“I picked the Early Bao breakfast from the menu to see if it’d be breakfast worthy. It didn’t disappoint! Three soft Bao filled with eggs soufflé, Turkey breast, cheddar cheese, bacon, topped with Rocco leaves and chives. Didn’t think I’d relish it as a breakfast dish but I was wrong and it was quite filling.”

Confirm lunch. If you are going for business lunch, confirm the serving cut-off directly and ask for the arrangement in writing if timing is tight.
Check discounts. Do not rely only on an app-displayed discount; confirm with the restaurant before placing your order.
Try breakfast. The AED 48 breakfast set includes a main course, juice, coffee or tea, and bread with butter and jam.
Allow time. Build in extra time during quieter-looking evening visits, as one Sunday dinner was slow despite the restaurant not being crowded.
Order enough. If you arrive hungry, consider more than one burger or a side, since one reviewer found a single burger potentially unsatisfying.

A Sunday evening visit took longer than expected despite light crowds, and another diner reported food taking a long time in an empty restaurant.
One review found the burgers very small and another said a single burger might not satisfy a hungry diner.
Feedback is not uniformly positive: some pasta lacked flavour, while the halloumi fries were described as oily with an unpleasant aftertaste.
A customer was refused a business lunch after arriving at 4:28 PM following a phone assurance it could be served until 4:30 PM.
One diner said discounts shown in the app were not accepted by the restaurant, so confirm the terms before ordering.

The Bottom Line
Falla at Mirdif City Centre is a casual fusion restaurant where American, Italian and Arabic influences show up in comfort-food dishes with playful names and presentation. Breakfast is a major draw: the AED 48 set includes a main course, juice, coffee or tea, and bread with butter and jam. French toast is repeatedly recommended, while the Early Bao breakfast was described as filling.
For lunch or dinner, the Monalisa pasta, mushroom burger, calamari and truffle fries are among the more useful orders to know about. Reviews also mention a weekday business lunch at AED 54, with a sharing option that worked for two friends. The food is often described as fresh, hot, flavourful and well presented, and the cozy, relaxed atmosphere suits family meals or coffee with friends.
There are a few practical cautions. Burger portions can feel small, and one diner found the beef merely average despite liking the sauces. Halloumi fries received particularly poor feedback, while service has occasionally been slow even when the restaurant was quiet.
If you are visiting for a business lunch or using an app discount, confirm the current terms and timing first; one customer arrived after a phone assurance and was still refused the offer.
