Tips for a Better Visit
Check fees. Ask about any music-request fee before ordering: one guest reported being quoted 1,000 AED.
Try Thursday. Thursday may be the night to target for karaoke; one reviewer called it “A MUST”.
Sing first. If you plan to sing, consider doing it before eating; one reviewer found the menu hard to stop ordering from.
Ask upstairs. For a scenic evening, ask about the terrace and views, which one reviewer especially enjoyed at night.

The Bottom Line
Chayka Restaurant & Lounge is a Palm Jumeirah karaoke venue built around a full evening out rather than a quick meal. You can sing on stage with strong sound, watch live performances, and order food and drinks while the MC keeps the room moving. Several reviews mention the song selection, including classics, modern hits and different languages.
Food is more than an afterthought here. Sushi appears repeatedly, with the Philadelphia rolls with truffle and the truffle sushi roll singled out by guests; sashimi, salads and desserts also receive specific praise. Shisha is another regular part of the experience, including a Piña colada version mentioned by one reviewer.
The setting is described as modern, cosy and glamorous, with screens around the room and a terrace with attractive evening views. This looks most suited to groups of friends or a celebratory night where singing and entertainment are the point. Service feedback is largely positive, though one recent review described unfriendly staff and an uneven approach to music requests, including a quoted 1,000 AED charge while others were not charged.
Ask about request fees before ordering, and consider Thursday if karaoke is your priority.
