The Good Stuff
Foul Qulabi
The Foul Qulabi earns especially strong feedback, with one reviewer giving it 10/10 alongside green chili in olive oil.
Fresh tamees
The tamees is described as freshly baked, soft and a particularly good match for the foul.
Saudi setting
Classic Saudi decorations, calm music and cultural details give the restaurant a distinctive atmosphere for breakfast or brunch.
Family-friendly
Reviews describe the setting as comfortable for families, friends and couples, with medium-sized plates that make sharing several dishes practical.
Free parking
Free parking is mentioned outside the restaurant, a useful convenience when visiting Jumeirah.
Tips for a Better Visit
Try Qulabi. Order the Foul Qulabi with the green chili in olive oil sauce; one reviewer rated the foul 10/10 in that combination.
Check tamees. Ask whether tamees is included with your chosen dishes, since a review says it is only served with a few dishes and is not free.
Add gahwa. For a traditional finish, try Saudi gahwa with Hala al Tayabeen, a pairing specifically recommended by a reviewer.
Plan timing. Allow extra time during busy or special-service periods: one Ramadan visit waited 15 minutes for soup and much longer for the mains.
Use parking. Look for the free parking outside, which was specifically noted by reviewers and can make a Jumeirah breakfast stop easier.

Common Concerns
Service delays
Service can be inconsistent: one customer waited an hour without food or water, while another reported a very slow Iftar meal.
Extra bread
Tamees is not always included and is charged separately, which several reviewers found disappointing for the overall price.
High pricing
Some customers consider the menu expensive for foul and tamees, including a reported 170 AED order for four named dishes.
Tamees uneven
One otherwise positive review felt the tamees bread needed more refinement, so expectations may vary by visit.
Hygiene complaint
An older review reported finding a hair in a dish and receiving no apology, a serious complaint to keep in mind.

The Bottom Line
Foul and Tamees is a Saudi restaurant in Jumeirah focused on all-day breakfast and Hijazi flavours. You can build a meal around Foul Qulabi, shakshouka, hummus, mutabaq and tamees, then finish with Saudi gahwa or a dessert such as Hala al Tayabeen. Several reviewers with Saudi or Makkah connections say the flavours recall what they ate back home.
The strongest food feedback centres on the foul and bread. The Foul Qulabi is especially well regarded, including one 10/10 rating, while another reviewer found the freshly baked tamees soft and ideal with foul. Mutabaq and shakshouka also receive plenty of praise, though one customer wanted the shakshouka tomatoes cooked down further and another found the lentils bland.
The Saudi-themed decor, calm music and comfortable seating suit families, couples and casual meals with friends. Free parking outside is another practical plus. Service is not completely consistent.
Many recent reviews describe attentive, welcoming staff, but others report an hour-long wait without food or water and very slow Ramadan service. Prices are another point of debate: tamees may cost extra, and some diners consider the portions or menu expensive, while others find the cost reasonable for the location and setting. Check what comes with your order and allow time if visiting during a busy service.
