popular and one reviewer waited 45 minutes even after arriving half an hour early; another described service as slow and chaotic on a particularly difficult visit, although many others found it quick and attentive. If you want fish, reviews say you can select it before it is prepared.

This is more convincing as a lunch or dinner destination than a breakfast stop: one breakfast review found the menu small and the falafel disappointing. Shisha is available, but feedback is mixed and one diner considered it expensive. Ask about updating your paid Pointe parking ticket after the meal.
