Use Entertainer. Check The Entertainer app before ordering: reviews describe a buy-one-get-one-main offer that substantially improves value.
Try Off-Peak. For an easier table, consider a mid-afternoon visit; one Saturday at 2:30 pm had no wait, while weekends can be busy.
Share Starters. The Greek dips with warm pita and baked feta are useful choices for sharing before the main course.
Ask About Changes. If you have dietary requirements, ask what can be adjusted; a reviewer says staff changed items where possible.
Skip Meatballs. If choosing between proteins, note that one diner preferred the fish and specifically advised against the meatball.
Order Classics. For a first visit, lean toward the Cretan salad and beef souvlaki, both singled out as reliable choices.

A returning guest found mould on a tomato in a takeaway salad and was disappointed by the lack of a customer-service response.
The Mall of the Emirates location can be busy and loud, especially at peak times.
Multiple diners consider the prices high, with one saying the meal felt worthwhile mainly when using Entertainer.
A recent review mentions less chicken in the pita and smaller portions, while another found the beef skewer small for its price.

The Bottom Line
Eat Greek Kouzina is a Greek restaurant in Al Barsha inside Mall of the Emirates, handy for a proper sit-down meal after shopping or a film. The menu leans into familiar Greek cooking, and reviewers repeatedly mention the Cretan salad, ribeye or fillet steak, grilled octopus and baked feta. Greek diners have also praised its authenticity, while generous dishes and vegetarian choices make sharing easy.
The strongest feedback is about execution: steaks are often cooked exactly as requested, octopus is described as tender, and the dips with warm pita are an appealing way to start. Service is usually attentive and friendly, and kids’ meals have reportedly arrived quickly. The décor gives the open mall setting a more polished, relaxed feel, though one review found the restaurant busy and loud.
Prices can feel high without a promotion, so check The Entertainer app for the reported buy-one-get-one-main offer. Timing matters too: a Saturday visit at 2:30 pm had no wait, while weekend peak periods may be busier. Recent cautions include a complaint about shrinking portions, a mouldy tomato in a takeaway salad and an especially cold dining room.
Food consistency also has occasional misses, so ask about current portions and preparation if something seems different from a previous visit.
