What to Eat at Dinner In The Sky 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 Dinner In The Sky, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. We still have more reviews to analyze, so the scores may change. 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.

“Oh, the food was amazingly delicious, tender, and just a true food lovers delight. Everyone interested in this daring excursion and experience, I dare you to book directly with them. Bonuses: the waiting area to check in was lavish with light infused water refreshments, signature juice drinks, and timeless music playing. Food choice: Arabic Mezze, Beef short rib, chocolate dome, and the dome had ice cream made with a liquid nitrogen show, as well as a very hot chocolate drizzle yum!”October 2025

Tips for a Better Visit
Choose sunset. Consider a sunset or nighttime session to avoid the heat and get more dramatic views.
Arrive early. Allow extra time for the approach: the area may be dark, under construction and poorly signed.
Expect one hour. Plan around the session length; one review says the whole experience takes about an hour.
Check vegetarian menu. If you do not eat meat, ask about the current vegetarian offering before booking, as one reviewer found only one choice.
Skip alcohol. The drinks are unlimited according to one review, but alcohol is not included.

The Bottom Line
Dinner In The Sky is a Dubai Marina dining experience rather than a conventional restaurant visit: you are strapped into a platform lifted above the ground, with a three-course meal, music and sweeping views. It suits birthdays, anniversaries and anyone looking for a memorable Dubai activity more than a quiet dinner. Food is better than some guests expect, though the views remain the main draw.
Dishes mentioned include Arabic mezze, beef short rib, salmon, pesto pasta and blueberry cheesecake. The chocolate dome gets especially strong praise, while the burrata starter and some general comments about bland or overrated food show that the menu is not uniformly loved. The team takes photos and videos using guests’ phones, and birthday announcements, songs and surprises can add a personal touch.
Safety is taken seriously in the reviews, with guests strapped in and an extra check before the lift. The initial ascent can still feel thrilling or frightening if you are uneasy with heights. Choose sunset or nighttime for cooler conditions and atmospheric views.
Allow extra time to find the drop-off area: construction, darkness and unclear signage have caused confusion. Drinks may be unlimited, but alcohol is not included, and one review puts the experience at almost 700 per person, so budget accordingly.
