The Bottom Line

Awani is a Middle Eastern restaurant in Dubai Marina with a menu shaped by Levantine cooking. It suits diners who want familiar regional dishes in a polished setting, from creamy hummus, fattoush and lentil soup to chicken kebabs, shawarma and mixed grill. The terrace, with views towards the yachts and waterfront, is a major part of the appeal.

Breakfast is one of the strongest reasons to visit. Reviews mention a generous Levantine spread with mezze, hot dishes, crispy falafel, shakshuka and warm bread; the breakfast tray was reported at 88 AED including drinks and enough for two. For lunch, a business set for two was mentioned at 99 AED.

The Mixed Grill Charcoal, Fattoush Smash and Trio Hummus also receive specific praise, with the latter served alongside complimentary qubbus. Outdoor seating works well for a relaxed meal or shisha when the weather allows, and mall parking was reported as free. Service is generally described as friendly, quick and attentive, though one outdoor visit involved a frustrating wait for bread and water.

If you are seated outside, it is worth checking that table essentials arrive promptly.
