Food 1

Kids’ menu burger Net −1

“However, the kids’ menu burger fell short of expectations. The hamburger was rather plain and the texture too chewy, which didn’t match the otherwise high standard of the restaurant’s offerings.”

The Bottom Line

Ayamna is a Lebanese restaurant in Palm Jumeirah inside Atlantis The Palm, with a polished setting and a menu built around mezze, grilled meats and desserts. The mixed grill, cold and hot Mezzeh, and full inclusive mezze option are among the clearest choices mentioned by diners. The grilled Kanafa is another recurring dessert recommendation.

The restaurant works well for family dinners as well as date nights and anniversaries. Families mention a welcoming approach to children, a kids’ menu and dishes such as chicken soup, while outdoor seating can offer a sea breeze. Friday and Saturday live music is noted in one review, although entertainment such as a belly dancer is not guaranteed every evening.

Portions can be substantial: one couple said the mains were large enough to share, and another found a two-person set menu enough for four. That makes the set menus useful for sampling, though the regular menu was described as pricey for Atlantis. Reserve ahead if your timing matters, and ask about current set-menu inclusions; one Ramadan diner specifically felt water and coffee should have been included.

A practical drawback is very dim lighting, while the kids’ burger received one notably poor review.
